I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

"so……"

"What does dating have to do with cat ears?"

The location is in a dessert shop on Cake Island.

Uchiha Hikaru sat at the table, watching Esdeath place a cup of freshly prepared strawberry smoothie in front of him. The cat ears on both sides of his head moved, and his expression looked a little unnatural.

Well, adhering to the principle of accepting defeat, she accepted the date proposed by Esdeath and set the location nearby at Cake Island.

——This is one of the most prosperous places in the pirate world. There are all kinds of desserts, cold drinks, and clothing stores on the island. You can see the sea view in the distance while walking on the road. And because the entire Wan Guo Sea has been frozen by Esdeath, no matter what you do here, no one will disturb you. It is really suitable for enjoying a world for two people...

only……

Esdeath seemed to have some obsession with cat ears and insisted on making Uchiha Hikari appear in the form of a cat-eared girl, which made her a little helpless.

"Well, after all, this is the cutest way to look at."

Esdeath said as a matter of course.

At this moment, she also sat down at the table with a cup of smoothie. She snapped her fingers casually, and the air above the two cups of smoothies suddenly cooled down, making the cream a little tighter.

It is quite creative to use the power of "Essence of Demon" in such a place.

"Try it."

Esdeath raised her chin. "When I was in the Empire, I learned some techniques for mixing desserts. I haven't used them for a long time, so I don't know if they are still there... This place called 'World Country' is quite interesting. Even the walls of the houses are made of various desserts. It's very convenient to mix them."

"really."

If we only make a horizontal comparison with the pirate world, Big Mom's Bankois actually has a relatively high standard of living. Although their lifespans will be periodically drawn out, at least they can stay alive... However, if they live here for a long time, the most obvious disadvantage is that they will be more likely to get diabetes.

Uchiha Guang scooped a piece of shaved ice with a spoon and put it into his mouth. The moment his tongue touched the crushed ice, his eyes widened slightly.

This taste...

It’s unexpectedly delicious?

"How about it?"

Esdeath sat opposite with her chin supported by one hand, looking over here with interest, as if she was looking forward to her feedback.

"Hmm...it's delicious, don't you want to try it yourself?"

Uchiha Hikaru scooped two more spoonfuls, and after eating them, she looked up and found that Esdeath had been staring at her. Then she suddenly reached out her hand, put her fingertips to the corner of her mouth, scraped off a small ball of cream stuck there, and then naturally put it into her mouth.

"Wait, that is..."

Uchiha Guang opened his mouth and stared at the scene in amazement, and for a moment he didn't have time to stop it.

Esdeath on the other side had already swallowed the cream, then stretched out her rosy tongue to lick it gently, then pursed her lips and smiled: "Mm, it is indeed sweet."

"..."

no……

Why are you so skilled?

Uchiha Hikaru admitted that she didn't have much experience in relationships, but at least she lived in the information explosion era in her previous life, so she had a lot of experience. But she never dreamed that one day she would become the object of someone's flirting.

This sudden intimate gesture really made her heart beat faster.

But, it's also a bit strange...

——Esdeath, when did you learn these moves?

Could it be that after buying a mobile phone in the world of magic, he found the learning materials on the Internet and then studied secretly?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Esdeath was slightly startled by Uchiha Hikaru's suspicious look, but then she laughed again: "Didn't we agree that I will be in charge of all arrangements for this date? You're not going to go back on your word, are you? Well, eat quickly, or it won't taste good if it melts."

As she said this, Esdeath pushed the cup of smoothie in front of her over as well.

Uchiha Hikaru accepted all offers, and while holding a shaved ice in his mouth and waiting for it to melt, he said vaguely, "What are the arrangements for later?"

"Hmm... there seem to be a few clothing stores over there. After you finish eating your smoothie, go over and pick out some clothes. You look more suitable for wearing cuter clothes now."

Esdeath looked at the cat ears on both sides of Uchiha Guang's head and said with a smile.

"……Fine."

At this point, Uchiha Guang was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Anyway, this date was initiated by Esdeath, and since the latter had already made a plan, there was no need for her to ask any more questions and just listen to the other party's arrangements. She had been running around for Yamato, Ace, Whitebeard and others recently, and now it was really time to let go and relax.

I finished my smoothie leisurely.

