Arya looked at Lith’s dramatic behaviour and shook her head with a smile. She wondered how things had come to such a point for a few seconds. A few days ago they were just teacher and student and now here she was, going on a date with her student.
It wasn’t just that, this student of hers was too shameless, even claiming that this was not a date at all. No matter the case, Arya had now gotten herself into it and it was all due to herself. Who would’ve thought that her small prank from before would lead to such things.
“How do you want me to carry you? Princess style or a piggy back would do?”
Lith put on a pondering expression and said after a few seconds, “I am not a princess, so that’s out. Let’s go with piggy back.”
“You aren’t a pig too… or are you?” Arya asked, smirking.
“Ahhh, I am so hungry that I can’t even hear you, teacher. Please carry the poor and weak me or I’ll probably starve to death now.” Lith said dramatically.
Arya let out a small chuckle and picked Lith up in a piggy back position. Lith wrapped his hands around her neck and had his legs supported beside Arya’s waist by her hands.
Arya walked out of the bedroom and stopped in the living room. She asked Lith without turning her head
“Any place that you would like to go to?”
“No.” Lith answered while having his chin rest on her left shoulder.
Arya nodded her head and took a step ahead and vanished from her spot along with Lith.
…
Nine Roses Hotel, Kerzo city, Espat.
Space fluctuated on the highest floor of the Nine Roses Hotel, the 100th floor, and two people appeared out of thin air. One of them was carrying the other on his back, while the other simply lay down relaxedly and allowed himself to be carried.
It was Arya and Lith who just arrived on the top floor of the Nine Roses Hotel.
“Welcome, Madam.” A lady wearing black and white business bowed and said to Arya.
Arya didn’t respond to her but just nodded.
The lady then stood erect and said gesturing towards her left, “this way please, madam.”
“Did you book a table beforehand, teacher?”
Lith asked Arya after noticing that the management lady seemed to know what they were here for.
“Not really.” Arya replied while walking towards the direction pointed by the management lady and replied to Lith.
“The lady seems to know why you are here though. Don’t tell me she thought that we are a couple and here for dinner just by looking at us. Hmm also, I thought you would teleport near some hotel and I would have to walk to the table but you directly came inside.
Oh my… don’t tell me this was your plan, teacher. You did this so that the management here would think that we are a couple and you would get a couple’s discount. Tch, tch, you are so shameless, teacher.”
Lith falsely accused Arya shamelessly without feeling even an ounce of embarrassment.
This was the same guy who was worrying that he would mess up the date a few minutes ago but as soon as Arya arrived, he got comfortable around her and totally forgot about it.
This is a common occurrence . People tend to worry a lot about their dates beforehand, but if their partner is right, they feel comfortable around them and their worries fade away. The same thing happened to Lith today, so such a mood shift wasn’t out of the ordinary.
“That’s right. I did all of these for that couple’s discount. Your teacher is too broke and can’t afford things. Isn’t it very sad?” Arya turned her head a bit and said with a smile.
“Yes, very sad. But now I’ve become your boyfriend for that reason and what would people think of you? Carrying me like this and I also seem very young. Not to mention you’re much taller and more mature looking than me. My, my, teacher, do you plan on making people think that you’re a shotacon? *Gasp*”
Lith joked and faked a gasp.
“Why would I make them think… when I actually am one? *Wink*” Arya turned her head and winked at Lith after finishing her reply.
Lith raised both his eyebrows in amusement and smiled. He had no reply to give her for this or had no idea what to say anymore. It seemed that his teacher beat him into being shameless now. He cleared his throat and said
“Ahem, teacher, we’ve reached, you can put me down now.”
Arya, instead of putting Lith down, changed his position from piggy back to princess carry and walked towards the table in front of her and placed him down on his seat.
Lith’s face turned slightly red after Arya did that. Now this was a bit too much for him to not feel embarrassed. However, he didn’t voice out his complaints and pretended as if nothing happened.
On a chair in front of a round table, Arya sat across from Lith. They were currently in a lavish room with a red carpet throughout. Lith began looking around after settling down, and Arya sat there watching him without interfering.
A glass wall to Lith’s left provided a view of the city of Espat. Tall towers, brightly lit roads, numerous large and small buildings, parks, and the forest at its edge characterised the city.
In front and behind him was brownish wooden walls which seemed exquisite and were present at an angle. A wall stood to Lith’s right, similar to the wooden ones but not at an angle.
Many silver chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, and candles were lit on the round table, which was surrounded by roses. It was a perfectly romantic dining place in Lith’s opinion. Looking at how he was still looking around, Arya cleared her throat and after bringing his attention onto her, she said with a smile
“Ahem, weren’t you hungry? Why are you looking around so much?”
“This is a nice place, teacher. Thankyou for bringing me here.” Lith said to Arya with a smile.
“I promised you I would, didn’t I?” Arya said with a smile.
Lith nodded his head and looked at the menu in front of him. After a few minutes, he looked at Arya and asked
“Teacher, did you decide on what you’re getting?”
“Nope. Whatever you’re having, I’ll just have it too.” Arya said with a smile.
She was an immortal so due to not needing food anymore, she didn’t have any particular preference for food anymore. Thus, she just left it to Lith and gave such an answer.
“Alright. Uhh, but there’s no one around whom I can give my order to.” Lith said, looking around.
Arya clapped her hands twice and the lady from before walked into the big luxurious room and stood beside the table Lith and Arya were seated at.
“What would you like to order, madam?” The management lady asked politely.
Arya didn’t look at the lady and just pointed at Lith. The management lady turned to Lith and asked
“What would you like to order, sir?”
“Fish and chips for starters with tartar sauce.” Lith began with his order.
The management lady noted it down without questioning him or suggesting anything. Everything was available on the menu and there was Arya present on the table too. She didn’t want to do anything that may make her annoyed and thus, stayed quiet and silently noted everything Lith said.
“Renzig Rabbit for main course.” Lith said to the lady with a smirk.
Arya covered her face and giggled hearing Lith’s order.
The management lady didn’t understand what was happening but nevertheless minded her business and noted it down.
“Steamed rice, lamb chop and sweet and sour soup for main course too. Chocolate as well as vanilla ice cream for desserts and two mojitos.” Lith said and finished with his order.
“Make one of the mojito without alcohol.” Arya added.
Lith was young and wasn’t a rank 6 yet. Alcohol or any intoxicating substance would harm his body and Arya knew about it. Even though they were on a date and he was free to order anything he wanted, she was still his teacher who cared about his health and thus didn’t let him have anything that may harm him.
Lith didn’t mind it and the lady left after taking their order. After she left, Arya looked at Lith and asked with a smile on her face,
“Are you really this petty?”
“Petty? Me? Why do you say so?” Lith asked by putting his hands on the table and resting his chin on the back of his palm.
He knew what she was asking about but pretended he didn’t know.
“Heh. Playing dumb, are we? Well nevermind. Hmm also, I thought you would order the whole menu or something expensive or exquisite.” Arya put out her thoughts.
“Teacher, I am here to fill up my tummy with something yummy. Not to show off or act like royalty.” Lith said honestly.
