Taishi-sama and the Noh Player Chapter 4 : Our Second Day Together

The next day...

Miko's POV :
I accidentaly woke Kokoro up, because I was placing the set with the breakfast and drinks. "What's with all of the noise, Miko-san?" she asks. "My apologies, I was setting down the breakfast after receiving it from the maid." I respond. She seems to smile back, for me to took a surprise she is learning a lot. She probably is trying to say "It's okay." to me with a simple expression. In any case, we had our breakfast this morning. Then we took a bath, change our clothes into the uniforms that has been sent to all students. It's a bit different from the one I wore a few days ago. Kokoro seems to be used to it. "What's wrong?" she asked, noticing me staring at her. "Ah! Nothing. It's just I feel strange wearing this uniform." I replied. My, I must have spaced out a little. "What have you been wearing these days?", "The Crown Prince uniform." I replied to her question. "Well, this uniform seems to suit you so much. For some reason." she said. Wearing a black jacket with white trims on it, a plain T-shirt on the inside of the jacket, with a red bowtie, a golden badge with the logo of the academy, long-sleeved with a one-rolled part of the end, this jacket suit has buttons on it with also white trims that continues the line from the collar, long back part that seem to look like a cape for a second thought, a gray-ish blue-ish trousers, and a brown shoes seems unusually strange for me, and she thinks it suits me?! I am flattered.

Kokoro's POV :
'What was I saying?! Ugh, now he knew about my feelings!! Stupid Kokoro, ugh!' I thought to myself. "Kokoro, your bowtie isn't correct. How come you have made a simple mistake when it's been a while since you have wore this, while for me this is my first time and I got it correct? How funny." he replied to my comment. I'm so red, and he could probably see it already. He approaches me and getting even more closer. He looks down to my bowtie that's tied around my collar, grabs and unties it and restarts my progress. He's smiling, and yet his aura and charisma is making me so red. Why is he like this? It makes me so nervous, and I can also feel his warm breath from a far even though I'm shorter than him. "Finish. You look way cuter when your clothes is not messy like before." he said after he finished, and he seems proud of it. "T-Thanks...", "No problem. We should go now." he said. We grabbed our bags and leave the dorm to the classroom.

Time skip to after school...

Miko's POV :
Today was fun, especially with Kokoro. We have a test before, but luckily she seems to be able to do it by herself. It makes me just want to take my words back from yesterday. But she wasn't completely happy, because she was bullied by Seiga and her gang. She said, "Stay away from Miko! He is mine!!" and she seens intrigued with it, even though I saved and comforted her. She seemed sad, I wonder if there is any way I could comfort her. "Hey, Kokoro-chin. Can I ask you something?" I asked her, with a slight flirty tone. "First off, don't call me Kokoro-chin! Second, what is it?" she asked, and her mood changed quickly to a tsundere mode. "I just want to ask. Do you want to go to a festival this evening? It starts at 05:00 so I got the tickets as soon as possible." I replied. "Eh? How and when did you get the tickets?!", "I got it right before I met you. I overheard a conversation of two people, and so I rushed over there. I don't know what has gotten into me, so I simply just bought 2 for backups." I answered. "Fine! But don't think of it as a date or something, okay?!", "Yes, princess~." I said, with a jokeful, sarcastic, yet flirty and full of charisma to ensure her words. "S-s-shut up! I'm just a Noh player, I'm not a princess!!", " Whatever you say, Kokoro." I answered.

Miko's POV :
At 4, we both prepared ourselves. I wore a simple plain black shirt and a gray trousers, while Kokoro wore a strawberry pink t-shirt with poofy short sleeves and knee-long dark blue shorts. "Is this okay?" I ask Kokoro. "I should be the one asking! But yeah, it looks great." she said with tsundere tone, as usual. "You look pretty, Kokoro. And you were always, so no need to ask about it." I replied. "Hmph. Talk about pretty, it reminded me about the famous urban legend, Kuchisake-onna.", "Yeah. You're really know about her, huh?" I answered, full of surprise. "Yup. My family told me about her. Anyways, let's go to the festival!" she said with enthusiasm. I offered her my hand, trying to say "Hold my hand". She blushed and hugged my right arm. We both went to the festival and did many things.

Kokoro's POV :
We are at the festival. We bought takoyaki there, ride a scary roller coaster. I offered Miko-san to go to the haunted house. "Are you sure?", "Why? Are you scared~?" I teased him. "Shush! Let's go.", "Okay scaredy cat." I teased him again. We rode the slow and long ride. "This isn't so bad *yawns*." he said. To me, I'm starting to get scared. I guess that's my karma for teasing him? Then a jumpscare made an appearance while I'm spacing out. "Kyaaah..!!!!" I screamed. I didn't notice I jumped and hug Miko. "Are you scared, Kokoro~?", "Shut it!!". Almost to the end, he fell asleep on my shoulder. Eek! His hair is soft. But he tied it upwards like a little girl. The last jumpscare apeared and I screamed and jumped to hug Miko again. He wasn't fully asleep, so he woke up and seemed surprised with my sudden reaction. "Now who's the scaredy cat, huh?" he teases me. I stayed quite, blushing hard about realizing my actions. "It's over now, so don't worry.", " Y-yeah..." I said. Finally, it's 07:19. He offered me a last ride. I nodded once, and we hopped on it. It started and the ride spun slowly. We both looked at the view on the night sky. "Wow. It looked beautiful from here! But how come you don't pay at all to those rides?", "I am a very famous Shoutoku, after all. And yes, the view is very nice from here." he replied. "I still can't believe you kissed me when you described about love. It was my first you know!", "Yeah, I knew it. I might have thought of it as my chance. After all, it is the best thing to describe it." he answered. "Ah, yes... surely you don't seem to plan it."  I said it sarcastically. Suddenly, he closed up to me and leaned to the front of my face. "What makes you think I planned to kiss you~?", "I-I... I-" he cutted my sentence by kissing me. At this point, I'm completely red. I wasn't expecting it, so I passed out.

Miko's POV :
I chuckled after she passed out. 21:07, we return home and we went to bed. I consider it our first date, even though she would never agree with it. Heh...

Seiga's POV :
'Watch your actions, Kokoro. Remember that he is mine.'
