"It's impossible, Kafka...I'm someone who couldn't even make a single clay animal in art class when I was asked in sixth grade and was laughed at by my classmates for making some sort of ugly alien blob that I called an elephant in the end. So, I really doubt if I have the abilities to fix something as complicated as an actual working machine."
Nina thought of the matter that had occurred in the past, which became a bad memory that actually made her give up on trying to become like her father because of the embarrassment she felt at that moment, which made her accept that she wasn't talented in that aspect and let out a wry smile.
Nina was against my idea because she didn't want to repeat the past and embarrass herself in front of me once again, like she did in front of her classmates.
But I wasn't going to let her give in so easily, as it seemed like something that would greatly lift her spirits if she actually accomplished it at the end of the day, which was something that I wanted to do for Nina, who was slowly growing closer to my heart, with absolutely no other intentions in mind other than lifting her up to places she had never reached before.
"Forget about what happened in the past, Nina, as no one was there to guide you at that time." I said as I went forward and held onto both of Nina's hands, which made her look up at me in a rather coy manner with how lovingly I was holding her.
"This time you have someone by your side to guide you and slowly teach you all you need to know to achieve something that you've always wanted to do yourself."
"...And trust me when I say that by the end of the day, you'll know how to fix the problem all by yourself without even needing my help if it were to ever happen again, and you won't ever catch yourself doubting your own abilities ever again."
I said as I held her hands and wrapped them around her back, like she was getting her hands cuffed. I then pulled her in closer to me until both of our foreheads were bumping into one another, and we were left staring into one another's eyes as if time had stopped around us.
"A-Are you sure, Kafka?" Nina asked as she shyly looked up at me, who was breathing down her, and felt the stiffness of my body press against her soft figure. "Are you sure that you can teach me how to fix the broken vending machine, just like my father would have done in the past?"
I didn't want to play with the innocent little Nina, who looked like she was going to explode with how embarrassed she was at the moment, and I gave her a little peck on the forehead before letting her free like a little bird that was trapped in a cage.

Nina didn't look up at me even after receiving a kiss on her face, which felt steaming hot when my lips were pressed against her jade-like skin, and she slowly walked towards the vending machine with her head lowered down, waiting for me to follow behind her.
But even though I couldn't see her face that was buried in her chest, I could still see her two ears that stood tall like two signal towers that were slowly turning from a deep green to a bright red at the moment, starting from the pointy tip. This was more than enough to tell me about the turbulent feelings that were racing through her head at the moment and how she felt about our little kiss.
And just like how I was admiring the unique colour of her skin that was constantly changing along with her turbid emotions, the Gods also seemed to be quite interested in it and wanted to observe it more deeply as they had finally sent a request.
