As according to Soji’s
invitation, we went out on Saturday morning. Walking around the city at a
leisurely pace, I felt at peace for the first time since meeting Soji.
Yuri:
“So, where are we going, Soji?”
Soji:
“You decide.”
Yuri:
“Huh?!”
Soji:
“We came out today for your education.”
Yuri:
“For my education…”
I was disappointed, since I had
come along expecting a date. But then, I felt surprised that I was so worked up
over a date.
Yuri:
(I married him because he threatened me… He said that I would be his slave, so
I thought I was I for some real trouble, but our relationship has been
remarkably normal. I guess that explains how I felt.) “So… What exactly do you
teach a slave…?”
Soji:
“Ah, yes… You should do whatever you think will make me happy, all day today.
Yuri:
“This is quite a conundrum… I don’t know much about you in the first place…”
Soji:
“You can’t do it? Maybe I need to take a more physical approach.”
Yuri:
“No! I’ll do my best!”
I hurried to answer, despite not
having any idea what I should do to make Soji happy.
Yuri:
(Anyway, I had assumed this was a date, so I should try to do something people
would do on a date.) “Then… shall we hold hands?”
Soji:
“What?”
Yuri:
“W-Well… it thought we should act like we’re on a date.”
Soji:
“…Do whatever you want.”
He looked another direction as I
tentatively took his hand.
Yuri:
(His hand is big…) “Hey! Do you like movies?”
Soji:
“I rarely watch movies.”
Yuri:
“Why?”
Soji:
“First of all, I’m a busy man. I don’t really have time to go to the movies.”
Yuri:
“Oh…” (Wait! But he said that he took day off.) “You say you’re always busy,
but you’re spending the entire day with me right?”
Soji:
“Well, when you put it like that… stop letting your imagination run wild.”
Soji suddenly looked away. And I
started to feel a little uncomfortable.
Yuri:
“Are you embarrassed?”
Soji:
“…What are you talking about?”
Yuri:
“Well… I know that my imagination does run wild… But I can’t help but feel like
you’re taking time off to spend with me. That… makes me happy… at least a
little bit…”
Suddenly, I became really
embarrassed and couldn’t continue.
Soji:
“Don’t… be ridiculous. Try to focus a little.”
Yuri:
“Oh, ok… Sorry.” (Huh? Is he blushing?)
Looking up at Soji’s face, I
notice that his cheeks were bright red. I thought about how, just a little
while ago, I was really disappointed.
Soji:
“…What are you looking at?”
Yuri:
“Huh? Nothing.”
Soji’s stern expression forced
me to look away. But then he grabbed my cheeks in his hand and forced me to
look at him.
Yuri:
“Uh…”
Soji:
“I don’t like the way you’re looking at me. I should probably educate you on
your rightful place again before the test.”
Yuri:
“Wait! There are people here…!”
In the middle of the bustling
sidewalk, he kissed me right on my lips. All I could see was his handsome face.
I blushed… I mean, there we were, kissing in front of everyone.
Soji:
“Do I need to give you another lesson?”
Yuri:
“No…”
Soji:
“Good… Now, decide where we’re going. If I don’t like your suggestion, I’ll do
it again.”
He squeezed my shoulder tightly.
Yuri:
“Um, I want to go see a movie!”
Soji:
“Why?”
Yuri:
“Because nothing beats seeing a movie on the big screen! It might give you some
ideas for your business.”
Soji:
“Hm, you think?”
Soji smiled cynically. But we
headed to a nearby movie theater.
Soje decided we were going to
see an inspirational movie about a success story. The main character poured his
heart and soul into making his company better. And in the process, touched the
lives of those around him.
Yuri:
“You sure this one is okay?”
Soji:
“You told me that this movie might give me some ideas for my business. If it’s
as good as the previews, it might just prove to be helpful.”
Yuri:
“I hope so…”
Soji:
“You don’t think so?”
Yuri:
“Oh, I don’t mean that.”
Soji:
“…Then what do you mean?”
Yuri:
“Well…”
I wasn’t really sure how to
answer him, so I just trotted after him. Ignoring the previews appearing
on-screen, we headed towards the seats at the very back.
Soji:
“…So what kind of movie do you usually watch?”
Yuri:
“Hm.”
Soji:
“I don’t really have a lot experience with this sort of thing. If this were a
‘normal’ date, what kind of movie would you go see?”
Yuri:
“Well… let me think…”
Soji:
“What? Speak up.”
Yuri:
“Well, I’ve gone to the movie with friends before. But I’ve never been to a
movie on a date.”
Soji:
“…Really?”
Yuri:
“Nope, never. But I assume most people go to see romance comedies on dates.
Although, I guess it depends on the people too.”
Soji:
“You think?”
Yuri:
“I don’t really know that the movie itself matter. It’s more about being with
someone you like. So I think this movie should be good.”
Soji:
“We’ll see.”
I smiled up at him, but he
quickly turned away. He focused at the movie screen in front of us. I followed
suit.
Yuri:
“So, why did you want to sit in the very back? Don’t you think the middle would
be better?”
Soji:
“Probably.”
Yuri:
“Huh? Then how come you chose these seats?”
Soji:
“You’ll find out if the movie gets boring.”
Soji smiled slightly.
