CHAPTER - 32: Rain as the meaning of life…

Hiro has been searching for any information about the recently found girl all this time, even with the help of Fi, not a single gram of the necessary data was found. What caused the guy not feeble suspicions about this, there were even thoughts that it was the machinations of God, but were quickly eradicated by himself. If it hadn't been for the heavy blows of rain on the roof of the house, the guy would have continued to search, but since he was distracted, he decided to go and cook something to eat, especially since Alice should come soon.

"I hope she's not mad at me because I snapped at her grandfather!" - remembering this girl, Hiro thought, going down the circular staircase towards the kitchen.

While Hiro was thinking about Alice's current attitude towards him. The girl herself was already heading to his house with Erina, and Momoi was already at home, since they were the first to drop her off at home, after which they drove towards the academy.

- Well, how do you like Momoi? - Alice asked, since Erina was somewhat upset by her appearance between the intention to reconcile.

- Since I wanted to make peace with you, then another person like you will not prevent it. If you describe Momoi, then I was glad to meet her today. And I am also glad to meet Terese, even if our acquaintance did not work out at first! - Erina muttered softly, but because they were sitting next to each other, Alice still heard her words.

- Well, no one is to blame for this except you, but I'm also glad that you are gradually changing for the better, I wonder why you began to try so hard to change yourself? - Alice said in a teasing tone, which enraged Erina, once again today.

In this way, the trip went all the way to Hiro's house, at the moment when it was Alice's turn to get out of the car, she suddenly hugged Erina, and muttered in her ear, - thank you, I didn't think this day would come! – almost crying, the girl said, quickly opening the door, and ran into Hiro's house, leaving her stunned cousin.

Erina did not stay in this position for long, as Alice did not close the car door, and the raindrops woke her from her stupor, so she closed the door and asked to be taken home. The driver of the car immediately began to perform this task.

Although her voice was firm, as usual, but a small trickle of tears flowed down her cheeks, but the smile on her face did not make it clear what kind of mood the girl was in right now.

Alice watched as the car slowly moved off with a slight smile on her face, but tears still flowed down her cheeks, which mixed with raindrops.

Standing on the porch of her friend's house, Alice tried to put herself in order not to give Hiro reasons to worry, since it was not a sad event, rather the opposite – it was the best day of her life and even the rain could not spoil it.

Therefore, wiping her tears, Alice pressed the bell, notifying the guy that she had come. Less than a couple of seconds later, Hiro opened the door, letting Alice into the house, and also giving her a towel to wipe off the moisture on her face. Hiro was not afraid that it might not be Alice, because even if it was some kind of robber, he would not pay attention, but simply knock him out with the help of special magic.

- Good to see you! - Hiro greeted the girl.

- I'm glad too, and also glad that you don't hold a grudge against me that Grandpa was watching your every move! - Alice replied, with a radiant smile that stood out against the cloudy weather outside the window.

- It's not your fault that your grandfather cares so much about you, but if he's really sorry, then so be it. He can't be changed anymore, so I don't see the point in holding a grudge against him, but he wouldn't do it so often! Haha, - the serious topic was softened by his laughter at the end of the words, so Alice realized that he did not hold a grudge against her, but the following words really pleased her hearing, - so, you also excuse me for this, that I'm chasing you, if you want I can stop? - Hiro teased her, but Alice didn't understand it, so she took it for real.

- No, I want..., - suddenly, she realized that she had said something superfluous, after which she added, - ahem, I don't mind that you..., - no matter how much she wanted to say something, it still turned out to be something ambiguous, so taking towel she went to the bathroom to wash, - it doesn't matter, I'm going to wash, I hope you don't mind?

- Did she really just run away like that? - Hiro said softly, smiling.

While Alice was washing, Hiro went to the kitchen to finish cooking dinner, on the way Hiro bought an outfit for Alice in the system store, thanks to a recent shopping trip with Alice, he knew her size.

Going to the bathroom, Hiro called Alice.

- What do you want? – the girl asked in embarrassment, since she had already managed to strip naked.

- I brought you some spare clothes, I'll leave them here on the nightstand so you can take them when you're done! - Hiro put his clothes on the nightstand and headed to the kitchen when he suddenly heard.

- Thank you! – Alice answered just as quietly, not caring at all about where the guy's clothes came from. The girl said it so quietly that, combined with the noise of the water, it was almost inaudible, but thanks to superhuman hearing, Hiro heard her and, smiling, left.

Alice, who was standing in front of the door, noticed that Hiro had already left, as it was too quiet, so after gaining strength, she opened the door and saw a bundle in white and black tones, also looking more closely, she noticed that this set of clothes had white underwear. At first she felt a warmth in her soul, for the fact that the guy took care of her, but noticing this kit, the warmth from the soul passed to the girl's body. That is, now Alice was standing in the middle of the bathroom with a face as red as a tomato, which contrasted especially with her white hair.

Hiro decided not to waste time, since dinner was ready, so the guy went to the girl on the second floor. The girl's condition stabilized, but she was in no hurry to regain consciousness. According to Hiro's rough calculation, the girl should wake up in a couple of days.

