Chapter 38: The Girls at the Roast Duck Restaurant
Actually, Elus and Lonis’s mission was to scout out restaurants in Nile Port in advance and find good places to eat for everyone.
Although they had plenty of time and could have done some strange and weird things (like flirting), they still had to gather with their companions in the end.
…
“Wow, are we eating dinner at a roast monkey restaurant today? That’s great!!”
“Su Ling, it’s a roast duck restaurant…”
“Oh… it feels about the same~ Roast duck, roast duck, delicious roasted goose~~”
And so, Su Ling held her sister’s hand and met up with their companions at the roast duck restaurant.
Except for Senior Zhisheng Luo, who had personal matters to attend to, everyone would be attending tonight’s dinner… Since the girls had never eaten authentic roast duck before, they were all very much looking forward to it.
However…
Lonis’s expression was a little strange.
“L-Loni! What’s wrong?”
“Ah, ah! I’m fine… I’m really fine!”
It was only when Su Ling reminded her that Lonis snapped back from her flustered state.
And the reason she was so flustered was not for any other reason, but because…
She and Elus had become lovers!
Although Elus said she was an apprentice lover, an apprentice lover was still a lover!
And to become a lover with Elus, that black-hearted girl…
(Ugh…)
The thought of this becoming reality made Lonis’s heart pound uncontrollably, and she had no idea what to do.
Although in the past, she often called Elus “wife” and even did “sexy” things with Elus.
However, that was still a bit of a silly prank.
But just now, while they were sitting together on a long bench, Lonis knew that Elus had officially acknowledged her and considered her her lover.
This meant that,
From now on, she could do things with Elus that only lovers would do.
For example, go on dates together.
For example, hold hands with each other.
For example, write love letters to each other.
For example…
…
When it came to love, Lonis’s imagination was barren, as she had never been in love with a girl before.
But even the small things she could see were enough to cause the girl to be in a state of happy distress, even unable to extricate herself from her joy.
“L-Lonis?”
Su Ling blinked. Today’s Lonis seemed extremely strange.
She had been in a dazed, silly expression just now, and now she was starting to giggle, even drooling from the corner of her mouth.
Was she sick?
Just as Su Ling thought this, Elus sighed and whispered, “Su Ling, don’t mind this little idiot fox.”
“Ah…?”
“This one, although usually silly, becomes even sillier one day every month.”
“Is it that day? I understand!”
And so, the girls sat together at the roast duck restaurant, waiting for their food.
And if even Su Ling had noticed Lonis’s abnormality, how could the other companions not have noticed?
It’s just that everyone didn’t say much and just watched quietly.
This silver-haired little fox sat blissfully beside Elus… Although her hands seemed afraid to touch the black-haired girl, her large tail was pressed against Elus’s side, and her large ears were perkily raised.
And Elus?
Although she pretended to be indifferent and was just ordering for everyone, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her peripheral vision was secretly glancing at Lonis.
“Um… besides roast duck, what else would everyone like to drink?”
“Ah, anything is fine for me, because I’ve heard that Oriental cuisine is delicious.”
Cécile blinked and picked up the chopsticks placed on the table.
For this princess, it was the first time she had used tableware like chopsticks, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.
However, Candelle was much more lively. She jumped up directly and said excitedly, “Are there any roast foxes? I want to eat roast fox~”
“How could there be!”
“Eeeh~~ But, it’s such a celebratory occasion, it would be a shame not to eat roast fox, right?”
“Celebratory…?”
“Because Lonis, after chasing for so long, finally caught up with Master Elus~~ Congratulations, congratulations.”
“Wow, Candelle… H-how did you know!”
…
With her companions saying that, Lonis’s cheeks turned even redder.
She had wanted to keep this a secret for now, and only reveal it to everyone after her relationship with Elus had progressed further.
But she didn’t expect…
Everyone seemed to have already noticed.
“Hmph, of course, it’s because Lonis’s drool is about to drip out.”
“Ah?!”
“Everyone is looking forward to the roast duck, but only Lonis is staring at Master Elus, as if she doesn’t care about the roast duck at all and just wants to eat the black-haired girl.”
“!!!”
“This is so interesting, the little fox actually turned the tables and caught her wife!”
Because these past few days, Elus had been a soft girl, never bullying anyone. So Candelle got a bit carried away.
And so, it led to…
“Waaaahh, I can’t see clearly!! My fingers are so hot, who, who splashed hot water on me.”
“Hmph!!”
“Help me, sister, help me, woo woo woo, woo woo woo…”
Soon, Candelle’s head was covered by a thick, lacquer-black mist. No matter how the pitiful little red-haired loli struggled, she couldn’t escape the black mist.
And Elus?
She crossed her arms and said arrogantly, “Hmph, don’t misunderstand, everyone. Although I acknowledge this idiot fox maid, it doesn’t mean I’m her little wife… In fact, this young lady is the top, and the little idiot is my little pillow.”
“Eh?!”
“Moreover, my master-servant relationship with the soft girl Lonis is not over yet. So everything is actually the same as before… Little fox, wag your tail for me!”
“Wag your tail…”
“Little fox, wiggle your ears for me!”
“Wiggle ears…”
“Little fox, act cute and clingy!”
“Act cute and clingy…”
“See? That’s how it is. So everyone shouldn’t be surprised by my relationship with Lonis. Just treat us as you always have.”
As she spoke, Elus gently petted Lonis’s little head, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being in control.
However…
Su Ling curiously poked her head out, looking even more excited: “Eh? The same as before, does this mean… Classmate Elus and Loni have been a couple for a long time?”
“???”
“When did it start? Can you tell Su Ling!! Was it when you enrolled, or…”
“…”
Facing everyone’s curious gazes, Elus frustratingly realized.
Because she was going to date Lonis, it seemed difficult for her to maintain her black-hearted girl persona.
