Chapter 59 - 059: The time we spend together

In the dining room, Arthur and Emilia sit there and ready to eat... or that's what suppose to be.

Arthur looks at the food or whatever it is prepared by Emilia.

Something that still recognizable is a soup.

Arthur uses his spoon and wants to taste it but there is another thing in his spoon from the soup.

"Pineapple... seriously?"

Arthur speak under his breath and look at the soup, he has a doubtful look on his face.

He tries to take another thing inside the soup, and this time Arthur have a slice of banana with meat.

"This... this is.. this is a new menu of hotpot?"

Arthur asks slowly to Emilia who sat across him.

"Well... how I say it... it was my first time cooking... previously I just eating fruit and sometimes bread, but I watched Rem make a dish several times, so I confidence my food is will not lose to her!"

'Since when Rem cooking something like this?! For real, Who she is watching?!'

"I didn't think it was bad, how about I taste it first?" Emilia ask innocently

'Oh dear, let's try it, I hope I didn't make a wrong choice this time. I can't make her sad after all of the efforts she put to make it'

"Then I will start to eat"

Arthur takes all of the dishes on the table and leaves nothing for Emilia, he eats very fast like there was a black hole inside his mouth.

Emilia surprises with Arthur eating speed and without her know it there is nothing for her.

"Arthur, you take all of the food here! How can I eat now?"

"Emilia, there is nothing wrong with your dish, but there is still a lot of things you can improve"

"Re...really?"

"Yes, how about next time you learn from Rem? You also know her dish is delicious"

"You're right, I will learn from her"

'Good grief I have hiraishin no jutsu so I can use it inside my mouth'

"Let's go to the capital, we will see if there is a nice restaurant" Arthur get up and held Emilia's hand but she didn't move from her seat.

"It's not like I didn't want to go, but you know-"

"Just go with me, if it was in my hometown there will be a lot of people who want to see a beautiful elf like you"

"Your hometown... I was curious about your hometown" Emilia who is nervous because Arthur want to bring her to the restaurant is lessening a little, this is different with the time they spend together before because this time Arthur want to bring her to the place where there will be a lot of people

'I can't impatience like this' seeing Emilia expression Arthur know even if she looks fine from the outside there will be a little wound deep inside her heart because of treatment she gets from the others. She wakes up from her sleep and didn't know why other people hate her, angry at her and treating her like a plague, it was impossible if she is fine.

She is good-natured and likes to take care of others, kindness, honesty, and a bit too naive, if it was another person who gets the same treatment as her Arthur think that person will not have the same personality with Emilia and maybe that person will hate other people.

"My hometown... well to sum it up, there is a lot of people who have interested in Elf, beastman, demon, suċċubus and many other things, there is maybe some group who idolized a witch" Arthur think about a group of people from his world and make up this story, well there is one in the Alfheim too.

"I want to see your hometown..."

"When i have the strength to bring you there, now we need to search for a nice restaurant"

Arthur didn't wait her answer this time and teleport to capital, and when they appear Arthur held her with both of his hand because Emilia is in seating position when Arthur use hiraishin no jutsu.

"You can't just bring me like that! I'm very shocked when I didn't feel a chair anymore!"

"That's why I hold you tightly like this, you see"

"Then can you release me now?"

"Nah, it feels nice like this, why I need to let it go?"

"Because it was embarrassing!"

"But you didn't want me to release you before when we're sitting together on the bench?"

"I will not eat anything if you tease me more than this!" This time Emilia pouting and try to look at Arthur with an angry face, but well, it didn't effective if she is the one who did it

"Oops, then I need to release you now, but you're so thin and wind can bring you to a faraway place, so I need to hold your hand just in case you are flying by the wind"

Arthur ignores her pouting and walks while holding her hand but he didn't know, there is a smile blooming on Emilia's face.

They walk for several minutes before they find a restaurant with good views, when Arthur and Emilia enter, he let her choose a place for them, and Arthur approach a man that looks like the owner or someone with authority here who seems to have intentions to drive out Emilia from the Restaurant and drag him to some corner.

"Hey, you're the one with the most authority here?"

Arthur took out a medallion given to him after he promoted to become a Marquis and show it to the man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Sir noble. I didn't know you have a dine here, I will drive out that half-demon now so you can have a nice time here- Offhh!!!"

He thinks, this nobleman want he to drive out Emilia from the restaurant, he also didn't know how she can enter here, and then the man want to shout but his mouth is cover by Arthur, with his other hand grip the man hand and nearly crush it.

"You know, that beautiful girl over there is Emilia, she is with me, and I didn't like it when people call her like that, so I want you to remember it, the one who you call half-demon is full of kindness and will not do anything to you even if you curse her. But, I was different, I'm the demon, the one who you need to fear the most is not her, but to me. This is my first warning, next time I will grip somewhere more high than your hand, hmm? Where it was, Ahh, right, your neck. Then I will be waiting for your best service"

Arthur walks away leaving the terrified man and sit on the place that Emilia choose.

"Where are you before, Arthur?"

"Toilet" Arthur replied innocently

"Hmm, what do you want to eat Emi?"

"I didn't know, I never come to a place like this before"

"Hmm then let's ask the waiters to serve us the best food they have"

This time the waiters didn't dare to slow in response and serve their best food as fast as possible.

Arthur didn't eat much this time because he is looking at Emilia's face when she tastes a different type of dish, she is very enjoying it.

When the two of them finished eating, Arthur wants to pay for it but no matter what he said there is no one who dares to accept his money.

He didn't know the man who gets his hand nearly crush by Arthur is searching the information about the medallion he showed before.

The medallion is a proof of nobility and it has unique shape and symbols for every household, this restaurant itself is back by several noble, so if it turns out to be a small noble from the countryside he can ask his backer to avenge him.

But the information he gets make him feel glad he didn't do anything to Emilia, and he thinks it was already leniency from Arthur for spare his life.

Black and White medallion in the shape of tiger, in entire Lugunica kingdom there is just one person who holds it, the new marquis Arthur Spencer.

Even if he told his backer about this incident they will treat it as never happened before. If it was another Marquis they can demand compensation but have trouble with someone who is on par with the current sword saint is same as asking for death, except this restaurant is backed by Astrea Household. So he decided to didn't accept Arthur money as a sign of goodwill and hope he will not mad at him anymore.

Well, for Arthur who comes out of the restaurant...

"It feels good to try to become an arrogant young master like in the novel"

"What you said, Arthur?"

"I say, it feels good to have you by my side"

"Harrumph, who is yours"

"It's very outdated to said something like 'harrumph' but because you're cute I want to see it again"

"Unfortunately I will not do it again"

Emilia turns her body to Arthur and slips out her tongue jeering at Arthur before she laughs and jumps skipping leaving Arthur behind.

"Really like a child... but our next destination will not make you feel like this... I really didn't want to do it"

Arthur looking at Emilia who is waving her hand and calling him.

"Well, this is for her own good, I need to do it, I just need to stay by her side until the end"
