Across the rge windows, into the open streets, the popuce busied themselves with their daily lives as the children ran around and pyed with bright smiles blooming on their i faces.

  Ihe restaurant a savory and aromatic smell drew the attention of many as the dishes were served oer another. Just the aesthetics of the dishes alone were fulfilling to the eyes. One could only look forward to what they like.

  "Enjoy your meal～." ［Waiter］

  After serving Grey and Yuana's meals, the waiter bowed his head slightly ahe two to their own devices. It was just not just him, other staff also helped out because of how much they ordered, making them stand out like a sore thumb.

  There were just four or five dishes, and there were dozens of dishes served to Grey and Yuna. It was to the point that they o leave the trays hem as there was no space left iable.

  Of course, it went without saying that with the number of dishes they ordered, the amount they paid was also astronomical. Well, not that it left a dent on their fihey still have quite the amount to spare.

  "Grey, what are you waiting for? Let's eat!" ［Yuna］

  Yuna said calmly whilst slig an expeeak skillfully in biteable pieces and then feeding it to her mouth gracefully. Her face then brightened up as she savored the exquisite fvors of the steak.

  "Thank you for the meal!" ［Grey］

  "A-Ah! T-Thank you for the meal!" ［Yuna］

  Yuna was so excited to eat that she fot to give her gratitude for the food she had just eaten. She quickly corrected herself in a hurry as soon as she saw Grey doing what she fot to do.

  "Alright, let's dig in!" ［Grey］

  "Un!" ［Yuna］

  After saying those words, Grey also partook in the meal and sliced his own piece of steak skillfully. Anticipating the taste of the steak, he fed it to himself. When he did, an unexpinable burst of fvor exploded in his mouth.

  There was a tinge of sourness and sweetness along with the natural savoriness of the meat. The juiess and tenderness of the meat was to the point that you would even doubt you were eati. It was very delicious!

  Other than when he was in the Landevar or Aldridge mansions, it was the first time Grey had eaten such high-css dishes. If it weren't for a fact that they were expensive, he would have loved to eat them daily.

  Oer anrey delivered a bite into his mouth and ehe fvors rushing in in his tongue tinuously. But of course, he didn't fet to mind his manners. The same also went for Yuna.

  'ht...' ［Grey］

  Just as he enjoyed his meal, Grey remembered something couples often do on their dates. He thely sliced a piece of his steak. With its juices spilling out with each slice, he used a spoon and...

  "Yuna, ahh～" ［Grey］

  ... he offered it to Yuna, askio open her mouth so that he could feed it to her. It made Yuna's eyes widen in shock a little as she wasn't expeg Grey to do such a thing.

  Yuna looked at Grey and the spoon bad forth for a little while, hesitant whether she should open her mouth or not. Just thinking about being spoon fed by Grey made her face show a reddish tint.

  "G-Grey... that... that's a little embarrassing..." ［Yuna］

  "But we're on a date, aren't we?" ［Grey］

  "Bu... But..." ［Yuna］

  Yuna wao dee Grey's offer as there were a lot of eyes in the restaurant but couldn't find the ce to do so. It was a rare opportunity frey to feed her and she didn't want to miss it.

  "O... Okay..." ［Yuna］

  "Then, ahh～" ［Grey］

  "U... Un..." ［Yuna］

  Ign the embarrassment, Yuna closed her eyes and slowly opened her mouth in a meek manner, allowing Grey to feed her with the steak he just cut retly. Her face became redder by the moment.

  "So, how was it?" ［Grey］

  "It... It tastes the same as mine, but it made my heart race fasteー Geez, what are you making me say?!" ［Yuna］

  Yuna tried to hide her flustered face with her hands, but it was useless. Her adorable pointy ears betrayed her and showed the world how red she was. It was one of her cute sides Grey wao keep for himself.

  It took a little while for Yuna to calm down. When she lowered down her hands, a still red pouting face was revealed as she looked at Grey as if she was sulking. She then cut her steak just like Grey did.

