After that ssage, we chatted for a bit more, as we set up an hour for our eting in the café. They were all rather excited to et the Dhampir girl once more, who was actually older than all of us, yet maintained a young appearance, resembling my daughter a bit.
"I hope that we can get to know her better~" Rita said. "I wonder if she knows any hot vampire guy out there?"
"Rita why are you asking such a thing." I sighed. "Just having her as a friend is enough already!"
"A-Ahahah, it was a joke!" Rita said.
She's been a bit horny lately.
"Well, anyways, we'll be going for now. I am rather tired, honestly." I sighed. "Thank you for everything Lily! I'll co pick you up tomorrow at 4 pm."
"Sure! I'll be looking forward to it." Lily said.
I hugged het tightly and gave her a kiss in her cheek before departing. When she hugged back, I felt like she could had broken my ribs if I wasn't strong myself…
"L-Lily, try to practice controlling that strength of yours." I said.
"Y-Yes! I will." Lily felt a bit embarrassed.
"Don't worry partner, we'll get it done in no ti!" Her pickaxe, Tierra, spoke, floating in midair.
I don't know if I can trust in a talking weapon, but I'll leave it to her. Like that, we made our way back ho. Rita quickly decided to go back ho as she had to make dinner for her family, while Mark decided to accompany back to my house after I invited him to help make dinner.
"Ah, been a while since you've invited …" Mark said with a nostalgic sigh. "Ah, rember when you invited to a date and your daughter was really angered?"
"D-Don't remind of such embarrassing things…" I sighed, while beginning to peel potatoes while he was cutting at for the stew we were going to prepare.
"Embarrassing? It was really cute." Mark said. "I never thought you would be the one to invite to a date like that… I was honestly so happy back then it felt like I was in a dream."
"D-Dream? That much?" I asked in surprise. "You're exaggerating…"
"I'm not, I was just that happy." Mark said, looking into the window as the sun slowly began to set down the horizon. "S-Since that day that I fell for you even more than before."
"I-Is that so?" I felt like my cheeks were getting warr, was I blushing? "I was honestly surprised you accepted… I thought I looked creepy or sothing."
"Creepy?" Laughed Mark. "Don't say those things, there's no way soone as adorable as you could ever be creepy."
"Adorable? Geez, its not like I'm a little girl anymore…" I sighed. "W-Well, you're cute too."
"Hahaha, I don't think anybody else but you have ever told I am cute…" Mark giggled cheerfully. He finished cutting the at into small cubes, washed his hands, and then gently hugged from behind.
Uwaah! T-This is advanced lovey-dovey! He's really bold! But it makes happy too…
I stopped peeling potatoes as I gave him a glance, our faces were so close together, we ended kissing almost instinctively.
His lips were so soft and warm, kissing him made my heartbeat beco so fast…
He gently grabbed my hips, making feel slightly embarrassed, but I couldn't deny that it also made happy.
Once our long kiss finished, he looked into my eyes.
"I love you." He said without any other word.
Why is he so cute?!
"I-I love you too." I kissed his nose.
"Mom!"
However, our romantic mont was swiftly interrupted by my daughter.
"Y-Yes dear?!" I asked, quickly letting go of him a bit brutishly, my strength was enough to throw Mark into the walls.
BAAM!
"Ouch…"
"Uwaah! S-Sorry! Are you okay?!"
"Hahah, yeah, don't worry."
I swiftly helped him stand back up again and healed him from the pain, though he said he was fine, I felt too guilty!
"Mom!"
"What is it, Elena?"
"What are you making for dinner?"
"Sigh…"
She was calling from her room just to ask that.
"Beef Stew!"
"Eh? Is that it?"
"It's yummy! Don't say that!"
"…"
I guess she probably went to play the ga again…
"She's a bit cocky." Mark pointed out.
"Ah, well, it's my fault for spoiling her so much." I sighed, as I finished preparing the last things and left the stew boiling.
"Well, it still feels like she loves you a lot." Mark said. "I'm sorry if this sounds rude or sothing, but your relationship has improved a lot since the first ti I et her."
"Do you think so?" I wondered. "Well yeah, she has beco nicer… I hope I'm doing a good job…"
"You certainly are! Co on, have so more self-confidence." Mark said. "I think you're the best mother out there. You work hard for her and all."
"Maybe…" I sighed. "I guess you might be right… Ah, about that… There was sothing I've been thinking for a while."
"What is it?" He wondered.
"W-Well, it is about our jobs…" I said. "The last months I've received very generous incos from my videos, the donations and ad revenue made already over ten thousand dollars…"
"E-Eh?! That much?!" Mark asked. "Ah… Maybe I should start streaming as well? I haven't done it…"
"Yeah about that… Well, it is pretty obvious but I am earning much more than I actually get paid in the mini market… And with the world changing, I could also make money selling magic items too." I said. "So I was considering quitting… my job."
"Oh…" Mark suddenly looked down in the floor, as if I had ripped the soul out of his body...
"M-Mark?"
