Chapter 388: A Date with Edelweiss!
The match was suspended once again.
Mm… the reason was still field repairs.
Kurono arrived with a dark face, then left with a dark face.
However, Luke had a feeling that at the final moment before she left, she seemed to be considering from what angle she should shoot him.
"Stella was clearly the one who destroyed the field this time. Why is it being counted against me…"
As Luke sighed, he used a toothpick to pick up a takoyaki and fed it to Edelweiss.
Edelweiss was still not quite used to this kind of intimate behavior, but she could not withstand Luke's insistence. In the end, she could only accept Luke feeding her with a red face.
After eating the takoyaki, Edelweiss even carefully looked left and right, as though checking whether her behavior had drawn attention.
Looking at her cute appearance with amusement, Luke could not help commenting.
"The ability I placed on you to hide your identity hasn't disappeared yet. Even if people see you, ordinary people won't recognize you as the famous Twin-Wings."
"Just relax and eat. Come on, ahhh~~~"
"Ah~ mm…"
Edelweiss, whose attention was still on observing her surroundings and feeling embarrassed, subconsciously opened her mouth and accepted Luke's second feeding.
Then, after realizing what she had done, Edelweiss's small face turned even redder.
She lightly punched Luke, then snatched the box of takoyaki from his hand.
The embarrassed Edelweiss decided to eat by herself and no longer give Luke any chance to continue his feeding play.
However, when she picked up a takoyaki with the toothpick and had yet to put it into her mouth, Luke, who had already prepared beside her, leaned over and snatched it away with his mouth.
This time, it became Edelweiss feeding Luke.
Edelweiss stared blankly at the now-empty toothpick in her hand, unable to react for a moment.
However, while she failed to react, the "audience" around them did.
The area near the Seven Star Sword Art Festival venue was extremely lively. Various stalls filled the inside and outside, making it feel like walking through a temple fair.
There were also plenty of couples and married pairs walking together, so under the cover of Seisenjutsu, Luke and Edelweiss did not stand out much.
Even when Luke fed Edelweiss, it was the same.
After all, more than one couple was doing this. There was even a couple not far away playing around even more boldly, feeding each other mouth-to-mouth.
It was only because Edelweiss was thin-skinned that she became this shy.
However, while a man feeding a woman was not rare, a woman feeding a man was somewhat less common.
Although it did not attract as much attention as the couple feeding each other mouth-to-mouth not far away, it still more or less drew the gazes of the people around them.
Their gazes swept back and forth, and one or two comments could be heard.
And so, Edelweiss, who was staring at the toothpick, blushed more and more.
Finally…
She pulled Luke and ran away.
…
After passing through more than a dozen stalls in a row, Edelweiss, who had finally managed to suppress her embarrassment and regain her calm, stopped.
This distance was nothing to either Edelweiss or Luke, who was being pulled by her, so neither of them was out of breath.
At this moment, Edelweiss could finally calm down and taste the food properly.
She ate the final takoyaki in her hand, and this time, she finally managed to taste it.
There were only four takoyaki in one box.
Because of the feeding play, Edelweiss, who had been in a tense and embarrassed state, had not paid attention to the taste of the first two at all.
The third had been snatched away by Luke.
Fortunately, she finally ate the last one normally.
Just as Edelweiss was thinking that, a click suddenly sounded beside her.
Turning her head, she saw Luke raising his student handbook toward her.
Combined with the sound she had just heard, Edelweiss instantly understood the situation.
She rolled her eyes at Luke in annoyance, then…
Silently made a cute peace sign beside her face.
For the rest of the time, Luke and Edelweiss both had a very enjoyable time.
Edelweiss was happy because she was on a date with Luke. Although many things made her, a beginner who had never dated before, very shy, she was also extremely happy beyond that shyness.
As for Luke, the biggest reason he was happy was because he had obtained two "limited edition" photos.
One was Edelweiss's happy expression right after she had eaten the takoyaki, with her cheeks puffed out.
The other was Edelweiss, still puffing out her cheeks, making a peace sign at the camera.
That was right. Edelweiss had completely failed to realize that when Luke took the photo, she still had a takoyaki in her mouth.
The round takoyaki had puffed up half her face, making it look very amusing.
Especially since she herself had not realized it at all, and had even made a peace sign.
Luke had already begun looking forward to Edelweiss's reaction after the two of them returned to the room and she saw those two photos.
Of course, there were also some regrets.
Namely…
"Come on, ahhh~~~"
"…N-No!"
"Come on, be good. Open your mouth. Ahhh~~~"
"Uu… I-I really still can't do it!"
Edelweiss's thin skin exceeded Luke's imagination a little.
Putting down the dango in his hand, Luke looked at his girlfriend with a strange gaze.
"You're way too easy to embarrass. I thought that with your personality, you wouldn't react this much."
"I usually couldn't tell you had this side at all."
Edelweiss's behavior during the date could be said to have completely overturned Luke's impression of her.
Whether in battle, during the time they spent together on Sword Peak, or even these past few days after arriving at the Seven Star Sword Art Festival venue, Edelweiss had never been this nervous and shy when interacting with Luke.
Although she had been relatively easy to blush and feel embarrassed, overall, she had still been composed and graceful.
Mm… except in bed.
Whether it was due to her natural constitution or because her senses were too strong, Edelweiss was super sensitive… ahem.
Luke had always thought that her blushing and shyness were caused by never having been in love before.
That was not hard to understand.
Edelweiss, who did not even have friends, naturally had little chance to interact with the opposite sex.
Moreover, her identity as a criminal also meant she had to remain vigilant toward anyone who approached her.
So it was understandable that she would appear especially easy to embarrass when having intimate contact with Luke.
Originally, that was what Luke had thought.
But judging from her reaction during today's date, it seemed that was not all.
Luke had originally believed Edelweiss's personality was strong, dignified, kind, and graceful, and that her occasional timid behavior was caused by lack of experience and embarrassment.
Now, it seemed that his understanding of Edelweiss was still not thorough enough.
Thinking this, Luke made up his mind to test her a little.
