So far, Tobe is preparing to earn Pucca's trust, which may take either days or hours. Tobe thought that he needed to act nice and make a good deal, in which he gives Pucca a reward that Tobe will no longer bother her or Garu. From Garu, well, he has put up the changing screens to divide Y/N and his bed, and he also had painted the changing screens like his walls so his enemies won't notice that Y/N is with him.

When we got in my house, Y/N started checking out my collections and stuff— No one has ever adored anything like that before in my house, which makes me like her more because she's quite different. As Y/N started spreading her pillows and sheets around behind the changing screen, I was getting much more suspicious of something from the outside...

Garu is so awesome! He's got all the beautiful and powerful swords in his collection. I instantly loved his house, but the one thing that has been bothering me is why Garu wanted me to stay behind the painted changing screen. Garu also kept checking outside and I don't know why, but him doing that makes me think that he's aware of something.

About an hour later, me and Y/N had a great time reading books together. Should I trust her with my voice and talk only to her? Of course, I had to admit that she was sweet and appreciates my likings, so I should trust her. Here it goes...

"Y-Y/N?" I stuttered in a raspy, deep voice. "I know t-that you n-never h-heard me t-alk. I'm qu-ite shy and h-hate my v-voice."

"Garu? You talked! Oh my gosh!"

N-no, she doesn't like me anymore...

"Garu..! Don't feel bad about your voice, I like it the way it is— I can teach you if you want." , Y/N offered.

"Alright..", I muttered. She likes the way it is..? Woah, no one ever said that! And her teaching? If that lets me spend more time with her, I'm in.

"Sure.. Y-you can teach me, Y/N..." I mentioned.

"Good thing you have lots of books! You can read aloud to me." she exclaimed. "Also, I'll bring in food and cozy stuff my grandma knit to every time I teach you."

YES!! I'm so happy that I wanted to to hug her, but I think that will make her think I'm weird... I can't bottle up my feelings— Am I falling for her..?

With Tobe and Pucca, Pucca has agreed to follow Tobe's deal and plan. Garu and Y/N went to sleep on the same spot, not finishing their books and had fallen asleep. While Garu was silent and asleep, Tobe quietly stuffed Y/N in a big, camouflage bag. Pucca gave Garu lots of pecks of kisses on his face, which woke up Garu after Tobe and Pucca left to go back to Tobe's place. Will Garu save his first crush, Y/N?
