Nurses and Card Games? An Unexpected Combination (For LARIATO)

Kazuma was excited to get to teaching Rizu. He looked around at the tables, trying to find one that he and the nurse could sit down at and be able to hear the other until Rizu offered a suggestion. It was just a simple thing, something that most other people would have no problem responding to...... but to Kazuma this was a bombshell! A beautiful, mature woman asking him to come to her house?! He never once dared to dream that such a thing could happen to him, not even if it was part of a POW stipulation! This was a chance that he knew he could not slip through his fingers.

"Y-Ye-Ya-Yeah sure, we could do that." Kazuma said while trying to play it cool, even after stuttering at the beginning. He would proceed to follow Rizu out the door to the store, already imagining what her home looked like while also being completely oblivious to whatever was going through Rizu's head.

Rizu giggled once more at the handsome boy’s adorable response. As commendable an effort as it was, it seemed his excitement at her suggestion was just a bit too much to keep fully contained. But with the decision made, she exited the store with him and led him back to her place.

Not too long later, the pair were arriving at a nice, two-story, modern-styled house. Rizu strode up to the front door and unlocked it, then opened it inside, slipping out of her shoes while she held the door open for Kazuma.

“Please, come in. Make yourself at home.”

Kazuma followed behind Rizu obediently like a duckling, making sure no to stray far from the kind nurse. After several minutes, the two of them would arrive at a gorgeous two-story house, and watched as Rizu approached the door and opened it. It was obvious to him at this point that this was the beautiful nurse's home. "O-Okay, I'm coming in." Kazuma nervously said as he accepted Rizu's invitation to enter her home, making sure to take off his own shoes before stepping inside and putting them in a small cubby that was at the entrance as Rizu closed the door.

Kazuma stepped in and looked around at the nurse's house, it was very clean and everything looked so modern that it made the stuff in his apartment look like junk. He saw numerous pictures hanging on the wall, some paintings others were photos of Rizu but he stopped as he noticed that there was one frame on a table on the opposite side of the room was mysteriously face down. As curious as she was about it, it probably wouldn't be nice to do it while she was in the room, so Kazuma decided to sit down at what appeared to be the dining room table and pull out a tutorial play mat for the nurse to see how a Vanguard board was set. "Are you ready, Rizu-san?" he asked.
