Chapter 119 - Date (2/2)

”Don't sweat the details. Here have some,” Kazuya hands her a barbecue stick, and she took a bite.

”Uwaah, it's so yummy! What is this? ”

”Right? It's better than expected.”

Or rather this must be a first for her, eating street food properly like this. Back in the main town, the food there is sterilized by officials before being sold. So, this was a first for Lyn. While this journey was to fetch something for mentor, she is learning a lot. Lyn was grateful that they could make these stops though they aren't here to fool around.

For a town that is supposedly under Prince Ereland's control though, Lyn did not see any traces of the cowardly Prince. He was terrorizing the village people so openly in the last town. How come he is doing nothing here? It made little sense to her. But Lyn did not want to let her guard down, that sneaky Prince is clearly up to something. With Kazuya, she knew that they could take him down. However, with Allen here too, this job should be a lot simpler.

Lyn slapped her cheeks; what is she doing? Feeling more reassured because Allen is here to help seems wrong. It's not like it meant anything in particular. However, Allen is a lot more organized in contrast to the other two.

”Lyn, say ahh.”

”Ahh?” Lyn immediately followed his instruction without a second thought, and before she knew it, Kazuya had fed her one of the barbecue sticks. The top row of the barbeque remained in her mouth, and she slowly chewed it.

Kazuya's gaze was soft the entire time, and Lyn looked away, why does he seem so happy?

”Kazuya, you have to eat too.”

”Right,” Kazuya bent down and ate from the barbeque stick in her hands. Her cheeks grew hot, ”Yeah, this meat really is good.”

Too sly!

Too sneaky!

Still, she peeked over at Kazuya who was engaged in conversation with the storekeeper. Spending time with him like this is very nice.

...

The next stall they ended up stopping at a clothes and jewelry stall. Considering how Kazuya was the only guy looking, Lyn didn't want to stay too long. The General always seems fidgety whenever she goes to these places. It must be awkward for a guy.

”Wow...this cloth looks expensive,” she commented, pointing to the lilac fabric of the dress on the stand.

”If we look at the price, Lyn, it's probably more than what I earn.”

Now that Lyn thought about it, she never understood how Kazuya made money. Before he became the ambassador, what type of work did he do before? Her thoughts broke off when she felt Kazuya slip something onto her hair, ”Ah?”

”This would look good on you,” Kazuya had picked up a gorgeous flowery hairpin.
