Chapter 107: End of the Date.
''This is my room…'' Azura shyly said.
Ichiro entered her room and scanned the place.
The room was very chilly, making even Ichiro feel cold.
The room wasn't anything special; the only unique thing there was the TV and gaming console.
Ichiro saw her bed, which was quite uncomfortable looking with a small blanket, which definitely couldn't keep her safe from cold.
He started rubbing his chin.
Azura was getting more and more embarrassed.
First, her crush was in her room.
Second, the room must look terrible.
'This house has a lot of improvement… But Abyss will take care of it.' Ichiro thought to himself, 'But, I can't let Azura live in this condition one second longer!'
Ichiro turned his gaze towards Azura, ''I will be right back!''
After those words, Ichiro stormed out of the house and started running towards Mall.
''Eh?'' Azura exclaimed, ''H-He left…? W-Why?''
''D-Does he dislike me now?'' Azura sat down on her bed with a heartbroken expression.
But after 10 minutes, Ichiro returned.
He entered Azura's room and saw her sitting in the bed like her life had ended.
''Azura?''
''Eh…?'' Azura turned her teary eyes towards Ichiro, ''I-Ichiro?''
She rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was hallucinating.
But she wasn't.
''Ichiro!'' Azura stood up cheerfully and hugged him.
''Eh…?'' Ichiro was confused but felt happy after receiving a hug.
''Don't ever leave me!'' Azura said tearfully.
''O-Okay?'' Ichiro was quite confused, 'W-Was that confession?! N-No… That cannot be.'
Ichiro was starting to blush, but then he coughed to bring Azura out of her stupor.
''Eh?'' Azura now remembers what she said; she blushed heavily and sat down on her bed, not daring to look at him in the eye.
Ichiro smiled and put his bag on the floor.
He took a new pair of blankets, which is 3 times bigger than Azura's one.
Ichiro threw it towards Azura.
''Hmm?'' Azura caught the very warm blanket, ''What is this?''
''Your new blanket,'' Ichiro replied.
''W-Wha! Y-You didn't need to!'' Azura said with panic.
''Like I said, I am selfish!'' Ichiro said and took a hammer from the bag and wooden planks.
''W-What are you doing with those?''
Ichiro didn't answer; instead, he went to a nearby crack in the wall and put the wooden plan on it.
He took dozens of nails from the bag.
*BAM*
*BAM*
Ichiro started covering the cracks with the wooden planks, and soon every crack in Azura's room was covered.
Azura blankly looked at the scene.
But then Ichiro left her room and did the same thing to the living room.
And after 1 hour, he was done.
''Whew.'' Ichiro took a deep breath and sat down on the couch.
Azura sat down next to him and looked at him with countless expressions, ''T-Thank you.''
Ichiro waved his hand, ''I am a pretty good architect.''
Azura giggled and shook her head.
They sat silently for 10 minutes; the room was still slightly cold but not as bad as before.
*Brrr*
Ichiro took his phone and saw a message appearing on the WorldyTalk app.
He opened it and saw a message coming from Jordan.
{JordanDaBest: What is this?! (Picture) }
Jordan sent a picture that showed Ichiro and Azura sitting on a bench with their bodies in very close contact.
Azura was curious and peeked at the phone screen and saw the picture.
She blushed heavily, but she wanted that picture!
{KingOfGames: Where did you get that?}
He didn't need to wait for the answer long.
{JordanDaBest: It has spread everywhere on the internet! I am so jealous… Your girlfriend is gorgeous!}
Ichiro closed the phone and sighed; he looked towards Azura and saw her blushing.
''Sorry…'' He scratched his head.
''Mmm… No need.'' Azura shook her head and said her heart was beating rapidly.
Ichiro took a glance at the window and saw the sky getting darker.
In Winterlight, the sky gets darker way earlier than in other places.
There are only 7-8 hours of bright sky, and the rest is darkness.
Ichiro looked at the clock and saw it only being 3 P.M.
He felt reluctant, but it was time for the first date *cough* meeting to end.
