152 152 "Walking to the city" (1/2)

”When I look at this city again, it's so many things. It's interesting.

Since then, Rock and I have been walking around the city with Luna, and Luna has always been interested in various things in the city.

Yes, I should have shown her around earlier.

”Hey, isn't that the diner I went to the other day?

Oh, that's Mina's diner. It's just lunchtime, do you want to grab a bite to eat?

”Are you sure?

Luna's eyes lit up when I asked her to join me.

Yes, she liked Mina's food very much.

You can go straight into her restaurant and ask for her usual menu. Just as she did the other day, Luna said, ”Would you like to be mine? Mina responded with a wry smile as he hit on her.

After finishing her meal, she was walking through the city when she suddenly stopped in front of a stall in a corner of the city.

”Kyou. What's this?

With that said, she pointed to pendants, earrings and rings made of gems from the body of a demon.

Oh, those are women's accessories. Do you want me to buy you one if you're interested?

”Are you sure?

Luna's eyes light up again at that line from me.

Eventually, after a long pause in front of the store, ”This is it! And she chooses a necklace embedded with a green sparkling jewel.

Oh. You have a great eye, young lady. It's said to be a gemstone for love.

Hearing the owner's words made me feel awkward, but Luna said, ”Luck in love?　What's that? I decided to buy him a necklace, not caring that he said, ”I'll buy you a necklace.

”Hmmm. I like the color of this jewelry. I like it.

Then Luna liked the necklace, and put it on her chest and touched it with her hands, as if she was satisfied with it.

The uneasy look she showed me earlier in front of the chocoendo is gone, and I'm relieved that I took her out on the town.

She seemed to like the walk, and had a pleasant smile on her face.

Did you like these walks in the city?

”Yeah. . this kind of thing reminds me of somewhere I've walked with someone before.

What, does that mean my memory is coming back?

But Luna shook her head in response to my question.

No, I just had a feeling. This kind of city walk has happened before.

Well, that's certainly true.

It's a bit of a shame, because I was hoping this would be a clue to bring back Luna's memories.

But as Luna watches me, she smiles a somewhat mischievous smile.

”Maybe I've walked the streets with someone like you before.

”With me?

She responds to Luna's line with a seriousness, but she laughs and says, ”I was just kidding.

Hmmm. I don't know how far she's taking it seriously.

As you're walking down the street like this, we come out in front of John Freeland.

Ah, nostalgia. This is the first restaurant I ever visited when I came to another world, and it's where I got kicked out.

The owner hired Phytis to run against him during a diner contest.

While I was mulling over those memories, the owner of the restaurant, Mr. John Hoo, came out of the storefront.

You're ......, right?

Oh, and hi.
