Chapter 24: Ciel and Lily's First Meeting

Some time passed.

While waiting for their food to arrive Shirou began to teach Ciel about various things ranging from martial souls, soul beasts, and also various other knowledge. Shirou was very happy because, throughout the explanation of knowledge, Ciel listened seriously and also occasionally asked some things that were still a bit stuck in his mind. When Shirou explains about the soul ring, Ciel is very surprised because he now understands that the soul ring of Shirou or his Master is a legendary soul ring that even a Title Douluo would have trouble obtaining.

Shirou had also promised that with him being his disciple, Ciel would definitely get the same soul ring as Shirou had now. This makes Ciel very happy at the same time Shirou also asks to keep anything he gets or sees when he is in contact with Shirou except for science and others. Ciel immediately promised to keep everything a secret because he knew that if it were to spread, the two of them would likely get a lot of threats from various parties.

After waiting for some time, the food that Shirou and Ciel ordered had arrived. Shirou ate leisurely. However, for Ciel who had eaten for the first time such delicious food and also with a luxurious environment, he was full of happiness. It didn't take long for the two of them to finish eating dinner and the food that was ordered to be wrapped was also brought by the employees and handed over to Shirou.

"Teacher, who is the food for?" Ciel asked in a curious tone.

Shirou smiled as he put all the food into the storage room and said, "I have a friend who is where I live now, he can't come because he's still training. If he finds out that I went out to eat without bringing him food, he will be angry with me."

"I see." Ciel nodded.

"Ok~ Let's go now, we also still need to find your clothes that you will wear every day"

"Okay, Master"

Shirou and Ciel immediately got up from their seats and immediately walked out of the room and walked towards the front room of the cashier counter. Arriving at the cashier's desk, Shirou saw an employee on duty and immediately said, "Excuse me, I want to pay for VIP room number 7's meal fee"

The employees who saw Shirou and Ciel's arrival immediately smiled and nodded and started to calculate the entire cost of the meal. Finished counting the employees immediately said, "Little brother, a total of 350 gold soul coins"

" 350 gold soul coins?" Ciel who listened to the price of the food the two of them ate was immediately shocked.

Unlike Ciel, Shirou was very relaxed because he didn't really care about money himself. Moreover, he can easily get money whenever he wants. with him went to the Tian Dou Auction House and auctioned off some of the pills he had. Shirou was sure that the finances he had would instantly reach the lift of millions of gold coins. However, for now, Shirou didn't need a large number of gold soul coins, so he still had no plans to go auction off some of his pills.

Besides, having Shirou doing things like that would likely attract a lot of unwanted attention. Moreover, in the Douluo continent, it was still a little unfamiliar about pills, it was only possible in the Douluo continent that pills were usually used as medicine and not like increasing cultivation speed and so on.

Shirou immediately took out his Tian Dou bank card and directly paid for the entire meal the two of them ate. After finishing the payment, Shirou and Ciel immediately walked out of the Tian Dou Restaurant with Ciel still in a shocked expression.

"Is something wrong, Ciel?" Shirou asked curiously.

Ciel woke up to Shirou's question, Ciel hurriedly shook his head and said, "No. It's just, Master, isn't the food in the restaurant too expensive?"

Shirou smiled and said, "The price of the food in the restaurant is also equal to the taste and quality of the ingredients prepared by them. Unlike the other restaurants, Tian Dou Restaurant was a restaurant that was in the ownership of the Imperial family. That way the food ingredients in the restaurant are the best food ingredients and are also treated to get maximum results, because that the price of food in Tian Dou Restaurant is quite expensive. Also, the price of food is expensive because we use a private room to eat, if we use the common room on the first floor, we will probably only pay around 70 to 100 gold soul coins."

"Agh~ But Master, I also think that 70 to 100 gold soul coins are still quite expensive." Ciel expressed his opinion, especially since he was originally from the village and this was the first time he had come into contact with city life.

Shirou nodded and said "It's true, for the price of food for that amount of price it's a bit unreasonable. However, when it comes to ingredients of the highest quality, it is worth the price."

"I see." Ciel nodded.

"Besides, Ciel. You don't have to worry about your Master's finances. For Master himself, it would be very easy for me to earn a large amount of money. It's just that for now Master still doesn't have a purpose for what the money is used for."

"I see" Ciel nodded and there was also admiration in his eyes looking at Shirou.

"Okok ~ Let us quickly look for a clothing store. We need to get back, I want to see how the progress of my exercise performed. also, I want to introduce you to him "

"Okay, Master" Ciel nodded.

It didn't take long for Ciel and Shirou to find a very large and well-equipped clothing store. Shirou immediately asked the employees inside to help Ciel find suitable clothes for Ciel to wear while he just sat on a chair while waiting for Ciel to finish getting the clothes he wanted.

Ciel himself was a bit hesitant about choosing clothes. However, after Shirou reminded him that he was allowed to have any clothes and also remembered his Master's thoughts about money, Ciel immediately chose a number of clothes with a total price of 150 gold soul coins. Shirou immediately put a number of Ciel's clothes into his storage room since Ciel still doesn't have storage space.

After finishing with Ciel's clothes, the two of them walked straight to the Tian Dou Hotel where Shirou had been staying while in Tian Dou City. Arriving in front of the Tian Dou Hotel, Ciel's face was very surprised to see the building in front of him. Ciel swallowed his saliva and said nervously, "Teacher, do you live here?"

