"Uwaaahh～" ［Grey］

  A lengthy and audible yawn drifted in the air as Grey stretched his arms boldly towards the ceiling. It was yet another new day and thanks to the fortable bed, he was able to get a good night's sleep.

  Yesterday, after their audieh the king and the signing of tracts, Grey, along with Yuna, was dragged by Vanessa into their mansion. There, she kept asking him to make pizza for her. Luckily, Ranzel was there to keep her in check.

  Although what happened was quite hectic, to Grey and Yuna, it was still fun spending time with Kurt, Vanessa, and Ranzel, whom they had just met. It was quite a fulfilling day even whehing that happened was outside their expectations.

  Though, after their return to the Aldridge mansion, they once again pyed with the children and cooked dinner. It draihem a lot of their energy and exhausted them quite greatly. Thankfully, the bed was there to heal their fatigue.

  "Mnmmn..." ［Yuna］

  As Grey stretched his arms, beside him, Yuna was mumbling in her sleep like a little child. Even when she was sleeping and her hair was a mess, she still looked so cute that Grey had a hard time stopping himself from kissing her.

  Trying to ignore Yuna's ess, Grey left the bed and headed to the near desk, grabbing a sheet of paper and a pencil by the drawer. He then sat down on the chair and started to mull over something.

  Si was their third day in the capital, Grey wao pn a date for him and Yuna to enjoy. He was enthusiastic at first, but immediately became gloomy when he realized the problem. He didn't know where is where in the capital.

  Rustle Rustle

  Just as Grey despaired over his pn, a soft ale rustling sound echoed inside his ears, ing from the bed. Yuna had just woken up and she was currently rubbing her eyes in an adorable manner.

  "Good m." ［Grey］

  "Mnm... Mowingg～..." ［Yuna］

  Yuna responded while she yawned silently and then walked groggily trey. The moment Grey was within her grasp, she clumsily hugged him and held him as tight as he could. She was ag gy again now that they were aloogether.

  "Hmn...? What's that?" ［Yuna］

  "A date pn, or so it should be, but... I don't know where the ndmarks and good dating spots in the capital are. Sorry." ［Grey］

  "Why are you apologizing, silly? Wouldn't it be more exg if we add a little bit of adventure in our date?" ［Yuna］

  Said Yuna as she grabbed the pencil in Grey's hands and pced it down the desk. She then tio grab the piece of paper and clumsily threw it into the air. She was still half-asleep.

  "Mnm... I'm already satisfied knowing that you were pnning for one. I'm really lucky to have such a thoughtful boyfriend." ［Yuna］

  Yuna tinued with her eyes closed as she pced her head on Grey's shoulders, hogging him even tighter. At that point Grey doesn't know if she was fully awake already or not, but he was still happy with her words.

  "Well, I'm also lucky to have such a cute and siderate girlfriend." ［Grey］

  "Mmm... Then how about cooking curry for your cute and siderate girlfriー" ［Yuna］

  Grol

  Not having the ce to finish her sentence, a sudden growl from her stomaterrupted her words, making her fully awake. Her face then started to turn red as she was embarrassed by her stomach growling.

  "Pfft. Alright, alright, I'll cook curry for myー pfft... cute and siderate girlfriend. But I'llー pfft... have to ask Missus Veronica for herー pfft... permission first. Pfft." ［Grey］

  "Stop ughing!" ［Yuna］

  "But I' m notー pfft... ughingー Hahaha." ［Grey］

  "You clearly are!" ［Yuna］

  Yuna protested with a pouting face as she fpped her arms in an adorable fashion, but her protest backfired. All it did was make her even more adorable that Grey just couldn't stop teasing her.

  Yuna only stopped pouting when Grey gently patted her on the head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead as a m greeting. Though, it did make her even redder than she was before.

  After that little se of theirs, Grey and Yuna prepared themselves for the day. They then headed down to the first floor and asked Veronica for permission to use the kit which she quickly agreed to.

  And hearing Grey and Yuna we were cooking i, Galvin and Elnart watched the two of them cook dish after dish with eyes full of curiosity, excitement, and expectations.

  "Hey, hey, Big Bro Grey, what's that?" ［Galvin］

  "It's curry powder." ［Grey］

  Of course, it went without saying that the children asked them questions while they were cooking. Thankfully, the other chefs weren't bothered by them and just tinued with their daily jobs.

