As I Wish For

---In the morning---

When Haruhime opened her eyes, she was dumbfounded to see her position. Her lip and nose was right in front of Prana's, even a slight push would render her to taste her admired and beloved savior. She pulled back her body a little, but with this she could see his b.a.r.e broad c.h.e.s.t and the defined muscle . Haruhime did not know why he slept topless, but this situation was really too much for her. She blushed really hard. If there was a mirror, she could basically see her face reflection like an apple she ate last night, so red, crimson, and juicy.

Unconsciously, her nose was bleeding facing this treat. Haruhime, who was a pure girl before, began aware the charm of the opposite gender. She tried to poke his cheek to check the situation. Seeing Prana who did not awake yet, she tried to snuggle to his neck and c.h.e.s.t like the last time. She felt very comfortable, safe, and somehow hot. Haruhime looked up, and feast his face again. So far as she could remember, his face was the most handsome than all of the men she saw in her fifteen years of her life. Somehow, she leaned her face forward, and she could even feel his even breath. The distance between her lips and his was getting closer and finally they touched each other. This time, a warm feeling surged through her heart, and her body was like being electrocuted by thousand volts electricity. She didn't know this feeling, but she knew that her feeling was so happy. Even though, this feeling was one-sided and Prana did not awake yet.

She touched her lip with her fingers, and wanted to do it again. But this time, she wanted her beloved to reciprocate it. However, when thinking about it, Haruhime was too ashamed to do it. She didn't have the courage to wait for him to wake up and do it again. Thus, she stood up, fix her clothes and pretended to wake up Prana.

She shake Prana to wake him and called him out. "Prana-sama, Wake Up". She did it for several times until got an answer for him.

"Enghhh, I don't wanna work today" He mumbled in his sleep.

Haruhime was confused hearing his reply. "Prana-sama, It's already late. Wake Up"

Prana, somehow replied on this "Five more minutes" he slightly opened his eyes, and closed it again.

Haruhime was frustrated watching his antics. She stood up and opened the curtain, but it was useless. Prana turned around avoiding the sunlight. Then, she saw a water flask on the table, and she got her ideas.

"Prana-sama, sorry, but if you won't wake up, we couldn't finish our objective for today". Thus, she splashed the water to his face.

Prana who was still sleeping was shocked feeling a wet and cold feeling in his face. He jerked and forcefully sat down.

*BUK* the sound of collision was heard.

The collision made his head clear from sleepiness, and he could see Haruhime was squating on the ground holding her forehead and almost crying.

"Uwuuuu..... It hurts..." Seeing her miserable state he went after her, and began to look at it. He could see a bump appeared on her forehead as a result of the collision.

"Umm, Sorry" He couldn't express much to her except his apology and began rubbing her forehead to ease the pain, since he was too abrupt before and his body was much tougher than her, thus it must be hurt.

Haruhime who was once again being too close to his face, began to blush after the experience before and couldn't say anything. Thus, silent was permeating the room, Haruhime was enjoying his affection, and Prana was tending her pain to fix his mistake.

After the activities in the room, both of them went out the inn to find some breakfast to fill their stomach.

They walked along the street, but did not discover any restaurants opening in the morning. Even the restaurant they had dinner before still cleaning the place and from the waitress the restaurant usually did not begin to cook till the daytime. Prana was troubled, he was too hungry to wait the restaurants to open for businesses.

Without any choices, he and Haruhime walk along the way and finally found a shop in the entrance of Daedalus Street.

The shop product was many kind of processed potatoes. Haruhime was ecstatic seeing this, since this was one of the favorites food she loved in the market last night, and began skipping to the stall. Prana seeing her antics did not know whether to laugh or cry seeing her like a child like this.

Prana bought three steamed sweet potatoes - two for him and one for Haruhime in addition to one pack of fried potatoes. As they came out of the shop, Prana's 'Awareness' domain picked a projectile with his left head side as the target. Since, his domain spread out in 30 meters as him as the center. Prana basically could 'see' it incoming. He calmly faced the direction, and shielded Haruhime in his back. Thus, he brought out his spear from his inventory, and swing the spear downward.

*Sriikk* the arrow's momentum was halted and it was split in two by the spear.

Prana faced the arrow's direction, and could see a person silhouette holding a bow sliding the roof.

'They are moving' Prana already anticipated it. Since last night, he was already waiting for the assassins to come. Seeing that the assassin already left, Prana consoled Haruhime and asked her to hold his hand when they were walking this time.

Haruhime was scared witnessing an assasination again, and the target was her and Prana-sama this time. Thus, hearing his partner suggestion she was quite happy and safe.

"Prana-sama, where are we going?" She asked.

Prana already had the objective for today, he wanted to meet someone. "Today, we are going to the northeastern of this city."

Haruhime guessed that Prana might want to buy a house. Since, from the description of the elf clerk yesterday, that place seemed to have an old house vibe and somewhat cheaper than others.

The entire journey was enjoyable for both of them. Especially for Haruhime, she was over the moon. Her Prana-sama bought her a necklace with an ornament in the shape of curled fox. In addition, he even helped her to place it on her neck.

Prana, however, thought that the necklace was similar to the Firefox browser logo in his original world. In addition, the gold color in it also fit Haruhime, thus he couldn't help to buy it furthermore, she looked over the necklace with longing eyes.

In the afternoon, after walking throughout the northeastern area, they arrived at a certain compound. At the gate, there was an emblem shaped with a sword struck in the ground.

Haruhime was puzzled, why they stopped in front of this compound. She tugged the corner of Prana's sleeves, and kind a feeling nervous.

"Come" Prana said to Haruhime, while patting her head. He walked inside the compound, and knocked the door.

*Knock* *Knock* Knock*

"Yesss" an unidentified woman's voice could be heard inside. However, when Haruhime heard this voice. She was shocked, and couldn't help to think that the sound was familiar to her.

*Creak* the sound of the old door opening.

"is there something?" The woman asked Prana.

Haruhime seeing this familiar face was choked. She asked with trembling voice, "Tsubaki-chan??"
