Hiroshi was calm yet unwavering. He reached his hands out slowly to grab Aya's hands. He said, "I thought you should come with us as a family." Hiroshi turned slightly to look at the view tree; it had grown brighter than before, where he last night saw that she arrived from the car vroom that wasn't there before. He said. "At first I was scared because of that smile that felt really a bit scary." He slightly laughed at the sound of his fears but looked at her and said, "While in reality you want someone to talk to." Hiroshi just thought of an idea just to sneak her in without his family noticing that she's been here.
He grabbed her hands tighter; her eyes had widened at that. A gasp came from her mouth. Hiroshi gave a bright smile and said. "Don't worry; I am here to help you." His voice was very gentle; her shoulders relaxed from the impact of his voice.
Hiroshi and Aya were in the forest they had yet to discover. It looked pretty to them; it had a rock that had cracks on it. and a little river that had greenish leaves on it, passing by the grass that had swayed from the bottom and very clear water that had sparkled inside the small current. It wasn't big enough to fit humans. Hiroshi looked at it for a moment, and he turned to Aya. While Hiroshi had softly turned to look and smile quietly at Aya, his eyes were bright with a cheerful smile.
He said, "In the end it's always best to enjoy it." The smile of him in the red house that was a playground was pretty old, like back then when he was a child; they were pretty old memories.
They saw the red line that was there, and Hiroshi said, "Looks like we're on the end of the forest that felt pretty short." They both walked towards the road and turned; they were close to their house. Right before the mother had turned to see them, they didn't see them; they only saw Hiroshi and Aya on the road. They looked at them. His mother dropped her sunglasses in shock. "Huh??" Her eyes were wide from the sight of his girlfriend, who is fake. Aya just tilts her head in confusion. She said, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Takeshi, his older brother, came out of the car only to see him looking at the newspaper and only to look at Aya there, and he quickly put it behind his back. He said, "It's nice to meet you," and then he went there in a quick march just to shake her hand. She just gave him a confused look and tilted her head from him just to shake his hands; it seemed pretty alien to her to do that, so she tried to give him a handshake, but instead he said, "No handshakes." He started scratching his head while Hirosh tried to give a bright, unconfident smile. In this situation, the space grew quiet for some time.
Then Hiroshi had thought of an idea in his mind; he said, "How about we start going now?" His smile was kind and unconfident; his eyes were squinting and nervous, laughing, and staring at everyone while Aya tilted her head, and then Aya said, "Can you bring me a Diamond Man?" Then Hiorshi said, "Okay," trying to hide the fact that she'd been in his room. He said, "She's also a fan of Diamond Man." The mother gave him a side eye, and the brother and the mother said, "Okay." Her voice was skeptical.
The man had found Hiroshi had come from his skin gray; he came in black, his smile was twisted, and his eyes were dark brown and black. He said, "Hiroshi, my target to kill is like the older brother of Kenji. He will suffer even more from this loss from him drowning." He walked away, only for the old man to hear this: his eyes had white liquid water. He said, "That's not going to happen in Watch." While he watched the man in the dark walk away, he said. "Not for the successor." He had just walked to and disappeared like fog coming from him; he walked away.
Meanwhile, Hiroshi thought of someone who had a very inhuman plan going to happen to him, and he thought to himself, "I feel like something bad is going to happen to me," and Aya went into the car quite alert to what might happen to Hiroshi, but his determination to survive on what throne he believed he could make it.
Takeshi had noticed Hiroshi's behavior had changed. He said, "Is there something wrong with you? You look like you're going to have a bad experience." Hiroshi said, "I don't want my family to panic about what might happen." In his head her mother seemed quietly worried; he was always happy when they were camping but not like this.
The Aya saved the day by saying something nice, not keeping the suspicion alive. She believes that "girlfriend" means friend but not actual dating. She said, "I think it's because he's nervous about bringing a friend over." The tension had died down from his family worrying for Hirosh, and then his mother said. "That makes sense since he never had a girlfriend before," she added. Having a girlfriend is much harder than having a brother. And Hiroshi said, "Yeahhh." His voice was nervous on trying to sound natural.
But Takeshi said. "He should learn how relationships work," and added. "People should enjoy their youth." He seemed quite tired and exhausted. Takeshi said, "Besides, I'm not good with girls," and Hiroshi said, "No need to talk yourself down." He gave a smile that was peaceful, and then Takeshi said, "Thanks, Hiroshi, but I don't need your empathy; it's time." He then turned back and arrived, passing the trees and going further.
They both started the grass passing by in quiet silence as they heard the tires "thump-thump" over and over. Hiroshi thought to himself, It makes sense why he goes hard on himself; it's pretty hard to live life, getting rejected from people until you gave up
Hiroshi and Takeshi had moments of quietness; it felt as if they were seeing something they both had seen before, and Hiroshi said, "You still remember what happened to you!" His brother had driven quietly with patience yet was saddened quite a bit. He said, "Yes, I remember that." His voice was quieter this time; the air had grown quiet from the outside. It slowed down as time began too. They began to stare at each other quietly. His eyes looked at the mirror. Quietly Aya began to notice this moment between them. She decided to not intervene in this moment till the end of the moment. Hiroshi began to look back down just to give his brother peace and time.
Hiroshi then said, "Aya, are you okay?" His voice was curious about her. She said, "Yeah, I am." Her voice was quiet; she looked behind the window, seeing nothing but flying birds playing in the nest as they passed by the trees. She was just still confused about why she was there, but with Hiroshi she was okay with it. This was the moment she was waiting for to connect with Hiroshi personally, but as long behalf friends she said, "Hiroshi," and she began to hold his hand.
Quietly she said, "Thank you for being a nice friend. I meant it." she smiled with quiet happiness, and Hiroshi said, "Yeah, you're welcome." he laughed nervously. This is what he thought. It's something that feels weird; I've never felt it before. Is that what i call love?
Hiroshi's mother said, "It seems like they're lovers." Then Takeshi said, "Mom, it's okay; don't ruin their moment," and then his mother said it. "It seems like Hiroshi had a protector," Aya said. "It's just my moment to thank Hiroshi." Her voice was pretty quiet yet soft as a flower. His mother said, "Why is half of your pupils covered in rainbow?" Hiroshi nervously said, "Mom, it's just him cosplaying as a gacha character." His mother said, "Oh, so that's it." She said, "Back in my day when Demon Slayer was out, I thought of it as manga I loved."
Hiroshi said, "Who animated it?" His questions were curious. Aya said, "What's Demon Slayer?" her voice had rung out. His mother said, "It was animated by Ufotable." His brother said, "I watched it; it was a pretty good show to begin with, but I forgot if Nezuko got turned into a demon in the first episode." his mother said, "You're right, Nezuko turned into a demon by muzan and slaughtered Tanjiro's whole family."
When Aya said, "What's anime?" the whole family stopped and stared. Quietly they pulled over by the trees and got out of the car. Both Takeshi and Aya stared into each other's eyes; he said, "It should be a common thing now," but Aya tilted her head. She said, "Where's Diamond Man?" Hiroshi's family had grown suspicious.
