Chapter 191 [Bonus ] 47: First Kiss, A Goddes Charmed?

Zell chuckled, oblivious to the plots that were starting to grow against him, instead enjoying the cool sensation of Veronica's hand as her one-piece dress fluttered with the light wind, almost showing her plump ass before he used his hand to hold the dress down, wrapping his arm around her back as they approached the main shopping area of the outer city.

"That's alright; I'll be gentle with you. Come along; let us find a nice restaurant, shall we?"

Just because he was confident didn't mean he'd let another male see her bare skin; an incubus was a very possessive and jealous creature.

"So, where should we go first?" Zell asked, looking around the large shopping mall. There were many different shops and restaurants, each offering a variety of goods and services; he used his phone to translate the store names and maps, trying to find a place written in Franzian as the language of this place was so aggressive and strange.

"Ah, I've heard about the 'Café du Monde'; it seems like a great place to relax and enjoy coffee. Do you like coffee?" Veronica noticed that Zell loved coffee, each morning she would wake up the earliest and sit in the middle room, watching as every single day he would make a different roast and stand in the kitchen like an annoying prick, tasting his coffee with a smug smile, before letting out a long sigh.

'Cute... I love that side of you...' She thought, unable to say the words out loud, her face becoming hot as the feeling she now knew by words began to cause her chest to tighten; Veronica wanted more time with him, wished he would come to her room and ask about her day, but she also understood just how taught a string Zell was right now... She wanted to be his place of rest. Thus her desires were locked away, only released at moments like this.

Zell nodded. "Of course, but it was too expensive in the past! Haha, so I guess I'll have to try it."

They walked together, holding hands and occasionally stopping to admire various items in the shop windows; the Café they wanted to visit wasn't too far away; Veronica looked at many cute things, noting which style of bag she liked most, but also making sure to take into account which clothes caused Zell's eyes to focus on them, swearing to buy that lewd underwear in her size later as she wrapped her breasts around his arm, trying to get as close as possible.

Soon enough, they arrived at a charming café.

"Welcome to the famous Café du Monde!" A polite waiter greeted them when they entered.

"We'd like to order two coffees," Veronica said in Franzian, and the waiter bowed slightly before leading them to a table.

As Zell sat down, he saw several familiar faces sitting there, a gaggle of giggling girls dressed in casual summer dresses and white tights, two women wearing office attire, and three men with slicked-back hair and fancy suits; all looking at him with curious eyes as Veronica sat across from him and ordered a cup of coffee, nodding to Zell to make the same order. Once their coffee arrived, the waiters left the patrons alone.

Zell moved his hand from hers to stare at everyone present; Veronica turned red but quickly covered her face with both hands.

"What is this place? Is it some gathering place?"

Veronica didn't want to tell him, but this café was one limited to couples, thus all the people there were likely to be dating, thus she felt a strange feeling of shyness when all the girls were looking at them, the whispers about them being a good match causing her to feel a tickling sensation in her chest as she fluttered her eyes towards Zell.

At this moment, the cute former goddess forgot about demons, divines, and everything about the game and world. Right now, she was simply on holiday with Zell, and in her mind, they were a couple, maybe even married; her little cheeks turned pink as the waitress brought over their drinks with elegant steps.

Veronica took a sip.

"This flavour... It doesn't compare to home." Veronica whispered, a pout forming. She was referring to the coffee that Zell made especially for her, the extra sugar and a cinnamon stick to add a tarty sweetness, because she didn't really like coffee and just wanted to have more things in common with Zell, her little legs kicking under the table, stroking along his thighs as she began to look out the window, enjoying this moment of peace with him.

He, too, wanted to enjoy the calm atmosphere of a sweet memory from happier times without the weight of evil gods hanging upon him as he inhaled his delicious blend. 'It feels like heaven,' Zell thought about it before glancing up; the dazed face of Veronica looked at him, her eyes a little wet and dreamy; she wanted to be closer but didn't have the skills to say so... She didn't need to rush, but at least wanted some status... a place in his heart.

"Veronica." Zell's voice was firm, commanding as caused her little shoulders to jump as she gasped, almost spilling her coffee.

"Mmm?"

