"Witnessing a rare version of me has rendered you so stunned? Perhaps I should be delighted that my ability to turn heads has not changed."
Speaking of turning heads...
"It seems this realm of sand is not as densely populated as expected. We will make ourselves king and queen!"
โ iโm sorry . . . iโm sorry !
i-i didnโt mean to sound
rude or anything . . . itโs
just i have never seen you
without your scarf . . . โ
oh no , she said something
wrong to him โ ! ( ๐ง )
His arms were crossed over one another. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't hide his face much now.
"I pledge my fealty to the sky. The same sky we all look at. Just gazing up at it can soften any sense of loneliness."
Then, he looked at Mikan and saw her expression.
"...What?"
โ yeah it is . . . i think i like
the blueness of the ocean
a bit more . how about you
tanaka-kun ? โ huhhhโ๏ธโ
mikan turned his way to ask
her question but then was
stunned in her tracks . she
has never seen him without
his scarf .
His gaze shifted over the horizon. There weren't as many people as he dreaded, so he'll survive today. Probably.
Gundham slowly approached Mikan from the side and stood next to her.
"Nature's a beautiful thing, isn't it? The blue of the waves and the blue of the sky..."
it didnโt take long for her
to ready herself for their
beach visit so she arrived
before gundham .
so mikan simply stood on
the shore enjoying the
oceanโs breeze , it was a
lot more enjoyable than the
heat .
โ hopefully this wasnโt a
bad idea . . . โ she says to
herself softly .
A nod or two.
"An excellent strategy. I will be seeking you amidst the crowd."
Well, he didn't like crowds. So he hoped there wouldn't be any.
He was wearing some black swim shorts when he actually arrived. It felt almost unnatural to see him scarf-less.
mikan nodded and felt
herself relax a bit more in
his presence .
โ s-sure sure , how about
we go change and pack
our items then meet over
there ? โ
Calming down seemed to have been a good option. Gundham nodded, briefly smiling under his scarf.
"Shall we go? We mustn't let that power bubbling within you waver."
He liked it when she was confident in herself is all.
sensing his calmer demeanor
mikan opened her eyes back
up to engage with him further .
โ r-really ? me ? oh i see . . .
well if thatโs the case then iโll
do my best to not let you down
tanaka-kun ! โ
the nurseโs spirit seemed to be
risen by him .
Gundham may be... Gundham. But he could tell that he'd made Mikan tense up. He best try and keep his voice down just a little bit.
"Would anyone else be able to heal me, were I to engage in battle? You are the prime pick as a sacrifice to my evil ideals."
that small moment of
silence had made the
poor nurse tense . oh
she hopes she didnโt
say something wrong .
โ third eye ! ? n-no sir
i just have the two . . โ
mikan meekly looked
up at him as he towers
over her and shyly shuts
her eyes in a panic .
โ if youโre ok with me ! โ
he stood there for a brief moment, seemingly dumbstruck.
"you... saw right through me?! do you, too, possess the all-seeing eye?! Tch, it matters not! the beach, you say?"
A step forward. He's pretty tall...
"You only offer since you are willing to accompany me, do you not?"
"so, the everburn forge has bestowed its monstrous flame upon me? a supreme overlord of ice? how humorous!"
He's acting cool, but it's ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ hot with this scarf. He might overheat soon.
