Chapter 52: I accepted a date
Haru quickly accepted Kaede’s request, but he had not understood exactly what it was. He was hungry and agreed to go out with her, but he did not know that it was a date, nor that he would have to pay for the food.
Mio kept looking at Haru. She felt a little jealous, but managed to contain herself. He had not noticed, but Hina and Masaru did. Masaru was surprised by this, since Mio had never been a woman who cared about these things. She felt something for Haru.
Hina was not jealous, she had always been very open about relationships. She only felt jealous once, on the day her brother got a girlfriend much prettier than her and stopped having sex with her. To Hina, that was a betrayal, since it was the older sister’s duty to educate her younger brother.
Hina knew how to take care of her brothers, she had always been very attentive to their male desires. She learned all of this from her mother, who was a woman with a practically infinite sexual desire. Her ability was based on sexual desire, the more satisfied she was, the stronger she became. Because of this, she always used internal vibrators and turned them on while using her abilities, the internal movements caused a pleasurable sensation that she enjoyed, while at the same time her ability became strong enough to heal any injury. The members of her team knew about this detail, but they always hid it from everyone else.
Hina’s father was constantly receiving healing magic, he needed to spend many hours of the day making repetitive movements with his spine. He was a happy man, even with all the pain he felt.
Haru and Kaede went to a restaurant near the guild. She was wearing something different from usual, the blue dress matched her pale skin, underneath she was wearing nothing, the tight fabric had no visible outline of panties or a bra.
Haru was wearing the same clothes as always, he always seemed as if he only had that one outfit, but that was not the case, he was just very indecisive when buying clothes and always wore the same black pants, a white shirt with no print, and a black jacket, it was better to stick with the style he already knew. He did not seem to fit in with that place, but Kaede did not care about that, she knew he had a lot of money and showing it would not be interesting or necessary.
"What do you do in your free time?" Kaede asked.
Haru was terrible at conversations.
"I study and sometimes watch some games."
He lied, he hated studying and at that moment he was only studying because Hina had asked him to.
"What games do you watch?"
"Sometimes I watch soccer, but I prefer watching volleyball."
He was not lying, he did in fact watch those sports. But he did not say that he only watched women’s volleyball and women’s beach volleyball. He liked watching women wearing shorts that showed part of their buttocks and then watching them jump, the sweat running down their bodies and their sweaty buttocks moving was something he liked to see. Besides that, the close-ups the camera made highlighted female beauty, seeing their buttocks in high definition on a giant screen was something he could not help watching.
Beach volleyball was equally interesting, but the women who usually played were less beautiful and fewer in number. Besides having smaller buttocks. But their bodies covered in sand could also make him hard.
He sometimes watched other sports, such as pole vaulting and anything else that involved a woman showing her body, he would always binge-watch several videos with cuts focused on showing and sexualizing the female body in a disgusting way, but it felt good.
Women being shown in several suggestive positions.
Once, he spent an entire season following women’s sports and his wrist became very sore.
"You should ask me something, don’t you have any curiosity about me?"
"Yes, I do, how can you be so strong and only have an office job?"
"Wow, that’s a complicated question. I used to be part of a group and almost joined the imperial army, but it was not something I liked or wanted. I prefer administrative work over going into combat. That day I just wanted to do someone a favor, but it’s not something I want to do as a profession again.
Fighting is exhausting and often only causes injuries and pain, the money is interesting, but it is not worth the risk of losing your own life."
"I understand that, I used to think that way too, I’m terrible at other jobs and I’m not good at anything else, not that I’m good at fighting, I’m terrible. My movements are slow, my aim is pretty good, but I think I would lose in a duel."
"But you always managed to get many slime kills, even though they are weak monsters, slimes are not necessarily easy to kill."
"That may be true, but in combat, the opponent’s strength would be different from that of a slime. Now tell me, why do you hate me?"
A waiter appeared and took both of their orders. Haru looked at the prices, he did not want to spend that much, at first he thought she would pay for everything, but then he remembered what his mother had once said, a man should always pay for a woman’s food.
He chose an expensive dish and let Kaede choose whatever she wanted, he would not be stingy, since she knew he had money. To drink, he chose a juice and Kaede went with an expensive wine. She did not worry about saving Haru’s money, even though she was the one who had invited him.
"I don’t hate you, I mean, it’s difficult to explain this, but you cross the line. You could be a little more restrained, for example, you always stare at women and never hide it, there are ways to do that without being considered a pervert. Besides, you have many complaints from other women, but since you were an active member who had been there for years, we all ignored some complaints, and there was also the fact that you had never sexually assaulted any woman."
Haru did not respond, he felt bad hearing that.
"I didn’t mean to say that to make you feel bad or anything like that, I just answered why I looked at you differently. But I understand your side, being a virgin at your age must be complicated."
"But I’m not a virgin."
Kaede remained silent for several long seconds.
"Then why do you act like you’re a virgin?"
"I don’t know, I just act normally, I don’t do anything different."
"You do, you act like a teenager going through puberty."
"I’ll try to change," he felt offended, but he was used to that treatment, Hina and Mio were always repeating the same things. Little by little, he was trying to reconsider what he did differently.
"But let’s change the subject, don’t think I despise you, over time I noticed that you’re not a monster and you don’t do these things to hurt people, so consider that I won’t look at you strangely anymore or make judgments with my eyes," she said, giving a little smile.
The food arrived, it was very different from the food Haru was used to, the food smelled good and the presentation was very beautiful. It lived up to the price.
The waiter also started treating Haru differently after the order.
"Why does he seem friendlier now?"
"I think before he thought you were a poor man who would order the cheapest food and still complain about the price and quantity."
"But what does that have to do with it?"
"It’s because the tip is based on the price of the food."
’A tip? Will I have to spend even more money here?’ Haru wondered, almost having a breakdown.
