Chapter 34: Lucia’s date (Creeping shadow) Part 1
It’s the day for the date with Lucia.
Several days ago Lucia did her best to defeat the Calamity Dragon so that she can get her prize.
I thought that she would request of me to buy delicious things and beautiful clothes, or buying anything she wanted but she wanted kiss request for me.
Sigh, what should’ve I done.
Naturally I rejected it immediately, I asked her once more and she strongly wished for a date once.
I tried to recommend something else for her but she shook her head while making an expression that would cry.
And for that reason I wasn’t able to refuse her, and today is that day where we go on our date.
Yeah, I don’t think Lucia would find it enjoyable being on a date with me.
But on the contrary to my thinking Lucia from morning was smiling and was filled with joy.
She had an expression like she was the happiest person on earth and her smile was so bright that it made others smile too.
I don’t know the reason that could make her happy so much but her being this happy is fine aswell.
“Uuu, how enviable Lucia-chan. Won’t another Calamity Dragon come out? This time I’ll use spells that’ll bury them in the ground.”
“Shii is determined to show her god’s majestic powers and use the strongest Water Spirit spells.”
Somehow they were saying really scary things.
What makes the girls go and do so much?
“Well, we’ll be going. We’ll be back around evening so please take care?”
Shii and Elin nodded obediently to my words.
With that confirmation me and Lucia began our date.
For now we’ll walk to the main street.
“There’s still time till noon. Where do you want to go?”
“If I’m with Master anywhere is fine.”
She replied to my question with a blush and faced her head down.
Yup, saying you are happy wherever you are with me, that reply to a guy’s question puts the hurdle a bit high.
I was troubled over it..
“Tsch.”
While being troubled I heard someone clicking their tongue.
It seems the passing guy’s clicked their tongues towards me due to jealousy.
Well, there’s no helping it.
My Lucia is terrifically beautiful.
Originally she is peerlessly beautiful girl but today she was wearing a white frilly blouse that we’ve bought several days ago that promoted her supple body and chestnut colour hair to a fantasy level.
Such a girl was clinging to my arm and walked side by me with a blissful face.
The passing men were glaring with envy, I understand the feeling of cursing the irrationality of this world.
Sigh, they are misunderstanding.
Certainly I am holding such a beautiful girl but that doesn’t have to mean that we are going out.
Good grief, feeling jealousy from a misunderstanding.
“N~ Let’s go shopping together. We should see the street accessories. If there’s any that you like frankly tell me I’ll give it to you as a present.”
“Eeh. But that will cost a lot of money.”
“Don’t worry about it. We have money for it. Besides since Lucia is cute don’t you want to dress up? I want to make Lucia even more cuter.”
“Hauuuuuuuu~”
She replied so and buried her bright red face in my arms.
Sigh, what happened?
Her ears and tail were flapping a lot.
While I was tilting my head in confusion the people around us could be heard.
“Chi”
“Shit, you guys are just showing off…”
“The world’s unfairness is just too much.”
Yeeah, what’s wrong?
Anyhow me and the closely clinging Lucia were headed to the streets of the east district.
It was crowded with people despite still being morning.
Traders from different countries with exotic tastes and evidently not honest, farmers selling vegetables, curio dealers, people from various nationalities and races were gathered here.
We were looking around in the streets and if we saw a shop selling accessories then we would stop and go to it.
“Master, this would be good if the price is good.”
With a reserved expression she said that and pointed towards a pendant.
It was a ware that had it’s slightly hazy ruby that was inlaid.
But I was, yeah bewildered.
Today is the long-awaited date that Lucia yearned for. So to say, I am the boyfriend and Lucia is the girlfriend.
Taking that into consideration, that pendant was giving a feeling of cheap. If it was only for a a little bit beautiful girl then it would’ve been enough but in this case it was Lucia who was transcendently beautiful.
That gem on her would surely look shabby.
Good grief, you wouldn’t have these troubles with a normally beautiful girl.
But, for some reason the Lucia who had a supple body and chestnut coloured hair was a fantastical beautiful girl who was yearning for me.
So I the boyfriend had no other choice but to find a gem that suited her beauty.
Because, if it would lose to Lucia’s beauty then the whole stone wouldn’t be seen being wore on her.
Good grief, for her to be this beautiful to make me troubled.
Sigh, I wish the guys who were piercing me with their glares of jealous from earlier would just stop it.
It’s more difficult to date a beautiful girl than you guys think it is.
Good grief, these unmarried men are too easy going and get jealous.
Perhaps it’s good that they don’t have this hardship.
“Besides, here we’ll take this one.”
I took the accessory in my hands.
It was the gem which I noticed Lucia sending fleeting glances to it.
She was probably reserved due to price of 500 000 giels.
“That one!? That’s no good, Master! To buy such an expensive thing for me. It doesn’t suit me it would be wasted.”
Lucia flusteredly declined it.
But I just calmly shook my head.
“You don’t have to be reserved. Currently, Lucia is my girlfriend right? Then if the gem doesn’t suit Lucia-chan then instead I would be embarrassed.”
I said that and I put the pendant on her forcibly.
“Maaaaaster’s girlfriend? Hawawawawawawa~”
Lucia’s face became bright red and in surprise she darted her eyes all around.
Oh, isn’t she a bit too excited now?
“I’m sorry, you must hate it…”
“I do not hate it at all! Yes, that’s right! Today, Lucia is Master’s girlfriend! I’ve been sold from long time ago after all!”
The usual timid Lucia was now declaring with a loud voice.
She stared at the pendant with an entranced look.
Oi, oi your voice is loud.
Also, what did you mean by sold?
I tilted my head in doubt while I could hear the surrounding men saying something.
“Shit, are you guys not flirting a lot!?”
“I’m jealous a lot.”
“I also want to go out with a beautiful girl like that.”
Fuumu, it’s not like I had the intention to show off.
I just wanted things to go smoothly as possible.
Besides we might’ve overstayed here a bit too long.
Before long it is noon now.
“Okay, soon will be lunch. What do you want to eat?”
I paid the price of the pendant and asked her that.
“Any place that I can be with Master would be fine.”
Lucia leaned on my arm with a moist face when she said that.
Sigh, that answer is the most troublesome.
While I was being trouble the men continued around us.
“I also want to be told things like that…”
“This is my first time cursing the unfairness of the world so much.”
“Damn it, what is up with the world”
More joined in.
“I also want to be told that by a girlfriend.”
“I also, it must be nice~”
Hmm, there was a voice which I could recognize by hearing, but it’s fine.
Right now I’m with Lucia on a date.
Along the way to the western restaurant we kept hearing from surroundings things like “Tchi” and “Damn it.”.
