Case 22: City date.
Case 22: City date.
We decided to look around the city today.
This time around we're not friends anymore, but lovers, so it is a date. I'm feeling happy just thinking about that.
But before we can get out of the room, Emy stops us.
''We need to do something about our ears, people will look at us, it's annoying.''
That's true, elves are by nature a secluded race, they only live with their own people, and only a small part of them travel outside. So naturally there's not a whole lot of elves in the capital, we'll get a lot of unwanted attention if we go like this.
''Well, I can't use illusion magic, so.'' Liana shrugs.
''I can try it.'' I reply.
I've skimmed through a lot of magic before, I'm pretty sure I can make some small illusions.
Controlling the mana in the air, I manipulated the light surrounding our ears, making them look like normal human ears.
''Welp, it's done.'' I nod after seeing our ears. Even the earrings on my ears have disappeared, too.
Mana users with a certain level of mastery might see through this, but most normal people can't, that's good enough.
Now we have the appearances of young and beautiful noble ladies, human ladies, of course. Let's do a final attire check.
Emy is rarely wearing a black skirt today, with knee-length black socks and a long-sleeved white shirt. Liana has a simple long green shirt dress on, and I'm wearing white shorts with white thigh-length socks, together with an oversized light blue T-shirt. Also a white scarf, to hide the hickeys on my neck. It's very fortunate that the weather is chilly enough for this.
Aight, good to go.
Walking on the street with my lovers on both sides holding my hands, I'm looking around to find a shop that sells food. We decided to eat outside today. I nagged Justia and old Julius for some money earlier, it was easy. Jealous? Just reborn as a princess, then.
Fortunately, they do use paper money like our country as well, so I don't need to carry loads of coins, that's a waste of my strength. The currency is called K, stands for Kira. The old first Emperor was a narcissist all along. Or he just didn't have any say in this, because he died fighting the demon king. LOL.
We got 1000 K, which I was told that it was a lot. Normal people need around 50 K to live in the capital for a month. And we just got 20 times that for an allowance. Glad I didn't choose to be a lobotomized eldritch creature living in a monster land of anything.
Oh, there's a pretty clean-looking bakery there, I could eat some bread.
''How about some breads for breakfast?'' I speak up, pointing to the bakery across the street.

''Sure.'' Liana replies while Emy just nods.
So we walk into the bakery, and there's a lot of bread of all kinds sitting behind glass displays, this is great.
We're now taking our time choosing the bread. In the end, we decided to take one of each type to try out all of them.
Walking out of the store, each of us is carrying a pretty sizeable paper bag.
''Let's get some drinks and go somewhere quiet to eat.'' Liana suggests.
So we head to another shop nearby, this one is a cafe, I'm surprised by how close to a modern cafe it looks.
And they somehow have cola and a bunch of different Earth drinks, what the hell. Needless to say, they also have plastic cups and straws.
I guess there's that one Saint in the past who really loved drinks and they made all of these, huh.
I and Liana get colas, and Emy gets a lemonade, and then we exit the cafe with the drinks.
Now outside, we just need to find a place to sit down and eat, I can just lift all of us up really high in the sky and stay there for a while, but that's a horror show, not a breakfast anymore.
After walking a bit more, Liana spots a park in the corner, so we decide to go there immediately, mainly because I don't want to heat up the bread again if we leave them for too long.
The park surrounds a small lake, there's not much here, except a lot of trees.
''Hah...''
Ah~ This is refreshing.
We find square tables near the lake, so we sit down next to each other on one of them, placing the food and drinks on the table. I then make some ice cubes out of magic, open the lid, and throw them in.
''Want some?''
''Give me three cubes.''
''Me two.''
''Okay.''
I make some ice for them, and then I start to take out a piece of bread to eat, I'm starving. Hmm...
There are practically no people here, I swear even ghosts hate this place, wonder why.
But now that's not important, what's important is this French toast is insanely good, I think they call it something else, but it's French toast, I googled it.