  Rather than being bothered, the other chefs were also ied in Grey and Yuna's cooking. If it weren't for the fact that they still had jobs to finish, they would have joined in and observed them as well.

  "Curry powder..." ［Galvin］

  "Do you want to help us cook too, Galvin?" ［Yuna］

  "Y-Yes! I'll do my best!" ［Galvin］

  "U-Umm... I also want to help..." ［Elnart］

  Seeing his younger brother excited over helping cook breakfast, Elnart raised his hand and asked to help out in cooking as well, which Grey and Yuna accepted and they had a merry bonding time together.

  After cooking, Grey and Yuna then headed to the baths and bathed separately. When they finished bathing and ging clothes, Grey helped out Yuna dry her hair with wind magic. It was one of their daily routines sihey became a couple.

  They then had breakfast where Galviedly reported to his mother about how he helped out in making breakfast. And Veronica hearing her son talk about it so happily wasn't able to help herself but smile sincerely as well.

  After breakfast, Veronica left to finish some paperwork and Grey and Yuna were left to py with the children for a fair bit of time. It was only when Galvin's seemingly boundless energy depleted wheopped pying.

  "Seriously, this child... He really doesn't know when to stop until he runs out of energy. He must have caused quite the trouble for the both of you." ［Veronica］

  "We also had fun, so there's o worry about it, Missus Veronica." ［Yuna］

  "Right, and it's nothing pared to letting us stay over. You even allowed us to cook i." ［Grey］

  "Well, it's only proper to treat guests like that. Anyway, aren't you two still going somewhere?" ［Veronica］

  It was only when Veronica mentio that Grey and Yuna remembered something important. They had just remembered that they still had a date. Their first proper date ever sihey became a couple.

  "Ah, but before you go, you should probably dress up a bit more." ［Veronica］

  Veroniented with a slight trace of on her face, making Grey and Yuna look at their outfits simultaneously. They realized that they were wearing casual wears.

  Heeding Veronica's reminder, Grey went to their room to ged into an outfit fit foing out and fixed himself. He made sure to put in a lot of effort as he wao show how important their date was to Yuna.

  As for Yuna, she was taken away by Vanessa into her room. Veronica wao help out Yuna in putting make-up on. Although Yuna knew a little bit about it, it was still best to seek help from an expert.

  "Alright, stay still, Yuna." ［Veronica］

  "U-Un!" ［Yuna］

  Veronica said as she prepared a certain type of make-up powder and lightly tapped it on Yuna's face. After her face she then did her eyes, her lips, and then sprayed some kind of perfume on her.

  It took a few minutes before Veronica finished and during that time, she was havireme fun dolling up Yuna. As for the person subjected to the makeup, she felt like she was a mannequin being dressed up in clothing stores.

  "Alright, you open your eyes now." ［Veronica］

  When Yuna opened my eyes, what greeted her was her refle in the mirror. Her appearance didn't ge that much, but there were many noticeable things caused by makeup.

  Yuna's lips became glossier and softer, her eyeshes became more pronounced, and a slight rosy hue could be seen on her cheeks. It was on a pletely different level thahe Landevar household's maids did her makeup.

  "Since Yuna was already pretty, I'm sure with these little touches, Grey's heart will skip a beat!" ［Veronica］

  "Really...?" ［Yuna］

  "I'm sure of it. Actually, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you will garhe attention of all men during your date." ［Veronica］

  "Missus Veronica, that's a littー" ［Yuna］

  "No, I'm telling you that that will really happen! But don't worry, even if they try to do something against you, they won't be able to, especially with Grey around. They'll just fail miserably!" ［Veronica］

  Veronica decred with a triumphant expression id out on her face. Yuna wao deny her words, but couldn't do so. After all, in their dates before, she experienced what Veronica just said.

  Though Yuna didn't really care about hoeople looked at her. All that mattered to her was Grey. As much as possible, she wahe both of them to enjoy their date like normal couples do.

  "Well, enough about that, let's pick out a dress for you . e on Yuna, there's no time to dawdle!" ［Veronica］

  "Y-Yes!" ［Yuna］

  Now that the makeup part was done, Veronica opened up her grand closet and revealed a rge colle of clothing. It tained everything a woman could wish for and was all beautiful.

