"Grandpa, I talked to my friends, and now I know all the good places that I need to visit. We'll have breakfast in a hotel first and then go to an amusement park."
"We'll also watch a movie after that and then have dinner in the night before coming back. How's that?" Lucifer asked the old man as they entered a cab.
Before the old man could even answer, Lucifer continued, "And don't worry about money. Since I won first place for three years, I received plenty of monetary rewards as well."
The old man just kept looking at Lucifer, who was now seventeen years old. Lucifer's face looked even more mature than it did when he was younger.
There was some kind of charm on his face as he looked no less than a model. His eyes were filled with life, attracting others towards him.
As for his long silver hair, they were tied into a ponytail near the bottom, which seemed to suit him, making him look even more mature.
"Nope. Today is my treat. All the spending will be done by me," Grandpa Chi answered Lucifer as he smiled.
"But Grandpa-"
"No but! Do you even remember what day it is today?" The old man asked, cutting Lucifer's words short.
"Today? Tuesday, right?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
"You actually forgot," the old man answered as he laughed.
"Today is the Third of January. It's your birthday today. You're officially seventeen years old now," Grandpa Chi said as he rubbed Lucifer's head.
"Happy birthday, my dear Grandson. I'm so happy to have you in my life."
The old man didn't know when Lucifer's birthday was, so he treated the day Lucifer was found as his birthday. Today, it had been exactly seven years since the old man brought Lucifer out of the sea.
"Me too, Grandpa," Lucifer replied as he hugged the old man tightly. "I actually forgot. Thank you for remembering."
Hearing the conversation of the two, the driver of the cab started smiling wryly.
"Ah, are you guys going to stay emotional, or are you going to tell me where to go? We're standing still since you guys sat," he said.
"Alex, we'll follow your plan. Tell him where to go," Grandpa Chi told Lucifer.
Lucifer brought out a paper from his pocket and read the first destination.
"Hotel Transia, on Seventh Street," he told the driver.
The cab was finally started as it advanced towards the hotel Lucifer had spoken about.
In the distance, another car started following the cab. There were many people inside the car and not only the dark-haired man.
In fact, there was even a girl who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old.
....
Lucifer and Grandpa Chi got out of the cab as it stopped at the entrance of a massive hotel. Grandpa Chi was surprised to see that they had come to this expensive place.
Lucifer noticed the worries on the face of the old man. He realized that his Grandpa wasn't rich. And he probably couldn't afford to pay the bill for this hotel.
Unfortunately, when he planned the day and the destinations, he had thought that he'd pay with his prize money.
He didn't know Grandpa Chi would insist on paying. He didn't want the old man to feel embarrassed before him, so he played a little trick.
"This is Hotel Transia? I thought it'd be a cute place? This massive place looks so ugly. I don't want to eat here. All those great expectations went down the drain. This place is really a letdown," Lucifer said, letting his grandfather hear him while also making sure that his voice didn't reach the hotel staff.
"Come, let's find a better place," he said as he caught the hands of the old man.
Seeing Lucifer reject this expensive place, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried about how he was going to pay for this hotel.
"Ah, there it is! Such a cute place! Grandpa, I want to eat there! Can we please?" Lucifer suddenly asked the old man as he tugged his hand like a little boy.
Grandpa Chi looked in the direction where Lucifer was pointing. As he saw the place, he shook his head.
"You want to eat at that cheap stall? It's your birthday; we can't do that," Grandpa Chi said as he noticed that Lucifer was talking about eating at a roadside stall.
"Come on. I heard those places serve great food. Please, Grandpa?" Lucifer insisted.
He knew that this place was cheap, but it was going to save the money of the old man. In any case, it wasn't as if the food they served was bad. It's just that they didn't have the infrastructure of big hotels.
"Sigh. Fine. I can't disappoint the birthday boy." Grandpa Chi finally caved in as he started approaching the stall with Lucifer.
The two of them ordered breakfast for themselves, which was served within minutes.
There were a few ordinary chairs placed around the stall where the two of them sat as they started eating.
"Ummm, pretty good," Lucifer commented as he ate breakfast. It really wasn't bad at all. He was happy about choosing this place.
"You're right. The food is actually good," the old man agreed. After finishing up, the two of them ordered seconds.
After finishing up, Grandpa Chi paid the bill, which was actually very cheap here.
"Where to next?" he asked Lucifer.
"Next is the turn of an Amusement Park. There's a really good one in the city," Lucifer answered.
The two of them booked another cab as they went to the amusement park that Lucifer talked about.
Entering the park, the two of them started going on rides together. A young man and an old man walked together in the amusement park, sitting in any ride they found fun.
They even ate ice cream and went to the haunted house together.
They had spent around five hours in the amusement park, and it was already four in the afternoon.
"Do you want to go on any other ride?" The old man asked Lucifer as they came out of the ferris wheel.
"Nope. I think we already got in the best ones. Let's move on to the next item in the schedule. A movie! I heard my friends say that there's a good movie that was just released!"
Lucifer and Grandpa Chi left the amusement park and went to the nearest theater, where they bought the tickets for the movie Lucifer talked about.
The dark-haired man didn't leave their trail as he still had to put his plan forth.
The movie Lucifer selected was a superhero movie that depicted the battle of Dark Variants and the righteous Variants. It was a movie called "Revenge of the Variant."
