The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 21: Dating
In the town square Satoru meets Airi who looks upset because the man forgot about the date he promised this morning.
Airi showed a sullen face and turned her face away. "When I waited for you from earlier, but you may forget his promise"
At that time Satoru remembered about the promise he made with Airi in the morning. "ah! sorry Airi-san, I'm completely forgetful" Satoru lowered his head and apologized to Airi regretfully.
"Alright I'll forgive you for this time, but what do you think of forgetting me!?" Airi stared intently at Satoru's eyes asking for an explanation about it.
Satoru tells Airi about the horn rabbit he caught and kept. "That's how it is, so right now I'm thinking about their cage. I'm sorry, because I forgot the promise..."
"So you said you were trying to keep the horn rabbit? forgetting about me?"
"Well.ahaha...." Satoru could only laugh awkwardly because of that.
The atmosphere became quiet and awkward as no one spoke.
Why does it feel so awkward...
I need to find a topic to talk about...
Satoru glanced at Airi's clothes. "That dress really suits you Airi-san, you look really pretty" she said with a smile.
"A~ teri~ ma kasih... but don't think because you praised me so I'll forget the previous incident hmph!" Airi's face was slightly flushed with praise just now, which is why she turned her face away.
"Yes, yes sorry. Where are we going now?" Satoru extended his hand and smiled.
Airi received a helping hand of Satoru "Then, what if we go for a walk in the city park?"
Satoru accepts Airi's proposal, they go to the city park filled with beautiful blooming flowers. Children playing together and some families having a picnic.
Satoru and Airi sat under a tree and rolled a mat. Airi put a basket filled with food and took it.
"It's. aaa..." Airi took a sandwich and fed it to Satoru.
"A~ Airi-san...?" Satoru looked nervous as he saw a beautiful woman about to bribe him.
"Of open your mouth, aaaa" Airi said with a sweet smile.
Satoru opened his mouth and ate the sandwich that Airi had bribed with a pretty flushed face. "Ehm! yummy!"
"really!? thank goodness then" Airi looked delighted as Satoru praised the taste of the sandwich.
"Did you make it yourself?" Satoru asked while eating the sandwich.
"She..." Airi just laughed happily because of it.
At that time the wind was blowing slowly, Satoru saw a girl who was so sweet sitting next to him while smiling at eating a sandwich in his hand. The girl turned her head in surprise to see Satoru.
"What's wrong?" He said in wonder.
"Ah, no. It's nothing" Satoru instantly averted his gaze and finished the sandwich he had in his hand.
Satoru thought about the place they would visit in the future.
Hmmm...if there is no wrong theater in this city, what is there?
Looking at Satoru who closed his eyes like he was thinking of something Airi pinched slowly on the man's cheek.
"Awh! What's up Airi-san?" Satoru asked in astonishment because the girl pinched his cheek all of a sudden.
Satoru simply smiled "What if we go see the theater?" Her words took Airi gently.
Airi nodded happily, the two of them went towards the art scene building. There are so many stunning works of art such as painting, sculpture and so forth. This place also has a stage to hold theater or dance performances.
After purchasing the tickets Satoru and Airi sat quietly waiting for the show to start.
It tells the story of an ordinary witch's love for a royal princess.
Haaa. so this is the story of Romeo and Juliet isekai yah version...
On the stage of the theater, two people were seen a girl with a crown and a man in a magician's robe.
"O my girl, compared to the moonlight, I prefer to see your smile in the sun" said the witch (the story's protagonist)
"Oh, sweetheart. Use your magic to free me from this palace prison" Pinta the princess.
This story is said to be taken from a true story. The protagonist, a witch of the common people, falls in love with a princess from his kingdom.
The princess' fiancee did not accept that, she not only killed all the family of the protagonist...
On stage, a woman stabs a knife at the protagonist from behind.
"Aah!!" Airi who saw the right was shocked.
The protagonist of the story was even killed by the princess's own servant. In the end the princess committed suicide telling a love story that ended bitterly.
I thought it was the end of the story, but it still continues...
The protagonist's body, thrown into the abyss, rises back into an undead. He killed everyone who lived in the noble's residence. On the verge of killing the noble, a holy knight managed to kill the protagonist first to become the anti******* in the story.
The moment after that incident, the nature of the nobleman changed drastically. But he died as a result of the curse of another noble and the story ended.
"Prok... prok...no..!!" All the spectators applauded.
"Good story huh, Airi-san?" At that moment Satoru saw Airi's tearful face. "Ehh? a~ what's up Airi-san?!"
"Not~ I just feel sad because of the story..." Airi replied quietly while wiping her tears.
After finishing watching the theater show, the two of them went to a cafe. Order some food and drinks while having a casual conversation.
"The show just went well" Airi said as she stirred the coffee mug at the table with a small smile.
"Yes, but it's a pity that the protagonist died being killed by the holy knight before taking his revenge" Satoru replied as he looked out the window.
"I think it's a better thing than him killing that noble..." Said Airi while looking at Satoru's face.
Satoru smiled "You're right, there's nothing good about revenge. After all, he had already lost his mind when he turned into an undead"
After finishing eating Satoru went out of the cafe while Airi went to the wc first.
At that time there was Haruna who was walking home to his inn. "Eh, isn't that Satoru-san?" Haruna saw the man she knew standing at the door of the cafe alone.
"Sator-" As she was about to call out her name, Haruna fell silent for a moment when she saw a blue haired girl coming to greet Satoru with a sweet smile.
"Who is he? is it possible that she is Satoru-san's girlfriend?" At that moment, Haruna felt a tightness in her chest. "Eh, what is this? why does my chest feel tight? ah no, I need to get back to the inn"