After making sure that everything was fine with the girl, Hiro went to the living room to wait for Alice from the bathroom. For one thing, Hiro started playing the game he was going to give to Minako. The game was called GTA:SA, only in a better quality than it was before.

So, when Alice came out of the bathroom with wet hair, wearing a white T-shirt, and black shorts, as well as slippers in the form of cats, she saw Hiro playing games, waiting for her. In addition, her attention was attracted by the fact that various dishes were placed on the kitchen table and the guy was waiting for her.

After a couple of minutes, Hiro noticed that Alice was watching him, waiting for him to finish.

- Oh, Alice, you've already finished, well, how do you like the clothes? Did you make a mistake with the size? - Hiro asked lightly, not hinting at anything, but the girl, hearing this question, blushed a little.

- Everything is just right, but where did you get it from? - Alice asked suspiciously.

- What's the big deal, I bought them..., - Hiro realized that he also fell into Alice's trap, he wanted to run away, just like she did a couple of moments ago, but he didn't have a sufficient reason for this, so he decided to change the subject, which did not escape the girl's sharp eyes, - come on, otherwise the food will get cold!

- Okay, let's go! Hehe!

Speeding up his pace, Hiro quickly headed towards the table, to Alice's quiet chuckles, which were clearly audible to the guy.

The couple sat down at the table, and Hiro started asking Alice how her day had gone.

- You won't believe it, today Erina was not herself ... – with enthusiasm and some nostalgia, Alice began to tell about today's meeting

- Wow, so I have a person who wants to hurt me? - Hiro asked Alice with a laugh, about Momoi's threats in his direction, for conducting a stream, so late.

- I don't know if she was serious, but you should be careful when you first meet her, - sipping Hiro's freshly brewed coffee, as the story about the meeting of friends lasted throughout their entire meal.

- Wow, it sounds scary, will you protect me? - Hiro asked, trembling slightly, causing the girl to laugh.

- You know, you brew coffee no worse than tea, will you share the recipe? I want to try using brewed coffee or tea as a seasoning in molecular cuisine! – Alice suggested her idea, although there was nothing extraordinary about it, but from the moment of the first sip of this drink, this idea has been floating in her head.

- Hmm, great, I'm all for it! - Hiro agreed easily.

- By the way, have you already come up with a punishment for Ryo-kun? - Alice asked, having completely forgotten about it earlier.

- Hmm, I've been thinking about it, but nothing except the condition of becoming my weekly cook. after which he will be free! - Hiro replied monotonously, as he realized that this was serious for them.

- I think it's an interesting idea, but it's too inconvenient for him, respectively, and me, – Alice expressed her opinion, - but it's up to you, of course!

- Well, he'll stay with me for a week or two, ha-ha!

- Okay, but on one condition, if I also pass with him! – the girl blurted out hotly, without thinking at all.

- I do not know, there is no reason to refuse you this! Again, if your grandfather agrees to it! - Hiro will answer.

- You... are at it again! I told you not to tease me!

- Okay, then! - Hiro said with a foxy smile.

- Dinner's over! Are you staying or going home? - Hiro asked as he cleared the dishes off the table.

- What did you forget? - Alice asked, helping the guy with the cleaning.

- Maybe you won't remind me? - Hiro asked, taking the loser's position.

- You said you had a stream today, and you allowed me to attend, did you cancel the stream?

- Not yet, but I'll think about your suggestion to cancel the stream, haha. – I didn't miss the opportunity to tease Hiro's girlfriend.

- Oh, you, – shouted, when suddenly, from nowhere, a frying pan appeared in Alice's hands, seeing this weapon in the hands of his girlfriend, Hiro, who has a body that will not break through and a nuclear bomb, for some reason was scared, so, not seeing a way out, Hiro just decided to run away, - well, wait, where did you run to, haha!

Because of the endurance, which exceeds human capabilities by several dozen times, Hiro still managed to escape from Alice, but for how long, that's another question, - well hu ..., Hiro you won hu..., I admit defeat…

- Not for long, you've had enough! Ha-ha, - Hiro sneered, - okay, I declare a truce! The time for the start of the stream is coming soon! - Hiro gave up.

- For the first time, I forgive you, - Alice also quipped, this act caused a violent fit of laughter from both, - haha, all in the name of popularity, and what are you going to do on this live broadcast at all.

- Good question, apart from drawing a few games, I still haven't figured out what to do next! - Hiro replied sadly.

- Yes, you have a tight imagination, how could you create some dishes at all? Well, come on, the great me will help you with the script for this live broadcast, when does it start?

- Oh, in about 20 minutes ... - Hiro replied impressively, but soon regretted it.

- What!? Couldn't you take care of it before? - Alice suddenly cried out.

- Well, I said I couldn't. Besides, half a day was spent on this! – Hiro lied, because he could not say that he had been walking all day.

- I'll believe you ..., - Alice said in a threateningly quiet voice, - well, let's go to the room where you will conduct a live broadcast!

Hiro decided to silently go to this room, as he did not want to annoy Alice once again. The room was on the top floor, opposite the master bedroom. At the entrance there is a view of a neat room, in the center of which there is a computer desk, as well as a computer, but unusual, but holographic, disguised as usual.

After a couple of minutes of preparing the workplace, they were ready for the start of the live broadcast.
