Chapter 232
Takamiya Mio had one hundred percent trust in Mineo. Although she knew from books that there were two categories of people in this world—good people and bad people—with her intuition as a Spirit, she could feel who truly cared for her in this world.
Mio really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by Mineo; it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say she loved this feeling. So even though she stood before him with no secrets, Mio felt her heart was very happy.
Under Mineo's guidance, Takamiya Mio soon took off the maid uniform she was wearing. After changing into the pure white one-piece dress and putting on the silver-white high heels, Mio instantly transformed from a cute maid into a girl of pure elegance.
Her silver-white hair draped casually over her shoulders, and her silhouette in the mirror was so perfect it defied description. Takamiya Mio looked at the clothes on her body, then asked in a small voice:
"Is this enough? Do I not look strange?"
"Why would you look strange? Mio yourself is very beautiful, you'd look good in anything, and this type of clothing suits you perfectly. You look like a Saintess from a fairy tale!"
"However, you're still missing a bag and a necklace. Come, I'll go get the rest of the items for you!"
Hearing Mineo's words, Takamiya Mio nodded slowly. She showed a pure smile and held the edge of her skirt.
"If Mineo-kun likes it, I will wear these clothes from now on! These gifts... I will definitely treasure them!"
After changing and leaving the clothing store, Takamiya Mio's face—pure as water—once again drew many gazes. Feeling the stares of the people around her, Mio's face was adorned with an innocent smile.
This time, she was used to the gazes of those around her. After walking a few steps following Mineo, Mio's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Hmm? Why aren't you walking anymore, is something wrong?"
Seeing Takamiya Mio stop her pace, Mineo also stopped. Takamiya Mio watched several couples walking together while holding hands on the street, then asked Mineo softly:
"Are they 'lovers' like the ones mentioned in the books?"
"It seems so. Why did Mio suddenly ask about that?"
"Mio also wants to walk while holding hands with Mineo-kun!"
Takamiya Mio turned her gaze to the side shyly.
"The book says that lovers who are together will feel happiness. So, I also want to feel what that kind of feeling is like."
"You just wanted to say that?"
Seeing the slight blush appearing on Takamiya Mio's face, Mineo showed a smile. He reached out his hand and took Takamiya Mio's small hand in his.
"Being able to hold Mio's hand, I feel very happy too."
"Yes, then we will keep holding hands! Mio doesn't want to be apart from Mineo-kun..."
Seeing the hope shining in Takamiya Mio's face, Mineo reached out his other hand to tuck a strand of her beautiful silver hair behind her ear.
"I think so too. Didn't Mio wonder what gift I was going to give you earlier?"
"Come with me!"
While holding Takamiya Mio's soft, white hand, Mineo took her directly to a mobile phone store. Since the Dimensional Restaurant had a time limit for temporary guests, the best way was to make Takamiya Mio his friend.
That way, he could maintain communication and nurture a relationship with Takamiya Mio, and through chatting with her, he could fully unlock access to the Date A Live world. At that time, Mineo would be able to go see his other wives.
"Mineo-kun, is this what is called a 'mobile phone' in books?"
"Correct. This is a phone. I plan to buy it and then give it to you as a gift!"
After spending a moment, Mineo quickly bought a phone and a SIM card. After setting it up, he taught Takamiya Mio several methods of using the phone.
After leaving the mobile phone store, Mineo brought Takamiya Mio back home.
"Mio, sit on the sofa for a moment; I want to talk to you about something."
"Yes!"
Hearing Mineo's words, Takamiya Mio sat on the sofa obediently. Her calm and submissive appearance was very enchanting. After Mineo sat down beside Takamiya Mio, he said to her:
"Mio, the words I am about to say next are very important, you must remember them well!"
"Because my restaurant has a specific restriction, once the 24-hour mark is reached, you will be transported back to the world where you were born!"
"The world I am in now is very far from your world; crossing over normally would be a bit difficult."
Before Mineo could finish speaking, Mio spoke up immediately with anxiety and restlessness:
"But... Mio doesn't want to go back!"
"Mio likes being here; I don't want to be apart from Mineo-kun at all!"
"Mineo-kun... is there really no way to make me stay here?"
"Mio, don't rush!"
"Of course there is a way to stay!"
"And as long as you cooperate well, you can basically return to my side within a few days!"
"This phone is the medium that connects our two worlds!"
"I have already added the two of us as friends!"
"Even if you return to the world where you were born, we can keep an eye on each other through chatting slowly."
"As our chatting frequency increases, I will be able to gain the ability to go to your world."
"At that time, even until the end of the world, as long as Mio is willing, you can be with me forever."
"There is still some time before you return; I will teach you how to use the phone as quickly as possible."
Hearing Mineo's explanation, Takamiya Mio was finally able to calm down. She now knew the importance of the phone. If she wanted to return to Mineo's side and be with him forever, she had to master the method of using the phone as soon as possible.
So at this moment, Takamiya Mio studied very seriously. In less than an hour, she had memorized all the phone's functions perfectly!
Soon, points of white light appeared on Takamiya Mio's body. This was the sign that she was about to be summoned back! As if having a premonition in her heart, Mio's face turned slightly pale.
"Am I... am I going back?"
"Yes, the time has come, Mio. But don't be afraid; we can meet in a few days... After Mio returns to the world over there, take good care of yourself!"
"I... I will definitely chat with Mineo-kun more..."
At the last moment, Heaven knows where Takamiya Mio found the courage, but she quickly ran forward a few steps. She hugged Mineo's body tightly. Mineo also immediately pulled her into an embrace.
And so, within Mineo's arms, Takamiya Mio's figure gradually disappeared!
