Monster Hunter Story (Heartless to Compasionate)

Bonding Time (Part 2)

Hiyama's turn

"Man, Im stuffed. They sure do provide delicious food," Arithia rubbed her belly while the others nodded. She turned her face to Hiyama.

"Hey Hiyama, don't forget. It's your turn now," Hiyama facepalmed. He forgot that it's time for him to be with the kid. He thought of a way to spend time with Ariel before his eyes glued to the Arcade section. His eyes lit up.

"Sure I do. Hey kiddo, let's go and have some fun," he grabbed Ariel's hand quickly before grabbing the poor kid with him to the Arcade, leaving the others dumbfounded.

He purchased some tickets for both of them. But before he could play any games, Ariel just stood still while playing with his fingers. He remembered that the kid was still feeling uneasy with them. He had to be careful not to break him accidentally. Or else he's gonna get a smack in the head by Ariel's guardian, Ray.

He walked carefully to Ariel before placing an arm on his shoulder.

"What's wrong? Come on, no need to be shy. Nothing bad is gonna happen. Today is the day for all of us spend time with you. If you need anything from the arcade, just tell me," he puffed his chest with pride. Ariel let out a small chuckle.

"Right, I-im sorry for all the trouble. Come on big bro Hiyama, let's play some games!" he grabbed the now widely smiling Hiyama.

'He called me big bro, he called me big bro. Oh man this kid sure do know how to get someone's heart' he thought dreamily in his mind. They played some games and of course Hiyama wins most of them. They did won some prizes in the end after playing those machines. Which took them one hour before deciding to head back to the others.

The others were waiting for both of them to finish their time. Sora was sleeping peacefully while her head is on Ray's shoulder. The young sergeant was playing with his phone, shrugging of the thoughts of Sora landing her head beside him. While Arithia, Hikari, Sora and Aiwa was just eating some ice cream they bought near the store.

The two finally got out with smile in their faces. The others finally stood up . It's time for them to go back to the base. So in short, it's time for the girls to be with Ariel.

(Time Skip)

Sora's POV

Finally we are back at the base. Those two took a lot of time in playing games while leaving us. Damn it, I couldn't forget that I slept on Ray's shoulder. I kept blushing everything my mind thought of it. I let out a sigh. It's good that Ray doesn't notice a thing. Heh, dumb dense soldier. 

Well because we, the girls don't know what to do with Ariel, Arithia suggests that he's going to take a bath with us. But the problem is, will he be alright with it?

"So Ariel, it's time for you to come with us!" Arithia said softly. Ariel glazed up to her with  a confused look. 

"What are we going to do miss?"

Arithia puts her thumb on her chin in a thinking manner. She pats Ariel's head. "How about you take a bath with the girls? I'm sure you're gonna enjoy it!" 

Ariel's face went red. His eyes went fuzzy when just thinking of a thought having a bath with pretty girls. He may be under aged, but still he's kinda shy when being around girls, especially when they are a lot older than him. 

"Is it okay though? I'm a boy and you guys-" he couldn't finish his sentence as embarrassment flows through his innocent veins. She smiled at his cuteness.

"Don't worry, we're not gonna do anything funny to you. Plus, you'll get to know us more," Arithia said.

He nodded. "I guess. But let me tell Ray-nii first," he walked off to Ray, leaving Arithia dumbfounded.