Shirou nodded and said, "Yes. This building is the Tian Dou Hotel, this is the hotel where I stayed while in Tian Dou City. Come on in, we'll go to reception to get a key you can use."

"Okay," Ciel nodded and started to walk following Shirou into the Tian Dou Hotel with a nervous face and also has a high curiosity,

Arriving at the hotel reception desk, Shirou immediately called out, "Excuse me"

The employee who was guarding the hotel reception when he heard a call at the front desk immediately lifted his body and looked at a child who he knew had previously rented a room. The employee smiled and said, "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"

Shirou nodded and said, "Is it possible I can get a second key for my room?"

"Second key?" The employee asked curiously.

"I have friends who will stay with me in my room the previous lease. However, because we have the possibility of their own affairs, I wish he could hold the key to another room so that we do not rush to mutually seek each other. What could do something like that? " Shirou again asked to change the name because the students become friends would be very strange to see an 8-year-old son has a 6-year-old student.

Ciel himself who heard this just kept quiet and left all this to his Master, Shirou. The employee who listened to Shirou's explanation nodded and said, "It can be done. However, Master will need to pay 15 soul coins to obtain the second key."

"No problem" Shirou nodded and immediately took out 15 gold soul coins from the storage room and handed it to the employee, "Brother, here is the money"

"Okay," The employee took the money Shirou had given him and said, "What floor and room number are you staying at, sir?"

"3rd-floor room number 35"

"Please wait a moment," The employee said as he sat back down and processed Shirou's request. It didn't take long for the employee to finish and pass the key to the second room to Shirou and say, "Sir, this is the room key you want"

"Thank you" Shirou immediately took the room key and turned to hand it to Ciel "This is the key to the room we will use, you keep this"

"Okay, Master" Ciel said excitedly.

" Teacher?" The employee who heard the mention of the word "Teacher" from Ciel raised his brow because only someone who followed someone could call that person Master.

Shirou, who heard that, quickly turned around and said to the employees, "Brother, since our business here is over, let's go back to our room first. See you again"

The employee immediately erased his thoughts and said, "See you later, sir."

Shirou immediately took Ciel up to the 3rd floor where the room was rented by him. Along the way, Ciel's eyes always look in various directions because of awe and also a sense of interest in new things.

Arriving in front of their room, Shirou immediately took out his key and opened the bedroom door. The two of them went straight into the room with Ciel slightly surprised by the size of the room he would be staying in while in Tian Dou City.

"Lily, I'm back," Shirou said loud enough to make Lily listen to his voice and not be alert of any danger.

From the direction of the main room of room, there was the sound of footsteps moving quickly out towards the front room. We can see a small white cat instantly moving at high speed towards Shirou and jumping onto his shoulder while intimately licking Shirou's cheek.

"Hehe~ How about the training? Is it going well?" Shirou said with a smile while stroking Lily's head.

"Meow~" Lily nodded excitedly and also had a happy smile on her face.

Along with that with the soul beast intuition that Lily had, Lily looked to the side and found that someone had returned with Shirou. Lily looked at Ciel with a curious look and there was no fear at all since Shirou was already in the room.

"Meow~" Lily looked at Shirou for an answer or explanation from him.

Shirou smiled and turned to look at Ciel and said while pointing at Lily who was on his shoulder, "Ciel, this is Lily. He is the best friend that I told you about before. By the way, she's a girl, so don't get me wrong."

Shirou then pointed at Ciel and said, "Lily, this is Ciel. He is a student I just accepted. From now on he will stay and go on adventures with us. Come on, you two, get to know each other."

Ciel looked at Lily bowing slightly and said politely, "Hello, my name is Ciel. I am the Disciple of Master Shirou. Nice to meet you, Miss Lily."

Lily's eyes were full of gleam, she immediately raised her chest with the majesty of a Master to her subordinates and said, "Meow~"

Shirou chuckled softly listening to Lily's words, Ciel himself didn't understand Lily's words and looked at Shirou while saying, "Teacher, what did Miss Lily say?"

Shirou smiled faintly and said "Lily just said that since you are Shirou's disciple, from now on you have to serve me"

Ciel nodded and said, "Miss Lily, don't worry, I will definitely do as you wish"

"Meow~" Lily nodded with satisfaction hearing Ciel's words.

"Ciel, Lily said she will wait for your performance," Shirou said as she continued, "Okok~ It's better for you to go tidy up, for now, you can use the other room in this room since Lily and I usually live together" Shirou waved his hand and took out Ciel's previously purchased clothes.

"Okay, Master" Ciel nodded and started picking up the clothes.

"By the way, Ciel. It's best if you get a quick rest tonight and tomorrow morning you have to wake up at 05.00 in the morning. I'll start training you tomorrow, don't miss it." Shirou said casually.

Ciel's eyes lit up hearing this and hastily said, "Yes, Master"

"Okok~ Then, I'll leave you here. You are free to do whatever you want tonight. However, you must remember to go to bed early because tomorrow's training will be quite tiring if you don't get enough sleep."

"Okay." Ciel nodded.

After briefing Ciel, Shirou immediately walked towards the kitchen to prepare the previously ordered food along with Lily who was on his shoulder, and started talking about various things.
