After finally admitting to the others that they are in a relationship. Kotori and Umi are now dating freely. No more hiding from Nico. A big surprise was Nico was actually falling for Maki Nishikino. Now that they are free from the scrutiny of the others. They can now go wherever they want. And this time no member of Muse will be following them. It's a welcome relief for them.

Hey Umi-chan....

What is it Kotori-chan?

I want an alpaca stuffed toy. (points to the archery game at the side near the video games.)

I see... Don't worry my little bird. I will get you what you want.

Oh thank you so much my beloved archer.

Umi takes aim at one of the targets. She takes a deep breath and relaxes her hands. She then lets go of the arrow. It hits the bullseye. She takes aim again. And just like earlier, she makes another bullseye. After three successful tries Umi wins the elusive alpaca stuffed animal for Kotori.

Here you go Kotori-chan.

Oh thank you so much my beloved archer.

It was nothing. Hey wanna watch a movie?

Sure... As long as you don't hide when the actors do something shameless.

I won't this time my little bird. Besides we've already done something shameless.

Hihi.... I love you Umi-chan.

I love you too Kotori-chan.

So they decided to watch a movie. Umi didn't hide this time. She kept half of her focus on the movie. And half of it on Kotori's face. She decides to put one arm over her shoulder. Kotori reciprocates by wrapping her arms around Umi.

After watching a movie they decided to eat a cake shop. Kotori ordered a strawberry cheese cake. While Umi ordered blueberry cheese cake. As Kotori slowly eats her cheese cake. Umi just simply watches her eat and not touching her order.

Hey Umi-chan...

Huh? Uh.... What is it Kotori-chan?

Are you going to just stare at me or are you going to eat that cheese cake?

Oh.... Yeah.... Sorry Kotori-chan. I'm just so mesmerized by your beauty.

Umi-chan.... (blushing)

Hihi.... You're really cute when you blush Kotori-chan.

(shoves a piece of blueberry cheese cake in Umi's mouth) Umi-chan you're making me feel embarrassed.

(chokes because of the cheese cake) Kotori-chan (coughing a little because of the cake) are you trying to kill me?

Huh? No.... I'm sorry Umi-chan. I just got kinda carried away when you said that I'm cute when I blush. Here have a drink of my ice tea.

(smirks) Thanks Kotori-chan. But I like a direct kiss and not an indirect kiss. (drinks her own ice tea)

U Umi-chan.... Rrr Right now? (gets a little shy)

Suddenly two unfamiliar girls shows up in front of them.

Ara Ara what do we have here?

Anju-chan don't interrupt them.

Anju-san, Erena-san what are you two doing here?

We like to ask you that ourselves.

We're officially dating. How about you two?

Same as you. Although we did have a little "private wars".

That's nice to hear. Umi-chan and I have already entered each other's "Yume No Tobira".

Holy shit!!! You girls also had a "shocking party"?

Yup... And I just love the way my little bird moaned.

Damn! Anju-chan nearly drained my energy.

Hihi looks like we are all dating without the need to hide from our friends.

Ahhh yes Kotori-san that is so true. Well we will be leaving you two alone now. I just got turned on suddenly. Oh Erena-chan....

Not again... Sheesh Anju-chan you know we still have to practice for the preliminary finals.

Aw come on. Just one round I promise not to ask for another.

Ok ok... Jeez... Looks like I need to see a doctor.

Hihi... Have a great time Erena-san. 😂😂😂

After they finish eating Umi and Kotori decided to go shopping. They went to the different clothing shops in Akihabara. Umi enjoyed her date with Kotori. The childhood dream of her to walk along side with her dream girl is now fulfilled. Kotori on the other hand has found the one who is truly meant to be for her. After they finish shopping, Umi takes Kotori home. They arrive just in time as Chairwoman Minami has just finished cooking dinner. Kotori knocks on the door.

Knock knock

Come in it's open Kotori.

Tadaima

Pardon the intrusion

Umi-san I didn't know you would accompany my daughter home. I thought you two were out on a date.

We just finished dating Okasan.

I see.... Have you eaten dinner yet?

We both just had cheesecake madam chairwoman.

Then I ask you Umi-san to have dinner with us.

Thank you madam chairwoman. I will be glad to accept your invitation.

As they sit by the dining table they said a thank you prayer before eating. Then they start eating. Chairwoman Minami then suddenly popped a question for them?

So Umi-san, where do you plan to study in college?

To be honest madam chairwoman I haven't decided yet on my three choices. But I would love to study in London particularly Oxford University.

I see... And you Kotori? My first choice was Tokyo University. But my second choice would be Oxford University too Okasan.

Seems that you two don't want to separate from each other. So what do you plan to take up in college?

For me ma'am I would like to take up Literary Arts since I love reading and writing poetry.

I won't ask you anymore Kotori since we already both know the answer. You two definitely make a lovely couple. By the way Umi-san does your parents approved your relationship with my daughter?

Yes madam chairwoman. They said that as long as I don't step on anybody's personality and dignity they will approve it.

I see.... In that case, the same goes for me. I'm giving you my blessings this early.

Thank you Okasan.

Thank you madam chairwoman.

By the way how is Honoka-san?

She's currently working on her homework madam chairwoman.

I see.... She must have been loaded with a lot of homework.

Oh yes she's loaded with a lot of homework.

*But not the kind of homework where she needs to study.*

Madam Chairwoman I have to go now. My parents might be worried about me.

I'll escort her outside Okasan.

Guess I'll see you in school tomorrow. Sayonara Umi-san.

Sayonara madam chairwoman.

As Kotori escorts Umi outside, Tsubasa and Honoka have managed to slip away again from the curious eyes of the public.
