"I’m starting to like this"

"you should not be playing with Fire Anne"

"look, is your fault that I’m in this state"

"now is my fault? you could be dead if I didn’t give you sake"

"so how did it go?"

"I was able to enter his dreams, it felt like I was with him like we used to be but for some reason he could not figure out who I was"

Anne was developing so many traits that Hikoboshi started wondering what this was

"something is off"

"did you finally notice?"

"first thing is that Anne is developing these traits and second"

"and second?"

"I remember that when Harima traveled back in time, it was July 22nd too"

"and?"

"today is July 22nd too"

"meaning that?"

"could you please stop asking?

"could you please complete what you are thinking so we can be sure that you know what your job is now?"

"I’m lost what are you trying to say"

Gabriel, Miguel and Samael made a face of disappointment

"she is too young"

"but she should have noticed already"

"did someone play with the dates?"

"how did you find Harima when he traveled back?"

"I found him because Erica card of Harima showed that he disappeared so I tracked his timeline"

"did you see the date when he disappeared?"

"....no"

"you need to pay more attention Benten"

"are you telling me that ......."

"the time machine can send you to a specific date"

"so, it was not July 22nd when we left?"

"FINALLY, YOU NOTICED!!!"

"what does that have to do with my job?"

"someone told Harima that you could not specify the dates and that the machine will make you travel to a random date"

"that’s pretty lame, then what would be the purpose of the time machine then?"

"Benten, the time machine back then could not do that"

"huh?"

"it looks like the time machine was modified"

"I’m lost"

"look, we will get there when the time comes but something is fishy"

"if is fishy for Samael then it means something"

"are you telling me that this was not part of your plan?"

"look, we can track anything that is made by flesh and has the breath of the creator in it and the only person who can travel in time was Harima in that miracle that we caused, there is no other human that can travel besides him"

Harima and Annabel were taking a smoke break because Harima screwed up on the raids during the afternoon

"I should ask Erica about how to read cards"

"who is Erica?"

Yamiko and Annabel asked

"she is a very annoying girl"

they felt better after hearing that but then Harima said

"she knows me like an open book"

"what is your relationship with her?"

"she used to work with me"

"really?"

Annabel then asked

"did you confess to her?"

"I could not do it"

"what do you mean?"

"she knew I was going to confess and interrupted me"

"what??"

"she can read cards, read minds and the future"

"you describe her as a monster"

Annabel curiosity started to grow towards this Erica girl because she wanted to know if Erica could tell her if Harima would be her boyfriend in the future, what Annabel doesn’t know is that the person who is supposed to be Harima girlfriend in the future is Erica

Sunday 23rd

"so, did you figure out which was the date that Harima used the time machine?"

"yeah, it was around August 4th"

"look, that will leave us with really short time to move Harima to Sendai and tell him about the spell and the talisman"

"hopefully we won’t have any problems once I can start my job"

"don’t jinx yourself Benten"

Harima went to his parents’ house and Marisa received him, but Marisa didn’t know that Harima had a car already

"Hello Harima"

"Hello Marisa"

|why is she being so formal? |

"your parents are in the back yard"

Harima then went in and Marisa stared at the car, she was searching for signals of sex activity inside the car, yes, when she saw the car the only thing that passed on Marisa head was Harima using the car to hire girls for her services, this type of jealously was almost the same as Reina, Marisa turned into a possessive woman but different from Reina, Marisa could control it.... wait Marisa what are you doing?

Marisa opened the car and found a lighter inside, Marisa was in shock because the car didn’t smell like cigarettes at all, meaning that Harima was hiding the fact that he smokes by not smoking on the car, she started to worry about Harima health

Lunch

Harima was feeling really uncomfortable to share lunch with Marisa because he actually has another life, the one with Reina and he was trying to not look guilty in front of her first love, if you can call it that, remember that everything started with Marisa, she was starting at him and then asked him

"do you still go to karaoke Harima?"

|damn, I knew she was going to start asking about my personal life|

"yes, I do"

Harima parents knew that Harima was lying but they let Marisa keep the questioning in order to see if she really likes Harima, remember that Harima parents want Harima to marry Marisa, and then Marisa made the worse question that she could make

"do you have girlfriend yet Harima?"

the fact that she started calling him Harima again was because she felt that he was changing, buying a house of nowhere and a car, he may be planning something and since he have yet to tell her she decided to ask directly

Harima started to cough and then he drank some water

"....no, I don’t have"

then Harima mother made things worse

"see? he still loves you Marisa, why don’t you marry him?"

that was like a huge bomb for lunch, Marisa stopped asking Harima about his life and Harima was happy that his mother made that question, Marisa felt better because of Harima answer but she wanted make sure but she was not planning on keep pushing him the rest of the day

Later that night

Reina was stressed that Harima didn’t call her the whole day, the agreement that she had with Harima was that he had to call her after visiting his parents and then the phone rang

“hello, sorry I didn’t call you earlier, is Sunday and I had to go to my parent’s place”

“did everything go well?”

“yeah kind of”

“why haven’t you taken me there yet?”

“you know is not easy, Marisa is there”

“…. oh right”

“I have to go back”

“ok, love you”

“…. bye”

Reina felt a big rock on her chest because Harima didn’t say "I love you too", she felt like Harima was beginning to drift away from their relationship so she decided to make him go to her home on Monday night, that was not their agreement but she could not think on a better way to make sure that he was not leaving her
