270 Chapter 270

Chapter 270- Were Dates Really This Action-Packed Usually? (Part 2)

The two walked around the city, checking out places they had never visited before. It was still a new city to them even though they have been there for almost a month at this point. But, Tania didn't seem to be that interested in the city as she kept gazing at Acht secretly from time to time.

Her mind had only one thought inside of it and that is…

'I will be able to see Acht fight again. He will be so cool and dazzling.'

The thought of his silhouette as he defeated his opponents easily and efficiently made her shudder with excitement. It was all so worth the work for her since all she wanted was for her loved one to be as strong and as mesmerizing as he could be.

The plan she made took her a few weeks of searching and trying to find a good reason for Acht to fight.

Luckily, the necklaces were the best thing for this plan, they were important for their expedition and also quite rare so he can't find them anywhere else even if he tried to search.

That seemed to work wonderfully even though Acht was annoyed but he still accepted. If he was genuinely against the idea then she would've totally accepted that since all of this was just for her pure satisfaction and no ulterior motives.

"Want some ice cream?" Acht woke her up from her thoughts with a question.

Hearing the word 'ice cream' made her forget everything and nod happily.

"Fine, but you will only have one cone. No bowls of ice cream." He said.

"No…" Her face frowned with sadness and she tugged his sleeve.

"Ice cream… big bowl, please."

"No, that's not allowed." He replied with a stern look. Acht looked like a father speaking to his misbehaving daughter.

"Ok…" She didn't try to persuade him anymore as an idea popped into her head and she smiled mischievously.

"Two ice cream cones, please. One vanilla and one chocolate with cookie chips."

The man that had the ice cream shop smiled at the two and said.

"You have a gorgeous girlfriend there, lad."

Acht merely nodded his head and didn't say anything else. He didn't try to correct his words since he didn't bother with how people saw them. They can think whatever they want only if they don't become troublesome.

"Here they are, I gave the lady extra ice cream since she seemed eager for it. It's on the house." He winked at Acht as he gave him two big cones of ice cream.

"Thank you but it was unnecessary." He replied and took the ice cream before giving it to Tania.

"It's fine, you should spoil your lady or you will end up alone. Just like me." His energetic voice turned slightly sad at the end but he still smiled at them.

'I didn't need to know that.' Acht thought with a sigh before leaving.

The two sat on a bench and started eating the ice cream. The mood was way better than before. Then, Tania looked at Acht's cone and smiled.

"Acht... Ahhh." She said as she approached her cone from his face.

"Is it really necessary?" He asked.

"Please."

"Sigh, fine."

Then, he took a bite of the ice cream before savoring it for a moment and swallowing it. The taste of the chocolate was too strong for his taste and that's why he chose vanilla. As basic as it was, vanilla never misses.

"Give... me too..."

"Ok, here." He didn't think much about it and gave her the cone.

"Feed... me."

"You're old enough Tania. You don't need me to feed you."

"No, Acht needs... to feed me." She pouted slightly.

"Ok, ok." He rolled his eyes and gave her the cone with an 'Ahh'.

Tania nodded her head and took a big bite from the ice cream. Her face as she chewed the ice cream was like a hamster with her puffy cheeks.

"You ate half of it."

"It's... delicious..."

"That's not the point here. You are trying to trick me into giving you my ice cream too, aren't you?"

"N-No..." She averted her eyes.

"You are too gluttonous." He pinched her cheek with a tired look.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this girl and her endless pit of a stomach. He could swear he had never seen her completely filled. She always had a room for more food no matter what time it was, day or night.

He even questioned whether Tania had some special powers that made her need that huge amount of food to give her enough energy to sustain it but he could see nothing like that in her.

'She needs to restrain herself or she will get sick.'

*Bang*

Suddenly, as they were like that, a huge explosion woke them up. It was coming from two streets away and it was big enough to rise above the buildings and create a mirror of smoke above the city.

Acht squinted his eyes as he gazed at the direction of the explosion but he couldn't see anything.

"Let's go check." He said to Tania as he threw the ice cream in the trash can.

"Noo... Ice cream." Tania was really desperate to eat her ice cream but because of this stupid problem, she lost it.

'Dead... Kill.' She thought with a cold glare. Whoever did this shall feel her full wrath.

People are already running away from the place in fear.

'What is going on?' Acht could only wonder as he moved from between the hordes of people running in his direction.

Finally, when he reached the building where the explosion happened. He frowned greatly when he saw the destruction.

Half of the building was blown into smithereens and the rest of it was swaying left and right. He could clearly see that if it was left alone, the building will fall and the worst will happen.

'Who did this?' He looked around him for any suspicious people but he could see nothing that attracted his attention.

"There are people inside!!!" Someone shouted.

"They are stuck in the fire and the building will fall!!"

'Oh great! There are people inside too.' He rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze to Tania.

"Search around the place for anything suspicious, I will deal with the people inside."
