Chapter 96 - We are almost friends already.

After I sat down, I waited for the waitress to approach me and ordered some stuff: meat and beer. Bell did the same thing. He was uncomfortable because he didn't seem used to this.

Unlike me. I was looking at Ais directly in her eyes. She was looking at me and analyzing me. Does she think I'm using magic to control them or something?

'I don't have that ability anymore, so don't worry. I don't think I would use it even if I had it.' I am already at this dinner, I need to be friendly, and it will be fine.

"So, Ais, why did you accept my dinner?" I asked, not caring that Bell was standing next to me. He seemed to know that Ais didn't like me very much.

"I don't know. I just thought it was necessary... To rule out my suspicions."

"Suspicions?"

"Yes, and you know very well what I am talking about. Because we talked that time." Ais started to talk about her order to the waitress, but she kept listening to me, so I didn't hesitate to speak.

"Tiona told me that you had your eye on me. So, did you find out what you wanted? Or was it disappointing?"

"No, I didn't find anything."

"Huh?" Bell looked confused beside me, so I hugged his neck.

"Don't worry, Bell. Ais isn't with her eyes on me because of what you're thinking." I gave a sarcastic smile. Bell's face turned red, and he began to stutter as he tried to avoid the conversation.

"Did you want this dinner because you want to get closer to us? That's disgusting." It was Bete's turn to say something. "I don't like you. You're weird. You always act suspicious, and you put your hands on Tiona!"

"Who says I put my hands on her? We're just friends. We met by chance in a bar, and then we started talking. Right, Tiona?"

"Hm? Oh, that's right. Luan was always nice to me, and it was fun hanging out with him too." Her face turned a little red. I understand what she means by fun.

"See, I didn't do anything with your friend. Suddenly, Ais came to me, accusing me of some outrageous things. I've been wondering what got her thinking that." I smiled.

"..."

"After all this time, I finally met with Tiona and talked to her about this dinner. I just wanted to show that I'm not a bad person. Bell knows I've never done anything against anyone."

"Yes, that's true. Luan is a hard-working man. He is much stronger than I am now. His growth is scary; he reached level two even faster than I did."

"Don't praise me so much. Since I stopped meeting with Tiona, I've entered the dungeon many times and greatly increased my skills. I also got a better home for our Familia. That church was depressing."

"So it was you who got that new house? Amazing." Tiona said.

"I rented it. It was a little expensive, but I can afford it. I've already made it to the 18th floor, so the rewards are pretty high."

"Yes, that's true," Tione said. She took another sip of beer. Bete, next to her, was chewing his flesh fiercely as he continued to stare at me. I was getting a little uncomfortable.

"Could you stop staring at me like that?" I gave a friendly smile.

"Like what?"

"You look like you're going to kill me any second. Control yourself a little. I already told you we're just here to eat together and talk. I have some nice stories to tell; how about that?"

"That sounds interesting. I want to hear your stories!" Tiona's eyes were sparkling.

"Whatever." Bete shrugged.

"..." Tione was silent.

"..." Ais was also silent for a few seconds before taking a sip of water. "What kind of stories?"

"Some interesting stories. Fictional stories."

"Fictional?"

"Yes, I'm sure you guys will enjoy that. I'm very good at telling stories. If Lili were here, she could confirm that."

"You never told those stories to me, Luan," Bell said curiously.

"Well, you never asked me to tell."

"But why didn't you offer to tell? You could have done that before."

"All right, wait for your food to arrive and listen. I don't mind if you guys interrupt the story to ask questions. And if you don't like it, I don't mind stopping." I gave a smile toward Ais, and she turned her face away.

I continued to tell a story for a long time. In the meantime, our food and beer had arrived. I was telling the story of "Shingeki No Kyojin.

But of course, just a summary. It is impossible to tell all the details of such a long story. Everyone seemed amazed by the story, even Ais. Tiona continued to think I had written this story.

But it wasn't me. A pity, as it would have made me a lot of money. I need to be more creative to write a very complex story. I have tried to write some fanfics online, but the result could have been better.

I received several negative comments and also some suggestions. And because of these suggestions, I added things I regretted, and many readers criticized. It was shitty for my mind.

So I stopped writing after that.

"That's amazing. But is that the end of the story?" Tione asked, already a little drunk.

"That's fucked! Why did that idiot have to die?!" Bete said with his usual tone.

"Where did you read that story, Luan? Are you sure you didn't write it? This is the first time I've seen this story. Titans..."

"I read it in a book I found in the village I used to live in. One of the villagers wrote it. Besides this one, he wrote many other stories. I can tell them to you guys if you like."

Everyone agreed to this. From then on, it was a pleasant evening in which we drank a lot and ate a lot while I told stories from my original world. Fortunately, I have a good memory.
