Chapter 97 – Dating
#097.
“Hot!”
The long awaited Saturday morning.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
And immediately began to wash the whole body clean.
Especially when I was scrubbing around my cock, I suddenly realized.
“Oh, you don’t need much cleaning here.”
There’s nothing to use today anyway, and after acquiring the Sweet Bodily Fluids skill, there’s no fucking smell.
Rather, it is sweet and smells good.
Not only urine but also semen are sweet, so there is no longer any unpleasant smell.
“It’s quite usable.”
When I first got it, I thought it would be better than nothing, but now that I think about it, it has a lot of uses.
After taking a shower, I changed into the clothes I had prepared yesterday in the living room and headed for the front door.
“Haa.. Weather Joota~”
When I went outside, cherry blossoms were in full bloom here and there, blowing in the warm spring breeze.
Like me, there were countless couples wandering around for a weekend date.
Among them, there was one that caught my attention.
Of course, it was Cristina who would go on a date with me.
Christina was so beautiful in a long cardigan coat and plaid skirt suitable for spring.
She is also very attractive because of her good looks and body.
“Did you wait long?”
She gets closer and asks, Cristina looking at her floor and then looking up at her.
“I didn’t wait too long. Let’s go. It’s kind of annoying.”
She certainly didn’t mind the glances around her, pretending not to see them.
In particular, whispers were heard from all over the place, looking at Christina and me.
“I guess the two of you are really like that.”
“Iknow, right. Like the prom, this time too…”
“Kyaaaaa! Isn’t that too romantic? Love between priests?”
In this way, various reviews were lined up.
But when I heard those words, I was a little puzzled.
He couldn’t figure out why Christina was alone.
Although she is said to be an illegitimate child, Christina herself is also an outstanding talent.
She deserves to be friendly enough.
‘What else is there?’
After looking around her questioningly for a moment, he took Christina’s hand and led her.
Then small exclamations of exclamation erupted from the women around her.
“What do you want to do?”
“…Not really.”
She looked at Christina’s face, who seemed to be nervous at the glances around her, and then moved her steps while gently kneading her hands.
“Then how about a play? They say they do it in the central square.”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
He told me to do whatever I want, but looking at the reaction, it seems that he doesn’t like it.
She moved quickly and arrived at the central plaza, where she saw a stage set up on one side and a long line beside it.
“Come on!”
As we lined up thinking that all the tickets would be sold out later, a line quickly started forming behind us.
“Christina. I have a question, can I ask?”
“…What.”
Cristina was taken aback when her name was called, but she immediately asked calmly.
She wondered if it was okay to talk about this, but she was still curious, so she cautiously asked a guiding question.
“It’s a personal thing. He… Do you have friends?”
“Doesn’t exist. What are you curious about? She also helped me with research, so I’ll answer you.”
Cristina gladly accepted, probably because she is a person who can’t live without debt.
“That…Why don’t the nobles approach Christina? Everyone covets her ability.”
I was also ignored at first, but since the rumor about the martial arts competition spread, I have been approached from all over the place for a little over a month at the academy.
Of course, even if that was the case, it was only at the level of getting to know each other, but she approached a commoner like me anyway.
Cristina seemed to take my doubts for granted.
“For the Camelot family, an illegitimate child like me who has a great appearance and body is a great tool for an arranged marriage.”
“Um… So…”
Guessing the reason, he opened his mouth quietly, and Christina continued.
“That’s why I don’t let anyone get close to an illegitimate child who ran away on his own. He probably thought it would come back on its own.”
The conclusion was that he had become a loner because of pressure from the Countess of Camelot.
Of course, you can ignore the marquess or dukes higher than the count, but…
‘In a place like that, they wouldn’t bother approaching Christina to appease them.’
In a family like that, there must be many magicians who have reached the level of Christina.
She said as if to warn me if Christina had misunderstood me in the silence of her thoughts in the other direction.
“Therefore. You too… Why don’t you approach me anymore? Maybe sooner or later someone from Camelot will come.”
She replied with a grin on her face full of her concerns about me.
“Christina. Can I hug you?”
“What? What does that mean?”
Looking at her expression that asked if she had heard her words, she stretched out her hand and held her in her arms.
“I am not giving up on you. Tell me to do anything I won’t let you go even if I die.”
