Kentaro's eyes widened. His brain short-circuited.
"A… A DATE!? With ME?!" He blurted.
Rin nodded, her silver hair swaying, her pink eyes glowing with mischief.
"Yes, yes. A date with Kentaro. How dreamy, isn't it?"
His cheeks lit up like firecrackers. He stiffened his back, trying desperately to look composed, but his thoughts were all over the place. He couldn't exactly say no, but saying yes could be a problem. Tenka needed to know about this. They were supposed to leave soon, as soon as Aria's tests were done. And if Tenka found out he was sneaking around dating Rin… Kentaro didn't even want to imagine the paperwork she'd bury him under. Or worse.
He froze, running through every possible option in his head. Then, finally, he smiled. This was his chance. A risky one, sure, but a chance to get closer to Rin, maybe even learn more about her, and her knowledge about the Alberlines.
