Lenz Tower, Espat.
Lith was walking through the streets of the inner section of Lenz City, which was the Lenz Tower area. This place was the one where the most wealthy people of Espat lived.
Lith wasn’t here to meet anyone rich however, but to raise his class from F to C.
Previously, Jingmei Guild was in the suburbs of Lenz City but when Lith went there, he was told that the guild’s headquarters had been shifted to the inner section of the city and so here he was, roaming the streets, sightseeing and being on the lookout for the guild.
Just as he was wondering about a few things and thinking as to why the guild may have shifted from its place, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
He looked behind him and saw a beautiful blonde-haired lady with blue eyes, wearing yellow robes smiling at him.
Lith’s senses were very keen and he would know if he was in any immediate danger. Add on to that, he had a very high grade protective artifact on him given by his mother so he wasn’t very worried of being killed. He also was in a very secure place of the world and so, he didn’t raise his guard up in alarm when he felt someone pat his shoulder.
Noticing the person standing in front of him, Lith smiled and said, “it’s only been a day since I dropped out, Miss Emilia. Do you miss me already?”
Emilia rolled her eyes hearing this. He was still as shameless as he could get.
“I was here for some work in the Lenz Tower and was going back to the academy but stumbled onto you. There’s no other reason.” Emilia said in a soft tone.
Lith smirked and said, “sure, sure. Whatever you say, Miss Emilia.”
Hearing his sarcastic reply, Emilia said, “believe me, I am not lying.”
Lith kept the smirk and said, “isn’t it too big of a coincidence though?”
“It’s not–”
“Special discount! Special discount! The chef’s special chocolate parfait is now 50% off! Special discount! Special discount!”
Emilia was interrupted by a waiter who just walked out of a shop, a few meters away from them and yelled out the limited period offer of the place he was working at.
Emilia stopped speaking and heard the announcement.
As the man finished speaking, she got interested in knowing how the parfait would taste and be like. Lith and her hadn’t explored the deserts section much and parfait was one of the things they planned to make when they were together again later.
Lith looked at Emilia’s expression carefully and he noticed that she seemed interested in the parfait offer.
He cleared his throat to grab her attention and when she did, he said to her with a smile, “do you wanna try that parfait? I remember saying that the next time we meet, we’ll make that. Well, we did meet but I don’t think we can cook; you’re busy, I am busy, so why not just have that parfait there?”
Emilia thought for a bit and looked towards Sel.
Sel looked back at Emilia from a distance and simply nodded her head, giving her approval. The two didn’t need to talk to communicate and Sel knew exactly what Emilia was asking her.
Emilia had a small smile form on her face as she got Sel’s approval. She looked at Lith and said in a soft tone, “okay.”
Lith smiled and extending one of hands forward, he said, “come, let’s go.”
Emilia didn’t think too much and held his hand. There was no harm in doing so and she also was close to Lith as a friend, so she didn’t mind it.
Lith walked towards the place where the waiter was a few seconds ago.
Just as he entered inside along with Emilia, he saw two pretty girls in maid outfits standing.
The two girls noticed Lith and Emilia entering and they were about to greet them when they became slightly shocked looking at the two.
They both looked so stunning together. Lith looked extremely handsome to the maids and Emilia also looked very gorgeous. For a second the maids became speechless but they soon regained their composure, bowed and said with a happy smile,
“Welcome, dear guests!~ This way please.”
They showed Lith and Emilia their way and the two got towards the reception of the place.
At the reception, there was a handsome butler. He too found Lith and Emilia to be absolutely stunning but there seemed a little problem to the butler. He however ignored that and focused on the work on hand.
He smiled and said to Lith and Emilia, “thank you for visiting our cafe, dear guests. What place would you like to dine-in? The open area, semi-private area, or the private area?”
“The private area.” Lith didn’t even hesitate to answer that and said instantly.
The butler nodded and typing a few things on the computer in front of him, he said, “dear guests, please take a right from there and go straight. You’ll come across room 2 and that’s your private place to dine-in. Thank you.”