  "Grey, your turn." ［Yuna］

  "Eh? You'll feed me too?" ［Grey］

  "We're on a date, aren't we?" ［Yuna］

  Using Grey's words against him, Yuna offered to feed him with the same steak she ate from and asked Grey to open his mouth. It was worth noting that her face was still red when she was doing so.

  Unlike Yuna, Grey closed his eyes and opened his mouth widely without any speck of hesitation. But even after a few seds had passed, there still wasn't any food delivered to his mouth.

  Curious about what's wrong, Grey opened one of his eyes and peeked at Yuna, only to see her giggling mischievously to herself. It was only then that Grey realized he had been had.

  "That's payback for all the times you've teased me." ［Yuna］

  Yuna said as she tinued giggling at the thought of having got her revenge on such a silly topic. She thehe steak she offered to Grey a another bright smile bloomed on her face.

  As frey, he wasn't mad or anything. Rather, being pranked by Yuna made him chuckle a little as he looked at the happy expression his girlfriend was wearing. He then tinued with his meal with the same warm expression.

  After their early lun that expensive restaurant, Yuna and Grey then headed out to the market pd shop for the things that took our i, be it food, accessories, or anything at all.

  "Grey, Grey, I found Kiria dy!" ［Yuna］

  Yuna squealed excitedly as she poi a certain dy in a sweets stand filled with all sorts of fruits and dies. It was a dy that Grey wasn't familiar with. All he knew was that it looked like a lollipop.

  "What is it again?" ［Grey］

  "It's Kiria dy! It's really delicious!" ［Yuna］

  "Oh, so you know about it, missy?" ［Vendor］

  The vendor asked when he saw Yuedly talking about it. Who wouldn't be ied? After all, Yuna looked like one of those excited grade schoolers on a field trip Grey saw in his past life.

  "Un! I've tasted it once back at Moterno." ［Yuna］

  "Hahaha, I see... Well, if that's the case, then I'll treat you to two for 35 kiels only for two Kiria dies, instead of 40." ［Vendor］

  "Really!?" ［Yuna］

  "Of course! It's a gift for you two lovebirds!" ［Vendor］

  "Th-Thank you!" ［Yuna］

  Although she was a little embarrassed by the vendor's words, she still accepted his offer heless. After they hahe payment to the vendor, he then gave them a pair of Kiria dies.

  Seeing how excited Yuna's face was when she uned the dy, Grey couldn't himself but be intrigued about it. They then sat on a nearby bench, uning and tasting it at the same time.

  ""Sour!"" ［Grey and Yuna］

  The moment the dy touched their tongues, an intense sour taste pierced their taste buds making them subsciously scream. It was so sour that tears almost formed in their eyes.

  But like what Yuna had previously experiehe dies' taste ged from extremely sour to a pleasant citric taste, then into a sweeter taste, leaving Grey surprised and curious at the same time.

  "It's delicious, isn't it?" ［Yuna］

  "It is. And its fvor keeps on ging." ［Grey］

  "I had the same rea when I had it the first time, too! I even thought that Miss Aria was just making fun of us at first." ［Yuna］

  "Miss Aira was the one who treated you to this?" ［Grey］

  "A-Ah... Un..." ［Yuna］

  For reasons unknown to Grey, when he asked Yuna about it, her face slowly turned beet red. Yuna had just remembered about the time when she and Aria were talking about romand giving her advice.

  At that time Yuna thought about taking it slowly like Aria had said, but who would have thought Grey would fess to her just a few days after. Now that they are a couple, remembering the not so distant past made her a little flustered.

  "Is something on your mind?" ［Grey］

  "Um, I just remembered the time when Miss Aria advised me to take things at my own pace when it es to love. I was so anxious about fessing to you back then. Miss Aria lectured me because of it... It was the same day when you cooked pizza for Liz..." ［Yuna］

  Hearing her words, Grey also recalled the past when Kris also advised him. He had hought that Yuna would have experiehe same thing, and from Kris' fiancée, no less.

