"Bye, Daddy," she replied, waving.

Hiro arrived at Starbucks on his off day. "I'll take an Americano and a pumpkin bread, please and thank you."

He saw a big-breasted woman behind him. She was wearing a blue Shiny Mega Dragonite shirt and blue booty shirts. "Hi. I'm Aoria Rakishi. I just moved here from Osaka. And you must be?" she asked the purple-haired stud.

"I'm Hiro Amatisto-Arabaev. I've been in Sapporo all my life, but I'm Japanese and Azerbaijani; I get the Azerbaijani from my mother. I see you like Dragonite," Hiro said. "Want a coffee?"

"Yes. But I want a flat white," Aoria requested.

"I also want a flat white please," Hiro asked. "Anything else?"

"I guess I'll take a peach cheesecake."

Hiro and Aoria sat down, waiting for their treats. "So, what do you like to do for fun?" she asked. "I like long walks on the beach, music, drawing, reading anime novels, and watching anime and most cartoons."

He replied, "I like anime as well. My favourites are Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Beyblade, Naruto, Demon Slayer, Mashle: Magic & Muscles, Blue Exorcist, Bleach, Rick and Morty: The Anime, Dragonball Daima, Dandadan, Dragonball Super, One Piece (solely for Nami), Bakugan, Digimon, and Pop Team Epic."

"I see. So, what music do you like? I like enka, anime music, and metal." Aoria went to go get their snacks and drinks. "I also like trance, K-pop, J-pop, and progressive house."

'I liiiiike big room house, riddim, dubstep, brostep, deep house, progressive house, melodic techno, big room techno, festival trap, hybrid trap, colour bass, electro house, future house, future bass, happy hardcore, hard techno, hardstyle, rawstyle, rawtrap, hard trap, cinematic bass, tearout dubstep, drum & bass, jump-up, handzup!, hard psy, psytrance, hardwave, future bounce, bass house, bassline, UK garage, uptempo, rawtempo, Dutch house, breakbeat, baile funk, liquid drum & bass, drumstep, CEDM, rawphoric, neo-hard house, moombahton, moombahcore, midtempo, jersey club, and heaven trap. I also listen to rap (mostly trap, drill, UK grime, Japanese hip-hop and Southern hip-hop), dancehall, modern pop, modern rock, and Southern soul." He sipped his Americano and bit into his bread.

Aoria forked some of his cheesecake in his mouth. "Those are a lotta genres! I like EDM stuff, too, as I stated, I do like trance and progressive house."

"Did I mention I'm a single father?" Hiro continued. "She's an adoptee from an orphanage."

"No, and when do I get to meet her?"

"After the second date. Wanna sit with each other at Guang's this Saturday? It's a huge buffet here; there's American, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cuisine there. There's also a hibachi grill there. I just need to find my daughter a sitter." The two exchanged numbers.

"Sure."

"So, have you dated before? I dated some Japanese-English girl, but she was crazy! She tried to get me fired from my job..." Hiro shared a recollection.

"I had a boyfriend named Andreas Shanaichi; he was a bum." Aoria rolled her eyes, thinking about the brokie. "Anyways, what do you do for work?"

"I do MMA, and I work at Walmart; I'm off today though, and because of a post-fight incident, I can't fight till January. Hopefully, Narshingh Johnson's healed by then; I want that title." Hiro drank the last of his cup of Joe.

"What happened?"

"A post-fight brawl betwixt Zarid Alaev and his cornermen. The guys were instigating a beef for a loooong time, since February, to be exact. I wasn't concerned by the stuff he said about me, but he brought up my daughter's molestation at a 7-Eleven and said she liked it! I pushed him down and axe-kicked him.

"Harsh! Did they apologise?"

"No," Hiro said. "Well, it's been real. I'll see you later. I gotta go take my daughter to go get bloodwork in 2 hours. I gotta get ready for that." He threw their trash away.

Aoria replied, "See you Saturday."

When they went their seperate ways, Aoria thought, 'I think I have a keeper.'

This is Aoria:
