Chapter 36 – Date With Lena (2)
Suddenly Lena stuttered as her face turned red.
“What, what, what, what!!! “You, you, you, what did you eat wrong?!!!”
“Did I eat well? I’m serious. I hope to have a harmonious and happy family in the future. “How is Lena?”
“Well, that is…”
Lena lowered her red face and spoke in a hushed voice. As expected, when I approach Lena seriously, she becomes difficult and weak.
“Sister Lena. Imagine. In the future, Lena and I will sit around her table on a clear day and have a meal in a harmonious and bright atmosphere. Maybe she has a cute and lively child. “If that day comes, I will be so happy and joyful.”
“Ugh… Hehe.”
As Lena remembered what I was saying, she smiled comfortably, as if it made her feel better. What I do is the ‘imagining future happiness’ technique used in neuro-linguistic programming. It is an advanced technique that implicitly says that you will be happy if you are with me in the future and then transfers that feeling to your present self. The most important thing is to speak in a way that the other person can imagine.
I said, squeezing Lena’s hand.
“Sister Lena. Someday, that work may become my sister and my future. Now shall we go see another work?”
“Yes!”
Lena holds my hand and answers vigorously.
I watched more of the special doll exhibition with Lena and went out at lunchtime.
“Sister Lena. “Do you want anything for lunch?”
“Hmm… I’d like to eat Tiger Omurice, the specialty of Briesen Zoo.”
“Let’s go~”
I went with Lena to an omurice restaurant in the restaurant district. Tiger omelet rice is an omurice with a cute tiger face made with ketchup, seaweed, sausage, etc., And is very popular with children.
I sat down and ordered two tiger omelet rice. Then Lena becomes puzzled.
“Why do you order tiger omelet rice?”
“Because I want to eat too.”
“Ah. Okay? That’s good. Hehe.”
Lena is happy when I order the same food. Lena, implicitly, cares that her tastes are childlike, so she already knows that if I order the same food, she will feel the same and as it.
Soon, two pieces of tiger omelet rice appeared.
“Wow! Cute!”
“I see! I think Teddy likes it too!”
“Huh! “It’s such a waste that I don’t want to eat it!”
“Tiger wants to eat it?”
“No~~”
“Tiger please eat it.”
“Aaaaah~~ That’s it~~~”
Lena apologizes that she doesn’t want to ruin Tiger Omurice.
I lifted my spoon, dug into my omurice, and ate a spoonful.
Muttering.
“It’s really delicious.”
“No~ Zeon’s Tiger is dead…”
Lena looked really disappointed.
Grumble, growl
An alarm clock sounded from Lena’s stomach.
“Ahahaha. I can’t help it. It’s a tiger. “I’ll eat well.”
Lena must have been so hungry that she finally lifted her spoon and ate the omelet rice.
Filth
Hehe. It’s delicious~!”
Lena took a bite and ate it, not caring that Tiger’s face was destroyed. This kind of innocence seems to be Lena’s charm.
We finished lunch and went out.
“I’m sleepy~”
Lena blinks her eyes as if she is feeling tired.
I took Lena to a bench where the trees shaded us from the sun. It was a pleasant day with a wind blowing that made me feel cool yet warm.
I dragged Lena down to her bench and sat down next to her.
“Sister. “I’ll wake you up later, so sleep for a moment.”
“Ugh…”
Lena said that and slid towards me. I calmly took Lena’s head and laid her down on my thighs, took off her jacket and covered her. Lena soon fell into a restful and deep sleep. I gently stroked Lena’s head or her shoulders while she slept. Lena’s face looked really happy.
Lena woke up after sleeping for an hour.
“Ugh… Zeon. How long did I sleep?”
“One hour.”
“What?! Why didn’t you wake me up!”
“My sister was sleeping so happily that I had to wake her up.”
“Ugh..? I’ll wake you up though. “I want to go to an amusement park.”
“Let’s go now. There’s still time left.”
“Then let’s go quickly!”
Lena holds my hand and runs to the amusement park. Now Lena seems to take it for granted that I can hold her hand. My heart feels proud.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the amusement park with Lena.
Lena looks at the various rides and marvels at how her heart beats.
“Wow! I want to ride it quickly!”
“What should I ride?”
“Ride the duck rail bike!”
A duck rail bicycle is a device that allows two people to ride a model duck and follow the rails by pedaling under their feet like a bicycle. There is a rail at the height of the two-story building, and the rail passes over some of the zoo cages, providing a good view.
I rode the duck rail bike with Lena.
“Duck! Let’s go!”
I stepped on the pedal at the same time Lena shouted.
“Wow! We are moving forward!”
“Ugh! Wow! “You pedal too!”
“I’m trying too, but it’s so hard!”
“Off!”
I became Lena’s exclusive driver and worked hard to move the duck bike. Lena was excited the whole time looking at the surrounding scenery.
“Look over there! There are cute deer below! Oh! “There are monkeys!”
