Chapter 68 - Date with Emi and final result.

Chapter 68

"Where are we going first, Izumi?" Emi asked eagerly.

"I've asked the receptionist at the hotel what should we visit in Milan. She recommended a few places to visit. But first, we'll go to the Ca'Lore to attend Pizza cooking class." I said.

"I've always wanted to try making Pizza in Italy!" Emi answered with an excited smile.

"Right? It's something even me want to try once." I answered understandingly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Emi takes my hand and stopped a taxi and told the driver to take us to Ca'Lore.

Even before Emi arrived, someone has been tailing me or should I say, us. Initially, I wanted to scare him or her away but after looking at a slight silver hair, I decided not to. Incidentally, she also entered a taxi behind us.

Looks like she is curious about romance but as she doesn't have any partner she tailed us to see it with her own eyes. It's not like we're doing something bad anyway. Even so, I can imagine her making an excuse like 'This is for the peace of Milan! Yes, that's right. I do this for Milan!'

When we arrived, I immediately take Emi to register our name for the Pizza cooking class. Fortunately for us, the class just about to start so we can directly participate in that class.

Because we're not in Japan, I didn't use my health mask. Most likely someone who recognizes me was those who like classical music.

Most participants were girls, but of course, there are some men too. Most of them also tourists who are interested to see how Pizza is made in its birth country. Liliana, who tailed us, also entered the cooking class with a health mask and fashionable hat covering her face and hair.

The chef already instructed us how to make Pizza. Right now we're going to try making it ourselves. Many participants form a group to make it together while some of them do it alone since they didn't bring their friends.

Naturally, Emi and I were in a group, and our cooking spot was quite far from the chef. Meanwhile, Liliana was alone in the table across us.

"Ne, Emi look here." I mischievously said as I place pizza dough on my hand.

"What is it, Izumi?" Emi looked at me and wonderingly said. At that moment I gently place the dough on her forehead.

*Tak*

"Wha-?" Emi looks surprised and taking the dough from on her forehead with a reddened cheek.

"Hahaha, you look adorable, Emi." I laughingly said.

"Mou! Take this!" Emi poutingly said then immediately wanted to do the same thing to me.

"Eit, you missed." I evaded her hand that holding the dough and said with a smirk.

Before Emi was able to complain, the chef came to our table to look for our progress. Needless to say, even while joking with each other we properly did the steps she instructed us. Meanwhile, Emi is looking at me with a pout when I explained to the chef. Honestly, it was so adorable.

Liliana looked at us who flirt openly while making a Pizza with warm eyes and a bit of jealousy. In the end, our Pizza was made and it was quite delicious. Liliana also finished hers, turns out she got talent in it and the chef praised her happily.

"That was fun! I think we did quite a good job for that Pizza." Emi joyfully said.

"Indeed, it's quite delicious." I nodded approvingly and said.

"Where will we go next?" Emi excitedly asked.

"Next, let's visit the famous place where Da Vinci's The Last Supper displayed," I answered.

We visited Santa Maria delle Grazie, the church with Da Vinci's The Last Supper. We eagerly took many photos of the church and selfied ourselves at someplace in the church.

After that, we went to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. It is Italy's oldest active shopping mall and a major landmark of Milan, Italy. Housed within a four-story double arcade in the center of town, the Galleria is named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy.

It was like an art gallery meets museum and shopping malls. We visited many famous brand shops from the Prada store to Versace and bought some women bags and clothing for souvenirs. Naturally, I also bought some for Emi.

Because Emi still doesn't know about magic, we requested to deliver the things we bought to the hotel. Then because it was already 5 pm and we can't back at night since Emi needs to train for tomorrow. So, we decided to go for the Navigli canal tour before heading back.

Emi sits beside me on the canal cruises while she placed her head on my shoulder. We looked at the beautiful sunset scenery with a smile on our face while the canal cruises run smoothly.

"Do you have fun today, Emi?" I asked with a smile.

"Nn! This is most likely the fourth happiest day of my life." Emi nodded and said.

"Why fourth?" I wonderingly asked.

"Hehe, that's because the third is when you accepted me at that time. The second will be the time I stand in the same stage with you." Emi smilingly said.

"And the first?" I asked with a smile.

"That���s the day when we officially connected. Of course with my other sisters too." Emi answered with a beaming smile.

"*Chuckled* You really are adorable, Emi." I affectionately patted her head and said.