Lith nodded and walked towards room 2 while holding Emilia’s hand.
After they left, the butler said to himself softly, “damn, even guys who look like kids can score such gorgeous and beautiful ladies and here I am, working twelve hour shifts daily and unable to score even a single maid here even with my handsome looks. Sigh…”
What the butler didn’t know was that he just had a look at the Vampire Prince and also the revered War Angel of the world. He simply thought of them as two common folks with good looks, that’s it. Had he known they were such bigshots, he would’ve immediately passed out and after waking up, would’ve felt a sense of accomplishment and happiness.
Lith and Emilia reached their room. It was a dark brown wooden themed room and there were good lightings and an aromatic smell assaulted their nose. It was coming from the fragrant oils present at the corners of the room, getting slowly heated.
There was a round table present at the middle of the room with two chairs placed in an opposite manner near it. There were flower petals formed in a heart shape below the table and there were also many types of romantic paintings in the room.
Lith and Emilia both wondered what sort of place was this? But nevertheless, they didn’t dwell on it and went to take their seats. Parfait was more important and the ambiance didn’t matter much to the two.
There was a device present in the table to book things they wanted and it would directly teleport out of the teleportation circle present on their table. They were given good privacy.
Lith ordered food for the two first and they had dumplings, spring rolls, and pizza together. Now it was time for the main thing which they were here for. The parfait.
Lith looked at the menu and saw that the parfait available on discount was the chef’s special couple’s parfait. There was chocolate, vanilla, mango, blueberry, and strawberry flavour infused in that parfait and it was for two people.
Lith didn’t think much about it and ordered it. The two came here for this, he couldn’t just not order this now, can he?
A few minutes later, their parfait teleported out and was made available on their table.
There was a big glass jar containing parfait in front of the two and there were cherries, berries, and chocolate added onto it. But, there was problem…
There was only straw!
There was a big straw in the glass jar and it had two ends to it. But the problem was, these two ends were connected together with the main straw via a heart shape straw area.
Lith looked at Emilia after noticing how the parfait was and said with an awkward smile, ‘I am sorry, I didn’t know there would be only one straw present. I’ll order another one real quick.”
Emilia shook her head and said, “it’s fine. We came here for this so let’s not waste time and have it and leave.”
She bent forward and took a sip of the parfait after saying so.
“Mhm~” Emilia said as she felt the taste of the parfait. It was simply too amazing.
Lith, getting approval from Emilia already, didn’t shy away either and had the parfait. As he did so, the various different flavours present in it exploded in his mouth and gave him a nice experience and taste.
‘Very good parfait. If I want one next time, I’ll come here.’ He thought to himself.
The two finished it soon without any awkwardness and chatted while having it as well. The parfait was amazing, both felt it.
Just as they were done with it, they heard the device with which food could be ordered ring. A call was made to it. Lith picked up the phone and it was a maid asking if she could come in or not.
Lith asked Emilia if it was fine or not and she didn’t have much of an opinion on this and readily agreed.
A maid walked in and stopped just a few feet away from Lith and Emilia. She looked at them and said with a warm smile,
“Sir, madam, thank you for choosing our couple cafe. Before you leave, I’d like to let you know of our scheme. We give heavy discounts to couples here and there is one available today as well. If you allow us to put a picture of you two kissing, today’s meal will be free for you. Do you want this offer sir, madam?”
The two shook their heads. It was obvious as to why they did so.
The maid nodded and continued, “then there’s another one where all you have to do is kiss your partner and you get 20% off. Of course, if you aren’t comfortable with kissing on lips in public, you could just do a small kiss on the face instead. I’ll be the witness and you get 20% off.”
“No–”
“One second.”
Lith was about to deny it but was stopped by Emilia.
He looked at her with a questioning gaze and wondered why she interrupted him.
Emilia didn’t bother to answer him and simply bent forward and kissed his cheek. “Done.”
“What!?”
