9. Invitation for Dinner

Invitation for Dinner

The POV

I've been in the dorm for a month. But I rarely see Arai. Even lately I have rarely seen Kei. He seems very busy. I was accompanied by Leah.

Lea: "Where, later tonight Arai invites you to dinner in his private room."/enthusiastic tidying/

Cana: "Really?"

Lea: "Yes right. How happy it is to be you Kana, to be the lover of Arai Takahashi. Every woman wants to be in your position."

Kana: "How could you possibly want to be with a man as stiff and cold as that block of ice? To be honest, I prefer a man who's hot and supple."

Lea: "i know a man like that, only usually a man who is supple and warm is not pure blood."

Kana: "Yes you're right. Pure-blooded Men2 tend to be too authoritative to appear stiff."

Lea: "After all you are the luckiest woman of Cana. Ok, now we extend yuk so that later you will be fresh when meeting Arai. You must prepare to meet your lover. You have to give the best appearance. Ahem, who knows./whispering/you will lose your crown tonight.

Cana: "Hus! You think I'm that cheap? You think Arai's a brash guy, too?"

Lea: "excuse me for my straight mouth, Kana, I'm just kidding. Only, no one had ever entered Arai's room other than Keima and a special servant. This time Arai invites you there, there will certainly be extraordinary things happening."

Lea's words continued to ring in Cana's mind. He wasn't ready if what Leas said was true. I don't love him yet anyway. I don't think he loves me either. How can you do that without love?

night in Arai's private room

There are a variety of meat foods available. Starting from steak, bacon, to gyutan. Everything looks good and tempting. The atmosphere is like a romantic dinner.

Arai: "Eat before I talk to you about something"

Kana: "Good"

I also started eating some food. Everything feels so good. If the atmosphere is more calm and not as stiff as this, it might feel more delicious. I don't know what kind of strength this man has in front of me so he has this intimidating aura. His aura is very strong. Until I am also level A, I cannot resist or refuse his will.

Kana: "Did you read my mind?"

Arai: "So right huh? I didn't read your mind. All clear from your expression."

Kana: "Ah sorry, I'm just not used to being with a man who has a creepy aura like you."

Arai: "Oh, so I'm creepy huh?"

Kana: "Ah that's not what I mean. Forget it."/dry your mouth with a tissue/ "So what do you want to talk about?"

Arai: "To the point only, I want to back off our engagement. Maybe we should get engaged after you we graduate. I'm going to graduate in 3 months. Should we get married in 3 months, right? But you're about to graduate in 9 months. Then let us get engaged for another 9 months."/flat expression/

Kana: "But why? Isn't the time of our engagement already determined from far 2 days? Why arrive2 do you want to postpone it?"

Arai: "i know you're not ready yet, right? You better enjoy your time now. After getting engaged what else after marriage, of course Kana will not be this free."

I noticed Arai's facial expression, I didn't find any strangeness there. I wonder the real reason for this request. I'm sure I'm just an excuse. But why don't I see the slightest expression of lies or a dubious expression on his face. Is this man before me a true liar?

Arai: "Please pass this decision on to your parents. If I had, I'd pay a visit to your father's office to deliver it directly."

Kana: "Good. I'll deliver it. Can I go back to my room now."

Arai: "One more thing. Never expect warmth from me. Start adapting to my cold attitude. Because I can't be what you hope for. I'm saying this so you won't be too disappointed."

Kana: "at least learn to smile master ice block." /hold both ends of Arai's lips with both hands, pull him up to form a smile/ "at least learn to smile." /delegate yourself to the room/

in Kana's room

You poor man expression. He could have said that. What do I expect from a man like him?

But I'm grateful, I'm not sure how I feel. I wanted to beg her to postpone the engagement. Fortunately, he thought the same thing about me. At least these 9 months I was able to really focus on finishing college and understanding my true feelings.
