-Mana P.O.V-
"What was I doing here again? Oh right, Seijuro asked me out", I tilted my head confused.
This is the first time Seijuro asked me out, and why did he call me princess yesterday? That's strange. We meet up at 10, the designated location is the park
"Mana, I've been waiting", he walked to me with a bright smile. I never thought he would arrived earlier than me. "O-Ohayo Seijuro", I stuttered. "What's the matter?", he asked. "Well I was wondering whether you sick Seijuro", I furrowed my chin. "And why would you think I'm sick?", he looks upset.
"Because Seijuro, you're so DIFFERENT, these days", I interrogate him. "Seijuro, did you hit your head? Did you have a fever?". "Now I'm really upset Mana, how could you say that", Seijuro frowned. "But Seijuro, you're really different you know...you used to be mad at me and act like a boss, geez you're a devil...", I complained. "Excuse me? Devil?", Seijuro glared. "I'm serious Seijuro, what happen to you?", I examined him neatly.
"I see, so you're saying the man you're falling in love with...is a devil", he smirked.
My face reddened, "That's...not what I meant".
He grabbed my hand, "What a funny reaction".
He chuckled and grabbed my hand as if I'm precious to him. We chat a lot on the way, we sat on the bench resting our feet. Then a certain place piqued my interest, a maze. Maze in the park, yep.
"Ah you want to go there perhaps?", Seijuro asked.
"Huh? Well I want to but...".
"Good timing, we should go there", he suggested. Seijuro is awfully kind to me today, I can't help but suspicious about his behavior. "Seijuro, I think you should go to the doctor", I said blankly. "I'm upset you said that", Seijuro glared.
"But seriously Seijuro, you're not NORMAL today!".
"Is it that shocking...that I act like this?", Seijuro sighed.
"Yes, are you hiding something?", I glared.
He tensed up but then he pulled a deep breath. "You'll find out soon enough".
"Tell me now, how hard can it be?", I groaned.
"I will tell you if the moment is RIGHT", a blush crept on his face.
"When will the moment is RIGHT?", I complained.
"If I tell you now, you will ruin the fun", Seijuro sighed.
"Now that's rude", I pouted.
"But that is the fact, you're too dense".
"Anyway I've been wondering...is it okay for you to walk around with stitches on your back?", I asked worriedly, ignoring his previous sentences.
"I'm fine Mana, thank you for worrying me", he smiled kindly.

There are three entrances in the maze, I take the middle while Seijuro take the right. "Seijuro, let's race to the center shall we?", I suggested. "Sounds fun, challenge accepted", he smirked mischievously. We ran inside, racing to the center of the maze like a little kid. I scanned my way out, but much to my dismay I found too many dead end.
"Screw this, I will lose!".
When I walked a little further, there's a paper sign on the wall of the maze.
This way, Mana.
There's sign toward left.
Move straight, you will find it.
"Seijuro made these?".
The next sentences made me blushed.
I know you can do it.

"About time you got here, fool", Seijuro mocked me. "What's with THAT attitude?", I gritted my teeth. "You're taking your time", he growled. "WHAT'S WITH YOU!? You're being so NICE earlier that I might even cry!!", I mocked him back.
"What do you-".
"You're the one who stick those papers right?", I asked annoyed.
"No", he obviously lied.
"LIAR", I pouted.
"What now?", he rolled his eyes annoyed.
"This is NOT fair!! I don't want you to help me!", I hit him repeatedly.
"Stop it", he hold both my hands.
And then the things get awkward...our face just inches away.
"Ah,..".
"I apologize...", I blushed. "No, it's alright...", he shrugged it off. The air is heavy, not even Seijuro nor I started a conversation. "Mana, I want to say something important...", he coughed.
"Yes?".
"I....want...to...", he took a small red box from his pocket.
"Uhm...".
Suddenly the sprinkler turned on.
"HOW PERFECT".
* * *
"Are you alright?", Seijuro asked. Both of us being heavily wet because of the broken sprinkler. "Just cold, that's all". "Wait here, I will buy a hot milk", he said. Seijuro disappear, just like that.
"I wonder what he want to say...".
"Hey Mayoi", a hand covered my mouth from behind.
"What the-!?".
"Ssh! Shut up!!!", Haizaki appeared out of nowhere.
"Haizaki?".
