Takuma stopped when he noticed that his teammates trailed behind. "You two should walk a little faster."
Akari walked beside Senri and held up her parasol over their heads. "Rima said that Senri gets sunburned easily, so I must match his pace."
"How can both of you be so full of energy during the day?" Senri yawned.
"Don't sulk Senri, we have an important job to do." Suddenly, Takuma stopped walking. "I sense a vampire nearby."
"Then, we should hurry before it hurts innocent people." Akari gave Senri her parasol and ran ahead.
Akari came across a tall man with crimson eyes who had cornered Yuki and Zero. Why is Zero hesitating? She thought, he didn't think twice when he aimed his gun at me.
The Level E tried to leap forward, but his legs got tangled in a large bramble bush that emerged from the ground.
"Good work, Akari. I'll take it from here." Takuma unsheathed his katana and slashed the deranged vampire in half. "It's done," he smiled and sheathed his sword.
"I didn't know that you were skilled with the sword," Akari's eyes lit up. "Can you teach me how to wield it?"
"I am not as skilled as you imagine, but I can show you a few techniques later."
"Why am I here? You and Takuma didn't even need me." Senri muttered.
Yuki stepped forward. "Takuma, Senri, and even Akari...why would you all come here to do this sort of thing?"
Zero stood beside her, but stayed quiet.
"Yuki please go back and treat your wound or it'll excite our senses. I'll answer your questions later." Takuma said.
Surprisingly, the two retreated without complaint.
Akari walked up to Takuma and Senri. "Now that our mission is complete, I will treat you both to some dessert unless you would rather eat lunch?"
"I think desert is fine," Senri stood next to Akari and held the parasol above their heads.
She nodded and looked at Takuma expectantly.
"I am fine with anything too, but I feel bad making you pay." Takuma rubbed the back of his neck.
"We're friends now aren't we? I want to treat you two," Akari smiled.
Takuma sighed. "I guess it won't hurt if you treat us."
"Great. I know of this nice cafe that sells the best sweets. Let's also buy a snack for Rima," Akari lead the boys to a different street.
When they arrived at the cafe, Akari led them to a booth in the back. She picked up the menu and looked it over. "Let me know whenever you guys are ready to order."
Takuma closed the menu. "I am ready."
"That was fast!"
Senri looked through the menu and frowned.
Akari leaned forward. "Are you having trouble finding something to order, Senri?
He nodded.
"In that case, I recommend you try the Cookies N Cream parfait; it's delicious."
"Okay, I'll go with that one." Senri put down the menu.
A boy with light brown hair came over with a notepad in hand. "Are you all ready to order? No way, is that you Akari?"
Akari smiled. "It's nice to see you again, Arata. Also, we'd like to order two Cookies and Cream parfaits and one banana split."
Arata wrote the order in his notepad and smiled. "We'll bring your orders in a bit."
