Chapter 115

Right now, I am on my way to Ruri's house in Tokyo. Incidentally, I'm going there by car with Jii as the driver. Although Natsuki-chan already ordered Jii to help Kuro if he ever needs one, except seeking advice, Kuro only asks for Jii's help sometimes. Thus, Jii was relatively free.

Needless to say, as promised Kuro who has graduated from Tokyo University this spring immediately started to manage the hospital that I built. He also brought plenty of either experienced doctors who believed in Kuro's skills and his friends in college that he thinks to have the talent to become a doctor.

Fortunately, even though some of those experienced doctors were quite hard-headed, they have seen Kuro's skill with their eyes. Thus, even they could only admit that Kuro's skill in surgery was second to none even in his age.

At any rate, without realizing the car has arrived at the address Ruri told me. I opened the car door and went out of the car. In front of me, there is a humble old house with 'Gokou' nametag placed on the wall in front of the house.

I took my phone and line Ruri saying I have arrived and right now standing in front of her house. She answered with a 'Roger that!' sticker and not long after that sounds of footsteps can be heard from inside the house.

The door slid from inside revealing Ruri who wears a full sleeveless dress with the front of her skirt opened revealing legs. In addition, she also has a small pair of angel wings on her back. She also wears a yellow contact lens only on her right eye.

It was quite similar to her usual black gothic lolita style outfit but this one has cute images with its exact different color. I thought the color black would be suited for her because the rest of my guild members and I only ever saw her in that color. But it seems white suits her too.

Although I think wearing that kind of outfit will make her really stand out, I guess it's normal in the place we were going to. Well, not that I mind as long as she is happy, though. Besides, she looks cute in that outfit. And this wasn't my first time being in the center of attention anyway.

"Izumi-san...You're staring too much..." Ruri lowered her head and said with her cheeks flushed in shyness.

"Ups, my bad. You look very cute in that outfit, Ruri." I smiled and said.

"Thanks..." Ruri smiled and said.

"So, does this outfit have different role play than the previous one?" I curiously asked.

"Fufufu, good question, Izumi-san. If previously I was called Kuroneko, right now I am Holy Angel Kamineko!" Ruri excitedly said.

"I see, that explains the wings." I nodded and said.

"Yes! Initially, the wings were bigger than this. But because an unfortunate incident happens, I ended up using this one." Ruri calmly said but her voice sounds irritated.

"I see...At any rate, are-" I was going to ask if she was ready to go but a little girl suddenly came and hugs Ruri from behind.

"Tamaki?! I thought you were still sleeping." Ruri said.

"Are you nee-sama's boyfriend?" The little girl, Tamaki asked with an innocent smile while hilding behind her sister.

"T-Tamaki?! W-w-what are you saying?" Ruri said in a panic.

"What do you think?" I smiled and said as I patted her head.

"Hehehe..." Tamaki didn't answer and just giggled happily. Seems like she really likes being patted.

"Hinata, come here. Let's not disturb Ruri-nee, right now." Another little girl came and said while showing only her head from the door of a room near the entrance.

"Okay! Bye-bye, Nii-sama!" Tamaki had said with a smile before she went to her other sister.

"Well, have fun, Ruri-nee." The other little girl said with a smirk.

"Hinata... Seems like we need to talk for a bit when I got home..." Ruri angrily said but her cheek was rosy.

"Hii! I'm sorry Ruri-nee! Let's go, Tamaki!" Hinata hurriedly said and went inside the room.

"Hehe, you sure are loved by your little sisters." I smilingly said.

"One of them just like making fun of me, though. I will surely punish her later." Although she said that, her mouth was smiling as she looks at the directions of her sisters.

"Hehehe. At any rate, are you ready?" I chuckled and asked.

"Yes, let's go Izumi-san." Ruri nodded and said with a smile.

Although I have come here with Ayase last year, I'm still amazed by the crowd of people who lined up just to enter the comic market.

Fortunately, we came here quite early, so I don't think we need to wait that long. However, it still took half an hour for us to enter the Tokyo Big Sight, the venue of Comic Market.

"What's up, Ruri?" I curiously asked Ruri who has been fidgeting while glancing at me with reddened cheek the whole time since she accidentally saw a couple holding hands.

"I-it's nothing..." Ruri averted her eyes and said.

