You’ve broken all ties with her—

…is what you’d like to say.

Because even though the two of you are no longer dating, here you are, sitting beside her, listening to Sanae go on about how the two of you should get back together. Things like:

“You two were an unstoppable pair!”

Reimu stopped the two of you.

“Eh… Ah! You were such a cute couple!”

The height difference is similar to a very tall man and his daughter. (You aren’t the man)

“Uuu…” The poor shrine maiden would sulk, only finding all the pros she listed to have a con to go along with. “T-Then go on a date!”

…Hm?

“You heard me, a date! Your fiery love will surely spark once more if you go on a date!” You’d give Kanako a look, and she’d give you one back. But you both love this shrine maiden like a daughter, so you both oblige. Sanae, would then use some (all of it, actually) of the donation money to rent Mystias Izakaya out for a whole 5 hours!

So now here you are, face to face with your former lover. You can tell the tension is real, because Mystia is too nervous to come out from behind the counter and offer drinks. So it’s just you, Kanako, and the grilled lamprey in front of you. Kanako would exhale, this is as awkward for you as it is for her.

“…We should at least try, for Sanae. I don’t want Moriya Shrine to fall apart over this. It’d be a bad look for us gods, we’d lose faith, and donations, and the such.”

Good point… You don’t want to end up like that poverty goddess. Sorry, Shion.

“Good. That being said…” She’d feel around under the table to take your hand in hers, and pull it onto the table. She’d hold it there. “Treat this as if this were our first date. You remember how that went, don’t you?”
