Date?

Chapter 27

Even if her lesson was too much for Sirius to handle at once, Eina couldn't stop herself from doing it this way.

"Well, I understand your situation, Sirius! Why don't you come to me another day when you're free so that we can review our previous lesson."

Eina compromised after seeing his pitiful expression. She didn't want to press him too hard; otherwise, the result would be contrary to her expectation.

"I'm very glad to hear that, Eina! I think I need some time to digest today's lesson. I'll visit you once I'm done with this."

Sirius was thrilled to see her compromise and promised to visit her some other day.

"Well, don't forget your words, Sirius!" Eina adjusted her glasses and reminded.

"Don't worry, Eina! I'm a man of my words…."

Grumble!

Sirius was about to continue boasting, but suddenly his stomach started protesting in hunger.

"Ah…" Sirius was very embarrassed in this situation. His face started reddening due to shame.

So, he hurriedly covered his stomach with both hands, trying to reduce the noise.

"Pfft…There's no need to feel so embarrassed, Sirius! Let me invite you to a meal. It's your reward for not skipping the class…." Eina giggled and invited him to a meal.

"Eina, I really want to refuse your invitation out of courtesy, but I'm too hungry to reject such a good offer." Sirius showed her an embarrassed expression.

"There's no need for courtesy, Sirius! If you consider me to be your friend, let's have lunch together!" Eina didn't allow him to refuse and forced him to accept.

"Well, if you put it this way, I have no other choice but to accept. But, I still have a question!" Sirius quickly compromised after looking at her serious expression.

"Eh, what is it?" Eina asked him curiously.

"I'm wondering if this is a date invitation? If so, then you're quite bold, Eina!" Sirius tried to look serious while saying this making the half-elf bewilder.

"E-Eh!? D-Date!? T-This is not a date! T-This is just a normal appointment, okay? Please don't misunderstand!" Eina stammered and retorted with a blushing face.

She didn't have such intention while asking him out.

"Pfft… I was just joking! Your panicked expression is so cute, Eina!"

Sirius's serious expression crumbled instantly, and he couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud.

After Eina heard his laugh, her expression chilled down.

"Humph! Don't joke about such a topic! I never expected you to be a naughty type, Sirius!" Eina gave him an angry stare making him stop laughing immediately.

"I'm sorry, Eina! Don't be angry! Please forgive me for my mistake!" Sirius honestly apologized after seeing her angry look.

Eina looked at his heartful apology and quickly dispelled her anger.

In truth, she felt some heartbeat when Sirius asked her the question. After all, she has no experience in romance.

"Fine then! Let's leave this place and head out for lunch!" Eina tried to change the topic, and Sirius also followed her action.

"Okay, Eina! I'll follow your lead!" Sirius nodded.

Then, Sirius and Eina both left the office and headed outside.

It was afternoon, and a few people were in front of the reception hall.

They quickly passed by the counter and met with the human clerk, Misha.

Eina informed her pink-haired friend of her departure and received a teasing glance from her.

"I understand, Eina! Have a good time with your new boy…friend!" Misha didn't forget to tease her serious half-elf companion.

The blushing half-elf beauty didn't respond to her tease but dragged Sirius out of the building.

After walking down the main street for some time, the embarrassed half-elf finally managed to calm down and released Sirius's hands.

"I'm sorry for that, Sirius. My friend, Misha, always teases me. So, please don't misunderstand, okay?"

Eina didn't forget to remind him. She had a serious expression making him want to bully her more.

"Eina, you are too serious! I can obviously see the playful attitude of Misha." Sirius didn't want to make her further angry, so he honestly explained.

"Eh, it's better then… So, where do you want to go for lunch?" Eina chuckled sheepishly and tried to change the topic.

"I'm fine with any place. The decision is in your hand, Eina!" Sirius said, making Eina ponder.

At this moment, Eina suddenly caught sight of a cafe nearby.

"Look there! It's a cafe! Why don't we go there for lunch?" Eina quickly made the decision but still asked for his opinion.

"Sounds good, Eina!" Sirius nodded to her proposal.

"Let's go then, I'm also starting to feel hungry!" Eina said while walking toward the cafe with Sirius.

…

They entered inside and found a place to sit in the corner.

The cafe looked neat and clean with few customers at the moment.

Not long after taking their seat, a young cat woman wearing a waitress uniform came to their side for an order.

"Guests-nya! Can you tell me your order-nya?" The cat-woman didn't forget to add a unique suffix to her words. It is a common thing special to cat people.

"Well, is there any specialty?" Eina didn't find any menu nearby, so she simply asked the waitress for her opinion.

"Of course, there is-nya! Our apple pie is one of the best in Orario-nya!" The cat-woman also didn't forget to advertise her working place.

"Well then, I'll have a cup of black tea and an apple pie. What about you, Sirius?" Eina quickly gave her order and asked the boy.

The cat-woman skillfully wrote Eina's order in a paper and looked at the blond youth.

"I'm feeling very hungry, so please give me two plates of apple pie. Also, I would like to have a cup of coffee please." Sirius didn't waste any time giving his order.

"I've written down your orders-nya! Please sit down and wait for it patiently. I'll be back real soon-nya!" The cat-woman also wrote his order.

"Thank you, miss waiter!" Sirius didn't forget to be polite, making the cat-woman smile.

"It's no problem-nya! This is my job after all-nya!" After saying this, the cat-eared waitress left their place, leaving Eina and Sirius some ample time alone.

They looked at each other, feeling unaccustomed to the sudden silence.

Eina was getting more nervous, so she decided to end the silence.

"Well…Sirius, since you managed to join Loki Familia successfully, how do you feel? Also, you must have been to the dungeon today. Is everything okay?"

Eina had no idea how to start a conversation, so she picked up some formal topics.

"Well, Loki Familia is a great place for newcomers. Every member of the familia is nice and treats me well." Sirius had a smile on his face while saying this.

"I'm glad to hear that, Sirius. Let me congratulate you again for joining a suitable familia." Eina was pleased to hear his words.

"Hehe, thank you, Eina! And about the dungeon, I went in with a level 4 senior of my familia. I had a good time exploring the dungeon and fighting monsters thanks to his presence." Sirius didn't forget to mention Raul while saying this.

He didn't want her to know about his deeper dungeon exploration. Otherwise, he will only get an earful of reprimand.

"Well, if you're with a level 4 adventurer, it should be fine. I won't have to worry about your safety!" Eina was relieved to hear this.

"Thanks for worrying about me, Eina!" Sirius felt warm to see her worries. Having someone care for him is truly a heartwarming feeling in this world.
