Hi, I'm Fee.

　It's now lunchtime and we've come to a trendy restaurant for the two of us. This place is one of the most popular restaurants in the kingdom and it's hard to get a reservation.

''I have a reservation, Elweed Willis.
You must be Mr. Willis. Come this way.

　Hmm?

　Is this the Elweed Willis you booked?

　That's ridiculous. Elle had reservations?

　What? No way. There is no way this man could do that. But the reality is that we came to the restaurant...and were shown to the best seat, which is said to have the best view. From here we can see the clean, clear waters and the ships that come and go for trade. The Kingdom of Falberica is a thriving port city, so the seats here are truly precious.

　It must be absolutely something that Elle is holding back.

　I was more skeptical than genuinely happy. And, but........it's not that I'm not happy, you know!

　Yeah, I've done the tsundere again....

　Ughhhh. I'm just going crazy...........


"It's an appetizer.

　Then the waiter brings us an appetizer. I'm pouting when I see it, and Elle casually explains to me.

'I ordered a seafood course, but you liked the fee, didn't you?'
"Uh-huh. I love you, but...

　The carpaccio came. Shredded sashimi and veggies, with a sauce of olive oil and vinegar. Honestly, it looks so delicious.

　I took a bite. Then the sweetness of the olive oil and the acidity of the vinegar combined with the flavor of the vegetables and sashimi.

　Ugh, yum!

　As expected of a restaurant that can't be booked in, it's not very pretentious....

　Next up was the fish cooked in poirette. Grilling the fish in poirette gives it a crispy texture. I politely, but somewhat amused, enjoyed my meal while talking to Elle.

　Finally, the parfait came for dessert. Sure, I like parfait, but only at the end did something strangely mundane come along, as Elle explains again.

'Fee liked the parfait, didn't he?　I was forced to make it. By the way, I had it made into a banana flavored ice cream.
Well thank you for that. Thank you for doing this to me...
'Fee's been a big help to me all these years, you know. It's only right that I give him a good workout like this once in a while.

　Of course ... of course ... of course ... of course ...?

　

'Glad ... thank you, Elle.
You're welcome, Fee.

　I use a long, thin spoon and go for the puffa. Ice cream with chocolate sauce and strawberry sauce on top of the ice cream. And crunchy cereal underneath.

　So sweet and delicious!　

　I'm crunching away at it, and before I know it, I only have a little more left.

　Ahhhh. I wanted to eat more........

　Then, seeing me like that, Elle sticks her spoon out to me.

''Fee, ahhh.''
What?
Come on, open your mouth.
Uh-oh.

　Crunch. I got the banana flavored ice cream that Elle had been eating.

　It's delicious but.................it doesn't taste good. Because this is a........indirect kiss. But I've had a few indirect kisses before. Because he's often taken my drink away from me, saying things like, "Fee, I'll take this. But now the situation is different from that.

　It's the legendary 'ahhh'.

　Aang" is the third on the list of people I would like to have as a lover.

　I never thought it would happen here...am I dreaming?　Hey ... is this a dream?　If it's a dream, I don't want you to wake up.

'?　What's up, Fee. Pinch your cheeks.
And I'm biting the dust...
"?　That would be nice, though, wouldn't it?

　I pinched my cheeks and reaffirmed my happiness.

　It was a dream, but it wasn't a dream!

　No, which one. Yeah. I can't tell you how many times I have to keep reminding you that this isn't a dream. This is real!

Well, now that you've eaten, let's go see a movie.
Yeah. Thank you, Elle.

　I look at her with a smirk and Elle smiles back, smiling even more than I do.

'Fee. Thank you, on my part.

　That smile knocked me down in my brain.


　◇


　The movie theater is located across the street from the restaurant, down the main street. But there seems to be a lot of people here today, so it's hard to get going.

　Ughhhhh........there are so many people........

'Fee, this way.
What?

　Then Elle grabs my hand forcefully with a gui and escorts me away. And just like that, we walk together, hand in hand....walking...?

　My left hand........my hand might be sweating badly.......

　With that in mind, Elle took us by the hand and we arrived at the movie theater. When we went to the counter to buy a ticket, Elle said something even more outrageous.

'A couple's discount, please.'
Yes. Yes, sir.

　The lady at the counter gave me a discount without checking anything in particular. Moreover, Elle will pay for it again this time. Or rather, I'm not paying today..........

''Yes, the ticket. Don't lose it, okay?　Do you want popcorn or something to drink?
'Well I don't need it. I just ate.
Okay. Well, let's go.
Yes.

　I follow Elle without question.

　By the way, the title of the movie I'm watching today is "Sin and Love".

　It's a love/hate movie that's been all the rage in the kingdom lately. I prefer a slightly heavier story to a lighter one, so I was planning to come see it one day. Alone......

　But, to my surprise, Elle and I came to see it as a couple. We became a couple.

　And the screening started.

''.........''
....

　Of course, I'll shut up and watch it.

　It's light in the beginning, but the story gets heavier in the middle.

'I'm not important to you!
No, I love you.
Then show me the proof!

　And after such an exchange.....................the bed scene.

　Huh!　That's pretty neat!　I'm seeing deep kisses and all sorts of things!　I glanced at Elle and she was seriously staring........at the screen.

　I'm kind of embarrassed that I'm an adult and I can't afford it....................embarrassed.

　Even though I thought that, I was embarrassed by what I was embarrassed by, so I watched the movie to the end with my face red.

'Oh no, that was good. I rarely watch movies, but that was fun.
Yeah, right. I thought it was funny, too.

　We talked and talked about our impressions and went outside, and it was already dusk.

　Aaaaah. It's the end of time. Anyway, we'll have a romantic dinner at a hotel, and then........stay in the same room.......and then.....

　Well, there's no way that's going to happen. I guess we'll just break up.


'Fee, what are your plans for tomorrow?'
Well I'm not really sure.
Then why don't we go to a hotel for dinner?
Okay, but won't it slow you down?
I've saved you a hotel room. You don't mind if we spend the night out?
Yeah, fine. You held back two rooms?　Is the money okay?
No, it's just one room.
What?
You don't like being in the same room with me?
'No I'm totally fine, but...'

　I don't understand. Am I hallucinating?

　A hotel?　And sleeping in the same room.

　That's......................a long shot invitation!　

　That's right!

　It's not that I'm not a woman, but even women have a s*xual appetite and can have it. So it's okay to expect it, right?　Adult stairs, you can climb them, right?　I'm an adult now, but....

Let's go then.
'Yeah...'

　And so we headed to the hotel.

　What's going to happen to me now!
