Eternal Saṃsāra: The Wanderer of Worlds [29] Date (2)

[29] Date (2)

Chapter 29: Date (2)

—

"The line's long, we should head back."

"We already spent ¥5000 on parking, won't it be a waste to go back now?"

"That's true…"

I and Tsubasa had to wait in a pretty long line. She was anxious about it being too late, and I was anxious that the sun would set before we could ride the wheel. I wanted to see the sights myself.

In the end, I had no choice but to use a little trick. It would have been easier if I could cast Spells freely, but I have to make do with Martial Techniques.

Since I already learned two of the three cloud techniques, this would complete the set. It was a defensive technique.

[Symphony of the Epheral Veil: User releases cloud Qi to spread blurry mist around him. Then, by harmonizing their Qi with the mist, the user creates a soothing, lodic hum within the haze. While the mist masks their position from enemy eyes, this sound can mask their movents and also distract opponents using their ears, impairing their focus. It can also serve as a form of psychological warfare, unsettling opponents.]

With the addition of Nimbus Stride and Vapor Cloud’s Bombardnt, this was the final Cloud Qi technique I’d learn in Gold. I learned it in a matter of seconds, refreshing my mories of the technique and how to perform it using Soul Reflection. I took a deep breath in and circulated my Qi in a specific rhythm, causing a mist to spread from my body. It spread so fast that normal eyes should have missed the source.

"Huh? What's going on? Where did this…"

"Is this so new kind of tech? Whoa-"

"Is the park trying out new tricks?"

The crowd panicked as the mist ford with a strange sound. I held back the intensity of the "psychological warfare" part since that'd be too much for re mortals to withstand at full force.

"A-aqua? Are you there?"

I heard Tsubasa call for as I put my arms around her, leaning down to whisper.

"I'm here. Don't worry, we are fine, it's who did this. Hold my hand, we'll move to the front of the line."

"Oh. Is this legal?"

As it was my mana that took the shape of this mist, I could still see clearly. I held her hand, which she tightened the grip of, and led her away from the line. I moved to the front of the line and used the mist to push back a bit of space behind the first two people. It'd be weird if I was at the very beginning of the line, so it was better to be second.

"We are here," I said and circulated my Qi again, dispersing the mist just as everything returned to normal and people began to complain.

A minute later, amidst the still confused crowd that kept complaining to the workers, we got our tickets and stepped into the iron gate that led to the wheel ahead.

We had to wait half a minute as the wheel paused on its spin and a gondola chamber stopped in front of us.

"It's finally here!"

"Let's go in."

I tapped Tsubasa's shoulder and nudged her to step in, and as she did I followed behind her. Once we were in, we closed the door and sat on seats that faced one another.

The wheel began to move. Even when we were so close to the ground, the view was amazing. As it moved up it paused every now and then to let passengers step into the other chambers. The two of us spent our ti looking outside and chattering about the sights we saw. I had moved beside her by then, kneeling on the seats and looking out via the windows behind her seat.

"Look! It's the Mori JP Tower."

The tallest building in Japan, standing at an impressive 325 ters. We could see it from this high, and this wasn't the tallest we could be. We were going higher.

A few more minutes passed, and we were at the very peak now. The sun was visible from here, in the western sky, as it was preparing to dip into the horizon. We both stared, this ti we didn't talk; the beauty of stars could make anyone speechless, and despite once being a wielder of light myself, this sight earned a mont of silence.

It was gorgeous.

After a while, the wheel began to move us downwards. We would enjoy another spin, so we had around ten minutes left on us. We sat back down in our respective seats, just staring at one another. As silence had finally managed to settle on us earlier, it lasted a bit and Tsubasa used that mont to think.

My adopted cousin from my adopted uncle stared at in silent contemplation.

"That was a beautiful scene," she said. "I couldn't have asked for a better first date."

"Thanks, I try." I shrugged it off jokingly.

She smiled at . "I'm serious. This is… the first date of my life, you know? In my mind my first date always was going to the movies, having dinner, or sothing along the lines of a typical troupe. I didn't even dream of this kind of date before."

"Mhm."

"So I want to ask, what do you really want from , Aqua?" Her smile dropped as she gave a serious look.

The mood changed. The enjoyable air was still there but it was pressed by a thick aura of restlessness. She looked serious as if she was interrogating , but I could hear her beating heartbeat from here. She was more nervous than anything about my next words.

So I chose them correctly, "Only thing I want is you. Isn't that obvious?"

The way her expression twisted, her lips quenched, wasn't the reaction I wanted. She bit her lip and held back her tears, while her eyes glared at .

"Why now all of a sudden? I gave you so many signals over the years, and you ignored them all. But now you want ? Why? And in what way, really? You kissed m-Cho right after you kissed , what did that even an? In what way do you want ?"

Uh oh… I wasn't expecting her to break down like this. Of course, it made sense, because she didn't understand. She added more to her spiteful words.

"You hid your secrets from , too. None of our parents know, so it's fine I guess, but I always thought you, Ruby and I were like a trio. We three were close and helped one another out with everything. But I turned out to be the only one amongst us three who was in the dark. I wouldn't have asked you to teach magic or whatever, but at least you could have told . How did you guys co to learn this anyway? And that this world is much more than what it seems to the naked eye. But you told none of that. You guys never trusted ."