  "Pfft." ［Grey］

  "Don't ugh! I'm already embarrassed just by remembering it!" ［Yuna］

  "Ah, it's not because of that. It's because Mister Kris also gave me advice during that time. But rather than taking things at my own pace, he told me to fess as soon as I could. I just found it funny that their advice tradicted each other's." ［Grey］

  Grey expined as he tio chuckle. He thely caressed Yuna's cheeks with his big, warm hand. His eyes full of affe and his heart rag as he touched his beloved.

  "Well, I'm really grateful for Mister Kris' advice. Because of it, I mao make myself fess my feelings for you." ［Grey］

  As he said those words, Yuna also reciprocated his feelings and also held the hand caressing her cheeks with with own hand and closed her eyes as she felt his warmth. Just like Grey's, her heart also raced like crazy.

  If it weren't for the fact that they were still in public, Grey would have embraced Yuna tightly and kissed her like there was no tomorrow. Luckily, he was able to suppress his desires with great self-trol.

  "Oh, I just finished my dy." ［Grey］

  "Mine's fioo..." ［Yuna］

  "Then why don't we tinue our date?" ［Grey］

  "Un!" ［Yuna］

  With their hands iwined with each other's, Yuna and Grey tinued shopping in the marketpce. They bought clothes, new ingredients, and of course tried out new foods, and at some point in time...

  "Hey, Grey, let's just pretend we didn't see this pce." ［Yuna］

  "I agree. We don't have any good memories in this pce, anyways." ［Grey］

  ... they arrived in front of a stable where you rent a horse for a limited amount of time, but after remembering what happened wheried it out ba Galderia, they just acted like the pce did and tinued on with their date.

  Sihere weren't as maertai oriented establishments on Merusia pared to the ones oh, Grey and Yuna's date became very simir to their previous dates ba Galderia and Moterno.

  They headed to a theater and watched a py, headed to the city garden and enjoyed our time there, ao the library and read some books. They also explored a portion of the capital which took quite some time.

  It was almost 4 iernoon, and Yuna and Grey were about to clude their date, when they met a funny looking man handing out flyers in the open. It was a who was very eye-catg.

  "A ival?" ［Yuna］

  "They seem to be here for the foundiival, and look like they just opened retly... Do you want to go there?" ［Grey］

  "I'd love to but it's already this te. Missus Veronid the children might get worried about us." ［Yuna］

  Receiving a flier from the , Grey and Yu about a new pce just a couple hundred meters away. Both of them wao go but wondered if they should be doing so.

  The problem was going home te. If they did, they might get scolded. They would also like to avoid the children w for them. However, they wao enjoy their date as much as possible. They were stu a dilemma.

  "Ah! Then how about we only check it out today and then we'll e back the ime we have free time. That way, we could have a little fun!" ［Grey］

  "I-Is that really alright...?" ［Yuna］

  "Don't worry too much about it, let's go!" ［Grey］

  Grabbing Yuna's hand, Grey followed the flyers' dires and headed to where the ival was. Yuna's hands held his tighter as they raedly towards the ival at a rexed pace.

  It only took them a few mio finally arrive in front of the ival. They didn't even break a single sweat even with how much they ran. To them, it wasn't even sidered a jog.

  pared to the ivals ba Earth, the ival in front of them was fairly simir, only differing iheme. As for the structures, it retty simir save for the meical ones like a ferris wheel or a merry-go-round.

  And since amusement parks do in Merusia, even though it was the opening day, It was easy to see that there were hundreds of people already there, lining up ly for their turn.

  "Waah～" ［Yuna］

  "It's your first time in one, right?" ［Grey］

  "t is, and it's really amazing... There are so many strahings here. Do you know what that thing is?" ［Yuna］

  Yuna poi a bunch of vibrant spherical objects which were filled with air and tied with strings. They floated in the air with only a thin string preventing them from flying freely into the vast sky.

  "Ah, those are balloonsー" ［Grey］

  Grey suddenly stopped his words as he realized the absurdity of his words. After all, acc to God, Merusia was supposed to be a medieval-themed fantasy world. It bothered him why there were balloons in the ival.

