My Lovely Cousin's

Chapter 22: You're So Good

After that they also went into the store selling action figures. Zara really enjoyed the atmosphere of the store. Enthusiastically the girl stared at all the action figures caught by her eyes. He also ran small to one side of the store that displays various action figures of several tokusatsu characters. So enthusiastic, the girl forgot that she was with Ran.

Semenara Ran who was walking behind him felt very worried. The man continued to focus on looking at Zara's hand. The girl's left hand still had stitches. 'Based on this kid, it's always worrying.' Ran said in his heart.

Once at one of the sales stands, Zara holds one by one the action figures kamen rider and also ultraman displayed beautifully in front of him. His face radiated a twinkle of happiness, making Ran who was standing next to the girl stare without a blink. Zara takes the action figure Kamen Rider Black then shows it to Ran.

"What do you think about this?" ask the girl.

"Pretty good," replied Ran quickly.

Actually, the man from earlier was less focused due to looking at Zara's face full of desire. His eyes winked for a moment that felt very sore. A single tear came out through the beautiful eyelids of the man. Sontak Zara felt astonished when she accidentally caught the clear circle falling onto Ran's cheek.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Zara asked, the girl stepped closer to Ran.

"Ah no. Just dusting it." Ran replied while rubbing his eyes.

"Related?" Zara.

"Well, I really am okay." Answered Ran.

"alright. Eh but really it's okay?." again the girl made sure. Ran nodded for sure.

Finally the girl again showed her chosen action figure to Ran.

"Kamen Rider Black?" ask Ran.

"Yes, why?" Zara looked flinched.

"Are you sure? I thought you liked Kamen Rider Amazon, why Black now? Not even RX?" asked Ran while flirting.

Zara chuckled, "That's right, their shapes are similar. The sign is different, even the cast is still Kotaro Minami." Then the girl thought what was the reason she took the action figure in her hand. "I think I like everything." Zara finally answered. Actually Zara did like Kamen Rider Black, or people used to call him a black steel knight.

"Yes already then. Is there anything else?" Ask Ran.

"I don't think there is." Answer Zara.

"Alright, let's pay for it." take Ran in the end.

...

After paying for the action figure that Zara wants them to go to the nearest restaurant because Ran's stomach has been rumbling. While at the restaurant again they met the Japanese woman. Kanako Akiyoshi.

"Amakusa-kun, can I join you?" Akiyoshi asked with a smile on his face.

"Haiik (yes). Come here." Come here." Ran. Again Zara can only gawk because she does not know what they are saying.

Shortly after, they began to eat their order which was bento after the waiter brought it. Zara was trying to put her food in her mouth, but she had difficulty wearing chopsticks. It seems that girl is not yet proficient. Ran watched. Eventually the man took the initiative to help.

"Hey, let me give you a bribe." Ran said as he grabbed the chopsticks Zara held.

At once the girl was stunned but could not do anything. Without wasting any time, slowly the first mouthful of Ran barged into the mouth of the girl. Actually he was very ashamed of Akiyoshi sitting among them, but what is permissible, this has happened and cannot be prevented.

While Akiyoshi seemed to pay attention to the behavior of the two of them with a smile that could be said to never fade. Akiyoshi continued to watch them without stopping his mouthfuls. He feels Ran's warm attitude is very much different when he knew him in High School first.

In High School Ran has never been warm to anyone even to him. But seeing this instantly made Akiyoshi finally understand that Ran liked the girl. How could a cold man be warm if he had no feelings for his opponent.

"I think you've changed a lot." Akiyoshi said suddenly.

Ran turned to Akiyoshi followed by Zara who still did not understand what the woman said.

Akiyoshi smirked, "You were never this close to anyone, did you like that girl?" then a smile that finally makes Ran understand.

"Ah well, it seems so." Answered Ran casually.

Akiyoshi nodded slowly as he grabbed the drink next to him. While Ran looks back to turn to Zara who is waiting for the next feed.

"What's he saying?" Ask Zara curiously.

But Ran hesitates to translate it again because of their talk about him, and Ran does not want the girl to know about his feelings for now.

"Later you'll know you've learned Japanese. Now don't ask too many questions, just open your mouth! Aaaa.." Ran thrusting the chopsticks containing sushi.

While accepting Ran's mouthful, Zara opened her mouth with a pouting face. The girl deliberately throws a snuffing expression because she does not want to accept Ran's words.

"You guys are so compatible." Akiyoshi said again. The woman always spoke suddenly.

"really?" Tanya Ran with a sumringah face as well as a sweet smile that looks charming.

Akiyoshi nodded slowly. There was a sense of disappointment that perched in the heart of the woman when she heard Ran's words that seemed happy called harmonious. Wh why? Because actually Akiyoshi has long harbored feelings for Ran. But because the man was always cold, Akiyoshi never dared to reveal his heart.

And what he saw now was something that he thought was very difficult to happen, why the girl could captivate Ran while everyone knew that the man was difficult to attract. Even she was the prettiest woman in school never succeeded. Lucky for that girl. Her thought.

After lunch, the three of them finally left the restaurant. Akiyoshi who was curious about the loyal girl beside Ran immediately focused his gaze on the girl by throwing a friendly smile.

'Looks like this lady's a cheap smile huh.' Praise Zara to Akiyoshi in your heart.

"Akiyoshi Kanako?I'm Akiyoshi Kanako, you?)" Akiyoshi stuck out his hand at Zara as a sign of self-introduction.

Zara nervously replied as much as she could to "Zanzara desu. Hello to you." Say Zara in Japanese.

"Greetings." Akiyoshi replied still with a smile.

Not understanding each other's language, Akiyoshi, who had wanted to ask Zara a lot, immediately abandoned his intentions. He will try to learn Indonesian in order to talk to the girl. I don't know why Akiyoshi felt interested in getting to know Zara more deeply and wanted to make her a sidekick.

"Amakusa-kun, it looks like I have to go. Jane!" Akiyoshi said while melanbai and just left the two.

After Akiyoshi's departure, Ran held Zara's hand again and decided to step out of the building.

"She's very friendly" Zara praised as they climbed down a few steps into the basement.

"Well, he was like that a long time ago." - Ran.

"I hope one day we can meet him again." said Zara with a faint smile on her lips.

"But not for the near future, because you have to learn to understand the language so as not to bother communicating."

Zara's throat was immediately blocked. "Well, it looks like." muttered the girl.
