Part 2
 Moments have passed but Yume was still staring at the umbrella.
"Ahhhh….. It's so cute. I really want it."
 She was imagining herself walking somewhere while using that umbrella. The thought itself brought another smile to her face but her smile suddenly faded when she remembered something.
" (Sigh) Too bad I forgot to bring money with me." her shoulders dropped because of that thought. She was too busy escaping that she forgot all her money.
"But maybe, maybe, maybe if I ask Mikuo he'll lend me some." she was speaking in a monologue with a low voice.
"But we're not that close yet. We just met this morning; I don't think it's a good idea. He'll think I'm a swindler if I ask him for money for sure." the image of Mikuo looking at him with disgust while saying (swindler. disgusting.) came into her mind and that made her sad.
"No, no, he's my friend so I won't use him."
"But, but, but, it's really cute. I just wish it's still here next time I come back here." her energy suddenly ran out because of her disappointment and tried to look at Mikuo.
 Her head was filled with both the urge to ask Mikuo to buy it for her and the urge to stop herself from doing it. It seemed like an angel and a devil were arguing inside her.
"Hey,,,Mikuo, why aren't you—" but her sentence was cut half-way.
 But that was just normal because the boy that was just standing behind her moments ago was not there anymore.
"Huh? Mikuo? Mikuo? Where are you?"
 She looked at her surroundings but even his shadow can't be seen. It looked like he suddenly disappeared.
 Then something entered her mind.
"(What if, he was already tired of me so he left?)"
"(What if, he thought I'm just using him?)"
"(What if, he's still angry with me and he disgusts me?)"
 Negative thoughts like that were filling her mind one after another.
"No, no, it can't be, we just became friends."
 She looked down and tears started to come out of her eyes.
 Sobs also started coming out of her mouth.
"Mi(sobs)-Mi(sobs)-Mi(sobs)"
 Moments have passed and she was still in that position until something weird happened.
 The exact place where she was standing that was being lighted by the sun before was now being covered by a circular shadow.
 She noticed it so she looked up to see the origin of the shadow.
 And she was surprised by what she saw. She was not looking at the sky but rather—
"Huh? It is—"
"Yeah. This is it right?" asked by a familiar voice.
 It was the sky-blue umbrella with white 4-leaf prints that she was eyeing in the store moments ago.
She then averted her sight to the person who was holding the umbrella. And it was the boy he was with before she cried. A broad smile can be seen on his face.
"Huh? Hey.., why are you crying?" his face was suddenly filled with worries.
"Sobs sobs sobs."
"Hey…. You don't like it? Sorry, I thought it is the one you want." regret replaced the broad smile on his face.
"No ,no , I really like it. I really really like it. I love it. Thank you very much." she wiped off the road of tears on her cheeks.
"Really? Then why are you crying?"
"Ahhh…. Ahm….." it looks like she was shy about it and she was also blushing a bit.
"What?"
"I thought you leave me. I thought you were angry. When I thought of that, tears came out of my eyes and it made me sad. You were my first male friend you know? So you're important to me, even though we just met this morning."
"Honestly, you're such a cry-baby. Hfffft." he said that while trying to contain his laughter.
"No I'm not!" her face was beet red and her cheeks were puffed. It looked like she always makes that expression when she's angry.
 Some moments of laughing passed between them.
"Friend you say? hehe" that word somehow brought warm to Mikuo's heart.
"Why? Don't you like the idea? Sorry." she looked down again after saying that.
"O-o-oi. That's not it. It's just that, I haven't heard that word for quite some time." it's true, coz he doesn't have a lot of friends.
"Ahm…, if it's okay with you, can I become one of your friends?" she extended out her hand to him offering a handshake.
"There's no need for that." he looked directly to her eyes.
"Huh?" she tilted her head in wonder.
"We've been walking around for some time already. I guess that makes us friends already."
 He then accepted her hands with a smile on his face. "Well then, let's continue our tour, My Lady." He bowed elegantly like a butler serving his master.
 She then pulled his hand and walked "Let's go!(^^)".
Part 3
 It really looked like Mikuo and Yume were enjoying their date. Yeah, that was right, in any angle; it doesn't look like a tour anymore. It was more likely to be a date.
 But on the roof of a nearby 3-storey building, there were 3 people wearing hooded which hid parts their faces, standing and quietly observing the two.
"Oh….., so there's our little princess. And who is that jerk with her? I say we should attack now. Now!" said by one of them. From the tone of her voice, I guess it is safe to say that it was a girl.
"Ahmm…., Eh….., that's....., too violent.?" followed by the smallest one in the middle. Its voice suggests that it was also girl. She was also carrying a staff that easily out-extended her height.
"Hmmmm…., I guess we should wait." the last one said. It was also a girl.
"Why? We don't have time for that! The boss! She'll kill us for sure if she discovers this!" she looked like her patience was running out already.
"You're an idiot if that's the case."
"What?! Are you mocking me?! Hey!! Waiting is boring!!"
"Ok, what if we attack now here in the place where there are a lot of people? What do you think will happen huh?" she answered with a bit of irritation in her voice.
"Ahm…., please…., don't…, fight." the small kid in the middle tried to stop the quarrel.
"Ah…, that's…, I guess there's no problem if we attack now, is there?" there was uncertainty in that statement.
"Okay, what if we attack now while there are a lot of people in the perimeter? Obviously, it will cause a panic amongst the civilians. And for sure, City of Knives' enforcers will respond to that. And if that happens, what do you think will happen? The chance of our boss finding out about this incident will surely rise without a doubt. And also, we don't stand a chance against the enforcers even with the three of us here."
"Ugh… Okay! Then we'll wait!" she folded her harms and averted her sights away as a sign of defeat.
"Thank….., goodness... Haaaa" she let out a sigh of relief.
And three quietly observe the two from afar.
