After we entered the cafe, we looked for a table to sit on. The cafe was pretty full so we sat at a table at the back. After we sat down, we waited for the waitress to come to place our order."You can order anything you want." (Endl)
She could order whatever she wanted of course, since I had enough money for that, I didn"t care much. Mary started to look at the menu, well had many options.
After a while, Mary apparently chose what she wanted, well I wanted to order something too. As soon as I got the menu, Mary stopped me and started talking to me about a cake for couples.
"I already ordered the cake for couples, so you don"t have to order anything." (Mary)
Mary said that with a huge smile on her face.
Apparently this cake for couples, as the name says, is a cake for couples. It was apparently a heart-shaped strawberry cake, and the couples ate it together.
After that we started talking a little about the date. I was wondering what Mary would like to buy after we left the cafe.
"Well, I don"t really know." (Mary)
Mary doesn"t seem to know what she wants, so I think I"ll choose. I want to choose a beautiful gift for her, because I want her to have a reminder of me all the time with her.
"So leave it to me, I"ll buy you a gift." (Endl)
I said confidently, Mary accepted my proposal.
After a while our cake arrived. It was a beautiful heart-shaped cake, and it also had strawberries on top of the cake.
The waitress also brought us drinks, of course.
"It"s beautiful." (Mary)
Mary was quite impressed with the beauty of the cake.
After that we started to eat. This cake didn"t have to be put on the plate, we would eat together on the plate that it came with.
The cake was delicious, Mary made a face of pleasure whenever she put the cake in her mouth.
We continued eating and talking for a while. We talked about the school, the fight with the demons, and also about Mary"s family.
She didn"t want to talk much about it, so she said few things.
Apparently she hasn"t known her father since she was born, and her mother disappeared some time ago, so she basically doesn"t have a family anymore.
But Mary didn"t look sad, she was happy all the time, did not losing her family affect her?
Well I can"t say that"s exactly it, but I"m glad to see her happy.
After we finished eating, I paid for the cake and left the cafe. I wanted to walk down Main Street, where there are lots of stores and lots of merchants selling things in street stalls.
"Let"s go this way." (Endl)
I was holding Mary"s hand as I guided her. I knew the stores a lot here, since sometimes I walked around the city just to observe everything.
Pa.s.sing in front of a store, I saw a necklace. It was an extremely beautiful necklace. It had a thin silver chain and had a green stone at its end.
"Is that emerald?"
No, it wasn"t, the price is too low to be a true emerald, but it is extremely beautiful.
I looked between Mary and the necklace. Mary was a little confused by my reaction.
"It will be that."
I saw that the necklace matched Mary a lot, so I decided to buy it since the price wasn"t so high.
"Excuse." (Endl)
I called the woman who ran the store.
She was a beautiful woman, about 30 years old.
"Can I help you?" (Saleswoman)
"I wanted this necklace, please." (Endl)
"Good choice boy, is he for your girlfriend?" (Saleswoman)
"Well, actually she"s not my girlfriend yet." (Endl)
"Still." (Mary)
I heard Mary say something from behind, when I looked she, was so red it looked like it was going to explode.
When the saleswoman saw this, she started to laugh. I stood there with a confused face, because I had not heard very well what Mary had said and could not understand the situation well.
"Well, the price is 1 silver coin." (Saleswoman)
Well the price is low, in this world 10 copper coins form 1 coin and silver, and 10 silver coins form one gold.
I had a few silver coins in my pocket, so I paid the saleswoman and took the necklace.
"Thanks for the purchase, and good luck to the couple." (Saleswoman)
"T-Thank you." (Endl)
Is this saleswoman a devil? She made me totally embarra.s.sed in front of Mary. Well it"s not that I care about that.
"Mary, turn your back." (Mary)
As soon as Mary turned around, I asked her to lift her hair and i put the necklace around her neck. When Mary saw the necklace on her, she was so glad I couldn"t explain.
"But I was right, it suits her a lot."
"You look beautiful, this necklace suits you very much." (Endl)
"Thanks, Endl." (Mary)
Mary thanked me and gave me hug, hugs was already becoming routine so just return the hug with affection.
