Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 44 - First Mission

“Yu? What are you thinking? You're acting weird.”

Mei put breakfast in front of me. He asked after seeing me just sitting still and deep in thought.

“Ah. No, I'm just a little dreamy. No need to worry.”

I woke up from my daydream.

“Stop doing that. I've said it no, forget your work when we're having breakfast.”

“Uh, alright.”

I actually wanted to deny Mei's words because that's not what I thought. But I changed my mind. It would be hard to explain why I daydream like this.

“Is there a problem with that cube?”

Maya came to us.

He asked after hearing our conversation. He might be worried about the mysterious cube he gave away.

While it's true that I thought about it, but that's not exactly what made me think up to this.

“Cube?”

Mei doesn't know what we're talking about.

“Before the teacher disappeared, he left a cube-shaped object to me. And I handed it to Riyu yesterday.”

“So it's like that. But, that conversation will be discussed next time, now we have breakfast. You have quite busy activities every day, so breakfast in the morning is very important, otherwise you will faint."

Mei said with a gentle smile. She may look like a good and considerate wife. But she looks a lot like my mom.

“You are getting more and more similar to my mother.”

“Hmp. I'll take it as a compliment.”

“Ya the.”

......................

Mei, May, and Maya eat together in the dining room. Our mood today is different from a few days ago. Maya is back to the way she was, being a big sister and senior in this place., she is not as silent as she was a few days ago.

While having breakfast, we chatted, discussing a few things including recent events, our training, and the school.

“By the way Maya. This week, can we date?”

I said as normally as possible, hiding my nervousness as well so that the atmosphere would not change. But the fact is I was wrong.

“Dating?

“Ehem, like that. You know, to deepen the relationship.”

I thought that this was the right time to finish my mind.

It's true that I daydreamed because I thought of a way to ask her out on a date.

Well, that's not what made me think that way. More precisely this has something to do with my mission.

You can see it for yourself.

[Main Mission: Kissing Maya ]

[ Rank : B+ ]

[ Prize : Opening Light Energy Seals + 100 Experience Points + 10,000 Store Coins ]

[Failure: Cannot Open Light Energy Seal]

Why is there such a mission? I don't know, don't blame me.

I said it once, but I was just kidding. I don't think that I really should kiss Maya to unlock the light energy.

And I protest, kissing Maya is harder than Rank B+. It should be at rank S at least. Sighs.

“It was a good thing Yu. Sister Maya has also been overworked for too long, it would be good to give her a break.”

May's coming to our talks.

As he said, Maya is overworked, she is also training us. It was a good time to ask her out on a date. Of course I will try to find a way to complete my mission.

“Ta-but.”

Oh, Maya's turning cute again.

I was lucky to have seen it a few times. Just imagine a beautiful onee-san and a blushing adult, that is a good thing for the health of my eyes and mind.

“We will only go to a few places together, like shopping maybe. I heard there's a lot of good stuff at the end of Yozora town, let's go there. Let's just say we're just going shopping, don't think too much.”

“Ba-okay.”

Maya finally gave up.

Okay, this is a great start. I want to know what ahem-taste feels like