“You… Are stupid. Really stupid.”
Cristina buried her head deeply into my shoulder as if she didn’t want to show her current face.
As she gave her a pat on the back, Christina pushed her emotions away.
“Who told you to hug me? I didn’t even allow it.”
“Sorry. Then I’ll say it again. Can I hug you?”
When asked, Cristina did not refuse, and she was silent.
So the moment she tries to pull her back into her arms.
“Next minute!”
The line in front of her disappeared and the ticket office worker’s cry was heard.
“Let’s go.”
Cristina then went straight to the box office, and I regretfully clicked her tongue and followed her.
“Welcome. What can I do? There are regular seats and couple seats.”
“Couples, please.”
“Yes. 2 silver.”
The inn accommodation fee is 1 silver, but it is twice that amount, so it means that the accommodation fee is 1 per person.
“Here you go.”
“Wait for a sec. I’ll pay half.”
Cristina stopped her from giving her money and she put her hand right into her arms.
So I shook my head and said.
“I will buy the ticket. If you feel bad about it, pay for the meal instead. Two silver here.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
I received a couple seat ticket from the ticket office staff and headed straight to my seat.
Cristina, who was silent for a moment, sent her eyes looking at me, and she warned me.
“Be careful. She could ruin her life if she caught a bad girl.”
I’m afraid I might get bitten by a snake.
‘I don’t have to.’
No matter how pretty it is, if it’s not cheap, I don’t like it either.
Still, it was nice to see a caring heart.
So she grabbed Christina by the shoulder and hugged her, whispering.
“Then no problem. Because I already have one.”
“Haa.. I can’t understand the words.”
No matter what she says, she responds in this way to everything, so she must be exhausted.
Cristina quietly buried her body in her seat with her half-given expression.
I decided that it would be better to stay still for now, so I waited quietly for the screening, and soon the play began.
The play was a group play centered on ambitious people in power.
One or two characters appeared and the story progressed slowly according to their point of view.
The story that went on ended with one person surviving and grabbing everything.
─Clap clap clap clap!
When the play was over and all the actors came up to say hello, loud applause rang out.
After a long applause, the play came to an end with a few words from the head of the troupe.
“Christina. How was it?”
“So so. Which restaurant would you like to go to?”
As if the play wasn’t very impressive or interesting, Christina immediately changed the subject.
“Well? I hardly ever eat out.”
The last time I ate out after coming to the capital was at the inn before entering the dormitory.
So, of course, I didn’t even know what restaurants were here.
‘Didn’t I have prepared this?’
She thought about that for a moment, but Christina’s next words dispelled her concerns.
“Well… You were originally in a place other than the capital, right? Then can I go to the place I often go to?”
“Sure.”
As soon as I gave my consent, Cristina took my hand and took the lead.
For a moment she savored the soft feel of her hand, then stood beside her.
After a while, we arrived at a place a little far from downtown.
“Is there a restaurant here?”
“Huh. It’s like a hidden restaurant. Since you are away from downtown, there are no nobles, so there will be seats left.”
Since Christina often goes there, I asked what kind of place she was, and there was a reason.
Although she is displeased with the gaze of nobles, there is no place like this for Christina, who feels a strong burden.
After walking for a while, she saw a shabby inn.
Kiik-
Cristina opened the door, and as she followed her in, she saw a neat and clean interior unlike her exterior.
Even there were quite a lot of customers, so there were 3 employees walking around.
“Oh.. Are there a lot of people?”
“I told you. It’s a hidden restaurant.”
There were a lot of people, but the turnover rate was fast, so seats were created and disappeared quickly.
As we were looking around at the entrance, a middle-aged man approached us.
“Are you sitting where you used to be?”
The middle-aged man, as if recognizing Christina, pointed straight to the stairs on the second floor.
“Yes. There are two of us today. I would like two of the usual C set, please.”
“Thank you. Customer. Here! Two sets of C!!”
The middle-aged man simply took the order, shouted toward the counter, and then moved on to another customer.
“Follow me. There is a window seat on the second floor.”
We went straight up the stairs to the second floor and sat at an empty window seat on one side.
Looking outside, I saw a row of shabby buildings.
In the case of a nearby building, a long line was connected to the window frame on both sides, and laundry was scattered around.
It was a strangely relaxing sight.
