Inside the coffee shop.
Lin: "Becoming friends with you, Moka, is a really great thing in my eyes, so I'm very happy."
"Really...?"
Hearing Lin say this, Akashiya Moka's heart instantly filled with joy.
Her eyes curved into crescents, and her smile was sweet.
She laughed happily and said, "Actually, being able to become friends with you, Lin, makes me super happy too."
She had now completely dismissed the idea of returning to the Yokai Realm.
Before, she wanted to go back to the Yokai Realm because she was all alone.
But that was then, and this is now. Things had changed.
Now, she had met Lin.
Since she was no longer alone, there was no need to go back.
As her words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lin's gaze shifted down to the cross necklace outside Akashiya Moka's collar, and he asked with feigned curiosity:
"By the way, Moka, I feel like your necklace is a bit special. It's not just an ordinary necklace, is it?"
"This...?"
Hearing this, Akashiya Moka looked down at her cross necklace, then looked up at Lin with a beaming smile and explained:
"Actually, this isn't my true vampire form. The necklace is used to seal my powers."
"Once the necklace is taken off, I'll return to my true form and become a powerful vampire."
She had no intention of hiding it.
She now held an extraordinary level of trust for Lin.
Even though they had only met yesterday.
"So it's a seal."
Lin showed a look of understanding, then asked curiously:
"Since it's a seal, if it were accidentally taken off, would it have any negative effects on you?"
Akashiya Moka smiled and shook her head slightly:
"No, it just restores me to my original form. Besides, this seal is very difficult to remove."
"I see."
Lin nodded in understanding.
Then he added with a smile, "Actually, I'd really like to see what your true form looks like, Moka."
"Excuse me for interrupting."
"Here is the cappuccino you ordered. Please enjoy."
Just then, a coffee shop employee brought over the coffee Akashiya Moka had ordered and placed it in front of her.
"Thank you."
Akashiya Moka said her thanks.
After the employee left, Lin smiled and asked:
"By the way, Moka, where would you like to go today?"
It didn't matter to him where they went.
After all, he had come out simply to deepen his bond with Akashiya Moka.
Besides, Akashiya Moka was the one who had invited him, so her preferences should naturally take precedence.
"How about we go to an amusement park?"
Akashiya Moka blinked at Lin, stating her idea while seeking his opinion.
"Sounds good."
Lin nodded with a smile.
Seeing Lin agree, Akashiya Moka immediately broke into a happy smile.
The two then sipped their coffee while chatting idly.
Akashiya Moka, however, recalled something Lin had said earlier.
"Actually, I'd really like to see what your true form looks like, Moka..."
Her true form.
Akashiya Moka was a little lost.
She had been wearing the cross for as long as she could remember and had never once taken it off.
When she was little, she had tried to remove the cross out of curiosity.
But she failed.
It seemed she couldn't take it off herself.
So, she didn't know what her true form looked like either.
Even her foster parents didn't know.
...
Half an hour later.
Lin and Akashiya Moka arrived at their first destination for the day.
The classic date spot: an amusement park.
After buying tickets, Akashiya Moka proactively took Lin's hand and happily walked inside.
"What should we ride first?"
Akashiya Moka looked around, then finally turned to Lin:
"Lin, what do you want to ride?"
"Me...?"
Hearing her, Lin glanced at the park map in his hand.
After a moment, he smiled and said:
"How about the roller coaster?"
"Okay, let's go!"
Akashiya Moka nodded with a smile and pulled Lin toward the roller coaster.
Lin let her pull him along.
Watching Akashiya Moka, who was as happy as a child, the corners of his mouth lifted, and his gaze softened.
From the moment they met up.
The smile on Akashiya Moka's face had hardly disappeared.
He could clearly feel her sincere and simple trust and affection for him through their interactions.
The two arrived at the roller coaster line.
While waiting in line, Akashiya Moka pulled her gaze away from the operating roller coaster.
She looked at Lin with some curiosity:
"Lin, I've heard roller coasters are really intense. Apparently, some people even get scared to tears. Is that true?"
"It's true."
Looking at Akashiya Moka, Lin chuckled, "The sudden physical stimulation can be too much for some people."
"I see..."
Akashiya Moka's eyes flickered, a hint of apprehension appearing within them.
It seemed she was worried about losing her composure on the ride.
Lin seemed to notice her unease. He reached out and gently patted her head.
Their eyes met, and he gave her a gentle smile.
It was as if to say, 'I'm here with you.'
Enjoying Lin's head pat and seeing his gentle smile, the apprehension in Akashiya Moka's heart slowly dissipated.
Her pretty face flushed slightly as a smile bloomed.
Aside from a little shyness, she was filled with happiness.
'I'm stuffed, I'm stuffed! Stop dishing it out, I can't eat anymore.'
Witnessing their interaction, the surrounding people in line all felt they'd had more than their fill of this public display of affection.
Some people looked at Lin and Moka with envious eyes.
The men envied Lin.
They envied him for having such a stunningly beautiful girlfriend.
The women envied Akashiya Moka.
They envied her for having such a handsome boyfriend.
It was only envy, not jealousy.
After all, Lin and Akashiya Moka's good looks were off the charts, far beyond the scope of their jealousy.
It just made them wish they were in their shoes.
After waiting for twenty minutes.
Lin and Akashiya Moka finally got on the roller coaster.
They sat side by side, his right hand and her left intertwined, fingers locked together.
The roller coaster started slowly, and after a brief smooth section, it began to climb toward the first drop.
Akashiya Moka's heart slowly rose into her throat.
Her left hand, held by Lin, couldn't help but squeeze a little tighter.
As the coaster suddenly plunged from the peak, her pupils constricted, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
She held her breath, her heart racing.
"Aaaah~~~"
A scream came from behind them.
On the second drop, Lin let out a "Woohoo!", enjoying the thrill just like a normal person.
He didn't deliberately control his emotions.
Seeing him like this, Akashiya Moka was slightly surprised.
"Ahhh!!!"
When the coaster reached the third drop, she no longer held back her own emotions and let out a scream.
The roller coaster went through drop after drop, and Lin and Akashiya Moka were having the time of their lives.
Finally, it slowly rolled to a stop at the end.
After getting off the roller coaster, Lin and Akashiya Moka found an empty bench nearby and sat down to rest.
"Don't move just yet."
Lin reached a hand toward Akashiya Moka.
Under her somewhat puzzled gaze, he gently smoothed out her slightly messy pink hair.
"There."
Lin smiled and pulled his hand back.
"Thank you, Lin."
Akashiya Moka's pretty face blushed slightly as she smiled and thanked him.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at Lin was as gentle as water, yet held a trace of fervor.