''Mhmm~ Try this one.'' I hold it out for Emy and Liana using one hand. My other hand holding the cola that I'm drinking right now.
Each of them takes a bite at the same time.
After chewing a bit, they both give me a thumbs up and a nod. I have to make our chef cook this for me next time.
''Mhn??'' Liana takes a sip of her cola, then her body shakes a bit, her face confused, I guess this is the first time she has tried a carbonated drink.
Emy is looking at Liana curiously, so I give her my cup, after a sip, her eyes widen a bit, and then she takes another sip. She likes this, huh.
''Let's all share the drinks, then.'' I suggest.
So the peaceful time continues for a while with us trying out the breads until we finish all of them. Thankfully there's a trash bin nearby, so I don't have to carry all of the trash.
Walking out of the park, I'm thinking of going somewhere fun, now that I'm not hungry anymore.
''Where do we go next?'' I ask.
''No idea, just walk for a bit, then we should find something. This is the capital after all, no?'' Liana shrugs.
''Makes sense.'' I reply.
After 10 minutes of just walking, we finally see something interesting, it's an aquarium. I've never been to one even in my past life.
''That?'' I point to the building.
''Sure.'' Liana also seems interested.
''Mhmm.''
The ticket for each person costs 5 K, which is pretty hardcore, for normal people that is, we're rich baby.
A guide leads us to a pretty big underground space, where various marine species can be seen through the glass walls.
Now all three of us are going around aimlessly, looking at everything.
Not sure if it's because this is another world, but the animals here look pretty weird in my eyes, like, there's one shark-looking motherfucker over there with 2 pairs of eyes who has been staring at me for a while now.
So currently I'm having a staring contest with this guy, try get me, idiot.
Emy takes this chance to give me a back hug, her head resting on my shoulder. Liana is just scanning everywhere.
After an intense fight, the stupid fish lost, and it ran away, weakling.
Outside of the aquarium, we're now finding something else to play. I mean, it was pretty good for some time, but we can't be there forever.
''How about a theatre? I heard they do plays here.'' Liana suggests.
''I like that.'' I turn around to look at Emy, and she nods as well.
We found one after a bit of searching and asking. The play is just about to happen as well. How lucky.
We bought the best tickets, which allow us to sit on the second floor of the theatre, in a private room.
I'm sitting on the couch with Emy and Liana leaning on me. The view is pretty good here, I can see all the other customers as well.
Oh, they're starting.
The play is a romance tragedy, it's not over yet, but I can already see all the flags there, I bet one of the leads will die at the end. You'll understand what I'm talking about.
The female lead with an incurable deadly disease got into an arranged marriage with a handsome, rich but cold Duke, and the story is full of misunderstandings. What the hell is this? Otome Isekai? Is that the famous Duke of the North? Does he have a condition where he's losing his sanity over time? Did he accidentally murder his parents? Is that why he's a douchebag now?
Oh, they're finally making out, after 3 whole years into the marriage, I don't really understand why they're being this difficult with each other.
I mean, I'm not a romance master or anything, but I got two girlfriends, that's one more than either of them, so they can all go to hell.
Talking about my girlfriends, this is not the place for fucking, guys, so stop groping me...
The se- the play was good, turns out the female lead didn't die at the end, they got a happy ending.
It was lunch, so I asked one of the attendants of the theatre for restaurants. And we're now in a supposedly top restaurant with the best food in the capital, it's hella expensive, but that's why we got this much money, am I right?
The interior looks very clean and luxurious as well, there's even soft music playing somewhere.
And the attendant was right, the food here could even rival our chef's dishes, the texture of the steak is divine, is this wagyu?
I have to try all the desserts as well.
We had a good time at the restaurant, maybe I should go there more often.
After chilling in another cafe for a while, it was time to go home, we needed to sleep early today to prepare for tomorrow, so I decided to go back, in the hope that if I sold my body to these two beasts here earlier, I could sleep the full night.
