Chapter 592 - A Nice Date

-----

Harumi heard Frank speak about his family, and she quickly realized how much he was missing them already, and it has only been just less than a day… he was just really dedicated to them, and this realization actually made her realize how much of a great man he was himself…

"You're very dedicated to your family, aren't you? You're thinking of them even in our date!" sighed Harumi.

"Ah…! Sorry, that thought came out without realizing it… I-I am still putting attention to our date." Said Frank.

Harumi didn't said it to make him apologize, so she petted his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it, Frank, I know… I was already talking too much about my family already, it wouldn't be fair for me to judge you about it, right? I was just joking around… In fact, I already know that you got your big family, even then I decided to invite you into a date… Perhaps I was the one that was too bold?" sighed Harumi.

Frank looked at Harumi with contempt, as he waved his head.

"No, Harumi, since we meet that we had a rough start, and I really couldn't get past the anger I felt when you hit me back then, but slowly, I knew you a bit better and grew some interest… But then I was struck by tragedy and had to escape to Terra… But since then that I've changed, but you never really went away from my mind… I am glad I got the chance to know you more, and also your family… Back then I was really scared of the Vampire Family, but then I realized… that they're all just nice people." Said Frank.

Harumi was surprised by Frank's words, he was so honest and cute when he said them, that her heart began to beat faster and faster, her white as porcelain skin turned completely red, as she blushed a bit more, shocking Frank.

"Frank… You always know the perfect things to say, don't you?" she sighed.

"I-I do? I just spoke out my heart… I just said what I thought… It is just… my purest thoughts and emotions." Said Frank.

"You're really a softie…" sighed Harumi.

Frank felt a bit heartbroken to be called a softie…

"I am not really a softie… I am just like that with the people I know and care about… Just because I am honest with my emotions it doesn't mean I can be easily taken advantage of… Even after all the things I've gone through, I believe that losing my emotions would be a big mistake…" said Frank.

Frank got a bit serious of nowhere, his presence was strong, even without him releasing any aura or anything at all, just his natural presence as a human being.

"I-I didn't meant to offend you, Frank… I-I sometimes speak without realizing if those things can be that hurtful… I don't realize it." she said.

"Ah, it didn't really hurt, you don't have to worry, after all, I am not a softie, haha." Laughed Frank rather happily.

"O-Oh… I guess you're right… And well… Let's got for some ice cream then!" said Harumi.

"Sure, let's go." Said Frank, as the two, that were still holding hands, walked into a nearby ice cream store, the one Frank spoke about.

It seemed small and rather inconspicuous; it was named "Terran Ice Cream".

The ice creams in here were all handcrafted and homemade by the sellers, so they were of quite the quality, and had no artificial flavorings either.

There were two types of ice cream, normal milk ice cream, and then yogurt ice cream. The flavors were quite varied, but not so exaggeratedly like those other ice cream stores that sold a billion flavors.

"Oooh, these look tasty… You were right, I can't really find anything suspicious about them…" said Harumi.

"See? The maid café incident was a mistake, but it didn't meant that I don't have my reliable places… This one… I used to come here every day after classes to eat an ice cream in the plaza and relax after all the stress of school…" said Frank.

"Ooh, I see… Then lets buy something! It's on me, you already gave me a lot of money, so let's use it." said Harumi.

"Haha, sure, I don't mind being bought some ice cream, though… you also paid the food back then…" said Frank.

"As I said, I am buying it! That super chat you gave me was really shocking to me… I am still thinking about giving you back the money… but at the very least I could use it to buy you tasty food and make you happy." Said Harumi with a cute smile.

"Harumi… Thanks." Frank said.

The two quickly got themselves some ice cream. Harumi liked yogurt ice cream, so she got three balls with three different flavors, chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio, and Frank decided to go for classic ice cream, his favorite flavors were cookies and cream combined with sweet bean paste, a rather odd combination, but it was what he liked to taste.

The two sat down in the plaza while enjoying the festive atmosphere, the people walking around and celebrating, eating to their heart's content, Frank saw many families going around, even little children enjoying the day with their parents, and he wished that he could have his boy here so he could enjoy the food.

"It's a pretty way to finish the date…" said Harumi.

"You don't mind the noise?" wondered Frank.

"Ah, not really, I am happy with what we got… I am just happy to be with you right now and enjoy this…" said Harumi.

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun as well… Hopefully, we can have another date," said Frank.

"S-Sure! I would… gladly," she said. Harumi suddenly got happy that Frank said it first. She was mustering the resolve to ask him for another date herself.

"A-Ah… I am happy then! Oh, why don't we go around the park there? It still open…" said Frank.

"Hm?! Sure! I didn't thought about it…" said Harumi.

The two slowly finished the ice cream as they began to go around each park attraction and had their fun, although Harumi was way too scared of the roller coaster…
