As the carriage came to a standstill, Leilia opened the door and got out. She got off with Cassel and looked at the sign, she turned her gaze slightly to him.
A blazing sunset.
My seniors always said they liked the sunset here.
Cassel glanced around.
The bar, which used all of these floors, was luxurious from the exterior. When they went inside, he saw a floor made of marble and people were drinking at tables made of wood in a large space. It was full even though the sun was just about to set. With the walls were ablaze with red lights and a hall in the middle, there was music playing and people came forward and danced.
They also sing sometimes.
She then brought Cassel in as if she was familiar with the place. Staring at the two of them, Lucis whispered to Leilia.
What time shall I pick you up?
12 oclock.
He then turned towards Cassel.
Ill leave the Young Lady to you.
His words meant for him not to do anything stupid. Cassel, who understood Lucis words, smiled slightly.
Why do you talk like youre threatening me?
Ill pick you up at 11.
Finishing his words, Lucis left those words and walked outside. Left alone with Cassel, Leilia looked at Lucis back and shouted.
Ill be there at 12!
It was because the bar closes at twelve. Still, Cassel couldnt believe that hed be together with Leilia for that long.
Oh, really.
After muttering to herself, Leilia turned her head and walked over to a waitress.
Where shall I take you?
Ill go upstairs.
You mean the second floor?
The second floor was a composition where you could look at the first floor, and it was a place where no one could go. Moreover, some of the usage fees had to be paid in advance.
Here you go.
When Leilia pulled out the coupon, the waitress who saw the coupon immediately bowed her head.
You can go up.
While they slowly climbed up the stairs together, Cassel, who was following her, asked as if he was curious about the coupon.
What was it?
We sell a hundred days worth of coupons here. Its rather expensive, but I bought one because I needed it.
I see.
I sometimes stop by here when my uncle comes to do business, so I use it then.
When they went up to the second floor, the evening sunset came in through the window. Sitting across from Leilia, Cassels eyes were dyed a mysterious red. Likewise, his reddish silver hair was also very captivating.
Ah.
He was a truly mysterious-looking man.
Although he had just passed the age of majority, he had a youthful appearance though he came across as a man rather than a child.
Since its Cassels first time, Ill order.
After Leilia said that, she ordered grilled fish and wine. While the first floor was noisy, on the second floor, each partition had a soundproofing device, so even the slightest sound could be heard very well.
Isnt fish expensive?
Its because the Capital is far from the sea, but after the magic teleportation was developed, the price has somehow gone down.
Isnt that Young Lady Leilias standard?
Saying so, he handed her a fork, and Leilia took her fork and ate her own portion of fish. The flesh of the fish, which was soft and somewhat sweet, was easy to chew. As she tucked her brown hair behind her ears, the earrings on her earlobes gleamed. Cassel, who was staring at it, quickly lowered his head as his eyes overlapped with Leilias.
Why do you lower your head so often?
When she asked about his behavior curiously, Cassels cheeks heated up.
Its just that I couldnt believe Im with my benefactor.
He responded carefully.
Leilia laughed at that and poured the wine into his glass.
Red wine filled the wine glass.
She really enjoyed this time To the extent that she could forget her father, her family, and her mothers inheritance, and just laugh. As she thought so, Leilia smiled sincerely and brightly for the first time in a long time.

After taking a sip of the red wine, Leilias cheeks glowed red. Cassel saw her like that and drank the first drink of his life. The wine tasted bitter at the end, but this moment was so sweet that he couldnt even feel it. His heart was beating so fast that he didnt even realize what it tasted like. Cassel pressed his chest hard as if he was trying to press his heart, then let go of the wine glass.
What do you think?
Her smile was beautiful. Black eyes, slightly tinted with purple, looked at him through her twinkling gaze.
Its delicious.
Cassel thought that anything would be sweet if he were with her. Meanwhile, not knowing that he felt this way towards her, Leilia smiled at his answer.
Was she a woman who laughed a lot like this?
Isnt it nice here?
Quiet and serene Even though there were many people around them, it was soundproofed, so it seemed as if only the two of them were talking.
He then nodded his head.
Fish is delicious, but so is the wine.
He made up his words moderately. It wasnt a complete lie, so his face showed a little admiration. Seeing him like that, Leilia tilted her head slightly and whispered.
Do you want to go dancing?
