༺Chapter 20༻

"Aiko!" Emi gasps.

"H-Hey Aik, stand up will ya?! You don't have to be sorry to me or anything, trust me I get it!"

Standing back up, the female sent him a grin and nods once in acknowledgment.

"Oh, welcome back!" Chiho greets as the group of four enter back into the apartment.

"Are you okay Mr. Maou, Ms. Aiko?"

"Yeah, we're fine," The female answers.

"But Chi, why did-?"

"Take a look at this first Mr. Maou!" She gestures to the laptop in front of her.

As Aiko begins to walk over to the purple haired boy sitting the floor back against the wall, she saw Chiho showing Maou the recording Emi got.

"Hey you," She sat down beside him.

"Hey," he responds.

"I don't think I ever properly thanked you,"

"For what?"

"Saving me, of course! I owe you my life, dude,"

"Oh...Don't mention it. Nothing would've stopped me from doin' it anyway,"

"Well I'm glad you like me enough to keep me on your side," She chuckles.

Urushihara's eyes widened slightly and his mouth opened as if he was about to say something. But couldn't. His mouth then immediately shut before Chiho's voice spoke a little louder.

"I was wondering about something though..." she turns towards the two on the floor, "How old are you, Mr. Urushihara?"

"Huh?" He utters, caught off guard.

'Uh oh...'

"Here in Japan, I mean," Aiko saw him visibly relax.

"I think I put him down as eighteen. He's such a child so..." Maou explains.

"Oh! So he's still a minor then!" Chiho exclaims happily. Aiko held back a chuckle at Maou's comment. Which didn't go unnoticed by the boy beside her.

"Shut it, pipsqueak," he told her.

"Pipsqueak?! We are the same size!"

"Only cause of your shoes. Naturally, I'm two centimeters taller."

"Bastard..." Hara sent a not-so-subtle smirk her way as she fumed.

"Well, at least I'm older!"

"Older? Are ya crazy? I've got millennia on you-"

"No no, I mean here on Earth,"

"What?! how the hell are you older?"

Aiko was the one smirking now.

"I had to make myself 20 in order to legally rent an apartment. So, ha!"

Hara narrowed his eyes at her.

"Wait, so could we return that transmitter he bought too?" Maou said, continuing the conversation that the other two weren't paying attention to.

"That was on your card wasn't it? Not gonna happen." Emi answers, unsympathetically.

"That device did save me, Ms. Yusa, and Ms. Aiko though..." Chiho stands and faces the purple haired boy. She bows slightly, "I'm sorry about earlier, Mr. Urushihara. You saved the day for all of us, but I said some really mean things..."

Aiko glances over and saw her love's face completely warped into shock. His cheeks lightly dusted pink. He stutters when starting his sentence and looks off to the side.