I sighed, "Knowing about the supernatural without ans to protect yourself brings more harm than benefits. In which case, I'd have had to teach you magic, but that would an I was dragging you into a uselessly dangerous side of the world without your consent. You'd have been too young to give consent because you wouldn't have and still don't understand the dangers of it all."

Then I added with a smile, "For example, did you notice how easily I created that mist? What if there is soone out there who can do that, but with poison? As in, a poison mist. Thousands of people would die from this kind of power, and you might be one of them. But luckily, the normal people of this world are mostly safe, there is so kind of mage law or maybe natural magic that stops magical beings from lashing out on random civilians. They can still do that, mind you, but it's not common."

"...."

"I love my mother, but as you probably notice, even she is a normal human." I said, "It's not because I don't trust you, Tsubasa, it's because I cared about you since the start and I didn't bring you to this side. Maybe you still don't understand, but no, I am not guilty."

When Ai was brought, her expression fell as she looked down. Her hand was resting on her thighs, curled up and tight. While Tsubasa had the right to compare herself with Ruby, she knew I loved my mother more than everyone else. I always have a soft spot for my birth mother(s), you can't help but feel that when they used to change your diapers at 3 AM in the morning. So, she suddenly understood what I ant.

"I… I understand now. I didn't know that." She said, sighing and raising her head. "I'm so-"

"Don't apologize yet," I interrupted her. "I only answered half your ranting, I deserve the other half. Your signals that I ignored. There are two truths to that. One is related to what I explained, I didn't want a normal girl to get entangled in the supernatural just because I liked her, just because we dated. So I ignored your signals."

I added, "And, you're my cousin. It's just in papers, sure, but I didn't want people to give you weird looks in the future. I never really cared about people's thoughts, but as the future owner of the Strawberry Agency, you ought to. Lastly…" I leaned over, her sad and serious face coming too close to . "I never really realized how big your boobs were."

"__?!"

There was half a second's silence before she blinked and flinched, putting her hands around her breasts as she stared at in shock. She wasn't expecting the sudden off guard comnt, and that's good.

I leaned back, "Relax now, I don't like how serious you're looking. It's just a date, and well I did confess just earlier but it's not like you have to accept. It's understandable if you find it unfair that I suddenly want you after seeing your naked chest. I just want to let you know that nothing changes between us even if you reject , we'll just return to how we were. Well, I'll be a little hurt, but I probably deserve it for ignoring you until now."

"N-no…" she quickly said, and then held her voice low and muttered. "I don't want to see you hurt… I felt so anxious when I got the mories from my mother about that night when you fought. When I woke up, luckily you were healed, otherwise I'd have cried. Don't be hurt."

I blinked, "Don't be hurt, suggest you're rejecting ? Oh okay."

"I didn't say that." She said as I grinned. "Bastard."

"Aw, you shouldn't curse your—" I paused. "Am I your boyfriend now?"

"...You can be my anything you want, Aqua." She looked into my eyes and said, but she couldn't maintain eye contact after that and looked away. "Mother just said you can be my 'cute little blood servant' who'll feed blood every ti I'm thirsty."

"Doesn't that sound sweet, except I don't think you're a master material," I reached out my hands and grabbed her waist.

I yanked her towards as her ass fell on my lap. Her face went red as she looked in the eye. My hands squeezed her ass, so tightly that it would be uncomfortable for normal girls, but all she did was let out a sweet, mind-soothing moan. It probably helped that my passive aura made her comfortable around easily. My right hand raised up and fell on her butt, making her shudder in a mixture of pain and pleasure as she gasped.

"W-what are you-"

"Just showing your mother that you didn't turn out a Dom like her. She should know to not press her sexual preferences down on her daughter," I leaned down, my lips near her nape, as I breathed down and kissed it. "You like pain, you're not a master material. If she's suggesting a master-servant thing, we can do that too. But you'll not be the master there."

I understood that Hanekawa had suggested this as a joke, but what if I turned it around? Surely, I didn't mind having Tsubasa as my girlfriend now, but the initial point that I didn't tell Tsubasa stood — that having her as my girlfriend wouldn't make able to move in and out of my house as I please, as she is my neighbor. So I wanted another girl as my girlfriend even if it's just for nas for now, and for that it's better if Tsubasa didn't start as my girlfriend.

"Though I have to make one thing clear," I said, "If you do choose this, we won't just be master and servant in nas. Since you have that night's mory, you must rember the authority I used on your mother to break her will? I have a sort of White Tiger Authority, and as a White Tiger yourself, becoming my servant would an you'd beco stronger and receive other benefits. It's a blood pact, you'd be my [Incarnation], my protégé."

"Erm, I don't think-"

She tried, but I took her opened lips as a sign to embrace her. I pulled her body into my embrace and kissed her. She was taken aback, but she didn't fight back. She just moaned in my mouth, her hands shaking for a mont before they reached out and hugged my head.

Here is a fun fact; Ferris Wheels are a very popular sex spot for couples. This was one of the reasons why I brought us here.

When the kiss ended, Tsubasa looked at with droopy eyes filled with love. "We shouldn't do that here…"

"We can decide about the relationship later, but for now we are going to do sothing fun. We only got a few more minutes." I said as my hands rose around her curves, and my lips pressed down on hers again.

"We shouldn't…!" She tried, only to moan at my hands, feeling her body as if she were delicious food. Which she indeed was, and I was going to devour her soon.
