*Growling*"What was that thunderous sound!? Don"t tell me it came from your stomach!"
Ira held her stomach and looked embarra.s.sed.
"S- Shut up, stupid donkey!"
"Hahaha! Let"s go and get something to feed you."
Shiv entered into a local restaurant and ordered all kids of costly dishes that were on the menu.
"Hey! What are you doing? Do you have enough money to pay for it? All these are quite costly!"
"Don"t worry about money! I have a lot more than you could imagine! The dishes are here. Let"s eat!"
An appetizing meal was spread across the table in front of them. It was appealing to one"s senses. The appearance of the dishes and the tingling fragrance of it sweety tortured their nostrils, in turn their hunger intensified.
Ira finally gave into her carving for the food and fed herself blissfully. Watching her eating was more satisfying for Shiv than actually eating the food. Ira who was stuffing her face with food realised that he has yet to take a bit.
"Hey! Why are you not eating? It"s so tasty!"
"You are so cute! Watching you eat is more fun to the point that I"m starting to get jealous of the food!"
"W- What? Are you stupid? Getting jealous over the food? Why?" Ira was purely confused by his words. That innocent look on her eyes made him smile like crazy.
"I said..." Shiv leaned in on her as he spoke in a soft whisper audible only to her ears.
"I wish I was your food. So that I could be eaten by you!"
Ira"s top blew as her heart raced. The sanity that she hung onto totally snapped. She grew crimson red all the way to her ears and neck.
Seeing her reaction, Shiv"s heart fl.u.s.tered. This was the first time that she clearly expressed her feelings on her face without hiding them.
Shiv rested his head on his palm as he gazed at her tenderly with his eyes full of love.
"Okay then, let"s eat."
Ira stroke her stomach with satisfaction. Shiv was getting ready to pay their bill. But to his surprise, he was not able to find his wallet.
"Sh*t! I got pick-pocketed!"
Seeing him getting frozen on the spot, Ira looked stupefied. She pulled the hem of his cloth as she whispered into his ear.
"Hey... what happened? Is something wrong?"
Shiv looked like a kid who got caught by his mom for stealing a candy. Ira blinked blankly at him for a while until a sudden realisation struck her.
She slided beside him as she whispered into his ear.
"Did... did you... possibly... lose your wallet?"
Shiv facepalmed himself as he side peeked at her with embarra.s.sment. His look was enough to
answer her question.
"Pfft! Hahaha, you seriously got pick-pocketed? When did this happen? Don"t tell that time when the kid b.u.mped into you... Pfft! The great demon lord got pick-pocketed by a kid!! Hahaha!" Ira was laughing out loud as she held her stomach. Shiv was totally embarra.s.sed that he dared to look at her.
"Ha... ha.. ha... huh? Then... what do we do now? How do we pay the bill??" Ira whispered to him in an hushed voice as she totally forgot that they had to pay the bill.
"Ohh.. you finally remember that!"
"Hey! Stop kidding! Tell me what you plan on doing?"
"I"m the demon lord after all. I believe the people here would know me. Huh!" Shiv brimmed with pride.
"Excuse me, Mister stupid donkey. I don"t think people here recognises your face..."
Shiv turned around to see if anyone was paying any attention to him. But to his surprise, just like she said, n.o.body even looked at him. He had a really confused look on his face.
"Why are they not looking at me? Aren"t they supposed to bow at my feet? Now that you mention it... It is indeed strange. n.o.body paid any attention... Then how about I go and explain the owner about my ident.i.ty? I think it will work."
"Yeah, yeah, my foot! Have you really gone stupid? If you say that, people will definitely take you as a freak!"
"Then what do we do?"
"The answer is obvious... We should run! Keep your calm. Don"t let your face sell us out. Follow me. I will count to 3. When I say 3, run! Okay?"
"The great demon lord, now has to run for his life, for not paying the bill? How could I do that!?"

"Hey stupid donkey! Just do as I say! Well, as long as we don"t get caught, it will be fun!" Ira mischievously smirked at him.
"Okay whatever! I will do as you say! Let"s go!"
"One..."
Both Shiv and Ira slowly stood up from their table as they headed to door with a calm demeanor. They both looked like professional actors who got immersed into their roles.
"Two..."
They both reached the door neatly without any disturbance. But before they could set their foot outside the building, they were stopped by the manager.
"My lord, have you paid the bill?" Before Shiv could say anything, Ira answered him on his behalf.
"We kept the money on the table. We don"t need the change." As her grip on his arm tightened, she whispered to him softly.
"Three, RUN!"
"C-Catch them! They haven"t paid the bill!"
Ira was grinning like a mischievous kid as she took Shiv"s hand into hers and started running. "This is so funny!"
"There they are! Catch them!!"
"Yeah, as long as we don"t get caught! Haha!" Shiv couldn"t help but laugh and enjoy the moment with her.
Ira pulled him into the nearest alley as they hid themselves behind the huge barrels that were kept there. The men didn"t notice the alley as they just pa.s.sed it and lost sight of them.
"Phew! We finally lost them!" Ira breathed a deep sigh of relief as she leaned her body against the wall and panted as she squatted down. Shiv also squatted beside her as he laughed heartily.
"That was so stupid! I can"t believe, I was running for my life for such a simple thing. Pfft!" Ira too joined him as they both were laughing at themselves.
Shiv suddenly stopped as his gaze was locked on the girl beside him. He couldn"t tear his gaze away from her.
