You need to catch up....

This was what concerned Shomei here, the fact that Cesba was displaying her powers. He had no problem with it for the most part, but the general public wasn't going to understand. And the last thing Sho wanted was to be involved in an incident, he was already taking a massive risk in spending time with her in this manner. The worst case scenario was that he'd end up getting executed to preserve the masquerade along with Cesba, the thought of that without completing that mission so long ago was one he didn't dare entertain.

Sho wasn't fazed by how she lifted herself off the ground, he'd seen stranger things during his time with Team Starmage. Still he inwardly admired the grace she displayed in doing so, a good thing she was wearing a tall dress that prevented panty peeking. Arachniphobia? In response Sho said "Can't say I've watched it, though I will take your word for it." though the former JSDF officer made a mental note to ask Lunar about it.

Once Cesba was on Sho's bike and wrapped her arms around him he took a moment to admire it, though he wondered about her tone of voice. And he lightly blushed, though it was concealed under his helmet. "Good, keep the powers concealed. And stay close, and hold tight." he said, with that he started up the motorbike and the pair were off.

Sho knew the roads quite well, the map drawn out in his mind by looking at it over and over. He would be silent for the most part, keeping his focus on driving. Before long the pair would arrive in Tokyo, Sho wanted to start things off small and simple. Bringing Cesba too much into it might be a disaster, the sun was setting by this point.

Once Sho parked his bike he removed his helmet, sighing before taking a somewhat reflective look around the place. Before turning his head to the tall woman behind him. "It's funny, I think I was at this spot 50 years ago. The place is different sure, but it's....I can't put my finger on it. Nevertheless there's a lot of bright lights here, I trust your spider vision won't be too shaken up by it correct? Welcome to Tokyo." Sho muttered as he stood up and would make sure everything was secure before taking Cesba's helmet and putting them away.

Cesba shut her eyes. She had only traveled at high speeds when in that helicopter. While this was not as fast, it was still more so than any horse drawn carriage she'd been on. Cesba made it her goal to not let go of Shomei. The spider kept those eyes closed right up until she felt the bike slow down.

When he would look at Cesba, he would see that the slide was gazing at the buildings. Her helmet in hand. Mouth agape, she looked around. Probably didnt even hear Shomei.

Shomei wondered if Cesba was listening to him right now, although he did so after he was done commenting on the city. He was silent as he looked around him, unlike Cesba who was in awe Sho felt some sadness instead. Where he looked he could have sworn there was a noodle shack there, and it had been ran by a kind family. His memories before his mission were fuzzy, but he did think he eat there the night before his departure. Though he never returned, till now at least. Was that family still around? Would they actually recognise him? He didn't know.

Still Huanle told him not to dwell on it, she was in contrast to Sho. Opposite ages and ways of life, the ex JSDF officer could admit at times he did feel like a grumpy old man in spite of his very youthful appearance. Taking action would prevent him from falling into dark thoughts again.

Sho would go near Cesba and lightly cough to get her attention, he'd smile and take her helmet off of her. Once they were secured with the bike Shomei would state "Come on Cesba, stay close to me. Let's see what we've missed out on." Sho would be bold here and link his hand with Cesba's. The better to make sure she didn't wander off.

"Very tall buildings. And such sunlight....Mych different than HomeForest...." She would half mumble to herself and say to Shomei. He took her helmet from her and then proceeded to link his hand up wih her. She knew it was for her safety. But.....

"Oh Sho..." She says in a flirty way. "I didn't tell you I like my men to be forceful, did I?" The spider giggles at her own playfulness.

Sho was being his usual polite self, officer training had come with ensuring you could be formal when it was called for. He felt this would surely come in handy in escorting Cesba around Tokyo, as well as hopefully defuse any situations that could arise if her curiosity stirred up trouble for the pair. Carlson had reminded Sho that he was responsible for her during this outing, and though any public incident would be forgotten ASAP the failure would still be on his head.

But Sho was surprised by the woman's remark to his action, her flirting to him was unexpected by the former JSDF officer. He lightly gasped, Sho felt his cheeks blush slightly. That had been so long since that had happened, to the point where Mr Akatsuki wondered if was even possible for him to do so. Nevertheless he gave a small cough before saying "Well.....good if you think so. I intend to guide you through these streets, though the buildings. Though they may appear much different than I knew them." giving her a smile after it.

