16 Chapter 16 - First Date.

Today Lily and I will go on a date. I decided to invite her for a walk around the city. I think I'll do the same as the Main Characters of other novels, just go shopping for clothes and jewelry and fix it with a restaurant in the evening. I never went on a date with a girl and now I am a little worried, because on Earth I was a fat recluse who now and then sat at home and only went to school.

Over the past few days, many assassins have tried to attack me. At first there were few of them, but the last time there were already four. As a result of all these attempts at my murder, I got sixteen more shadows of killers, now I have seven shadows of bandits and seventeen shadows of killers.

Also, the last days I went to the forest near the city and hunted monsters with Goldie. I ended up accumulating "3450" coins for the "Shop". I also learned that for a monster of rank (2) they give "25" coins, for a rank (3) they give "100" coins, and already for a rank (4) they give "250" coins. In the end, I decided to buy myself Ignis for "2500" and in the end I had "963". When Ignis appeared, I almost squealed with delight that I felt. I always liked Ignis and now he is my shadow and I am very happy about that. It's a pity that he still cannot speak. I also decided to turn the monsters of Rank (4) into my shadows. It was a pack of seven Thunder Wolves. These monsters are already magical monsters and have the skills of their element. Now I have Ignis, 7 bandits, 17 Assassins and 7 Thunder Wolves and 4 more shadow knights but they protect the Force.

I also became even stronger because of the killing of monsters and I feel that I can even break the dragon's mouth, but I probably just overestimate myself. Also with the help of "Kinship with Darkness" I tried to do one trick. I tried to imagine that behind my back in the air there are many spears and swords that are completely black and after a few attempts I got it. I decided to make this skill as a killing skill for a large group. You can also try to make it so that when hitting the target, spears and swords explode, but I think that this is worth postponing.

Now I am walking towards the castle in beautiful clothes in the hope that today our date will be unforgettable and perhaps Lily will smile today. Approaching the castle entrance, I waited for Lily. After waiting a little, I can already see how Lily comes out. She is beautiful, that's all I could think. Her beautiful body fits very well with a beautiful blue dress. She looks much more beautiful in this dress than in the uniform of the Academy. She is like a perfect living statue that has no flaws. I think that I finally fell in love with her. What a pity that her Mother is no longer alive, I would love to meet the one who gave birth to such an angel as Lily.

Approaching me, Lily probably felt uncomfortable from the fact that I was looking at her all the time and said:

-H-how do I look? - (Lily)

"You look just fine. I want to see you in a dress more often .- (I)

"S-thanks." Apparently Lily was embarrassed by my complement and just hung her head.

- Okay, let's go. I have several places in which I want to go with you-I said and went towards the first place.

While we were walking at us, everyone cast glances, apparently due to the fact that they did not expect that the Count's illegitimate daughter would walk down the street in such an outfit. But these views did not interest me, although perhaps on Earth I would be uncomfortable that so many people are looking at me.

The first place was the main street where people sometimes sell clothes, groceries and other gizmos. My goal was to buy some street food. Sometimes in the morning I bought snacks on a stick and decided that it would be nice to have a snack in the morning to have a good meal in the restaurant in the evening. Walking down the street and buying different snacks, Lily and I immediately ate them. Lily was really uncomfortable that I was crying for all this and tried to refuse, but in the end she gave up. I think it will be problematic to go shopping if she keeps saying that it is inconvenient.

After we had a bunch of different snacks, I decided to take Lily to the clothing store, I think she will like it. Approaching one of the shops and going into it, I went to the counter and asked the saleswoman to help pick up clothes for Lily. I decided to tell Lily that this is just a fitting and that she would not worry. Lily was uncomfortable doing all this, but in the end she perked up and I think she liked it. I memorized every dress and every outfit that Lily liked and told the saleswoman that these things would be sent to the Count's castle in the name of Lily Titius. Lily doesn't know yet, but today she will receive many gifts.

We also went to some shops and did the same as in the first one. At one point, Lily asked me to try on something too. I could not refuse her and decided to try on several costumes. Seeing that I liked the lily, I decided to order them for myself too. Then we decided to go to a jewelry store. Lily looked at all the jewelry with stars in her eyes. I decided to buy her a necklace to match her eye color and when Lily saw that I was going to buy something so expensive for her she tried with all her might to refuse it, but after a couple of minutes of persuasion I was able to persuade her. I put a necklace around her neck and looking into her eyes I saw how tears almost appeared in them. Is she so happy about my gift? I decided to ask her:

- Well, how? did you like it? -I asked and looked into her eyes.

"Yes, I really liked it." She said and smiled a little. This little smile made me feel good, because it was because of me that she smiled.

"Always smile because you smile right now and I will give you many gifts." I said and smiled warmly.

"W-good-And again Lily stammered that.

Then we decided to go to one special place. It was a pet shop where you can buy different animals. There are even cats and dogs and more. And I decided to buy her a little kitten with a white color. I remember on Earth I also had a white kitten. I'm interested to see how Lily will react to this. When we entered the store, Lily looked strangely at the sides, but when she found out that I wanted to buy her a kitten, she almost burst into tears again. Lily decided to name him Lim.

The last place was this nice restaurant. We decided to order several different dishes, and Lily probably already decided to just silently accept all this. She also fed the kitten on her lap and sometimes smiled. Seeing her like this and you won't believe that a week ago she was not like that. Probably now she thinks that this is just a dream that she had, but soon she will understand that this is not so.

After we ate I decided to walk Lily home. The way home was calm and I am grateful to the killers that they did not decide to ruin this day for me with their appearance. Taking her to the castle, I wished her good nights and went to the hotel myself with a smile on my face and thinking about what would happen next.
