Chapter 889: In the Demon Realms City ③ (2/2)

[……Spending more money than I've ever spent in my whole life was a rather exhausting experience though.]

Thereupon, Sieg-san leaned her body against me, acting slightly spoiled. I know exactly how she feels though. I've become quite paralyzed about this matter lately, but expensive purchases can be quite tiring.

In fact, a billion yen purchase is of a scale that I would normally have never experienced in my life.

[It's lunchtime, so why don't we go eat something…… What do you want to eat, Sieg-san?]

[Hmmm…… Fish dishes would be great. I ate fish at the beach before and liked it.]

After nodding to Sieg-san's request, I took Kuro's Eating Tour in its Entirety Guide out of my magic box.

When I first received it, I was stunned by the number of volumes I received…… but it has been incredibly useful for me. Incidentally, this city is listed in the ”Near Home” section.

I looked for a restaurant that served fish dishes, had a high rating from Kuro and was somewhat nearby. Thereupon, it seemed that there was a seafood restaurant about 100 meters away from this shop, and Kuro rated it 8 out of 10, so we decided to go there.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it looked quite stylish, but it seemed that there was no dress code or reservation required, so we were able to enter right away.

As we were being guided by the waitress, I was looking at the spacious and stylish atmosphere of the restaurant……  when my eyes suddenly met with a woman who was eating at one of the tables…… and we were both astonished.

It was that tall woman with a purple ponytail…… Yes, the person I suspected to be Tree, whom I had first met at the shop earlier. I never thought I'd see her here…… but perhaps, the reason we didn't see her earlier might have been because she was taking a lunch break.

As I was thinking about this, the woman looked at me in astonishment and her gaze started to flusteredly move about.

[What in the world!? For our second encounter to be this soon…… I- I still haven't prepared the bread yet……]

After looking around saying that, the woman looked down at the plate she was eating from.

[……Would ”carpaccio” be alright? They did say that it's the thought that's important, so as long as I have the right thoughts, it shouldn't matter whether it's carpaccio or bread!!!]

[No, I don't think that works.]

[It won't work huh~~ I guess it certainly looks difficult to hold in my mouth.]

The woman's shoulders slumped when she heard the tsukkomi I reflexively threw at her…… How should I say this…… She's an interesting person.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [D*mn it all! They're d*mn flirting with every corner they turn! I thought their date would just take up one complete chapter!!!]

? ? ? : [No, I don't think that was talked about in any previous chapters though……]
