Love.

One of the many things that were not taught in the White Room. One of the reasons that I even decided to come to Advanced Nurturing High School, and one of the reasons I wanted to try to fall in love with Karuizawa Kei.

I can't understand this phenomenon that is known as love, so in an attempt to better grasp at what it truly is, I, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, have now decided to go on a date with my girlfriend, Kei at Keyaki Mall.

After having the cheeky underclass man of Amasawa intrude on our indoor date, I had wanted to resume breaking the invisible wall that was placed between Kei and I. So in an attempt to deepen our bond and maybe even have a little bit of enjoyment over the weekend seeing as today was Friday. So, I decided to ask Kei out on a date.

I was by no means an expert at this kind of stuff, but that was the whole reason of leaving the White Room anyways, so in an attempt to make things go as smoothly as possible, I decided to google it. After 15 or so minutes of browsing and reading, I felt that I was ready, so I texted Kei.

[Do you have any plans for tomorrow?] (Kiyotaka)

[Not really, why?] (Kei)

[I wanted to go on a date with you] (Kiyotaka)

[Alright, I'll make time for you in my busy schedule to go on a date with you, seeing how lonely you are without me] (Kei)

[But didn't you just say that you didn't have plans?] (Kiyotaka)

[Be quiet... don't point that kind of stuff out to a girl] (Kei)

[Alright, whatever you say. But where do you want to meet up?] (Kiyotaka)

[You haven't decided?! You asked me out and you don't even know what to do?!] (Kei)

[My bad] (Kiyotaka)

[Fine... since it'll be our first date outside of your room lets make it simple and go to Keyaki Mall. Does 2:30pm work for you?] (Kei)

[Sounds good to me] (Kiyotaka)

After the conversation with Kei, all that's left is to wait until the day of the date, but there was an urgent problem.

I have no idea what to wear.

In an attempt to not have Kei yell at me, I asked Haruka to help me get a suitable outfit. She was suspicious but after I told her that it was just to buy casual clothes to wear while meeting the Ayanokouji group in the future, she accepted without questioning me.

After picking some nice clothes for the date, I thanked Haruka and went back to the dorms to wait for the next day

It's now 2:20, 10 minutes before the appointed time of the date. I had read online that it was common courtesy for the person who asked the other out to arrive early, but who knew that Kei would arrive even earlier than that.

"Hey, you're early." (Kei)

"I could say the same to you, you were here way before me, weren't you?" (Kiyotaka)

"I-It's not like I was excited or anything..." (Kei)

"Sure sure, whatever you say Kei" (Kiyotaka)

"I-I'm serious you know! I'm Karuizawa Kei, the gyaru leader of the girls in class D! There's no way I would be excited over a little date! I have plenty of experience with things like this you know!" (Kei)

"Of course. That's why I hope that you will sufficiently lead the both of us to a successful date, Kei" (Kiyotaka)

"O-of course I will! Since you're so helpless when it comes to love...idiot..." (Kei)
