[DROP] Horimiya: Izuna Miyamura
27. Dating with Shizuku (3/3)

"Miyamura ... Are you sure you want to ride this ride?" Trembling, Shizuku gulps her saliva at the sight of a rollercoaster that moves fast and looks to challenge the adrenaline.

"Sure, why not?"

"But ... What's the name 'Devil train?"

"Haha, isn't that amazing?"

"Absolutely not! That's too much!"

"Okay, don't talk anymore and let's go up!" Izuna without waiting for Shizuku's answer, she immediately pulled her hand and took her away.

Previously, after they bought some clothes, Izuna immediately asked the store to send all the clothes to Shizuku's house, so they did not have to bother carrying a lot of things during their date.

And after leaving the Mall, Izuna invites Shizuku to go to the playground for fun. Shizuku also just nodded and followed Izuna away taking her.

He also had a lot of fun and enjoyed this new experience.

"All right, we're here." Sitting next to each other, Izuna couldn't help but smile thinking about her new experience. But, she was unaware of the change in expression on Shizuku.

Shizuku from earlier trembled in fear when Izuna invited her to ride this ride. But what power, he did not dare to refuse Izuna when he saw that happy face and could only keep his fear in his heart.

Shizuku is actually not too afraid of extreme rides like this Rollercoaster, it's just that, when she rides this vehicle with Izuna, she somehow feels scared and nervous at the same time.

Especially after seeing the rollercoaster track that challenges adrenaline, where the rollercoaster will move at an astonishing high speed.

As the ride began to run, Shizuku who was sitting next to Izuna held tightly to the handle beside her so that she would not be too afraid. But, he knew that it did not reduce his fear at all.

But, he was shocked when he felt a hand holding his shoulder. She turned to look over and realized that Izuna gave her a gentle look while holding her shoulder.

Taking a deep breath, Shizuku calmed herself down and strengthened her resolve.

"Please order." a voice came from one of the restaurant employees who came to Izuna and Shizuku when entering the restaurant where she worked.

Izuna held the menu book in her hand while looking at what menus were available.

After she finds nothing interesting, she simply orders Expresso and then waits for Shizuku to choose.

"Give me whatever drink calms the mind." Shizuku was too pale to choose one of all the menus after she boarded the Rollercoaster with Izuna a while ago.

"You okay, Yaegashi?" Izuna asked worriedly.

"No ... I'm okay ... Maybe ..." Shizuku replied weakly and with her pale skin, there would be no one who would call if she was okay.

"Sorry, I don't know if you're afraid of riding extreme rides ... It's my fault ..." Guiltfully, Izuna lowered her head and apologized to Shizuku.

Shizuku shook her head slowly, sighing, she said, "No, this is not your fault. It's just, I never got on that ride, so I was pretty scared. But now I'm fine, don't worry."

"Stay, as an apology, I'll give you everything I've got to make our date the best."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

Shizuku is a hardworking, kind and caring girl who spends her time practicing swordsmanship.

She is considered a cool and stoic beauty, but actually has a childish side that likes cute things, like pink, as well as cute animals like cats and rabbits.

She often hides her true feelings and will put on a brave face, as a guise so that others don't worry about her.

Shizuku originally did not want to learn swordsmanship and only trained so that she would not betray the expectations of her family and be praised for her talent.

Because of this, she had a degree of dissatisfaction at not being able to act as a normal girl and she was constantly forced to look after others instead of having someone take care of her.

This was also the reason why Shizuku was quite hesitant about wearing the dress Izuna had chosen earlier.

Since his childhood, Shizuku has been very sharp and thoughtful with an excellent understanding of the intricacies and relationships of people.

His kind and loving personality would not let him ignore the surrounding problems that gave him much trouble. He is also very smart and capable enough to process things without much explanation.

Shizuku also has an incredible love for her family and has inseparable family ties with her parents and family who will celebrate wholeheartedly whenever Shizuku achieves something.

Shizuku remembers all the teachings and philosophies of her grandfather and parents, such as treating all the students of the Yaegashi Dojo as adoptive families, never leave them no matter who many problems they cause and how troublesome they are.

Shizuku begins diligently practicing the martial arts and swordsmanship of Yaegashi-ryu solely out of family love and does not want to disappoint her family's expectations.

One of Shizuku's most prominent traits is her loyalty to a friend or person she finds attractive.

She remains as Kouki's childhood friend despite the fact that she wants to break off their relationship due to bullying from other girls who like Kouki.

He also tries to change Kouki from his view of interpreting things according to his own comfort.

Because of his wisdom and emotional intelligence, Shizuku is generally one of the most realistic among his other friends.

Unlike the idealistic Kouki, the optimistic Ryutarou, and the forgetful Kaori, Shizuku usually acts as a quiet voice and caution in her class instead of blindly like Kouki or Ryuutaro.

And again, in fact, Shizuku knows quite well about the world of Otaku.

When Kaori tries to learn about anime and manga to get closer to Hajime, Shizuku is dragged into it by Kaori.

Just like when Izuna met Shizuku and Kaori who were about to buy a manga. Shizuku is then dragged away by Kaori when she hears the latest volume of Hajime's favorite manga release, therefore, she helplessly follows Kaori buying the manga's latest volume. But who would have thought if they even met Izuna on the way away.

For this reason it also makes Shizuku very knowledgeable about the Otaku. He even understands the otaku's greatest weakness: they develop many embarrassing chunni habits that haunt them forever.

And right now, the amazing girl is enjoying her new experience with the man she just met recently.

Make his mind open to the world, and get new experiences that he will never forget.

"Are you enjoying our date today?" Izuna asked.

At the end of the day, the two sat together while enjoying the sunset.

The sky-red color caused by the combination of Rayleigh scattering blue color and the density level of the Earth's atmosphere provides a beautiful sight for the eye to see.

Especially at this time Izuna invites Shizuku to sit on the edge of the lake, while enjoying the sunset.

"Yes. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience" said Shizuku, with her genuine, charming smile.

"Yes, you're welcome." Izuna also smiled at Shizuku, and when Shizuku saw her smile, her face reddened.

Instantly, Shizuku felt embarrassed, and she hid her face with her ponytail which made her look cute.

"Don't look at me, it's embarrassing!" Turning her face away, Shizuku covered her face behind the ponytail.

"Haha, your face is red, Yaegashi-san."

"Don't look at me like that!"

"But your flushed face is funny, so don't hide it."

"H-Stop ...!"
