Trip to the Museum

Ryuji laughed. "Me get hurt? I guess I haven't told you yet, I am going to enter the Worlds Swordsmanship Tournament in a couple of weeks. I have been doing a special training and have overcome normal human strengths!" He stood up upon this last statement, but then looking at Namide he sat back down. "But...if you are that worried about it...I supposed it is your choice in the end."

She shook her head. "I didn't mean physically. I meant emotionally." She looked up at him. "If we continued dating and say hypothetically for the rest of our lives you would see me stop physically aging when I look 25 while you would continue to age. You would die before me and I would witness that."

"Well, that sounds like you would be more hurt than I would." Ryuji sighed. "But I guess seeing you hurt would hurt me as well."

She smiled and hugged him. "Ryuji-San. It's your choice right now if you want to continue or not." She then looked down. "I'll understand if your worried of hurting me cause I'll see you die."

"Then I shall decline for now. But tell you what. I will go out with you again after I WIN the tournament. As long as you believe in me, I know I could do it easily!" Ryuji looked her in the eyes. "And maybe, you will be stronger then too."

She looked at him her eyes watering a bit. "I...See" She then smiled and hugged him. "I...got to go. I'll see you back at school tomorrow Ryuji-San." She got up and took her coffee-milk with her while leaving the museum and heading towards the park.

"See ya later."
Ryuji, left all alone, was then surrounded by his fangirls.
Earnest and Emma tried their best to hold them back but to no avail.
'Run Captain!' yelled Emma.
Ryuuji leaped up and caught himself on a balcony over looking the gallery. "Phew that was close." Ryuji thought to himself. "Now I definitely must win the tournament. If not for my sake then for hers."
