Calli pov: I asked Ame where everyone else was, since when I called she was still in the mystical forest with Reine, Moona, and Ollie. Amelia told me that Reine would probably join us later, telling me that they had a bit more to worry about after what Oga had told them.

"Calli, I want sushi!" Kiara whined. I looked at her in astonishment.

"We just ate Kiara..." I said so and she changed her mind. She now wanted ice cream. I sighed, thinking it may be good for Flare to try ice cream.

"Do you think it's okay to give Flare ice cream?" I asked all of them to stare at me.

"You're acting like Flare is an animal, Calli..." Gura said, "I didn't mean to make it sound like that, but that's what they saw it as.

"Well, I was just Guh! --" I couldn't explain myself. I just kept digging myself deeper into the hole I accidentally created.

"Flare wants ice cream." Noel said, telling us to lead the way. It seemed like the elf would only respond to Noel. If anyone else asked her anything, she would ignore us like we don't exist.

I understood what she was going through, though Noel was the first person to let her exercise any freedom whatsoever, so to her, everyone was trying to exploit her.

"Sana, can I talk to you in private?" Ina asked the girl, nodded, and we watched as the two turned the corner to talk before coming back to us,

"What did you two talk about?" Gura asked cheekily, noticing the blush on Ina's face concealing a kiss mark,

"N-nothing..." Ina told Gura, who just laughed,

"Doesn't look like anything Ninomae Ina'nis." Gura said she called her by her full name to get a bigger reaction from her.

"Gura, don't pressure her!" Ame scolded Gura looked at her before apologizing to Ina for teasing her.

I began to wonder if Sana and Ina secretly had a thing going on. It would be cute if so, and Ina has a kiss mark. However, that doesn't mean they're going out. "Calli,
we're going!" Kiara said as she began to drag me by my arm,

"Kiara, give me a minute!" I caught a glimpse of Ame and Gura, noticing that they were holding hands.

"Kusotori, just this once, I'll allow you to hold my hand again." I said Kiara seemed to get excited as she grabbed onto my arm and started pulling me along.

I smiled. It seemed like she finally took her mind off her mother and began to enjoy herself.

"Calli, when is Reine supposed to get here?" Kiara asked. I told her I had no clue but it was going to be whenever they got done with their business.

Kiara also reminded me that we had to set out to the coordinates that Zeta gave us tomorrow morning, so nobody could be hung up on other things. Reine and he had to be in attendance.

"Kiara, do you want to sleep at my place tonight while Ame sorts some things out?" I asked. Kiara nodded in excitement.

I was hoping Ame would be able to reverse all the damage done to Kiara's mother without getting her powers taken by Kronii.

This definitely isn't her first offense because Kronii wouldn't suspend her. Otherwise, she must have misused her poket watch for stupid things like going back in time just to beat someone up or to catch the premiere of a show so she could watch it live instead of just a recording.

My thoughts ended as we reached the ice cream place. We all went in and got into the line. I fucking hated lines. I just wanted to summon Ricky and kill everyone in front of us, but then Kiara would see her blood was still there and she would tease me forever,

"What do you want, Flare?" Noel asked. Flare looked at her, saying she wanted whatever she was getting.

I then realised how dependent on Noel she really is. She still can't really make her own decisions. She didn't even know what kind of ice cream she wanted and was basing it on her girlfriend's choice.

I turned to Kiara, asking her what she wanted. She happily told me strawberry. I pondered about it, deciding to get that too. I was trying to get closer to Kiara by trying out things I saw other couples do.

"Gura, let's share a Sunday!" Ame said Gura agreed. Ina and Sana decided to get a root beer float and share it. I wondered if sharing confectionaries was something couples did.

"Kiara, do you want to share with me?" I asked. She looked at me smiling and nodding slightly. She said we were going to need a huge bowl of ice cream to satisfy her needs.

We all got what we wanted and sat down at one of the tables in the building. I noticed Ina and Sana were sitting next to each other. From the looks of it, they were sharing one straw for it, but it had two mouth pieces.

Ame and Gura were across from each other but they never made eye contact, and finally, Noel was feeding Flare ice cream. I really wanted to do some of this stuff with Kiara, but I was too embarrassed.

Even though we've kissed and indirect kissed, sharing food was something we've never done.

"Calli open wide" I said, putting her spoon into my mouth, sliding the ice cream inside before scooping some for herself.

I began to blush as Kiara initiated an indirect kiss. We shared spoons, "good right!" I nodded, taking the spoon out of her hand and getting another scoop. I wasn't in it for the ice cream. I just wanted to have another indirect kiss.

Kiara started talking to me about the conception of ice cream. I listened to her story, questioning how I was ever mean to her and how happy I was to finally have her back.

I decided I was going to protect Kiara until the end of time.