"I like you." He said, his hand leaning over the table and covering her's, enjoying how jumpy and shy she acted as her eyes widened; he said the words in the language of the eastern drama she loved, which caused her heart to throb, her breathing to increase as she looked to the sides, seeing if it was a joke... then looked back to notice him leaning over the small table before his lips pressed against her forehead.

He didn't want to rush; this girl was always a little strange, and after learning more about pure-blooded divines, Zell would take it slow and at an ideal pace.

"I can wait until you are ready, just stay by my side and don't disappear... Veronica..."

"ho....ho.....who wants to stay with you.... idiot...." she muttered, her bright face red, the poor goddess not sure how to react, her empty cup dropping from her idle hand as she looked into his gentle, affectionate eyes.

'Ahhhhh... what do I do!? Like the drama? Kiss him back? Then.... then!? Stupid Zell.... stupid... why did he copy the confession scene of the drama I watched last... stupid... I split my stupid coffee... Hmph!'

She closed her eyes, still unsure whether this act should continue further. Yet Zell kept going since she didn't give him any resistance, nor did she return his kiss. With a last sigh of air, she kicked his shin with her toes before feeling a throbbing pain and letting out a little cry before finally she surrendered... this bastard was too good... it was impossible to resist his handsome visage and kind expression; she couldn't handle being around him for much longer, her fingers tracing his lips delicately.

After a minute or so, the sounds of a sullen apology arose from his lips.

"Ehh... veronica, that hurt; I won't kiss you next time."

Her eyebrows shot upward. 'What did that mean? Did he intend to tease me... KISS ME, YOU IDIOT!' She glared at him but held back any smacking action as Zell leaned closer to speak, staring at Veronica's eyelids while maintaining his distance.

"Veronica..."

"...yes..." her soft voice replied before Zell's lips kissed her own gently as her lower lip gave way to the intruder's invasion. It burned her tender mouth; something had changed between the pair as both were playing with each other's minds. As they continued kissing in a sizzling display of passion that burned from Veronica's stomach straight down her throat.

Zell could feel his heart pounding rapidly once more in anticipation of tasting the warm tongue that danced around his teeth.

His hands lightly groped Veronica's body, a touch meant to make him hard yet remain hidden from others lest there be any hints of interest; he slid his thumb beneath her cheek, causing Veronica to gasp; one quick movement caused Veronica to trip forwards with no one but Zell supporting her as she stared at his face; embarrassed despite being on top. He smiled softly, caressing her ear.

"...you know what? Why don't we take a nice walk together outside..." Zell murmured suggestively. His voice sent shivers through Veronica as the suggestion worked its magic, sending sparks dancing within her loins until she blushed with embarrassment before saying, "ahem.. well then... yes... let's go..."

Thankfully because of the way the booths were made, nobody saw their little kiss or Veronica being fondled; Zell quickly paid the fee before he grasped her hand, rubbing the back of her fingers with his thumb, as they walked into the mid-afternoon street's of Berlia together, both with a happy face and slightly flushed face.

The streets of Berlia weren't very busy compared to the inner city of Metigosia.

Yet, this little pair of lovers stumbled upon an adorable fountain, wishing each other luck or fortune as they kissed again, almost dancing around the fountain as her silver twin tails danced under the flowing water and finally stopped near the main entrance a high-class shopping centre.

At this point, he'd forgotten they were in such an exclusive section; instead, Veronica hugged him tightly as she confessed.

"Zell... I have never been somewhere so romantic and wonderful. Thank you."

His heart pulsated in pride and excitement... even if it was mostly due to this demon's fragile senses. 'You think this is romantic...?' He thought.

Because for Zell, this was his first date like a regular human boy too; when he dated Anya, Tessa, and Cryska, it was all high class, meals, and restaurants, but with Veronica, they played in the arcade, danced together on the machine and threw coins in the wishing wells...

He had a wonderful time and thus wanted to make her even happier.

"Veronica... this is just the beginning... The appetiser... the first of many... Don't worry, I won't let you go anymore!" His arms were wrapped around her body as they entered a small theatre and bought tickets to a cute movie that Veronica's eyes drifted to as they passed the posters.

"Mmm...."
