19 Chapter 19

She thought about it for a second before smiling.

"Very well, Are you ready...Leon." She asked trying to hide the bubbly feeling in her chest.

"Yep." He said with a giant smile on his face.

{ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB}

The plate underneath them Glowed brightly before both of Lucias and Leon's figures disappeared.

One moment Leon was in his house and the next he was surrounded by people and citizens of Ceilo who had used the Teleports to appear. He looked around in fascination and excitement. Finally after 8 years of waiting he was finally able to see the world, not through books or videos but his eyes.

Lucia noticing Leon's dazed state grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the platform so more people could teleport in.

"Come on...Leon, I know this is new to you but if you continue to gawk at everything you see you will look like a non-native." Lucia said, and that seemed to have brought Leon back from his gawking.

"Oh, hahaha, sorry Lucia, but it's just so cool, the people the architecture, the air...Grrrrrrrrrr" Leon froze mid-sentence, his face turned a shade of pink and he looked away from Lucia.

"Pft, Looks like you are really hungry Leon, like I said I know a place with some good food. Once you are full then we can start exploring the city."

"Ye let's do that, so where to then."

"Just follow me it's around an 8-minute walk from the station."

Leon nodded and followed Lucia, both of them not noticing the looks a few males were giving her. Or it was just they didn't care, either way, the two made their way to get something to eat.

'OMG IS THAT AN ELF, A REAL ELF!!!' Leon screamed like a little girl externally as in his line of sight he caught the Distinctive ears of an elf. Long and pointy.

He looked at the elf in wonder and fascination but quickly retracted his gaze when she started looking around.

He looked further down the street and the more he looked the more excited he became Elves, Oni, Humans, cat girls, Horse girls, and dwarfs. All types of races were walking about having a great time shopping with friends or buying groceries.

After exactly 8 minutes of walking, Leon found himself in front of a McDonald lookin Restaurant Called Nashers.

"This is the place." He looked at her in a your kidding..right, manner. He thought she would take him to a fancy restaurant or someplace with fine dining. He didn't expect a fast food chain. Not that he minded but he was just surprised." So Lucia likes going to these kinds of places too, Good to know."

" Please don't misunderstand, I just saw that a new food chain had opened up and it was pretty popular with people your age, so I thought it would be nice to take the young master but if you want."

"No this place is perfect, let's go in and try it." Leon said, already noticing Lucia doing the thing with her fingers that indicated she really wanted something."

They entered with an obviously happier Lucia.

The pair made their way to the front to order the food and a robot worker greeted them. This was quite normal as some establishments preferred to order around robot workers instead of real employees.

"Welcome to Nasheres What can I get for you today." The robot asked in a male robotic tone.

Leon looked at the menu with the picture of the corresponding item and decided on the number 29 with a side of Zellion fries and a cup of lemonade.

While Lucia decided to order the number 35 which was the Restaurants signature burger, the Nasher burger, and had A cup of water and some Zellion rings as a Side.

It took no more than five minutes before the food was all ready. They took their food and decided to head to the roof as it was a nice sunny day.

Leon found a nice spot and they sat there, looking at the food and almost drooling from the smell.

"Grrrrrrrrr." His stomach also seemed to have agreed. He first decided to try out the Zellion fries that were called so because they were planted and harvested from the planet zellion, a Ceilo-owned Planet. Instead of Your normal Brown, red or purple potatoes these were ca green color. Leon poured some salt and took his first bite.

"BOOOOOM"

IT, IT WAS DIVINE. The flavor, the texture, everything was in perfect unison. He could already imagine himself in a grain of fields when suddenly boss music appeared and from the sky, a Zellion potato with a humanoid figure appeared, and before he could react the zellion Potatoe punched him right in the mouth. But he didn't feel pain, only a punch of flavor.

Leon stretched his hand to get another chip but he realized, he had already eaten them all.'When did this happen.'

He was confused and saddened. 'Maybe I should order some more. And if the chips taste that good what about the Highland beef burger aka number 29.'

Leon hadn't noticed that Lucia was secretly taking photos of him while he was stuffing his face, he looked like a chipmunk.' Cute, the misstress is going to love these.'

While Leon was enjoying his meal Lucia also started to eat, she did Hum in surprise at the taste but besides that, there wasn't an over-exaggeration in her movements, she ate calmly and slowly just like a lady.

After 15 minutes the two had finished eating while Leon had ordered another cup of Fries. This time he ordered extra large and not small.

" So what are we doing next, what's fun to do in the city." He said ready to explore more of the city.

" Well, I was thinking we could first visit the museum of Ceilos history and then go on a tour of ceilos historic landmarks."

Slowly as Lucia continued to talk Leon's excited expression slowly morphed into that of disbelief then boredom.

" I'm just playing around, I know you well enough that you wouldn't like those places. Instead, we will first head to the Citys market district and maybe buy a few things and souvenirs, then I bought us two tickets to visit the Ceilos Aqua-marine Water park. And finally, we should be able to finish the day off with a Ride on Astraea."

The more Lucia talked the brighter Leon's gloomy face Lit with newfound excitement and a little confusion.

"Astraea what's that."Lucia paused before closing her eyes.

" In...3..2..1.."

{UGGGGHHHHHHHEEEEEE}

A sudden rumble sounded in the sky shocking Leon, it sounded like, like...A whale. Looking up he was shocked to see a 200-meter blue whale floating, no flying across the sky. Then it hit him like a bolt of lightning.

"That...is Astraea"
