Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"Here you go."

Handing over the new ID to the cheerful girl who was still not done with choosing the small chocolates, I grabbed her free hand.

She was started, but she continued looking over the many different varieties of chocolates on the front shelf after storing the ID in her storage ring.

Sir Lucious had just passed us, leaving us alone in this place and going back to pick up the chocolates I asked for.

I knew he won't actually need much time so, I had a while to chat with my dear 'friend'.

Rein liked chocolate, just like me and Anna. And she liked the chocolate with almonds or roasted almonds more than anything.

But there weren't many of them in the small size available.

She had taken all of her favorite ones she can but she couldn't actually choose the other ones.

Of the sixty she was supposed to take, she had hardly chosen forty of the chocolates.

Well, she was Rein after all.

I could have left her choosing like that and she would just take her sweet hours to finish this thing.

Sadly, we had no time for that today.

"Rein. Just so you know, I bought a big one for every variety here. And a few big ones for chocolate almonds.

He also makes salted roasted almonds and premium dark chocolate that is only available in the big versions.

You can just take what you feel like for now because we will have what you need on me anytime.

We have to go, right? Do all the things you planned for today.

So, if you can, please finish this quickly. Please?"

I had a genuine expression on my face and as soon as she heard me, her eyes widened in shock for a moment but, went back to normal and she smiled helplessly while looking at me.

Her black eyes at the moment... in my eyes, they were her original pink ones.

Her gorgeous eyes, that sweet smile, those rosy lips, her pretty face...

"Eon... oh Eon. You are amazing~. And that look in your eyes..."

"You are gorgeous, Rein."

"That I definitely am. But not as much as you, little one. Hehe."

"Nah... you are just amazing, young girl~."

"Young girl you say... Wanna-"

"Ahem. I don't actually want to interrupt your sweet talk, young ones. But, I think you should hurry up and finish this first. Didn't you say you have somewhere to go?"

And with his voice, the two of us who had unknowingly gotten a bit too close took a step back.

His voice was sudden, and we didn't sense him at all.

Rein was also suddenly getting bold so, this was actually good but...

'Damn, I wanted to hear what she had to say on that last one!'

She sometimes says some really funny things but now, the mood was ruined.

Not that it was his fault or anything. The situation was just like that.

We were in this sacred place where he devotes himself to the production of these divine delicacies the world likes.

And as he said, we had somewhere to go.

I knew he would finish things pretty quickly but, this was even more quickly than I anticipated.

He was looking at us with a calm smile as she just stood and turned around with a definitely blushing face.

Well, yes. We had to go, and there were many things for this evening for us.

First, some shopping with her, eating at a famous place and many stalls, and going around the capital's garden, which was second only to the one in the free city in Rein's territory.

Chatting, walking, some flaying maybe, and just some sightseeing. That was the plan for now.

We had to get back home by dinner time and we only had so much time to do all the things today.

I was planning to explore and set up my room tomorrow with her maybe, so we might not actually have a lot of time to go on another date like this.

I had many things to talk about with everyone and mom especially.

But that was just some business talk, and I still had to explore the underground area of my own house as well as Alf's entire house.

She will also have things to do here, in my house, with me, and on her own.

As well as in the capital.

She had some work of her own and there was also studying my diary.

We had today, and after that, we will have to wait for next week to have more free time to go out like this.

Well, we would be free after this week so we can play around however we wanted next week.

Maybe we can go have some fun with my dear siblings and I can even help three of them in their training or magic.

Not Anna, though. I meant Rein, Alf, and Carla. The three of them.

Anna was the dear, adorable sister whom I wanted to play with as much as can.

Well... for now, we had to go out of this place first.

The room we were standing in right now was filled with different kinds of chocolates and I can tell from my excellent senses that all these chocolates were top-tier.

Any normal person would just start drooling from this amazing scent but, we were alright.

And after a while of his sudden appearance and gathering all her thoughts and calming down this sudden blush on her face, she just picked random chocolates from the counter and finished her count of sixty.

That was somewhat funny, actually, and after that, she just finished the packing masterfully.

It surprised both of us just how well she did that and after finishing the packing in mere seconds; she stored the chocolates in her rind and just walked out of the room and stood by the door with her head on the door.

She did all this so quickly that I couldn't help but think of her as a cute squirrel trying to gather and hide her food.

'Cute...'

Smiling warmly at that foolish friend of mine, I looked at him.

He had the same smile on his face as me, and he just shook his head helplessly at this young girl's behavior.

"Those three so-called prodigies, that boy, and then you two...

This really seems like the era golden of geniuses.

Hohoho~!

Lucifer... here. Hope we can have another wonderful talk, better than this one if fate allows it."

Handing me the square storage device, he extended his hand.

Accepting the box and storing it in my white crack with a radiant smile, I humbly accepted this handshake.

"I hope so too, sir Lucius. It was a good talk and I, too, hope we can have a long, normal chat if fate allows it."

I was smiling radiantly at him, but there was definitely something on my mind after hearing what he had just said.

I could guess which three prodigies he was talking about, but... he also said something about 'that boy.

So, there was someone who was on par with them that he didn't know about.

This was something interesting... not that he would tell me what he was talking about if I asked myself.

If he meant what he said, then I knew we would meet sooner or later.

I will know about him someday for sure so, for now, there was an adorable lady waiting for me with her face on the door.

'Let's see how this first date of mine in this world goes... I know it will be far different from 'those things', at the very least.'
