“thanks for the food Annabel”

“it feels like it was an eternity since the last time we shared dinner”

“yea”

Harima then went to take a shower and Annabel stayed at his home and then she looked at Harima clothes and yes, it was bound to happen, they live almost together like a couple and the wish was affecting Annabel, she grabbed Harima clothes and started to smell them

“tell me this is not natural Samael”

“I told you that you were too young to understand”

“someone is coming”

Hikoboshi and Anne appeared next to Benten and Samael, Benten was surprised and hid behind Samael, Anne looked cute on the celestial yukata that Hikoboshi lent her

“what are you doing Benten?”

“can’t they see us?”

“he is younger than you so yes, he can’t see you or feel you and Anne is just a born god at this moment so she can’t either”

“what do you mean?”

“gods age defines the level of their wisdom, Hikoboshi is fairly younger than you by maybe two hundred years so he is not wise enough to feel you, that’s why the creator can control all of us, he has no beginning”

“how come I can feel you then? You are pretty older than I”

“you were on my plan baby, that’s why”

Benten blushed while Samael grabbed her chin

“is this the effect of my wish?”

“I don’t really know, remember that she was attracted to Harima a little bit before you made the wish”

“so, did my wish boost what she feels now for Harima?”

“I don’t know”

Benten was really angry to listen that Hikoboshi could not give a good answer

“see? He is not smart enough, no wonder there is a curse on him and Orihime, now that I think about it, the curse that is on them was because of the same love that Harima wants”

“what do you mean?”

“Orihime and Hikoboshi were hard workers at some point until they meet each other and completed their love, and then they started to slack off on their jobs and then they were victim of the curse”

Back to Harima and Annabel

Annabel noticed that Harima was out of the shower and he was coming with just a towel on his neck, he was wearing sport pants

“OH MY GOD PUT SOME CLOTHES”

“oh, you are still here?”

Annabel could not resist turn on while seeing Harima body

“look, I’ll be out for a bit tonight so we won’t be able to play”

“where are you going?”

“I’m going to see my girlfriend?”

Annabel froze like a rock

“WHAT????”

“sorry I didn’t tell you, I have a girlfriend now”

She ran to him and grabbed him from his shoulder

“HOW????”

“it just happened”

Annabel felt the shoulders of Harima and realized that she was touching Harima skin and turned red

“are you ok? You seem quite red; do you have fever?”

Harima placed his forehead against her and she fainted on his arms, Benten made a face of disappointment because she noticed how Harima was playing with Annabel and Samael was just laughing while Miguel and Gabriel were playing shogi

Couple of hours later

Annabel woke up and on the table next to his bed, | wait, it should not be her bed? no, because it was Harima bed, | a note from Harima

“don’t wait for me, you can stay at my bed if you want, hope you feel better”

She blushed as she read because she thought he was taking care of her for once

At Reina Place

Reina was resting on Harima naked chest, Harima was watching the ceiling of Reina room

“so, what are our plans now?”

“I would like to present you to my friends first”

“what about your parents?”

“they live at Sapporo”

With the money that Harima received from Alejandra he could easily buy a house for his parents at Sendai but he was still thinking what to do next because it was the first time that he got this far in a relationship, next step would be marry her but Harima was not ready for that yet, he didn’t have any plans for the future because he was not able to see him past the girlfriend and boyfriend status, so everything from now it was a brand-new experience for him

Tuesday July 11th

Harima went with Reina for some drinks with Harima friends

“Aston Beer is united again”

“we should change the name to Brewers United”

“that sound pretty lame even for you Jin”

Reina was not introduced properly from the start, it was like she was being ignored by Harima

“tell me now who is unfair Benten”

Samael and Benten were watching the whole reunion, Reina was expecting that Harima could tell his friends that she was his girlfriend, he was avoiding the chances to do it, she felt really uncomfortable and went to the bathroom

“where did you get that girl Harima?”

“knowing you is someone you hired as a girlfriend just for looks”

“c’mon guys, I’m not that low”

Reina was coming closer and she heard

“she is not my girlfriend guys”

Benten and Samael noticed that Reina listened those words

“what is the meaning of this?”

“look, Reina was being nice to him this whole time, she was doing what she thought was correct, Harima accepted that treatment from her but he tasted the pleasure of body language and fulfilled his true goal about what he thought love was, now he is uncertain of what he wants”

“what? What about Reina now?”

“her goal is different, she is aiming for something higher than what Harima has to offer”

“why is she not being affected by Anne wish?”

Samael looked at Benten and she then realized

“the wish has a rule, he has to feel love for someone to make the person love him as well”

“are you telling me that Harima love for Reina is gone?”

“he already accomplished his goal with her, is pretty common on humans, they reach the top and what is left is to fall from the top”

Back to Harima and friends

“Oh, Reina you are back”

Reina whispered to Harima ear

“look, I’m not feeling well, I have to go”

“we can’t leave just like that Reina”

she was starting to cry

“guys, we have to go”

“oh man, take care then”

Harima grabbed Reina hand and walked out

“what happened to you?”

“that’s what I want to know”

“what do you mean?”

“why didn’t you tell them that I was your girlfriend?”

“look…….”

“if you don’t tell them they will think that I’m another type of girl”

Harima could not answer because he was a total coward

“I’m going home”

Reina left Harima and then Harima started walking to where his motorcycle was and the image of Yamiko appeared in front of him

“yo! Harima, it’s been a while”
