As I Wish For

Even though the atmosphere was quite boisterous inside and he was quite pleased with that feel, he still wanted to go somewhere nice with Haruhime to end the date.

Prana bid his farewell to the Loki Familia, and Haruhime to her friends.

They went outside, and walked to the outer area. A young adventurer said that in the periphery around the old city, there was a nice tower that could overlook every nook in the city. Also, since today was full moon it must be nice to lean at each other while gazing at it.

They were holding each other hand, and silently walked in.

"Prana-sama, I want to help you" A sudden request broke their silent.

"didn't't you already help me?" He remembered that his house was clean.

"It's not that, but I want to help your adventure" She paused her steps. "I am worried if someday you won't come back and just leave me. It's pained me when I think about it. How powerless I am"

Prana felt warm inside. Even though, he was a stranger to this world, there was someone who thought his well being.

He smiled and rubbed her head. "It's fine, I could protect myself"

"I can help you. Takemikazuki-sama already explained my gift. He said the reason that I was abducted and targeted because I could help adventurers. He said my abilities could help in increasing their levels. With this abilities, I could help you better"

Prana about to decline her again. However, her eyes were showing signs unwillingness. He was afraid that once he refused, she would join others and being exploited and in danger once again.

"Umm, Haruhime. How about we talk this again once I wanted to dive again?" He could only dodge the question.

"Mmm" Even though unwilling, Haruhime could only nod her head and agree for now.

Since, the destination was already in front.

"Come, let me carry you to the top" Prana swooped Haruhime's to his embrace and jumped through the stairs.

Initially, Haruhime wanted to shriek after suddenly being carried. Then, she began to blush after she knew her situation being princess carried by Prana.

Thus, she quietly snuggled her head and savor the affection.

After jumping for several times, finally they were at the top of the building. The building exterior was similar with the lighthouse commonly seen at the beach.

Prana kept hugging Haruhime as they sat down and comfortably watched the city. He didn't want her to slip and fall down from this height.

"The view here was quite nice"

"Un" Haruhime replied softly. She agreed, the view was quite nice, his face was in detailed view, his nose - eyes - lip - and his chiseled face and his firmed muscles she rested her head to.

The way he treated everything seems too m.a.t.u.r.e and sometimes he went too extreme despite his age. She couldn't help wondering, what kind of life he went through before, were all of the great adventurers always went through the vicissitudes of life in their childhood.

"Prana-sama, I love you" She murmured her confession.

"En, I will love you too"

Hearing his promise, she couldn't help to tear up. He always treated her as someone who needed protection. But, today he said he was willing to answer her love in time.

Haruhime didn't know where her courage came from. She looked at him face to face, and kiss him. She was too happy. In addition, to her friends teaching, this was the first thing she knew to express her love and happiness and cement their relationship.

Prana also taken aback by her boldness this time. He wasn't a v.i.r.g.i.n, and he was quite accustomed to kissing. But, it was his first time being at the receiving party.

Thus, Prana held Haruhime waist and neck and hugged her to his embrace.