  The presence of refrigerators, stoves, and faucets are uandable because of the presenana crystals, but balloons, which were made with syic materials, didn't make sense whatsoever.

  The mrey thought about the existence of balloons, the more his head hurted. In the end, he decided tet the topid ouch that topic ever again. He just left it to the fact that magic existed.

  "Young man, missy, want to try out our shooting ra's 5 kiels for three shots! If you get a perfect score, you get a special prize!" ［Stall owner］

  While Grey and Yuna were still admiring the ival, one of the stall owners suddenly called out to them and asked them to try out his game. Yuna in particur looked like she wao py it.

  "Do you want to try?" ［Grey］

  "Eh? But didn't you say we're just going to look around?" ［Yuna］

  "Well, it's still about 4:30, a single game wouldn't hurt, and... you looked like you really wao py it. But just ory, okay?" ［Grey］

  "T-That's fine!" ［Yuna］

  Hearing that she could py, Yuna's mood immediately brighteo the point where even her ears were fpping up and down from happiness aement. Her eyes were even sparkling.

  "Alright, then Mister, we'll have ory. It's 5 kiels, right?" ［Grey］

  "That's right, 3 shots for 5 kiels." ［Stall Owner］

  After paying the stall owner 5 copper s, he then gave Grey and Yuna a detly-sturdy bow and three light arrows which had their tips blunted so that they 't hurt people.

  The rules of the game were simple. There are 15 targets, each varying in distand points, with the highest being 10 and the lowest being 1. The more points you score, the better the price you get. It was just like the ones ba Earth.

  "Hm? Missy's going ro be the one shooting?" ［Stall owner］

  "Ah, yeah... Is there a problem?" ［Grey］

  "No, nothing at all..." ［Stall owner］

  Or so the stall owner said, but iy he was still baffled that Yuna was going to be the one shooting. He had initially expected that it would be Grey so that he could show off to Yuna, like all other couples do. He didn't expect the woman to be the oo do it.

  As for Yuna, who was subject to the stall owner's curiosity, she was testing out the bow and approximated the distaween her and the targets. It only took her a few seds to do so.

  "Alright, you start whenever you want." ［Stall owner］

  "Un!" ［Yuna］

  With the permission from the stall owner, Yuna then focused her attention at the farthest target which gives 10 points if hit successfully. Without aation, she fired arrow after arrow, hitting the target three times ihan a sed.

  Since Yuna has been training with other csses and attributes with Grey, such a simple task is as easy as breathing for her. She could even hit a target that is a kilometer away as long as she see it.

  But of course, that wasn't something the stall owner knew. In fact, his mouth is wide open in agape and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets ier witnessing Yuna's quick performance.

  "A... Amazing... Missy... You've earned perfect points in your first try. You must be quite skilled to use the bow like that!" ［Stall owner］

  "Ah, thank you." ［Yuna］

  "Well, since you've scored a perfect 30, you pick out any price you want." ［Stall owner］

  "Then... I'll have... that!" ［Yuna］

  There were rge stuffed toys, beautiful accessories, and other enting prices which many dies would easily pick, but what Yuna picked was a simple yet elegant looking bracelet.

  "Are you sure, that's not worth as much as the other prices, you know?" ［Stall owner］

  "Um... Then I have two of those...?" ［Yuna］

  "Alright, if that's what you want." ［Stall owner］

  After Yuna and the stall reed on the prize, the stall owhen headed to where the prizes were and picked out two of the bracelets Yuna picked, giving it to her soon after.

  "Here you go, missy." ［Stall owner］

  "Thank you." ［Yuna］

  "Haha, it's my pleasure." ［Stall Owner］

  Upon receiving the bracelets, Yuna slightly bowed her head to the stall owner and she then tirolling in the ival with Grey. They were about to leave after some time of strolling, when suddenly...

  "Whoa, did you see that?!"

  "She's so good at it, she didn't eve hit once!"

  "Is she a student from the Royal Academy?!"

  ... a rge gathering of crowds by the ival's entrance mao catch their attention.
