Chapter 12: Celyne's Willpower



We’re now in an armament shop that looks pretty good. I checked the armor one by one here, but nothing caught my eye. This armor also looks quite big, not suitable for children.

“Son, are you looking for armor, I might be able to help,” A dwarf came towards me and Celyne, he looked like a short man but with strong muscles. His beard was long all the way to his feet.

“Uncle, are you the owner of this shop? I’m looking for armor I can use, is there any?” I asked the Dwarf.

“My name is Jagard, indeed I am the owner of this shop and for the armor you mean, I have it, here follow me,”

Celyne and I followed Jagard deeper into the shop and came to a room with various kinds of armor. Jagard took one of the armor there, which looked like light armor made of monster skin. The armor had a reddish-brown color.

“This is an armor that adapts to the body of the wearer, do you want to try it?” Said Jagard as he handed the armor to me.

Holding the armor in my hand is light and looks easy to use. I try to see the status of the armor.

[Red Bear Skin Armor (Rank E+)

This armor can adapt its shape to the user’s body. Even though it looks nothing special it can withstand magic attacks to a certain extent.]

I tried to put it on and the armor adjusted its shape to my body.

‘Looks like it’s fine,’

“Uncle, how much does this armor cost?”

“Two gold coins,” Jagard said.

“Wait, isn’t this too expensive?” I said disapprovingly.

“What do you mean expensive? This is the price, this armor is Rank E armor that is close to Rank D” Jagad said displeasedly.

“Alright, I’ll buy this armor,” I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Nice doing business with you,” Jagad smiled.

Gave the gold coins to Jagad. Celyne and I exited the shop and continued playing in the city.

“Celyne are you hungry?” I asked Celyne.

“Um, is Lute hungry too?”

“I’m hungry too, let’s find something to eat,” I pulled Celyne to look for, a restaurant.

“Okay,”

Finally, I found a restaurant that has a romantic atmosphere with outdoor tables. On the table, there is a vase and a flower.

“Let’s go to the restaurant over there,”

Pulling Celyne’s hand, I brought her to the table and we both sat facing each other. A waitress came towards us with a menu in her hand.

“Can I help you, sir, this is the menu in our restaurant,” the waiter handed me the menu list.

I saw this menu, my eyes immediately lit up. Here has a special menu for couples.

“We both order this couple’s special dish,” I told the waiter.

“Okay, please wait a minute,”

After a while, the waiter came with the food. On the table was a Couples Parfait with two spoons on it, and a heart-shaped cake with a beautiful decoration on it. I saw this smiled happily.

“Celyne I feed you, and you will feed me, how?” I smiled playfully.

Celyne heard had a blush on her face and just nodded.

“Then open your mouth, Aaaa…”

I brought the cake to her mouth. Celyne opened her mouth and ate it.

“How does it taste good?”

“Hm this is really good,” Celyne said happily.

[+500 Love Points]

“That’s good, now it’s my turn Aaaa…” I said and opened my mouth.

Celyne put the cake in my mouth, she looks happy.

“This is delicious, plus Celyne feeding me this is even better,” I said with a smile.

Celyne looked pleased with the blush on her face.

[+500 Love Points]

Celyne continued to eat, but after she put the cake in her mouth with the fork she used to feed me, her face turned as red as a tomato.

“What is it Celyne are you okay? Your face is very red.”

I spoke in a worried tone, to tease her. Using my hand, I touched her forehead to check her condition.

“You don’t look sick, are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine”

[+1,000 Love Points]

We kept eating, I always teased her which embarrassed her. I also got some Love Points from this.

Customers who had no partner around us gritted their teeth with envy. They felt so humiliated because they had no partner themselves, compared to the little kid in front of them who was always teasing each other.

Celyne and I finished eating, we continued walking around the city, until late afternoon.

Right now we are near the fountain in the center of the city, lots of children are playing here. Celyne and I sat on the bench near the fountain.

I saw a stall selling Crepes and wanted to buy it, I told Celyne to wait here for a while to buy Crepes. I had two Crepes in my hand which had Vanilla and Chocolate flavours.

“This is for you Celyne, take it,”I handed her the Crepes with Vanilla flavor.

“Thank you Lute” Celyne smiled.

We both sat and ate Crepes, watching the children play.

“Celyne, try eating my Crepes, this is delicious,” I offered my Crepes to Celyne.

Celyne saw me offer my Crepes, didn’t refuse, and ate it. The corners of her mouth rose as she ate my Crepes.

“How delicious isn’t it?”

“Um, this is delicious, Lute you should try mine too”

I eat the Crepes in her hand. It’s delicious with the Vanilla taste in my mouth.

We both chatted and laughed, before we knew it, the sky is getting dark. Celyne and I returned to the manor. When we arrived at the manor, Braine and Sina greeted us.

After dinner, I went back to my room and lay relaxed on the bed.

“The day after tomorrow I will return to the village with a group of troops and adventurers, I hope we still have time before something happens,”

A lot of things happened today, so it made me feel tired. I started to fall asleep on the bed.

–Pov Celyneโ€”

The morning after breakfast, I was in the manor, looking out the window. There I saw Lute practicing. This made me feel bad because I was just sitting around in the manor. Finally, I went to find my mother, to teach me magic.

“Mother, I want to learn magic,”

“Hmn… Do you want to learn magic? Why all of a sudden?” Mother asked me with a question mark on her face.

“Yesterday I saw Lute protecting me from bad people, and I couldn’t do anything, It’s frustrating that I can’t help him, I saw Lute training hard earlier too, I feel like I want to be strong from now on, if I become strong, I will be able to be with Lute,” Celyne said in frustration.

Sina saw her daughter frustrated, couldn’t help but smile and say.

“Okay, mother will teach you magic, but it’s going to be tough training since you’re still a kid, do you want to?” Mother asked me seriously.

“I want to do it, I don’t want Lute to leave me,” I said determinedly.

“Then let’s start the training, I also want to see the Innate Skill you just awakened.”

Saying that, mother took me into the practice room, which is usually used for magic training.

–Pov Lute–

The morning after breakfast, I started doing exercises in the garden. When I was in the village, I didn’t do any training, because I fought monsters every day. Now I feel uncomfortable not moving my body, so early in the morning I start training.

I’m currently running around the large manor garden. After circling the manor garden a few times, I take out a dagger from my inventory and move randomly. Sometimes jumping in the air, sometimes dodging practice and sometimes attacking practice. Doing this all makes me sweat.

Celyne came over to me with breakfast and drinks, after the sun was at its peak.

“Thank you Celyne, don’t you have anything to do today??”I asked Celyne curiously.

“I’m currently studying and practicing magic, I want to be strong, that way I can fight alongside Lute,” Celyne said with a smile.

“You don’t have to try too hard Celyne, I’m worried about you,” I said in a worried tone, holding Celyne’s shoulder.

“No Lute, I don’t want to be a useless person to you, I want to be strong,” Celyne said in a firm tone.

“Okay if that’s what you want,” I smiled seeing her who had made up her mind.

“Don’t worry Lute, because I now have an Innate Skill,” Celyne said confidently.

“As expected of Celyne you are indeed great,”

“Hehehe.. you’re embarrassing me,” Celyne said with a flushed face.

[+2,000 Love Points]

I continued to eat my breakfast, after that practice again. Celyne also returned to the manor to study.
