The passersby who were force-fed a display of public affection were now all turned into lemon essences, sincerely wishing in their hearts that the lovers would eventually become siblings.

Similarly, this scene also fell into the eyes of the few girls who were peeking at me and Tohka from behind the flower bed.

"Amazement. Yuzuru actually didn't think of this way of feeding. What a miscalculation."

"Ohohoho~ As expected of my own Vassal! Very well done!"

"Mmph~ Darling is so biased. You've never done this with me,"

"..."

Suddenly, a chill ran down my back. I felt as if I was being targeted by something terrifying.

'What's going on? Why are the others looking at me so strangely?'

I glanced at the surrounding passersby.

I noticed many people were clenching their teeth, glaring resentfully at me. This left me utterly bewildered.

"Kyoya! Kyoya! Let's go to the next place."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came. I turned my head and looked.

I saw Tohka was puffing her cheeks and looking at me. There was still a trace of cream at the corner of her mouth, making her look exceptionally cute.

'I see!' Realization dawned on me.

"Sigh, in this beautiful world, it seems single people are still the majority!"

"Tohka~ Let's continue our date!" I stood up, took out a tissue to help Tohka wipe the corner of her mouth, and then left together under the gaze of the passersby.

———

"..."

What does that mean?

What did that guy mean just now??

The innocent passersby roared in their hearts. Undoubtedly, my seemingly unintentional last sentence was clearly mocking them!!!

'Damn it~ Is it so great to have a girlfriend??'

———

At this moment, I was unaware of the situation at the scene.

Because I was now shopping with Tohka.

"Where are we going for our date today, Tohka~"

"Hmph~ We'll go eat takoyaki first, then skewers, fried noodles, ice cream, grilled squid, hot dogs..."

Listening to Tohka pointing at the restaurants along the way as if ordering food, I broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected, even on a date, Tohka's gluttonous attribute could not be changed.

"Is it all about eating??"

"Of course! I observed Kyoya's previous dates. Although they were dates, there was so little food."

"So, my date plan for today is to eat everywhere with Kyoya! Don't you think this is a great plan, Kyoya!" After explaining her grand date plan, Tohka revealed a confident smile.

'Only Tohka could come up with such a date plan.'

However, looking at this energetic girl, my eyes were filled with nothing but doting affection. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin our grand food tour date!"

Saying this, I took the girl's soft hand and headed to their second stop.

"Sir, two... no, three servings of takoyaki, please."

"Sir, a large tub of ice cream for me."

"Sir..."

———

Finally, after sweeping through the area, looking at the large amount of food in her hands, Tohka's eyes curved into crescent moons with happiness.

She scooped a large spoonful of her big bucket of ice cream and brought it to my mouth.

I looked at this big bucket of ice cream, my mouth twitching slightly.

'Probably only Tohka could finish this. If it were me, I'd probably eat until I threw up.'

Opening my mouth and eating the ice cream the girl offered, I patted her head and gently stroked her hair.

However, to thank Tohka, I still lightly pecked her lips.

Tohka's face instantly turned beet red.

A few seconds later, Tohka looked up at me, suddenly smiling like a flower.

"Kyoya, I like you~"

I was slightly taken aback, a little surprised by Tohka's words. Then, a smile appeared on my lips. "I know. I love you too, Tohka~"

"Then how much does Kyoya like me?" Tohka asked again seriously upon hearing this.

Instantly, my eyes lit up. I looked at Tohka with some surprise, not expecting her to ask such a question.

'Tohka has grown up too!'

Thinking of this, I felt a sense of relief in my heart and patted Tohka's head.

Tohka immediately squinted her beautiful eyes happily, as joyful as a child, but she couldn't help but continue asking. "Kyoya, do you really love me? Are you willing to cherish me?"

Although Tohka knew my affection for her, she still wanted to hear this answer from his own mouth.

Just because she really liked him.

He was the first to acknowledge her, to take her in, and it was he who gave her a name.

Not only was he willing to protect her, but he also gave her a warm and happy home, allowing her to live such a happy life.

But what she liked most, most of all, was that he was always so gentle and doting towards her, and she loved being with him.

"Mm, I really like... no... I deeply love Princess Tohka."

Hearing my words, Tohka's small face blushed slightly. "Do you really mean it?"

"I do."

"Really, really?"

"Really, really!!"

"Really, really, really?"

"It's really, really, really true!!!!"

Immediately, I leaned closer, gently caressing Tohka's delicate and exquisite face, my tone filled with deep affection. "From now on, I want to cherish Tohka for a thousand years..."

'Thousand years...'

In an instant, Tohka's purple eyes became hazy, and she stared at me in a daze.

After hearing these sweet nothings, Tohka was undoubtedly and completely moved.

Witnessing this scene, I struck while the iron was hot and seized the opportunity, lowering my head and kissing Tohka.

At the same time, Tohka also put down the food in her hand and wrapped her arms around his neck in return.

Then, the girl slightly stood on her tiptoes and slowly began to respond.

A long while later, our lips parted.

Just as the two of them were looking at each other affectionately, Tohka suddenly pouted and said unhappily, "Kyoya, you lied to me."

"Hmm? What did I lie to you about?" I looked at Tohka, puzzled upon hearing this.

To be honest, the cheesy pickup lines I had just said, although cringe-worthy, were indeed from the bottom of my heart, without a single lie.

Tohka continued with a pouted face. "You said you would cherish me for a thousand years. But we can't live that long."

"..."

Hearing this, my face twitched, and I couldn't help but say, feeling both amused and exasperated. "You little silly girl, I was just using a figure of speech. What I meant by that is forever."

"Besides, I am immortal. With me around, your lifespans will be endless."

"A figure of speech? So it means forever!" After my explanation, Tohka finally reacted, scratching her head in embarrassment.

"Um~ I'm so sorry, Kyoya! I didn't understand just now."
