Ao's pov

My mind is still fuzzy from the episode back. I stopped infront of a convinience shop to get some drinks and i couldnt help myself but grabbed a can of beer as well. I sat outside and cracked the can open but before i could drink the beer. I pulled my fingers to my lips. My heart was pumping. Is this how a kiss felt like?

Ao:
"Arghh baka Ao!!"

Stranger:
"Are you okay? Whats wrong? Why are you drinking at such a young age."

Ao:
"I would have you know i am 22 and why do you care?"

I looked up and saw a young beautiful girl. Thin, white and there was the eyes.

Stranger:
"Ah forgive me for not introducing myself, i am Mizuno Yui. Are you sure you're 22? You look about the same age as me."

I remembered i was in this body.

Ao:
"Ah haha just kidding, i thought you were the shop keeper, i have to keep my act up."

Suddenly i saw a few guys holding camera and they looked pretty shady.

Ao:
"Psst. Yui are you like famous or something?"

I pointed over

Yui:
"What? Even with all this cover they still notice me?"

From there i knew she has to be someone. She turned and faced me while pulling her hat down. Wait.. Mizuno Yui, where have i heard the name before. Ah forget about that i have to solve this now, she looks frightened.

I stood up and dropped my can of beer.

Yui:
"Ah! Don't"

Ao:
"Erm! You are bothering us can you leave us alone?"

They stopped taking photos and walked towards us. I was shocked by what they did also and sense something was off. This Mizuno san obviously doesn't want this attention.

I grabbed her right arm and pulled her along with me and started running.

Ao:
"Come on!! We're leaving!!"

Yui:
"Ah! Wait!"

I know we didnt have the time to relax so i just pulled her along. I headed the direction to my home as that is the only route which i am familiar with. I didnt notice two things back then.

I have started a clock inside Yui.

The guys that were at the shop were still following us.

Ao:
"This is my house, Mizuno san, we can hide in here for awhile."

Yui:
"Isn't this Kikuchi household?"

Ao:
"Ah yes. I am Kikuchi Ao. How did you know?"

Yui:
"Moa didnt tell you i was coming over?"

Then i remembered Moa did actually say something about this. Before i had the chance to speak. The men behind caught up. I stared at them and pulled Yui behind me and passed her the key.

Ao:
"What do you want?! You're on Kikuchi's property i will call the cops!"

Man 1:
"Wait up and listen! *pant pant*"

He pulled up his name card and handed to me.

Man 2:
"Listen, we are from a branch office in clearstone records and we were out scouting for a new member to join a band."

Man 3:
"Just when we were about to give up, we saw you. You look gorgous and cute, plus! You fit in just nice into the criteria! Please contact us if you're interested!"

Ao:
"Uh... WHAT?! AH! Uhm if i... i.."

I was shocked, i mean when i look in the mirror i think that i look pretty cute but for someone to say it to your face, its pretty embarassing. I didn't know what to reply. I looked at them and it looks like they would not lrave without an answer.

Ao:
"Uh.."

Yui:
"Can you guys leave? We have something on!"

Man 1:
"Wait.. that voice could it be?"

She spun around and took off her glasses.

Yui:
"We Amuse, has already got tabs on her."

Man 2:
"This is unexpected.."

Man 3:
"Lets leave for now."

They all stood up, straightened their tie and left the scene. I turned and looked at Yui who fell to her knees.

Ao:
"Arrigatou. You saved me."

Yui:
"Well.. i could see its your first time handling them."

Ao:
"Hey! You don't look so experienced yourself."

With that, we burst out laughing. I unlocked the door and let Yui in.

Moa:
"Ao! You are back! wait what? Yui? Why are you with Ao?"

We explained everything to Moa as short and sweet as we can.

-Time skip 3 months ahead-

I have never saw myself in this position before. After this will the owner of this body's wish come true?
Did i help your family, Moa?
Are you proud, Yui?
