"Can you buy it now?"

Luminous repeated his question again, this time with more intonation. His hands full with toys and towels, walking slowly towards the bathroom door. I let out a big sigh.

"I can, but do I really have to do this? It's been several nights with Erii and all i did was buying milk!"

"Here's the thing, Adora," Luminous said as he put down the stuffs on the floor, "we are facing this weird and childish beautiful girl right now. And may I remind you, she is a WALKING DEADLY WEAPON. I don't know, I think buying milk would be the least thing to make me mad or stuff right now."

Luminous said a good point.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag. He really got a good point, but still, I just can't accept the fact that all I've been doing is shopping around for that girl.

I went out of the hotel room, leaving Luminous and Erii – who was enjoying the bath all alone – by themself.

"Good evening, Miss Adora. Walking out for a fresh air?" the receptionist asked calmly, as he continued writing on his papers. I smiled and nod, taking myself out of the hotel lobby.

Fresh air in Tokyo isn't exactly what I'm here for. Ignore the fact that I'm actually looking for milk, the night view of Tokyo is honestly what I love the most. I could spend my time walking around, just to see the crowds, or the tall buildings and all the flashing lights. Big glowing ads of anime girls and boys, celebrities, news, cars, everything.

I think they are neat.

"Little Miss!" said the store owner, happily. I smiled and walked towards him.

"Good eve, Sir, I'd like to buy the milk again tonight."

"Are you having sleepless nights? Tokyo isn't a very good city to sleep in, ah?"

I laughed a little and he went back in his little store. He's not exactly wrong. This city indeed makes me sleepless and a bit stressed, but not because of the night life or the crowds, nor the city noises.

It's because I have a deadly silent ticking bomb who's able to kill almost everyone in Tokyo, sleeping next to me.

"Here's the milk, I really hope you'd enjoy your sleep tonight," said the store owner as we exchange money and milk. I smiled and nod, walking outside of the little store.

Didn't take me that long to reach back to the hotel. I went inside and smiled to the kind receptionist who was still writing stuff on his papers. Pushed the buttons on the lift panel, walked through gloomy elegant hallway and finally I reached our room.

"Ah- there you are! You brought the milk?" Luminous asked, switching his eyes from TV to me.

Brought? Dude, I bought it!

"Yeah, here it is."

I took a glance of the girl who was sitting next to Luminous. She was staring at me and the milk in my hand. This is a new thing. After almost a week together, finally, she wanted to see my face.

But the stare didn't stop for 10 seconds only.

And it was getting weird.

"Something on my face...?" I asked with an awkward smile, my fingers pointing at my face. Erii just keep on staring, in silent. Luminous seemed confused himself.

"Ah... Erii, you want the milk? Dora, lemme give the milk to Er- "

And the girl reached out her left hand in the air, ready to get the milk bag from me.