  Now, Yuna really has bee a mannequin. From dresses to fort wears, Veronica made her try everything she could. Veronica was really thankful that she has around the same figure as Yuna. Thanks to that, she could have fun dressing up Yuna like a little sister she never had.

  While she was dressing up Yuna, Veronica gave her a lot of tips and tricks regarding makeup and dresses. She also mentioned some teiques which she used to capture Cedric's heart. It was a total girl talk no man could ever intervene.

  About half an hour ter, in front of the rge stairways, Grey awaited patiently for Yuna as he checked whether his attire was alright. He was wearing one of Cedric's old attires which Veronica had pushed him to wear and also had a few butlers help him out.

  Rather than a normal person on a date, Grey looked more like a prih the clothes he wore. Even his hair arted differently making him look er and more alluring as it fully revealed his handsome face.

  "Uh... Umm... Grey..." ［Yuna］

  Whilst Grey was fixing his attire, Yuna's figure slowly desded dowairs. Veronica was following behind her with a satisfied smile on her face. She looked like she had just made a very beautiful masterpiece.

  Yuna's natural look was already exceptionally beautiful, and having her wear makeup upped her mature appeal. She was really stunning, especially when coupled with the white dress she was wearing.

  "Wh... What do you think?" ［Yuna］

  "Um, it's good... I think..." ［Grey］

  "Oh, I see..." ［Yuna］

  When Grey said those words, Yuna became visibly crestfallen. Well, of course she would be, who wouldn't be? She spent a lot of effort in preparing, after all, only to get plimented in such a crude way. Even Veroni the background looked at Grey with a disappointed face.

  Grey immediately realized his mistake the moment she saw Yuna's dejected expression, making him paniside. It wasn't his iion to hurt Yuna, it was just that he couldn't get the right words to pliment her.

  "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that... You were just so stunning that I couldn't find any words to pliment you. Even now, my heart is still rag that I think I'm going crazy. Anyway, what I meant to say was... You look perfect, more beautiful than anything else in the world." ［Grey］

  His face getting increasingly red as the seds passed by, Grey id out his true feelings bare to Yuna. He partially covered his face to try and hide his flustered expression, but all it did make it more obvious.

  The deje Yu now was gone. All she had ure bliss blooming in her heart as she heard Grey's sincere words. Her face was also as red as Grey when she realized how cheesy Grey's words were.

  "Then what are you two waiting for? You don't have all the time in the world, now do you? Get going already!" ［Veronica］

  Veronica's ent broke the sweet atmosphere surrounding Grey and Yuna. They had totally fotten that they weren't alone. If it wasn't for Veronica's intervention, they would have been trapped in their own worlds for a couple more minutes.

  "Then, we'll be going now." ［Grey］

  "Thank you, Missus Veronica." ［Yuna］

  "No problem. Just make sure you have a lot of fun, okay?" ［Veronica］

  ""We will."" ［Grey and Yuna］

  A rge smile floating on her face, Veronica then urged Grey and Yuna to head out of the mansion and enjoy their day. She waved her hand goodbye as she saw them off the gates and into the open city.

  Sihey left the mansion which was in the noble's district, there weren't that many people to be seen, but the moment they stepped out of the noble's district, they quickly gathered the attention of many.

  It wasn't the first time that it happened but now that they were in the capital, there were more eyes looking at them than before. The word unfortable would just be an uatement of what they were feeling.

  'Is this the punishment for walking beside such a beautiful girl?' ［Grey］

  Grey thought to himself as he bore the intense gres of hundreds of men being directed at him. It was as if they were b a hole through him.

  "Grey, we should probably take a carriage." ［Yuna］

  "I also think that's a good idea." ［Grey］

  In order to avoid the burning stares of the crowd, as soon as the two of them saw a carriage, they immediately took it and asked the an to head to the restaurant.

  Although they thought it ity that they couldn't enjoy the date like how they thought they would, it was for the best that they took the carriage. Being uhe stant stares of the crowd really burdeheir minds.

  After a few minutes of travel, they finally arrived at their mystery destination, and after paying the an, they then hopped out of the carriage, once again being the ter of attention.

  To avoid the attention bearing down upon them, Yuna and Grey quickly ehe restaurant without much thought and took a table for the two. They didn't even have time to read the restaurant's signboard.

