Date

If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.

========

Kazuya is in his room currently feeling a bit bored, a few days passed since he joined Ratatoskr.

"System what's the new function?"

[It's the Training Space host]

Kazuya was interested, "What does the new function do?"

[It's a space that has a time dilation of 5:1, an hour outside is 5 hours inside but the host needs to pay 10 DC per hour outside.]

Kazuya was pleasantly surprised, with this he can train faster and grow stronger. Especially now that he knows he will travel to different worlds for a quest.

He needs to be stronger as some worlds are dangerous. "Then system, can I bring people from another world to my world? And also can I go back here or any worlds I will travel to?"This has been in his mind since he arrived.

[...Yes, host, you can bring people back to your world but for 500 DC per person. Host can bring back one person for free as a gift. Also, you can go back anytime with DC as the price of course. Host needs to pay 50 DC per day 3 days, 100 DC for a week, if the host wants to go back in the world you visited]

"Damn, that's expensive. I only get little amounts of DC in my quests" He cursed out loud before calming down. "Hmm, I don't have anything to do might as well invite Kurumi"

He took his cellphone out and dialed a number, soon a familiar voice was heard.

(AN: Don't ask why Kurumi has a cellphone)

"Hello, Kazuya?" Kurumi asked since Kazuya was her only contact.

"Oh hey, Kurumi are you free tomorrow? Want to go out for a bit?" He casually asked, after his transmigration, he also slowly changed. Previously before transmigration, he was a lonely person, introverted but now he was outgoing and became quite confident.

Kurumi was surprised before smiling, "Are you asking me on a date?" She asked playfully though inside she wished for it subconsciously.

Even though they only met a few weeks ago the two quickly became close. For Kurumi, it was the first time a guy invited her and said guy didn't look at her lustfully like others she met.

"Yes, of course, it's a date then! So do you agree?"

"Of course, then let's meet tomorrow at the usual place"

"Ok see you tomorrow" He smiled happily and then ended the call.

Meanwhile, Kurumi was currently on top of a rooftop also smiled. She became happy and quickly she left the rooftop. She needs to prepare for tomorrow.

The next day, after Kazuya changed into his casual clothes he went out of his house. Currently, he wore a white buttoned-up shirt and tight-fitting black pants with shoes.

He also wore a watch on his left wrist, he has a refreshing aura on him. He was smiling happily while walking to their destination.

Soon he arrived at the place of meeting, aka the front of the maid cafe. There he saw Kurumi wearing a red turtle neck top and black jeans with black boots.

He was mesmerized seeing her beauty. Of course, Kurumi also attracted attention but she ignored them and walked towards Kazuya with a smile.

She smiled towards Kazuya, "What do you think?"

He got out of his dazed, "You look beautiful as always. Where should we go first?" he smiled back at her.

"You decide"

Kazuya nodded, "Okay, then let's go to an amusement park first" After he said that Kurumi linked her arms with Kazuya surprising the latter.

He turned to her but saw a small blush on her face. "Then let's go" He smiled and the two got a taxi to go to the amusement park.

When they arrived, Kazuya sighed. Kurumi noticed that and asked, "Why did you sigh?"

Kazuya shook his head and smiled, "It's just me feeling nostalgic. It's been years since I last went to an amusement park"

"Well here we are"

He nodded, "Well let's try some rides"

The first thing they tried is the rollercoaster. Kazuya felt a little nervous but also excited. It started slowly as it ascended and when they reach the peak, the ride descended suddenly.

"Woohoo!" Kazuya's nervousness disappeared and was replaced with excitement. Kurumi stared at him enjoying and smiling. She can't enjoy the ride as she did activities that are much more thrilling.

But she did have fun since she was with Kazuya. She felt close to him, and she was happy overall.

After the ride, they bought ice cream at a stand. Kazuya had chocolate flavored one while Kurumi had vanilla.

They sat down at one of the benches on the side. After that, they did various activities. At last, Kazuya won a plushie from a shooting game which he gave Kurumi.

She hugged the bear plushie and smiled, "Thank you" At that moment she was like a normal teenage girl.

She was different than usual, you wouldn't think that she already killed people. Her smile was so pure that it dazed Kazuya again. His heartbeat fastened for a reason he didn't know.

After he got out of his daze he suddenly thought of something. He stared at her with serious eyes, "Kurumi do you want to go with me?"

She was confused, "What do you mean?"

He sighed, "Let me explain first, let's go to a place with no people"

She nodded as she trusted him. Soon they found themselves at a corner of the amusement park with no people.

"I..."