With that the ageless solider would walk out the alley with Cesba, Sho had a few places recommended to him by Huanle. And he'd learned where they were, it would be best to start off small and move on to the more current things. The first thing was just down the street, so that Cesba didn't become too worried or curious by the masses of various people that wondered the streets at this hour.

The pair would wander into a manga store, Huanle was a visitor to this place often. Made sense to suggest it to Sho's tour, he'll admit he was curious about these books too. When it was reading for him it was often the classics, not manga but historical texts. "My, quite a selection here. These books are meant to be read from the other side by the way Cesba-san, interesting is it not?" Sho remarked as he assessed the shelves.

Cesba walked with Shomei, not noticing the blush produced by the officer. Her heels click on the sidewalk. She constantly looked around to take in the sights. Cesba was led into the manga store. But...She didnt see it as ine of those, really. "Why are all of the books in this library so colorful? And why read backwards? Its so much easier the normal way..."

She looks around the store with more confusion than awe.

Shomei would admit that he didn't understand this whole manga business, perhaps it was just because he never really got into it. The time before his mission tended to be hazy, he knew a few things. Trained in karate for years, knew how to shoot various guns and cook a mean ramen. It was a different time then, but Sho didn't really know much about it aside from the aforementioned stuff.

He didn't bother lamenting on it, his loved ones all passed away. He paid his respects and moved on, with Team Starmage. Cesba expressed her confusion at the way manga was to be read from back to front, and how they were mostly colourful. In response Sho gave a small chuckle before saying "The reasons elude me, I believe the first one was around 1946. Though there was another one that was more renowned in the early 50's, Astro Boy or Mighty Atom I believe it's called. I wouldn't know, my memories of that time can be fuzzy."

"That said however I can tell that effort is required to produce them. I also believe there's an erm....erotic version of this, n-not that I'd know of course. Reading such material is not befitting of one such as me, still feel free to buy a few books Cesba. You could say I have built up quite the stash of money over the years, its on me." Sho stated, that was a half lie. Sho had briefly flickered through an erotic manga before flinging it at Carlson in the past.

"All books take effort to create. They are things of beauty and shoulder be cherished for as long as the pages themselves can take it." Cesba speeches out. He then offered her something books to buy amd keep. She shook her head. "Books are beautiful, but are not my fancy, Shomei..."

The spider gives him a small wink before turning around and start I to walk out of the manga store. She would purposely sway her hips and bottom as she did walk out. Just to play with the officer a bit.

It seemed Cesba wasn't interested in procuring manga to read, Sho was inwardly worried that he might have started this on the wrong foot. Still at least she didn't hate it, and in fact gave a rather poetic description. So at least it was crisis avoided, the last thing he'd want is to make Cesba angry. That was far from his mind.

Sho did catch that wink though, he was silent as Cesba turned to exit the store. He knew he had to follow her, but she was walking in a seductive manner on purpose. Drawing eyes from the various people in the store, Shomei would admit she had a very nice body. And as disciplined as the ex JSDF officer was Sho had taken the bait and checked that backside out, before making to follow her.

The man would again link hands with Cesba, as his way of playing with her he'd lightly squeeze it before saying "Very well. I had hoped to start off small, but let's move on."

He'd walk down the street with her, drawing eyes on them as people checked out the Amazonian woman with the bishonen who was older than he really was. It was funny inwardly to Sho, but he focused on the now and before long he'd arrive with Cesba in front of a massive building.

"Now Huanle's been here before, this is an arcade. I guess the best way to think of it as a sort of modern amusement park, there's all sorts of crazy games in there." Sho says, as it was in the evening all the neon lights were showing and music was coming from the speakers and people were coming in and out of the building. But Sho made sure Cesba stayed close to him.

It was a REALLY good thing that Shomei made sure that Cesba stayed close to him. Otherwise she would have ran into the arcade to stare at the technology like a child on a sugar high. The spider blinked her eyes a few times, switching between her normal and spider vision. It was almost overwhelming to see all the color and hear all the sounds.

"M-My my...Ive seen these on the picture box. One could spend hours here, almost losing themselves in all of the splendor of electronic operated games. Much more complex than anyone I know could understand."

Cesba began to cling tighter to Shomei, seemingly a bit fearful almost. But it was a cute fear stemming from no knowledge.