  Although they also garnered a lot of attention ihe restaurant, it was nothing in parison to the ohey felt outside. It was much bearable than being out in the open and much more fortable too.

  "Haah... That was really tiresome..." ［Yuna］

  "I know. Yuna's just too beautiful, not only the intense gres of men, we also had to ehe envious gazes of women." ［Grey］

  "Grey... you're kidding me, right?" ［Yuna］

  To Grey's words, Yuna's eyes and mouth opened wide in disbelief, and not being able to uand what Yu, all Grey could do was tilt his head slightly in fusion.

  "All the women were looking at you, not me!" ［Yuna］

  "Eh? Really?" ［Grey］

  "Really!! Geez, you should be more self-aware!" ［Yuna］

  A sudden outburst was made by Yuna out of pure disbelief from Grey's words. It was so out of character of her that Grey was greatly shocked by her as. Yuna then pouted after she had her outburst.

  It was only then that a sudden realization hit Grey. After he thought about it a little, all of his male acquaintances were det-looking people to the point that Grey thought his looks were just normal.

  Grey also thought that he was quite good looking when he first came to Merusia, but after some time he just got used to his appearance. Even when people were plimenting him, they thought it was just fttery.

  What Grey didn't know was that God made his looks one of the most excellent even amongst the most handsome men in Merusia. It was brought about by the difference of standards between mortals and a God.

  Though what Grey said was true, the women did look at Yuna with envious looks. Envy not only to her beauty but also envy that she was walking alongside Grey who was a treat for their eyes.

  "S... Sorry..." ［Grey］

  "It's fine as long as you uand. And I know this is selfish for me to say, but promise me that no matter how muen look at you, you'll... only look at me and only me..." ［Yuna］

  Yuna decred meekly with her voice decreasing in volume and her facreasingly getti red. The ce she had when she said those words was now o be seen. All that was left was a flustered girl.

  It was them that Grey uood that it wasn't only him who became possessive. Yuna also has her fair share of jealousy and anxiousness. After all, that's what being in a retionship is about.

  "Yes, I promise." ［Grey］

  "Th... That's good to hear..." ［Yuna］

  Yuna's face painted with a rosy tint, the mood betweewo quickly became sweet and sappy, but such mood didn't st very long.

  "Dear ers, I take your orders?" ［Waiter］

  Out of nowhere, a waiter suddenly appeared without the two of them notig, and asked them what their orders were. Needless to say, the mood was quickly broken because of the waiter's appearance.

  "Ah, we'll haveー" ［Grey］

  Ag normally, Grey sed the restaurant's menu and tried to order food, but when he saw the prices of each serving, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets from shock.

  Each of the dishes in the menu cost at least 300 kiels, and that's just one serving of a dish and not a whole meal! If they were to have a filling meal, it would cost them thousands of kiels. It was very expensive.

  It was only after they saw the menu that Grey and Yuna realized how fancy the restaurant looked. Just judging by the attire of the oing, it was easy to put together that what they entered was a very high-css restaurant.

  Grey wao bme the an for dropping them off in such a fancy restaurant but remembering their own attire, he couldn't really bme him. After all, the two of them looked like a prind a princess.

  Well, it wasn't that Grey and Yuna couldn't afford it. After all, their wealth alone was enough to put noble households to shame. Still, it was still shog to see such high prices on the menu.

  "Is there something wrong, sir?" ［Waiter］

  "Nothing. I'm just a little bit shocked. Yuna, pick out the dishes you want to eat. o hold yourself back, we're going to splurge today." ［Grey］

  "Are you sure? These dishes are quite expensive, you know?" ［Yuna］

  "Yeah, I know. But we're already here already, so might as well enjoy such a rare experience." ［Grey］

  "Well, if you say so...." ［Yuna］

  Oer another, Yuna ordered the dishes she took a fancy to. Well, rather than taking a fancy to, Yuna just straight up ordered everything in the menu without much thought. She was wearied eyes when doing so.

  The waiter was already shocked when Yuna said those words, but he became even more shocked when Grey said the same thing. It was the first time he saw people the whole menu, not just once, but twice!

  Grey and Yuna's date had just started and they're already off to a weird start. But well, all that mattered to them was having fun. Smiles were pstered on their faces as they looked forward to a hearty meal.