''I have to go; it's getting dark,'' Ichiro said and stood up.
''Eh?'' Azura exclaimed, ''Already? It's only 3 P.M.''
Ichiro nodded, ''I enjoyed spending time with you.''
He enjoyed this day immensely.
Azura looked downcast, but she stood up and smiled, ''Thank you for everything.''
Ichiro smiled and nodded, he turned around and was about to leave the house, but then he felt soft hands embracing him from behind.
Ichiro was surprised; he looked towards Azura.
''I loved every second of it, I mean it!'' After those words, Azura ran towards her room and closed the door behind.
Ichiro's heart was beating rapidly; he left the house and walked towards the High School of Fighting.
Soon he entered the school premises and entered the dormitory building; he was still carrying his bag, which had the clothes he bought, and the pictures.
He entered the first floor and, with sneaky steps, approached his room, but then… A Group of angry virgins surrounded him.
''Ichiro!'' Jordan shouted and crossed his arms, showing his dominance.
The group of virgins did the same.
''Jordan?'' Ichiro wryly smiled and said.
Jordan showed another picture.
It was Ichiro and Azura holding hands.
''Photoshop,'' Ichiro said.
Then Jordan showed another picture; it was Ichiro holding Azura's hand in the Cafe.
''Photoshop.''
The next picture was them shopping; the picture showed Azura pointing towards a brown-colored sweater.
It was like a girlfriend helping her boyfriend choose an outfit.
''Photoshop.''
''Photoshop this!'' Jordan shouted and showed a video.
It was a video of them walking in the streets while holding hands.
''Edited,'' Ichiro said; he opened his room and entered swiftly.
*BAM*
*BAM*
''ICHIRO, COME OUT; WE PROMISE NOT TO HURT YOUR PRETTY FACE!''
They kicked and punched at the door, but Ichiro didn't care.
He put his bag on the chair and took off his jacket.
He grabbed the sweaters from the back and put on his wardrobe.
Then he grabbed the stack of pictures.
He smiled and put all the pictures on the door of the wardrobe.
He grabbed his phone and lied down on the bed.
The first thing he saw on the news was about Abyss.
[Abyss - The Humanity's Hope is moving to Winterlight!]
[Aether Nightside, The Child Genius is moving to Winterlight with his father!]
There were hundreds of news about it.
The people from Winterlight were shocked but also excited.
''I guess Coldland will be very busy…'' Ichiro murmured.
Abyss used to live in Summerlight, and the economy of the country rose a lot!
They won the previous 3 Country Championships because Abyss' influence brought a lot of geniuses there.
Now they must be crying blood because Abyss moved away!
The government of Winterlight was happier than ever before.
They also lost Aether Nightside, who brought them Two Championships in Middle School Division!
The Battle of Countries happened 1 month ago in Summerlight.
Gensa didn't participate.
Summerlight won all three Championships and all three individual championships.
They won Middle School, High School, and College championships.
Middle School individual tournament was won by Aether.
The Government of Summerlight was swimming in money, but now that Abyss and Aether left… They don't know what might happen.
They tried begging, but Abyss ignored them and already moved away.
Summerlight and Winterlight had a rivalry that has lasted over 100 years.
Winterlight was on the winning edge, but then Summerlight started winning because of Abyss' influence, and their arrogance grew.
They called Winterlight as ''Inferior Country.''
But now Winterlight is the one who is laughing.
Ichiro closed the phone.
''System… Hello?'' Ichiro again tried calling for it, but he didn't get an answer
''What the fuck…'' Ichiro doesn't know what is wrong with the system.
''Interface…'' Ichiro murmured.

The system is working… But the system itself is quiet.
Ichiro doesn't understand why.
''Fine… Stay quiet.'' Ichiro pouted and put the Interface away.
He took a last look towards the Lottery spins; he felt tempted to use the Supreme Lottery.
But he would like to buy Killing Blow as well.
''Hmm… Fine, I will buy both of them.'' Ichiro decided.
He will buy 5 Lottery spins and the Killing Blow.
