Chapter 2043 - Deer In Nara Are Perverted

As he had promised before, Haru went to Nara together with Nozomi directly by using his teleportation.

Even though Nozomi knew that Haru had a superpower, she had to admit that it was amazing to feel it with her own body.

"Your power is surely convenient," Nozomi said with a smile, hugging Haru's arm tightly with a smile, feeling happy that they could go on a date together.

"Yes." Haru nodded, but then, he looked at Nozomi for a moment.

"What?" Nozomi smiled and asked, "Is it beautiful?"

"Beautiful." Haru nodded and said, "I only remember, but it is better for you to change into pants."

"Huh? Why?" Nozomi asked in confusion.

"I'd heard that the deer on Nara are quite perverted. They love to sniff the girls' panties and even try to pull them," Haru said with a solemn expression. Even though Nozomi didn't need to feel scared that the deer on Nara would do something perverted on her since he was right beside her. He wanted to remind her since, in the future, she might come to Nara without him, considering she would go to a theology university.

"Eh?" Nozomi was dumbfounded and asked, "Aren't they like you?"

"........" Haru.

"Hmm... what to do? Should we go back now?" Nozomi asked worriedly since she didn't really want her panties to be pulled by a dear.

"You don't need to worry. As long as you stand beside me, they won't dare to do anything, or rather, I can make them become docile," Haru said.

"......." Nozomi looked at Haru speechlessly and asked, "Then why did you need to remind me of that?"

"I want to remind you to be careful. After all, I might not always be by your side and in the future, you might come alone to Nara. In that case, you might as well be careful, right?" Haru said gently.

Nozomi stared at Haru for a moment and kissed his lips.

"..........." Haru.

"That's your reward for now," Nozomi said with a smile.

"...Is there something more later?"

"Should we get a shrine maiden outfit in Nara?" Nozomi asked with a playful tone.

".........."

Haru had to admit that this girl was amazing.

They didn't immediately visit the temple, rather they went to have lunch nearby.

"Do you know a good restaurant here, Haru?" Nozomi asked.

"If I'm not wrong, there should be a famous udon and french restaurant," Haru said, recalled the famous restaurant on Nara.

"Udon? French? What kind of combination is that?" Nozomi looked at Haru weirdly.

"I mean, you don't combine the two of them. The two of them are two different restaurants," Haru said.

"Hmm..." Nozomi thought for a moment and asked, "Which one has the lowest calories?"

"........." Haru.

Nozomi noticed Haru's state which made her blush. "Wh - What's with that gaze?"

"Are you worried about your figure?" Haru asked with a sigh.

"It can't be helped, right? I can get fat easily..." Nozomi's mood was so low when she thought about her body since she could get fat so easily.

"If that's the case, you don't need to worry since..." Haru then whispered the benefit of doing it with him.

Nozomi was stupefied when she heard Haru's words.

"And... I like your figure, Nozomi. It's so soft to hug." Haru hugged Nozomi's waist that was so soft to hug. It felt like he was hugging the softest pillow in the world and he wanted to rub his face on her body.

"Pervert!" Nozomi blushed, but she didn't move away and moved closer to him.

'Who's the pervert?' Haru rolled his eyes and asked, "Should we go to the udon then? The calory of udon is small."

"No, I have enough udon. Let's go to the french restaurant since I want to taste the richness of French cuisine." Holding Haru's hand tightly, Nozomi smiled as she raised her hand that was holding his hand. "Go!"

"Yes, yes."

---

Haru and Nozomi entered the French restaurant nearby and even though it was a French restaurant, the building of the restaurant was built in traditional Japanese design. The restaurant's specialty was quiche, so they ordered a quiche without hesitation.

If someone was confused about what quiche was, then it was just a pie from a French, but it had various types.

Haru ordered a savory quiche and Nozomi ordered a sweet quiche.

As they ate together, they looked at Nara's trip guide that they got earlier to see where they should go next.

"Tonight, we're going to stay here, right?" Nozomi asked as she stared at Haru.

"Yes." Haru nodded without hesitation.

Nozomi only smiled, but she didn't say much. "In that case, we have to visit the Todaiji temple."

Todaiji is one of Japan's most famous and historically significant temples and a landmark of Nara. The temple was constructed in 752 as the head temple of all provincial Buddhist temples of Japan and grew so powerful that the capital was moved from Nara to Nagaoka in 784 in order to lower the temple's influence on government affairs.

Nozomi wanted to see one of Japan's largest bronze statues of Buddha on the Todaiji temple. As she talked, she saw Haru's expression was a bit weird. "What's wrong, Haru?"

"No, it's just that we're a shrine, right? If we follow a Shinto belief, then why should we go to Buddha temple?" Haru asked with a weird expression.

"................."

"...That's unexpectedly a good question," Nozomi murmured and wondered why she decided to visit a Buddha temple when they had a shrine rather than a temple. "But it isn't that bad, right? We can put your bronze statue on the shrine in the future."

".................."

"You're joking, right?"

".................."

---

Haru knew that Nozomi was joking, and even though he might like to be on top of someone, he didn't really like to be worshipped like a God. He knew that, unlike Buddha temple, which believed in Buddha, the Shinto shrine had a lot of deities so each shrine would believe in different deities, depending on the shrine itself.

Haru had made his shrine a shrine of wealth and unexpectedly, there were a lot of people who came to his shrine, asking for good luck or something, but sometimes, he made it hard to get into since he didn't really want it to be so crowded with people. Still, that might be the reason why the shrine became so popular and there was a belief that if someone could get into his shrine, they would get great luck in their lives.

It might sound illogical, but a person unexpectedly would believe in such an illogical matter.

Haru thought to expand his shrine later by buying the nearby house and renovated it into an area of his shrine in the future since he knew that in the future his shrine would become more and more popular, especially after he had learned Feng Shui in the world of Strike the Blood and it could give someone an effect of having good luck or something similar.

Still, it was better to continue with the date, rather than talking about the matter of shrine or temple since the truth no one really cared whether they came to the shrine or a temple since their shape was quite similar to each other.

When they arrived at Todaiji, Nozomi looked at the huge temple in front of her and she was full of amazement. "Haru, look! This shrine was built in 752 and it still exists until now." She held Haru's hand and looked at him full of love. "I also want our love to exist as long as that."

"It's you "want", but we're sure that we'll love each other until our death, right?" Haru said with a smile.

Nozomi looked at Haru and thought about their next destination.

"Should we go to the hotel?"

"Why not?"

"Kyaaaa!!!"

As they were about to go to the hotel, they heard the scream of a woman and they saw two deer that pulled the skirt of the woman.

"................"

There was only one thought that crossed their minds at this moment.

'Deer at Nara is perverted, right?
