Before the sun had set, Basara, Mio, and Maria set out from their home to eat out, with a train station as their first destination. The three of them strolled through the streets leisurely while shortlisting some restaurants, and choosing an Italian Restaurant in the end.
When they stepped inside, the interior gave off the feel of refined tastes. They were then guided by the staff to a table which would adjust the number of seats corresponding to the number of people near the counter at the entrance within the spacious hall. One could see the activity of staff streaming through the door to the kitchen, creating the atmosphere of looking forward to the wide range of delicious foods and liquors on the menu.
—It was the first time for the three of them, but it seems that they had made the right choice in choosing this restaurant. The three of them chose either spaghetti or pizza and a choice of meat toppings from the menu. Those are foods that will always be delicious, and indeed the food made them forget the awful feelings from the making of the Master-Servant contract yesterday, chatting freely while enjoying the delicious delicacies. They also shared the various specially picked spaghetti and pizza, not once even considering that they are of different genders. To Basara who had always been eating together with Jin, this was totally something fresh and new…..for this new leaf of life, having female family members was something that felt realistic to him.
After that—the happy times were cut short. After enjoying the various delicacies, came the bill. Although Mio and Maria offered to foot the bill, Basara rejected them—as this is a family dinner after all. Basara had lived alone with his father for a long time, and was receiving an allowance since he started schooling. After finishing with the payment, Basara went towards the two who were waiting outside in order to not disturb the other customers. “Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.”
“Don’t worry about it, thanks for footing the bill. Is it really fine?”
And replied to Mio who was uneasy:
“Ah ha, I’ve been saving up my allowance I got from my father. I’ve already decided to take care of you, so don’t mind it.”
“Ohh, thank you… Well then, shall we go back together?”
“I guess we should. It’s almost time for the police’s curfew, and it would be problematic if any one of us were to be questioned or lectured.
“—Well, what if it were two of us?”
Toujou Basara said so quietly.
There was somewhere he wanted to go.
