Chapter 42 (1/2)

CHAPTER 42: POPULARITY TWO RANKS UP

This day, Nadia and I, the two of us are having a date alone.

Nadia and I, both of us are in our grown-up appearance with 「Fake Growth」magic.

She asked me, “Let’s date with grown-up appearance”, so it became like this.

By the way, my arm is linked with Nadia right now.

The Nadia who had grown up had quite large b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and linking arms makes me feel its softness.

「Lucio-kun, Lucio-kun, I wonder what that is」

What Nadia pointed to was a stall that was dealing with food.

「Skewering fruits with a stick……is coated with something?」

「Let’s go okay」

「Yeah」

Nodding, Nadia and I went to the stall.

「Welcome!」

「Ne〜ne〜, Oji-san, what is this? Are you coating something to the fruit?」

「This is a syrup from melting sugar. Sprinkling it like this, and make it cold with magic thenーーthere」

The person of the store said that, puts syrup on the fruit that was skewered, and literally made it cold with magic.

And with that, there was a solid, crunchy syrup coating the surface of the fruit.

The one he did it to was a banana-like fruit.

「How about one?」

「Un! Lucio-kun, okay?」

「Of course」

I took out some coins, and paid for one’s amount. I gave the fruit skewer that I received to Nadia.

Nadia bites on that, *Parri*, a clear crunchy sound could even be heard at my side.

「Ahaha, this is amazing〜, the outside was like *Parri*, and the inside was soft like *FunyaFunya*〜」

「He〜」

「Lucio-kun, how about a bite?」

「n」

I bit off where Nadia ate.

As she had said, it was crunchy outside and soft on the inside. In addition, it’s cold outside and warm inside.

Seared Sas.h.i.+mi? it was a strange feeling like eating the opposite version of that.

But.

「It’s delicious right」

「Yeah, it’s yummy, You also want to try it with this fruit?

「If we share, then okay」

「Okay〜. Oji-san, give me one of this」

I paid money again, and received the skewered tomato-like one that has been coated this time.

That was which it was like a skewered dango, Nadia ate one first, and then I also ate one.

「Ahahaha, it’s hard outside and *Pushu* inside」

「It feels like its peel was only a little crunchy」

It was an interesting texture, it’s not only interesting, but also delicious.

「Are you guys lovers? You two are getting along well」

「We’re not lovers, we’re husband and wife〜」

「He〜, you’re already married in your age huh」

「We got married when we were 8」

「Ohh, then, your marriage history is more than mine huh」

The store’s Oji-san said that while laughing.

With how we look, because we married at 8-years-old, he probably thought that our marriage history is more than ten years.

「You’re probably worried everyday right, a bride that cute, aren’t you worried she’s popular?」

「It’s okay, I’m only thinking of Lucio-kun」

「Ohh how pa.s.sionate」

「And, Lucio-kun is more, more amazing than me, he’s always popular, so I’m the one who is worried」

Nadia said that happily with a smile.

「Ohhh, that’s, gochisousama」

We said goodbye to the very fun store person and started walking.

Our arms are still linked.

「Ah! Lucio-kun, can you wait here for a minute?」

「Un? What happened」

When I asked back, I saw that Nadia was blusing and she was fidgeting.

After asking, I regretted it a little. Probably, it’s the bathroom or something.

「Okay, I’ll wait. Be careful」

That’s why, I did not say more than that, and saw her off.

Nadia nodded while being embarra.s.sed, and left with a jog.

I waited there for a while.

「Uhm……」

I was called out from the side.

When I looked, I was called out by an Ojou-sama-ish girl that dresses nice.

The girl who was about a high-school girl shyly looked up to me, and asked.

「Y-You’re Lucio-sama right」

「Un? Yes, I am」

I was a little surprised. Does she know my appearance when I have grown up with「Fake Growth」.

「My name is Anastasia. We met in His Majesty, the King’s party the other day……」
