I went back to the mansion to change and traveled to the fountain plaza on Central Street to sit on a bench there, and in about ten minutes, Hermia and Seira arrived.

　About twenty minutes earlier than the appointed time.

'Halt, have I kept you waiting?'
Here you go!

No, it's okay. They came a little early because I was looking forward to our date. You guys look so cute in your street clothes.

　Their expressions brightened.

　Seira's personal clothes are a white dress.
　The jacket she's wearing is the one I gave her for her birthday, I think.

　Elmia's clothes are less revealing than the armor she usually wears, but underneath she's wearing black shorts that make her beautiful legs stand out more than usual.

　Maybe it's because her breasts are less exposed and her gaze is more focused on her raw legs?

　They were both cute.
　Also, Elmia was erotic.


　By the way, when I'm meeting up with a family member for a date, I try to get there much earlier than the appointed time.

　It's because if I'm at the rendezvous point first, there's less chance of a family member getting into trouble.

　The Elnor family has some of the best beauties and beautiful girls in this school.

　Whenever they are dressed in fashionable civilian clothes for a date and sit around there to meet up, they are always approached.

　In other words, I try to move earlier than the rendezvous time to prevent my wife from getting picked up.

　Of course, it's true that I'm looking forward to the date.


Let's get going then.

Yes!

　Saying that, I held out my hand, and Seira took it without hesitation.

　As it is, she comes to my right side and puts her arms around me.

'See, Hermia too.'

　Even though I urged her to do so, Elmia didn't try to take my hand away.

I'm not going to be able to do that in such a public place.......................

　In a muffled voice, Hermia complained.

　The fountain plaza in Central Street is a popular place for couples, so there are many male and female pairs around us.

　However, both Elmia and Seira are beautiful, so they are rather attention-grabbing.

　They seem to be embarrassed to cross their arms.

''Besides, I'm tall and........''

　Elmia is taller than me.
　When she tries to put her hand around my arm, she gets into a weird position.

　That's the only thing that makes me feel bad for being so short.

　Out of all the boys in my class, I'm the shortest.

　Luke is a tall, handsome guy, and Ryushin is one of the best-looking guys in the entire school.

　In case you're wondering, I'm also one of the tallest guys my age.......

　Elmia's style is too good.

"Halt-sama, Elmia is a........
'Eh ... yeah, yeah. Okay.

　Ceira instructed me in a whisper, so I decided to follow it.

'Let's go, Elmire!'
I...

　I take Elmia's hand a little too forcefully and start walking.

　Elmia looks down shyly, but she doesn't complain and follows me.

　After all, Seira knows best how to treat Elmia.


　─ ─ ─ ──***──.

　We walked a bit and came to the cake shop we wanted to visit.

　There was no line around the shop to take out or eat, as it was completely reserved.

''Halt, I came here without a reservation... are you sure you're okay?''

　Looking at the very trendy store, Elmire looked anxious.

'Yeah. It'll take a little while for the cake to come out, but the seats are fine.'

　Saying that, he took Seira and Elmia's hands and went inside the shop.

''Welcome. I am very sorry. Today, we're sold out of everything to take out or eat in the restaurant.
'Oh, they're fine. I'll handle it.

　A woman dressed like a pastry chef came out from the back of the store as if to interrupt the young woman's words.

''Mr. Hurt-sama, you are welcome.

　She's the manager.

"Hey manager, long time no see. I know I didn't call you, but can you make another cake for me today?

'Of course. As always, we'll need a few minutes of your time, if that's okay with you?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Yes, sir. Now, come with me.

　The manager led us upstairs to the cafe.

　There were about ten seats upstairs, most of which were occupied.

　There was one empty seat a little ways away from the cafe counter. Unlike the other seats around it, it was surrounded on three sides by a chest-high partition that was no higher than my standing height.

　We were ushered into that seat.
　It was designed to seat up to four people.

　This seat is always empty for me.

　When I come in, or the person I gave the preferential ticket to comes in, we can eat without a reservation.

　This place is famous for its cakes, but you can also order a light meal. It is said that many people go for the cake after having a light meal.


'So, please wait a moment,'

　The manager bowed and went downstairs.

'Ho, I'm really here.
You can eat the cakes here without a reservation, can't you? But....as you'd expect it to take a while, right?

No, they always come out in about twenty minutes.

　The manager wanted us to wait a bit, but in terms of time, the cake would be out in about that amount of time.

　When I told Seira and Elmia about this, they were both surprised.

　Apparently baking a cake usually takes a lot of time.

　I've never made a cake before, so I don't know what I'm talking about...

　The fluffy chiffon cake that is the specialty of this shop is said to be particularly difficult to make.

　By using magic, the manager is able to shorten that time-consuming and difficult cake making process. Of course, even with magic, the taste remains the same.

　However, baking a cake with magic requires a lot of concentration, so he only does it when I come to the store and order a cake.


　It was Tina who developed the technique of using magic to make a cake in a very short period of time.

　The manager of this shop was an apprentice of Tina's.

　And Tina was also the head of the H&T Chamber of Commerce that allowed this shop to open.

　The reason why I was given such privileges was all because of Tina.


　Incidentally, Tina and I have been to this restaurant many times.

　There were times in the middle of a meal when Tina would start giving the waitress some customer service advice, and it got out of hand, but....

　Thanks to Tina's guidance, this place has become one of the highest quality restaurants in the central district, both in terms of food and customer service.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

　After about twenty minutes, the manager brought us the cake.

"Thank you for waiting. It's our specialty, the chiffon cake.

Oh, oh!
Sounds good.
Thanks, manager.

Okay. Now, enjoy the rest of the day.


So....
""Let's have it!"

　I put my hand on the chiffon cake.

　It was fluffy.
　The fruit on the cake was also very tasty.

　Best of all, the whipped cream around the chiffon cake is the best.

　It's a perfect replica of something I loved in the world I was from. It melts in my mouth wonderfully.


　Seyla and Elmia are devouring the cake like crazy.

　When faced with something really good, people become silent.

　I've had it a few times, so I've gotten a little used to it, but the first time I came here, I didn't think about any of the afterthoughts, and I just kept mindlessly bringing the cake to my mouth.

　That's exactly what Seira and her friends were doing now.

　Seira usually ate slowly, but today her mouth was moving much faster. Elmia's bite was quite large.

　If you eat so quickly, you'll feel a great sense of loss later, right?

　I've been there.
　So take your time, taste and eat.


　And then, sure enough, they both finished their cake shortly afterwards.

"Look, Seira. Aah.
Are you sure?　Uh-oh.

　I share some of mine with a dazed Seira.

　Seira gave me a very nice smile.

　Hermia was staring at her.

'Is Elmire there too?'
You know, I'm not a...

Yes, uh-huh.
Uh-oh.

　Elmia, who never does 'ahh' or anything like that in public, jumped at the fork with the cake I offered her today.

　Her face was bright red, but her cheeks were loose.

　It's what's so cute about this guy.


　I'm really glad I was able to bring you both here today. Both of them looked cute in their personal clothes, and I got to see a slightly delirious Elmia.

　Who shall we bring next?
