“Thanks, but you didn’t have to give me a flower, the painting would have been just enough for me.”

“I’ll need to start placing protection spells around you and your place, for I do not want you to be in danger.”

Hikari muttered the special protective spell as he released it to surround her and the apartment building, after he was done, he asked her where the bath was.

Pointing to the entrance behind the kitchen, he went to where she directed him.

Miyako could not help but wonder why she suddenly felt her life had just taken a turn for the worse, when suddenly she heard him shout and she rushed to see what was wrong.

“What happened? Why were you shouting?”

“There is no hot bath; are there any hot springs around?”

“Was that why you were shouting? For a moment, I thought something terrible happened. There are no hot springs around. Why don’t you go to your house and take your bath, or a hot spring, or where ever it is that you take a bath.” sounded a vexed Miyako

Feeling irritable, Hikari decided to leave her bathroom, he couldn’t imagine himself taking his bath in such a ridiculously small tub, taking his leave as he waved her goodbye.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she shut the door behind him. Miyako couldn’t help wondering what brought them together as the events of the day began to sink in. Her eyes became heavy and she made her way to the bed to lay down.

Before closing her eyes, she turned to look at the beautiful flower in the vase that he gave her. With a smile on her face, she slowly drifted into a restful sleep.
