Hilda entered Café Ange. The redhead turned her head around the crowded small building, as if looking for something—or, to be precise, someone. Her twin tails danced with the small movements of her head. She was about to walk further into the café when she spotted Momoka just a few steps ahead.

"Momo—"

"Momoka-san! Momoka-san!" Hilda quickly stopped herself as she saw that Ange's personal maid was quickly surrounded by some young DRAGON girls. Their high-pitched shrieks quickly drew the attention of the whole café costumers. Of course, thought the redhead, just the usual. Hilda knew that just like her, those girls were also looking for someone. But the one they were looking for was obviously different.

"Eh? Um… welcome?" Momoka responded nervously, taken aback by the girls' excitement. "What can I do for you?"

"Have you seen Tusk-san anywhere?" one of the girls asked—wait, no, shrieked. Hilda grunted. Couldn't they just be calmer?

"He doesn't seem to be here!" another followed, turning her head around.

Unintentionally, the redhead also turned her head around the room once again, looking for Tusk. He was usually easy to be spotted, being the only male in the island. They were right. He wasn't here either. The answer quickly came to Hilda, who was looking for Ange. If the two of them weren't here at the same time, that could mean…

"Eh… I think I saw him with Angelise-sama earlier," Momoka answered slowly, confirming Hilda's thoughts. See?

"Eeeeeh… Ange-san?"

Hilda had to hold herself from laughing. Just the mention of Ange and Tusk's name in one sentence could quickly change Tusk's fangirls' exciting shrieks to sighs of disappointment. Oh yes, that guy had somehow formed himself a fan club ever since the Embryo defeat without his own intention. Unknown to her why, but the girls never seemed to be brave enough to get close to Tusk when he was with Ange, when they would usually surround him the second they spotted him.

I'll just come back later, Hilda thought to herself, turning her body to the same door she entered from, sighing heavily as she left.

***
Tusk's heavy sigh got Ange turning her head his way. The young man smiled to her as he took his place next to her and gently grabbed her hand with his.

"Sorry I took so long," he said with yet another sigh.

"Being popular sounds very tough," Ange responded with a chuckle.

Tusk shrugged. "They just never leave me alone. It's getting quite troublesome."

"So you say. You like it, don't you?" Ange replied.

"I told you, I—"

Ange stopped him with her index finger on his lip. "Just kidding," she said, giggling a little. It's always fun to tease Tusk once in a while. Ange's rosy lips formed a small smile as she let the gentle sea breeze tickle her face. It's been two months since they defeated Embryo and lived here, in the True Earth. Although she did say that she didn't care of how those in the Other Earth will continue living without the creepy narcissist guiding them now, she couldn't lie to herself—there were a few things that she missed from there.

"It's a shame we could never get back there anymore," she stated suddenly, breaking the silence.

"I know," Tusk replied, quickly understood what Ange meant by 'there'—the place that became the reason why they now liked spending time by the beach, simply to recall their memories there, in that certain place. "That island kept so many memories after all."

"Truth to be told, I couldn't really recall any good memories—you know, getting bitten by snake and everything. Then the second time I went there, I've just seen you exploded with my own eyes."

Ange felt his grip on her hand tightened. "I'm sorry."

"You hopeless thing," she grunted. "Make me worry like that again and I'll never forgive you."

"I won't," Tusk replied quickly. "I promise."

Ange closed her eyes shut. She could feel that Tusk was getting closer and closer. He brushed his lips on hers lightly which Ange quickly responded to.

"Angelise-sama!" Momoka's sudden intrusion unintentionally made the two distanced themselves from each other by surprise.

"What is it?" Ange quickly responded, getting to her feet.

Momoka, upon seeing how the two seemed somewhat awkward with her presence, quickly realized that the two might had been in the middle of something when she came, so she lowered her head. "I'm so sorry, Angelise-sama! I didn't know—"

"It's fine, Momoka. What is it?" Ange walked to her.

"Um, Salamandinay-san said she needed you with something,"

"Salako? I wonder what it is," Ange said, more to herself. She nodded to Tusk, gesturing a 'see you later', and quickly went to the direction of the Temple with quick steps.

Tusk shrugged lightly as he got to his feet, thinking that he'd better go back to the café. Momoka once again lowered her head. "I'm really sorry, Tusk-san!"

"Chin up, it's fine," the young man replied with a smile. "Let's go! The café needs us."

Momoka was about to follow Tusk's quick steps, when she suddenly remembered something. "Tusk-san," she called.

"What is it?"

"Actually…"
