"Courtney, you haven't visited much of the city. Why don't we check it out together?"

With Courtney being a new addition to my household, it would be better for her to get used to her surroundings.

"A date..?"

The first thing that came to mind for Courtney was a date. Even though she nervously said that she smiled brightly. What she said wasn't wrong. This was also a chance to get to know her better.

"Yep. It's a date."

"I should get changed..."

Without waiting any further, Courtney dashed off to her room and got ready to dress up. There was nothing to do during this time, so I could only wait for Courtney to get ready.

"Courtney, could I come in?"

After five minutes of waiting, I got impatient. The last time Reina got ready, it took her thirty minutes, and I'm not going to do that again.

"Could you wait a minute?"

No, I can't. Without any warning, I entered her room. What I saw was the naked sight of her body. Staring at me, I nodded, approving of how nice she looked.

"..."

"Didn't I say to wait!!!"

Courtney hid behind something to cover herself completely.

"You did. But the last time I had to wait, it took too long. You also don't have to hide. I explored all of your body two days ago."

"Shut up!!!"

Courtney threw a shirt at my face, too flustered by what I said. Talk about overreacting. I crept closer toward her and hugged her from behind.

"Wait!!!"

"You're overreacting. I'm not going to harm you."

Courtney's body was warm. My actions didn't contain any lustful motives. All I was doing was helping her get used to this.

"I get it... But I can't change like this..."

"Right."

I didn't stop hugging her and continued to feel her warmth. She stared at me in silence, wondering what I would do.

"Sorry, but you're warm and cozy."

Courtney sighed but smiled and hugged me back. Finished with it, I released her and let her pick her clothes. Her choice of clothing was a bit too good, she tried many options, but before she got too into it, I had to stop her.

"Stop. You don't need to do make-up and style your hair. You look great the way you're."

"Shouldn't I do my best..?"

Before Courtney did another hour's worth of preparation, I did my best to stop her. Maybe I should schedule dates next time, so I don't have to wait hours.

"As I said earlier, you look great the way you're. I also want to spend my time with you as much as possible. So why don't we go now?"

Getting the ok signal from Courtney, I took her hand and led the way. We exited the mansion and walked our way to the streets of the academy city.

"Do you mind if we get lunch first? I haven't eaten yet."

The time for us to have lunch had already arrived. There was one thing that I had noticed late. The food consumption was much higher with the support of my heart.

All seven sins were flooding within me, with the exception of envy and sloth. I hope there won't be a time when I become a slug.

"Lunch does sound nice."

I took Courtney to the place where Prince and I had lunch yesterday. The food that was made was pretty damn good.

"Order anything you want."

Like yesterday, I ordered the same meal with an addition of beef and mashed potato. Courtney checked the menu and ordered food that she found familiar.

It took a while for Courtney to pick her choice of food. I had almost forgotten that she was from a different world, literally. Even though there was a slight cultural difference, she would still need time for adjustment.

Luckily the food from our world was similar to Gaia. At most, the names were changed for most foods. This restaurant had sample pictures of what they should look like. Courtney should use those references to order what she likes.

[Courtney POV]

What should I do? What should I do??? Pasta? Lasagna? Pizza? What are these foods!!! Should I ask Charles for help?

The pictures on the menu don't help when I have no clue what these foods are. I glanced at Charles, and he smiled when I looked at him. It was hard for me to ask without embarrassing myself...

A tuna sandwich shouldn't be that bad, right? With how basic the food looks, I decided to get a serving.

"I'm done with my choice..."

"Hey. Could you take our order?"

Charles waved his hand to the nearest waitress. He ordered a kid meal set, a medium beef steak with mashed potato as a side. He ordered both of our drinks, and he got us hot lemon tea with honey mixed with it.

"You met the other two yesterday. How do you feel about them?"

Reina and Rose... Thinking back about it, they were friendly people. There was a slight discomfort when I was with Rose, but Reina, I didn't have any problems with her.

"There aren't any problems between us... I could get along with all three of them."

"It doesn't sound convincing when you speak nervously. I know it's your nature, but they shouldn't be people that would hinder you in any way. If you have any trouble, do tell me."

"You don't mind if I bothered you..?"

"It would be weird if you didn't."

Charles's words reassured me. It was rough not knowing anyone from this world. The technology of this world was more advanced, and there were times when I was afraid to touch them to avoid breaking them by chance.

I'm glad Charles hadn't changed once I entered this world. I may have made a hasty attempt to agree to his terms. Even though he had a nasty personality, he was sweet when he wanted it to be.

The food we ordered came, and we began to eat our lunch.