"Heee... Anyway, let's go." I smirked and said before I gently held her hand before continue walking. Ruri was surprised when I held her hand, but she didn't say anything and just let me hold her hand with a shy yet happy smile on her face.

Obviously, although this is the first time for Ruri, we got another 'Riajuu should explode' reactions from our surroundings. Ruri's face blushed heavily when she heard their reactions.

"Hehe is the queen of darkness- No, is the Holy Angel Kamineko shy right now?" I said with a teasing smile.

"...O-of course not. T-there is no way this Holy Angel shy just because of holding hands!" Ruri answered, but her face still flushed from shyness.

"Good, then let's hold hand this whole time," I smirked and said.

"EH? I mean, i-if it's fated. I-I shall connect my hand with thou..." Ruri was surprised when she heard what I said, but she soon replied to it with chuunibyou lines to hide her embarrassment.

"Then, I will gladly give you all my soul for this contract, oh Holy Angel." I tried to answer with chuunibyou lines that match with hers.

"Pfff...Hahahahaha. It doesn't suit you, Izumi-san." Ruri laughed and said when she heard my lines.

"Of course I know. But, it is worked to make you more comfortable." I smilingly said.

"...That's true," Ruri said with a smile.

"Well, shall we go?" I said.

"Nn!"

We strolled through the doujinshi marketplace to see various doujinshi being sold. Naturally, Ruri bought some of Maschera Doujinshi as a Hard Fan of that series. Needless to say, she didn't buy 18+ doujinshi.

Still, of course, we ended up seeing some of them which made Ruri embarrassedly lowered her head. We even found boys x boys doujinshi corner. Fortunately, Ruri didn't really like that kind of genre. So, I didn't need to accompany her to buy one.

We also saw many famous cosplayers in the cosplayer center. We even took some photos with girls who cosplayed as Queen of Darkness from Maschera with Ruri matched her pose with some of them. Like that, we continue to go around the comic market while holding hands.

Currently, we're sitting on the bench in a park near Ruri's house after we finished having fun in Comic Market.

"Although I am happy you invited me, I am curious why you didn't go to the comic market with your usual circle?" I asked Ruri who sit beside me.

"...I guess it is fine to tell you because you are one of her friends. It's actually not that big of a problem. Or maybe it's quite big? Anyway, it's because of a relationship problem between Kousaka siblings." Ruri said after thinking for a bit.

'Looks like Ayase hasn't known this yet. I guess I will tell her when I got back.'

"...It's relationship problem after all... Moreover between siblings." I was only surprised a bit but soon returned to my usual expression and said.

"Yes, I'm actually surprised you aren't disgusted by that." Ruri amazedly said.

"Although I am quite surprised, it wasn't to the point I am disgusted by that. I know this is quite naive, but I do believe in the phrase 'Love is blind.' People can fall in love with someone younger or older than them, the same gender as them, or in this case even someone blood-related." I explained.

"Hehe, it's very like you, Izumi-san." Ruri giggled and said.

"I know, right?" I answered with a smile.

"Honestly, neither Saori-san nor I disgusted by that too. Well, Kirino-san and Kousaka-san haven't told us about their feelings for each other, though. But it's very obvious in our eyes.

At any rate, since came back from America, Kirino's attitude toward her brother was different. She became more distant from her brother. I guess she wanted to try distancing herself before she can't turn back. And it caused the atmosphere to become awkward." Ruri shakes her head and said.

"Ah, a typical problem in a circle, huh," I said.

"Yes, what do you think I should do, Izumi-san?" Ruri asked.

"Well, I don't think we can't do anything in this case because it would be too irresponsible if we casually support them when neither of them readies to face society.

That's why, for now, you just need to wait. Because I am sure they will definitely come to conclusion. And at that time, it's your job as a friend to help whatever they decided. Besides, I have a feeling I will end up helping too." I said after thinking for a bit.

"Hehe...that's true. Thank you, Izumi-san. I am glad you are here with me." Ruri said with a beaming smile.

"You are welcome. And one last question. Did you have fun today?" I asked with a smile.

"Nn!" Ruri nodded happily.

"Then, we should go somewhere together again sometime." I smilingly said.

"Yes! I will be looking forward to that time!" Ruri said with a beaming smile.
