He's really kind. When I was crying, Ceres-kun held my hand and fell asleep...
I must have found comfort in the warmth of his hand because I drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
"Huh?! ...Ceres-kun?!"
Could it be that he couldn't sleep because he was worried?
"Good morning."
"Good morning, Ceres-kun."
Our eyes meet, and Ceres-kun quickly lets go of my hand.
"Oh, sorry."
There's no need to apologize...
"Heheheh, it's okay, thank you very much... you were holding my hand because I was crying, weren't you? You are so kind Ceres-kun."
Ceres-kun, scratching his embarrassed face, looks incredibly cute.
Am I really his sl*ve? It feels more like spending time with a loving boyfriend. No, that's disrespectful to Ceres-kun. It's like being with a kind lover.
"Then, shall we go out together?"
"Ceres-kun, where are we going?"
"We'll have breakfast and then we'll go to the guild."
"Eating out in the morning? That's great..."
Come to think of it, when was the last time I dined out? I can't even remember anymore.
"We could have eaten at this inn if we had asked in advance, but there are usually good places for morning meals around here."
"Well, I've hardly eaten out since I married, so I'm looking forward to it."
"Yes, I was a member of the hero party and we always ate out or camped out from trip to trip, let's just go eat when we're hungry."
"Yes."
Now that I think about it, I was sold the last time I tried to dine out... Well, let's forget about that.
"They say the breakfast here is really good."
It's a very stylish restaurant. I've never been to such a place with a man before.
When we enter the restaurant, Ceres-kun pulls out a chair for me.
This is how lovers treat each other, isn't it? It's completely different from what I'm used to. No, it's not entirely different; I've never seen Zect or Sector do something like this. Ceres-kun is just being kind.
But it's also a bit troublesome. I sit down and look at the menu, but I don't know what to order.
"Shizuko-san, I recommend the morning plate. Is that okay with you?"
"Oh, really? I'll leave it up to you."
He's so considerate. Because I was unsure?
"This is amazing, there's so much food on the plate. Mmm! It's really delicious."
"I'm glad you like it! It's indeed delicious, but I want to eat Shizuko-san's cooking."
"Heheheh, is that so? If that's the case, I'll buy the ingredients and I'll make it for you."
"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it."
He'd rather have my cooking than this luxurious meal... I'm so happy.
But it's not just that...
He's been smiling at me and looking into my eyes ever since we arrived, and with such a warm gaze... Haha, it's making me a bit flustered.
"What's wrong, Ceres-kun, you're staring at me like that."
"No, I'm just happy."
I'm the one who's happy.
"Well, I'm glad you feel that way."
Just sharing a meal like this... it's truly enjoyable. This is the first time I've experienced such a happy moment.
