It was the fifteenth day of the fire moon, the day after my conversation with the goddess of hard times was over. I was standing in front of the fountain in the capital.
　Yesterday, Black suddenly asked me to go with him, and in the twinkling of an eye, I was going to tour the streets of the capital with him.
　I'm sure Black has some weird knowledge about dating, and he complained that we have to start with an appointment, so here we are in front of the fountain where I first met Black.

　I checked the time with my pocket watch after the sun had risen and it would be lunchtime in an hour.
　It's strange to meet up with someone who always appears out of the blue in the first place, and it's refreshing to say that I'm waiting for Kuro like this.
　I'm sorry, were you waiting? He wanted to do the standard "no, I'm just here" exchange, and yesterday he had an elaborate meeting?　As a result of this, I arrived first and waited.
　I've been watching people on the street for a while, and although this is also a standard practice, I hear a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Kite, sorry, did you wait?
No, I was just here...
Yeah?

　As we discussed, I turned around, returning Kuro's desired words, but my thoughts froze immediately afterwards.
　The figure of Kuro who appeared wasn't the long coat so shabby that it could be mistaken for the robe she always wears.
　A short-sleeved lace jacket that looks white and elegant, and brown shorts except for her bare feet, which are as clean as white porcelain. The usual long black coat is shaped like a sleeveless jacket, and the hem that reaches below the knee matches well with the white jacket, and although it was lightly dressed, the appearance was somewhat elegant.
　 It's already to the point where one's thoughts might be inclined to think that it's okay to be a pedophile.......

Kite?
Oh, no I was a little surprised to see you dressed so differently.
Oh, I see. What do you think?　Do I look good?
Oh, yeah. Looks good on you.
"Heh, thank you!

　I think your blazing smile is a foul play there. Oh, shit. I'm starting to feel very nervous.
　I can't help but think it's a shameful story for a 21-year-old, but I can only count on one hand the number of times I've gone out alone with a woman. Moreover, that handful of experiences includes going out with Luna Maria and Zeke, which is practically zero in the original world.
　It's a good thing that you're not nervous about going out on a date, no matter how much you know it's just a date with them.
　It's a beautiful girl with no favoritism. I'm sure you're not the only one who is used to talking to her, but when she smiles so sweetly at you, you can't help but feel the heat on your face.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's been in a position to do this.

　For now, I'll try to escape to another topic. It's not for some lame reason, such as the fact that I'm not likely to be able to talk about it if I depart with the flow of praise for my clothes.
　Black is the Dark Lord, one of the pinnacle of the demon world. His face is known in the past heroic festivals, and he's a very famous being... in the sense of the original world, it's like having a prime minister or emperor appearing in the city, which would be a big deal... ...it doesn't seem to be buzzing around at the moment. I don't know why.

"Yeah, well, there's no shortage of them!　I've got a proper cognitive inhibition and information hiding spell in place, so if you talk to me directly or something, I'm sure I'd know, but as long as I don't, I'm not going to know!

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
Yeah. I mean, it's more like they don't feel any different when they see me... well, it's more like they recognize me as a city girl walking around, like it's very natural.
I don't know, I don't know...
Haha, well, let's put that aside and get going!

　As far as Black's explanation is concerned, recognition inhibition magic is, in essence, an unnatural thing... even if you see the unusual situation of the Dark Lord walking around the city, it's a natural - a scene that's no different from everyday life. I mean, is this going to be some kind of recognition spell?　It seems that the magic of information concealment combined with it means that if you don't talk to them directly, they won't notice that Black is the Dark Lord.
　Well, it would be difficult to understand theoretically if you think about it in detail, and it's good to recognize that magic is something awesome.

''Speaking of which, where are you going today?''

　By the way, this date?　Haguro is supposed to be my escort.
　Normally, it would be natural for me, a man, to be the escort, but I've only been in this world for less than two weeks, and I've only been in the city a few times, so it's difficult for me to do that.
　That's why Kuro, who often visits the Symphonia Kingdom, is going to show me around the city.

You can find a variety of shops around here, you can go around, but it's almost lunchtime, and there's a place where food stalls are gathered a short walk away, so let's go there first.
Oh, the food stalls of this world that sounds like fun.
''Mm-hm. The Kingdom of Sinfonia has an advanced food culture, so there's lots of good food~

　Seeing her smiling and happy face, I couldn't help but smile and nod.
　I can't help but smile when I'm with him, which is fun.
　I had a lot of things going on yesterday, so I'll just enjoy the opportunity to rest my weary soul today, which Kuro has prepared for me.

Now, shucks!
'What?　Wait, Black!
Yeah?　What's going on?

　After declaring cheerfully, Black takes my hand in a natural motion.

''No, no, my hand...''
Aren't dates supposed to be about holding hands?
'Ta, I guess you could say that for sure, but...'
You'll be fine then!　Come on, let's go!
"...oh, oh...

　After I told him as a matter of course, Kuro proceeded to pull my hand gingerly and walked forward.
　Hey, your guard is a little too loose, isn't it, Black!　I mean, my hands are tiny and soft... Oh, I'm starting to get nervous again, even though I'm starting to calm down... This might be another one of those days where I'm going to have a hard time... ...

　Dear Mom and Dad - this may be a tempestuous turn of events in a way, but in any case, this is how my date with Black began.