Emi didn't say anything just closed her eyes with her head on my shoulder with a joyful smile. It goes without saying, Liliana was still tailing us on the seat near us.

"Well after this, I will be a strict teacher, okay?" I said.

"Sure thing, sensei! I will do my best. How about invite Liliana-chan too? She is a big fan of yours after all." Emi answered with determined eyes then casually suggested.

"Are you fine with that? She is your enemy for tomorrow, though?" I curiously asked.

"We might be an enemy tomorrow, but we're still a friend after all. Besides, I don't feel like losing with you being here cheering for me." Emi said with a smile.

"Haha, then we should ask the person herself. How about it, cute stalker-chan?" I smirked and asked as I looked at Liliana who sits in the two seats behind us. Incidentally, the seat between us is empty, so I can look at her directly. Hearing that, Liliana panicked and averted her eyes.

"Eh, Liliana-chan is here?" Emi said with a surprised expression as she looked at Liliana behind us.

"Don't avert your eyes, Liliana-chan," I smirked and said. In response, Liliana about to bow her head to apologize.

"Stop, don't bow your head here. Look around." I stopped her and said. Then Liliana looks at her surroundings and saw people looking at her weirdly. She lowered her head embarrassedly.

"For the time being, come to the seat behind us," I said. Then Liliana stands up and sits directly behind us.

"I-I'm sorry, Lord Kitahara..." Liliana apologized with a blushed cheek because of her embarrassment.

"It's fine If I want you to stop I already tell you before our date start." I casually said.

"Uuu... D-does that means you know from the start?" Liliana asked.

"Of course, I just think it was fine if it's you, right Emi?" I said.

"Nn, but you can just greet us you know. I will bring you too." Emi said.

"B-but, I will just be the third-wheel if I do that," Liliana said.

"Hehe, so you think like that. Thanks, I guess." Emi laughingly said.

"Anyway, how about it? Want me to instruct you together with Emi?" I asked.

"C-can I?! Yes, please! It is an honor!" Liliana excitedly said.

"There you get it. Looks like you will need to teach two people, Izumi." Emi smilingly said.

"*Chuckled* Not a problem." I confidently said.

After that, we went back to the hotel which Emi and Liliana stay together. When I instructed both of them in Piano, Emi's friends who also entered the competitions with her looking at Liliana and Emi with envy. Even their teacher also looked at them with envy.

I decided to instruct them together just for this time. All of them are girls and a fan of mine. For that reason, they're always blushing when I was near. Even so, they played the Piano determinedly, and that made me happy for some reason.

---

The contestant performed beautifully in the final. Especially Liliana and Emi. Liliana's performance was more beautiful than her previous performance. Looks like the lesson was effective. But, Emi was far above her. Her performance was full of happiness feeling poured in it.

Every audience hearing her performance with a smile on their face. Some people cried happily. Not only audiences, but even other participants can also feel the happiness she poured onto the song.

The result was as expected with Emi as the winner. Even other participants willingly admit her performance was above them and clapped their hands to respect her.

It was the night after the end of the competition. I will be heading back to Japan tomorrow. Emi and her friends also heading back to France at the same time. When I was thinking, suddenly someone knocked on the door of my room. I stand up from the bed and opened it. It was Emi.

��C-can I sleep together with you?" Emi shyly asked. She brought a small bag with her which I assume was her pajama.

"*Chuckled* Sure thing," I smilingly said.

Emi went to the bathroom and change to her Pajama. I laid down on the bed while waiting for her.

"Hehe, come here Emi. You must be tired today." I patted the space beside me and said.

"Nn..." Emi shyly nodded then slowly laid down beside me on the bed with her head facing me.

"Good work today, Emi." I caressed her head and smilingly said.

"Thank you... I'm going to work hard so my dream will come true faster..." Emi said with a gentle smile.

"I know, but don't forget to rest okay? I will visit your school one day just to make sure you rest well." I said.

"Hehe, I am looking forward to that," Emi answered.

"You should, hehe. Well, you should sleep now, or do you want a good night kiss?" I smirked and said.

"Nn..." Emi shyly nodded. Then without saying anything I gently pulled her face to mine and kissed her lips. After that, I placed her head on my chest and hug her.

"Good night, Emi," I said with a gentle smile.

"Good night, Izumi..." Emi answered with a blissful smile and a reddened cheek.
