"That's alright, but we have to send it to that address ourselves," the male staff said.
"But I need it now," Lawrend replied with a frown.
"I'm so sorry to hear that, sir. But this is according to protocol. If you really need them, we can give you what you can pay right now," the male staff responded.
"... Alright. Do what you like." Lawrend gave up. He got a point.. He would seem like a scamr if he insisted.
The male staff smiled and bowed to Lawrend. He was glad that Lawrend was so understanding.
Stacks and stacks of paper gold bills appeared in Lawrend's hand. They each had different amounts written on them. The staffs looked at the ring on Lawrend's finger in surprise.
A Storage Ring is hard to co by in the capital city. Only wealthy and powerful people had the capability to own them. Seeing that Lawrend had one, the male staff realized that he was legitimate.
"S-Sir, how about this. You can take everything. I will personally co to this address to take the paynt," the male staff said to him in a stutter.
"Hm? Alright then." Lawrend blinked his eyes at him in confusion.
"Thank you, sir!" The male staff bowed towards Lawrend respectfully.
"O-Okay…" Lawrend felt awkward seeing the man react to him so respectfully. He could understand his maids if they were respectful to him, but this is weird.
Lawrend took the three boxes in his storage ring and left the establishnt.
"Are we going ho now, Master?" Aezel asked. There was a tinge of disappointnt in her eyes.
"Not yet. I told you we're going on a date, right? We might as well use our extra ti to spend ti together. Let Ane and Grape take care of the mansion," Lawrend replied as he looked up at the dayti sky outside the potion store.
"Fufufufu. As expected of Master. Always so understanding." Aezel giggled happily.
"So where do you want to go? I don't know the city much," Lawrend said to her awkwardly. He already failed the first step to a good date. He doesn't know where to go.
"Master, we can buy baby clothes if you want," Aezel replied.
"..."
Lawrend stared at her and opened and closed his mouth like a fish. That isn't a date. She's making him more pressured about the baby.
"Fufufufu. I'm joking, Master. Why don't we visit the City Square? There are various food stalls there according to Sister Humility," Aezel replied with a smile.
"Okay. That sounds good to ," Lawrend replied with a wry smile on his face.
And so, the two of them rode a carriage again. They headed towards the City Square.
It's located north of the Royal Castle which is at the very center of the city. After riding the carriage for 10 minutes, they arrived.
It was a lush green forest in the City Square. Various stalls were set up on the side of a brick-paved area. Compared to the City Squares Lawrend saw in his past life, this was the largest. Heck, it even looked like a National Park with the trees.
"Have you been here before?" Lawrend turned to Aezel and asked.
"This is also my first ti, Master. I didn't know human cities were this interesting," Aezel replied as she looked at the City Square with interest.
Lawrend looked at her and opened his hand.
Aezel stared at it and looked up at his face.
She smiled, realizing what he ant. Aezel took his hand and held it. Even though she wore her maid uniform, Lawrend didn't feel embarrassed that he was holding her hand.
The two of them entered the City Square while holding each other's hands. The passersby looked at them oddly. A mage was holding the hand of a maid. Their minds couldn't help but imagine weird things.
They stopped at the first stall and looked at the objects sold. They were different colored gems.
"What are these gems for?" Lawrend asked.
"Huh? They are for magic staffs. If you want to create a good staff, you need one of these powerful gems of mine," the shopkeeper replied.
Lawrend turned around and left. He already had a staff.
"Tsk. Asking and not buying anything?" the shopkeeper grumbled behind Lawrend's back.
Lawrend ignored him and walked towards another stall. There were barebone wooden staffs sold. They didn't have any gemstone or intricate designs yet.
Lawrend skipped that stall. He has no use for another staff. He can just buy an already made one.
Lawrend and Aezel walked through all of the stalls but found nothing useful. Most of them were materials for magic circles, magic artifacts, and potions. Lawrend expected to find sothing to eat when he saw the stalls earlier.
"There's nothing interesting here. *Sigh*," Lawrend sighed in disappointnt.
"Master, there is a place in the capital called, 'The Food Street,' There are all sorts of food in there," Aezel said.
"Really? Let's go there then," Lawrend replied.
They rode a carriage once again and shortly after, they arrived at the Food Street. The delicious sll of at wafted through the air. Lawrend felt hungry imdiately.
He and Aezel looked at the various restaurants lining this long street. Lawrend saw cakes, ice creams, candies, at stews, and various other dishes. It was really a 'Food' Street.
"Let's go eat at this restaurant, Aezel," Lawrend pointed to a fine dining restaurant.
"Yes, Master." Aezel smiled happily.
She liked to see Lawrend excited. This is what she lives for… To make him happy. The mont he entered her life, it beca even more colorful from the bland one she had.
A demon like her falling for a human… What a disgrace. Though, she herself doesn't care.
Lawrend and Aezel entered that restaurant. The waiter wanted to stop Aezel from entering as she's dressed in a maid uniform, but Lawrend gave him a sharp look. The waiter felt intimidated and allowed Aezel to enter.
The two of them picked a small table and sat. Of course, Aezel let Lawrend sit first. She helped him by pushing his seat closer to the table.