“Off! Sister! “My legs hurt!”
“Cheer up Zeon! “You can do it!”
“Huh!”
“Go for it! Wow! “It’s a fluffy sheep!”
Before I knew it, I had turned around and returned to the original point.
Hehe. It was a fun time.”
Lena lowered the duck bike with a smile, but my legs were shaking.
“Sister… My thighs hurt so much.”
“Be strong for me.”
“It really hurts…”
“Then shall we rest for a moment?”
When I was having a really hard time, Lena asked me with concern. To calm Lena down, I bought her two ice creams and sat down on the bench. I was able to massage my thighs while Lena licked her ice cream.
Afterward, I had a great time riding a viking and a chugging little train with Lena. It’s already getting closer to 6 o’clock.
“Sister. “Let’s go have dinner now.”
“I don’t want to go out.”
“I played too much today. “Now I have to eat too.”
“Ugh… I want to play a little more…”
“Come again next time.”
“Really?”
“Yes. “I must come.”
“Okay. Let’s call it a day.”
I persuaded Lena and left her zoo. I’m worried about where to eat. Can’t I sleep overnight at an inn with Lena? I decided to give it a try.
“Sister. Would you like to go to the inn you see over there?”
“What?!”
Lena makes her astonished face. It’s still too early for Lena to open a men’s and women’s inn. I explained it casually.
“This is a high-end inn, and the buffet on the first floor is really delicious. “They say the chicken and French fries are excellent?”
“Okay? Shall we give it a go?”
Lena agrees with what I said, her ears perking up.
I ate the inn buffet with Lena. As expected, Lena wandered around and ate delicious chicken, French fries, and cake. I agonized over the opportunity to stay with Lena in her room. Things like silver badge training in the evening have long since disappeared from my mind.
After finishing the buffet, Lena pats her stomach.
“Haaaaa. It’s good. I’m full~”
“Me too. Shall we go now?”
“Yes!”
Lena takes it for granted that she will return to the academy. She said that if she were to be locked in a room together, she would get slapped and the mood would get worse. I went to the front door with Lena, hiding my bitterness inside.
‘Should I be satisfied that the distance with Lena has narrowed today?’
It was then.
Shoot aaaaa
I could hear the sound of pouring rain outside. People are running around and entering the building. If you move the horses on a rainy day like this, they will catch a cold, so all the carriages have to return to the stables. If I pay a lot of money, I can take a carriage ride on a rainy day, but I have no intention of doing that.
After waiting a few minutes, there was a rumble, lightning flashed, and a wind so strong that the umbrella flew away. People on the streets struggle to hold on to umbrellas to prevent them from tipping over or flying away.
‘This is an opportunity! An opportunity given to me by heaven!’
Lena muttered with a worried look on her face.
“This. The rain is getting stronger. What should I do?”
“Sister. “I will ask you how long it will rain.”
“Yes.”
I approached the counter staff and asked a question.
“How long will it rain?”
“According to the weather forecast, it is said that typhoon-level rain will fall until dawn tomorrow.”
“I see.”
I never thought that not looking at the weather forecast after leaving the academy would be so helpful.
I approached Lena and told her.
“Sister. They say it’s going to rain like a typhoon until dawn tomorrow.”
“Ugh. What should I do?”
“Iknow, right. “I can’t stay up here all night until dawn.”
Lena looks outside and continues to worry. I took a moment to decide the timing and asked a question with a calm expression.
“Sister. “Then, do you want to sleep here?”
“Huh? At an inn?”
“Is this your first time sleeping at an inn?”
“Yeah… It’s kind of awkward…”
“But we can’t just sit here. “I will pay all the lodging expenses.”
“Okay. “Ask if there are two rooms.”
“Yes.”
If you ask to share a room here, you’ll get a kick out of it.
I approached the counter and asked the employee a question.
“I need a place to sleep. Are there two single rooms?”
The employee looked through the list and shook his head.
“The only room left is the most expensive, high-end suite. All other rooms are full. “
I kept a calm expression even though I was internally happy. I held back the corners of my mouth from twitching as best as I could.
“What should I do… Ugh. What should I do…”
Lena keeps muttering as if she’s worried. I said with as sad and apologetic an expression as possible.
“Sister. There’s nothing we can do. Then sleep in the suite.”
“Can’t we go to another inn?”
At that time, the counter employee answered.
“The person who just came said that all the other places were full.”
‘And. This helps me out in the world! Puhehehe!’
I suppressed my laughter and spoke to Lena.
“Sister. I think it’s the only one here. I will protect my sister. So, let’s use it together.”
“What. “Are you thinking dark thoughts right now?”
At that moment, Lena hit her head and her conscience tingled.
“No. Honestly, I like Lena. But I want to cherish her as much as she is good. So don’t worry.”
“Ugh… I see… Then I understand.”
Since I went out seriously, Lena reluctantly agreed.