I opened my mouth while watching the clothesline sway in the spring breeze.
“Christina.”
“Why.”
“Can I call you Tina?”
“…”
She was always too lazy to call her Cristina, so when she suggested her nickname, Cristina was silent.
As I turned her head from the window to the front, I saw her glaring at me, biting her lip.
“What’s wrong?”
“…No. Do whatever you feel like.”
Apparently, there is a story behind her nickname, Tina.
But she didn’t want to show it off. Tina didn’t even make eye contact with her, just staring at her window.
“Tina.”
“…”
“Tina?”
“Why again?”
“I just called.”
When I said it with a mean laugh, Tina pouted her mouth, then looked at her window again.
After such a peaceful time, the food came out and we started eating.
“Tina. She said she was after the whereabouts of the spirits, right?”
“Okay. …Do you know anything?”
“No. It’s nothing.”
What does she mean by pursuing the whereabouts of souls?
After I had the Spiritual Eye, I was able to see ghosts.
There is only one in this restaurant right now.
A young child who was staring at the kitchen side of the kitchen.
Maybe it’s the son of the owner of this restaurant?
‘The soul’s whereabouts…’
In fact, she wasn’t without questions as she killed the bullies.
I continued to harvest additional karma by killing the bullies and killing their souls.
But souls did not come out of all arches.
Even after killing some, there was no sign that the soul would come out of the body.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t have souls.
That means that it may have disappeared somewhere else without my knowledge.
Where did that soul go?
Once you know one.
It meant that the souls with lingering attachments, whether they were evil or good, would remain in this world and wander.
And the rest I don’t know.
The two of us didn’t talk because I didn’t talk first, so we quietly finished our meal and went out.
I looked around and saw a park.
“Tina. Would you like to take a walk in the park?”
“Okay. I also have to turn off the boat.”
She took Tina’s hand and headed for the park.
Colorful flowers bloomed here and there in the park, giving off a fragrant scent.
She strolled leisurely there, looking at the flowers;
“You are pretty.”
“Yes..”
Tina agreed, but I wasn’t looking at the flowers.
Dozens of flowers were showing off their individuality and beauty, but they still couldn’t come close to Tina.
“You mean Tina, not flowers?”
“Why don’t you stop? Do you know how to like it when you say that every time?”
She whispered softly and Tina frowned at her and walked away from me.
She answered, hurriedly following along.
“No. Are you just being honest?”
“That’s what you don’t want to hear.”
Seeing her displeasure, I didn’t even bother talking back this time, shrugging her shoulders and slowly walking away from her.
How long did it take?
In the old evening, when the ship went off and it was getting drowsy, I saw a bench far behind the fountain.
“Tina. How about going to the bench and resting? You walked a lot.”
Tina, who looked at her own feet for a moment as she pointed to her shoes, nodded and headed to her bench.
“Okay. Let’s rest a little.”
Sitting next to Tina, I looked at the water spouting from the fountain and opened her mouth.
“Tina. Can you make a pillow for her lap?”
“What? Why did I…”
“They said that only mucous membrane contact is not allowed, but they say that skinship is possible.”
The rule we set for dating is mucous membrane contact.
That means that any kind of skinship is possible as long as it does not touch the mucous membrane.
Of course, it is impossible to massage the chest or caress, but isn’t a knee pillow not that serious?
Tina couldn’t really say what she thought.
So she slowly laid her back and rested her head on her white thighs exposed under her skirt.
“Ah, good. Tina feels good because her thighs are soft.”
Tina twisted her expression as she laughed and commented.
“Quiet. If you say something like pervert, I’ll blow it up right away.”
“Yes. All right. I will take a deep breath.”
Doing her lap pillow like this reminded her of the time she received her lap pillow from Nia when she was at Frencia.
‘What are you trying to do…’
As far as I found out from time to time, there are still no special events happening in the kingdom of Rianne.
It seems that it has been two years since the declaration of war against the Church of Destruction, but there has been no news of a major fight.
‘I have to go there sometime, but…’
But going now doesn’t help much.
So you must become stronger.
I had a hunch that a huge war would break out, although I didn’t know when it would happen.
Even for that time, we must gain the strength to protect everyone.
She thought about this and that, quietly savoring the spring breeze, and at some point fell asleep.
