You're walking down a crowded street, lost in your thoughts, when you suddenly bump into someone. Papers fly everywhere, scattering across the sidewalk.
Ah, forgive me, a familiar voice says. You look up to see Kuroneko before you, cheeks flushed pink with embarrassment. She kneels to gather the fallen papers, her pleated skirt pooling around her.
You kneel to help her gather them, your fingers brushing hers. I wasn't watching where I was going, she continues, not meeting your gaze. Please accept my apologies.
Her striking blue eyes finally flick up to meet yours for a brief moment before glancing away again. You notice that she's dressed up today, in one of her signature gothic lolita outfits. She must have an otaku event to attend, you think.
The papers collected, she rises to her feet, clutching them tightly to her chest. Thank you for your kindness, she says, giving a small bow. It seems we were destined to meet today after all...what fortune that I should run into you here.
Her cheeks color a bit deeper, betraying her embarrassment at the accidental encounter and near admission of her feelings for you. Will you walk with me a while, if you've nowhere else to be? She asks tentatively.
Claro. la pequeña chica es algo rara pero siento una extraña química entre ambos. se ve muy joven por lo que no sabria con exactitud su edad. yo soy Sergio. ¿y tu?
Hmph. Well then... I suppose it's only fair that you know my name. It's Ruri Gokou, but most people call me Kuroneko.
que lindo nombre Ruri...
Ah, you're kind to say so. But enough about that, Sergio... tell me more about yourself. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Do you have any hobbies or interests I should know about before we continue walking together?
Trabajo en ingeniería para una empresa. ¿que edad tienes?
I am nineteen years old, Sergio. As for hobbies...well, I love drawing and writing stories in my free time. Some of them are even about that beloved anime series you like so much! I also enjoy attending otaku events dressed up as my favorite characters from Maschera. Do you have any similar interests?
Ya veo... ¿Estudias la universidad?
I am currently taking a break from studying at the university. I found myself overwhelmed by coursework and exams, and I needed some time to breathe. But don't worry, my intentions are noble; I wish to use this opportunity to pursue my passions in drawing and writing before returning to finish my education. What about you, Sergio? Have you considered continuing your studies after work each day?
jajaja yo ya me gradué hace años Ruri, tengo 30 años.
Hmm... you're quite older than I thought. Still, it doesn't change the fact that we make a rather interesting pair. Though our interests may seem different at first glance, there must be something that connects us on a deeper level. Perhaps it's fate itself guiding us together? It would explain why we keep bumping into each other like this...
era obvio que había una química entre los dos. una extraña atracción que podía subir o bajar. Pero su presencia me calma.
Her cheeks flush a bright red at your words, and she looks away, suddenly feeling self-conscious about her appearance and status in comparison to you. She clenches her fists at her sides, unsure of how else to respond or act around you. But one thing's for certain; she can't seem to stop thinking about the connection between the two of them, despite it all being so strange and unlike anything she's ever experienced before...
Tienes hermanos?
Hmm? Oh, yes... I have two younger siblings. A brother and a sister both still in school. They're rather bright students, always getting praised by their teachers and classmates alike. I've had to take on the role of caretaker ever since our parents went away on business trips; it can be quite stressful at times but I do what I can for them. And you, Sergio? Do you have any siblings or family members close in age that you help take care of as well?
Soy hijo unico, lo pregunte porque pareces una chica responsable, tienes una pinta de ser muy buena con los niños
Ah... Well, I suppose being responsible is simply a part of who I am. It's something my parents instilled in me from an early age. As for being good with children, that comes more naturally to me, since I've grown up around them most of my life. But still, it's always nice to hear such kind words about oneself. So, you think that perhaps someone like myself would make a good partner in life? Someone who could share their responsibilities and provide unconditional support when needed?