Afterwards, the two got up and left the dessert shop, walked a short distance hand in hand, came to the clothing store, and started trying on clothes.

There are quite a lot of clothing styles in the world of One Piece, and many of the combinations are quite trendy. Even if they are placed in the neighboring world of Dragon Clan or Jutsu, they do not look out of place at all.

Just ...

Clothing sizes are generally larger, and more than half of them are designed for people over two meters tall, leaving very few for people of normal body shapes.

Esdeath chose a gorgeous dress. Um... pink.

Even though he was mentally prepared beforehand, when he saw this set of clothes, Uchiha Hikaru still twitched the corner of his mouth unconsciously: "Are you sure you want to try this one? I don't mind, but this color... you probably don't like it, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. If you were wearing it, Xiao Guang, I would be very interested in seeing it no matter what color it was."

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at Esdeath, then turned and walked into the fitting room under the latter's interested gaze.

Two minutes later.

Uchiha Hikaru opened the door of the fitting room and waved outside: "Xiao Ai, come over and help me."

"Ok?"

"This skirt...is a little uncomfortable to wear."

The space in the fitting room is not very large.

When Uchiha Hikaru stood in it alone, it was quite spacious, but when Esdeath squeezed in, it immediately seemed cramped. After a brief explanation, Uchiha Hikaru stood in front of the fitting mirror holding up the skirt she had just put on, and felt a few cold fingers falling on her back. Her body stiffened unconsciously, and a few drops of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose.

"Is it hot?"

Esdeath said softly.

"……A little."

"Then I'll go a little faster. Please be patient."

Having said that, Esdeath obviously didn't know much about this kind of dress. As a former general of the Empire, she wore military uniforms the most, and was not familiar with this kind of cute dress. So, after fumbling around for a while, she finally figured out how to wear this dress, then zipped it up from the back and tidied up the fabric next to it.

"All right."

As Esdeath spoke, Uchiha Guang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to push the door open to go out, but was called by the other party again.

Then, Esdeath was seen bending down, with her hands naturally reaching to both sides of her shoulders, pulling open and smoothing the wrinkles at the neckline.

Compared with the previous one, this action seemed much more gentle, with a hint of a wife tidying up her husband's clothes.

soon.

The wrinkles on the collar were neatly gathered.

But Esdeath did not stand up directly, but kept her hands on her shoulders, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Uchiha Hikaru with her ice-blue eyes. Uchiha Hikaru was also looking at her.

Eyes facing each other.

The air around them seemed to become quiet. In the small space, only the breathing and heartbeats of both parties could be clearly heard.

It was hard to tell who made the first move, but their faces gradually came closer, close enough that they could see each other's eyelashes clearly and smell the faint fragrance in the air.

"Speaking of which..."

Esdeath sighed softly: "This kind of thing can be considered part of a date, right?"

Uchiha Hikaru's heart moved: "You mean..."

no respond.

There was just a cool and soft touch that suddenly fell on the lips, causing Uchiha Guang to open his eyes instantly, and then gently closed them again.

A gentle breeze blew.

A charming atmosphere spreads in this small space.

a long time.

The two sides separated again. Esdeath took a half step back, looked at Uchiha Guang's radiant face and the outfit he was wearing, and nodded slightly: "It looks good. Let's go out and take a few photos as a souvenir, and then try other things?"

"……it is good."

……

That afternoon.

Together, Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath visited almost all the shops, big and small, on Cake Island. Then, near dusk, they came to the beach, where they caught a few sea fish. Esdeath scaled them and put them on the bonfire. Then the two of them sat snuggling by the sea, eating grilled fish while watching the sun set and the bright moon in the sky.

"It's been a whole day. Time has passed pretty quickly."

Uchiha Hikaru looked up at the full moon for a while, then looked at Esdeath and said softly: "Is this date over?"

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be calculated by time?"

Esdeath raised her eyebrows, then smiled again: "But it's really late now. If you're sleepy, go to bed first... I had a very happy day today, you should be the same, right?"

"……Um."

Uchiha Hikaru stretched, stood up, washed up hastily, and returned to where he was just now. He sat down next to Esdeath with his back to back, and rested his head on the other's shoulder: "Well... good night, Xiao Ai."

Esdeath's shoulders stiffened slightly, then softened, and she relaxed her body, then exhaled softly:

"Goodnight, Light."
