A date with Mr. Faith, which began amid unexpected tensions. I am not strangely ashamed to hold hands, and although I walk side by side, there is a little space between me and Mr. Faye.

It just feels like this subtle sense of distance without leaving is another first date, and I'm weirdly aware of it... no, this is my second date with Mr. Faith...

"... Um, Mr. Faye"

"Ugh, yeah! What?"

An initial reaction that feels nervous, this really sucks. Somehow, I feel like tension is getting more and more chained up.

"Uh... where do you want to go?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Actually, I haven't thought about it at all. Well, I don't know, dating means I'm full of heads, and I couldn't afford that..."

Hey, Mr. Faye...... stop blushing your cheeks. I'm going to be bored.

"No, never mind. Well, let's look around without thinking too deeply."

"Yeah. Thanks...... Kai"

……

……

What do we do!? We don't keep talking! It's really too different from the usual Mr. Faith, and I'm thrilled with every trick, and there's a weird time to keep the conversation going.

Yeah, but the longer the silence, the harder it will be to talk, and even a little more forcefully here...

"... oh, uh... it's kind of hot"

"Oh yeah! I think it could be a little cooler in season."

……

……

Trouble. I really don't get the next word out. Oh, is that crazy? Me, I've dated the Clos many times, and I should be able to do a little lead or something... I'm embarrassed and I don't see Mr. Faith's face at all.

Kuck, Ko, don't stay like this... or I feel nervous the other way when I'm out of my sight. All right, let's turn to Mr. Faith in a casual way and talk to the public.

Talk about Alice, a common acquaintance, or whatever it is that has nothing to do with the current situation anyway, and change the air......

"" Huh!?

And me and Mr. Faith turned to each other at the exact same time, and as a result, our eyes were all together, completely stiff.

Oh, shit. Everything I was thinking about, it didn't fly. Uh, what was that? What were you trying to say? Uh, uh...

"... Fe, mr. Faye! of, would you like to buy a drink too!

"Oh, yeah, you are! You're hot and thirsty! Let's do that!

"Well, then, at the store around there!

"Ri, Roger!!

Something's gone wrong with the tension, but it's not a bad situation. Drink a drink and you'll calm down a little, and it'll be more or less a story.

With that in mind, I headed to the stall early on and bought one juice at a time with Mr. Faith. And since it was also an alley to stay standing, he moved to a smaller square that was in the vicinity, sat in line on the bench, and then started drinking.

……

……

Grr, silence again...... Mr. Faith is confused too. I want you to know that I, the man, managed to lead this place. Take a deep breath once... OK.

"... maybe it's because I was pretty thirsty, but it's delicious"

"... yeah"

"I don't know, it's not bad to feel relaxed like this, either"

"... right. Yeah. This kind of thing, maybe."

I tried to calm down and talked to him, and a little calm began to appear in Faith's voice.

In an attempt to relieve each other's tensions with that feeling, at the time of thinking so...... Potturi and Mr. Faith zeroed the words.

"... Kai, I'm sorry"

"Huh? What is it?

"I thought we could go on a proper date some more... me, not at all. I'm fluffy, but I'm restless, and I have no idea what to do. Many times, my head has turned white and I haven't even been able to talk to Locke."

"... Actually, so am I."

"... Kai too?

I felt somewhat at at ease when I saw Mr. Faith speaking with a sorry look on his face. Somehow, I find once again that Mr. Faith felt the same way about me, and I'm horrified.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't talk like I was thinking earlier... I'm in trouble."

"Well, I'm with you"

"Yeah, right."

"... hehe"

"haha"

Face to face with Mr. Faith and smile bitterly. Yeah, right. This is a date, and Alekore, it doesn't make sense where I've been worried all by myself.

They're both in a state where they can't lead well, and you two should think about it while you talk to them.

I stand up with the juice in one hand and smile at Mr. Faye while I realize that the tension has only relaxed a little.

"Mr. Faye, what shall we do next...?

"... the sea, I want to see"

"Well, let's go to the harbor."

"Yeah!"

Mr. Faith takes my word for it too and finally stands up with a smile on his face. There's no rush, there's still plenty of time.

Let's put that idea somewhere in the corner of our minds, like we need to be cool, or we need to lead. Now, best of all, enjoy your date with Mr. Faith.

Dear Mother, Father - I feel nervous, empty, I can't even have a good conversation... but still, that's not bad. Little by little as exploring distances from each other, but still, I do feel like my distance from Mr. Faith - is shrinking.
