Aria was in her office reviewing her usual paperwork when the communication talisman that was reserved for the manager rang, at one point she heard the slightly anxious voice of the old man.
"Good evening young girl, the esteed guest of room 103 has just called to order his dinner, please co and pick it up".
Aria smiled and replied in a calm tone.
"I'll be there in a mont".
After hanging up, she got up from her desk and went to the kitchen where the manager respectfully handed her a space ring with the food Aster had ordered, Aria took it and went up the stairs heading to room 103 when she arrived, she simply deactivated her disguise and knocked on the door.
After a couple of seconds Aster opened the door only to see that beautiful young girl he t yesterday.
"Good evening Aria, please co in", Aster said as he invited her in.
Aria greeted him and quickly entered the room to avoid anyone seeing her.
Aster had already prepared the table beforehand so he helped her to take a seat and then went to sit down, while Aria took the food out of the space ring Aster told her.
"I spoke with the owner of the inn this morning and you will no longer have to do other work, so you can have dinner with every day without any problem, if she tries to break her promise tell and I'll go talk to her".
Aria enjoyed being with Aster since she did not feel any malice from him, it was as if she could relax and forget about all her problems when he was around, so she decided to tease him a bit as revenge for how he treated her while she was in disguise in the morning.
"Hoh, so now I belong to you, well at least I was bought by a young noble instead of so nasty old man I guess it's not that bad".
Aster put on a grin as he decided to follow the act.
"I only asked the owner to let have dinner with you and in return I paid her so that there would be no inconvenience, you can consider this ti you spend with as a break from your work, but if you want to, you can return ho with once I finish exploring the outside world"
Aster knew that she was just pretending to be mad, unfortunately he alreadey saw through her, so the only thing she earned was a being teased.
Aria knew he was also joking so she just laughed, it was surprisingly easy for her to get along with Aster even when she just t him not too long ago.
Hehehe I'm just kidding, the owner explained everything, thank you for worrying about ♥.
They started having dinner while talking about what they had done during the day Aster told her about his training in the forest but he did not tell her that he killed a beast in the earthly origin realm, while Aria told him that since he had spoken with the owner early, now her day consisted of helping her with so small tasks in her office, it was simply to not get bored during the day.
When they finished dinner Aria put down the dirty dishes and just kept talking with Aster for half an hour, this ti she had taken note of the ti because she did not want to leave the room so late as it could cause problems if soone saw her leave in the middle of the night, however Aster had other plans and before she could get up to leave, he took out a small rectangular wooden box.
"Have you ever heard of a board ga called domino?" Aster asked her.
Aria shook her head.
"No, how do you play?".
Aster smiled "I got you" he thought, before he explained to Aria the rules of the ga and the conditions to be declared the winner.
The ga sounded quite interesting so Aria wanted to give it a try.
"Let's play... but just a couple of rounds because it's getting late okay?".
Aster smiled and nodded.
And so, they spent several hours playing, Aria was surprisingly good at it and actually won at least 3 out of 5 gas, * clank * Aria placed her last chip on the table and with that won her ga number 23, while looking at Aster with a triumphant smile she realized that it was already past midnight and with an accusatory tone she told Aster.
"Why didn't you tell it was past midnight?".
Aster shrugged, as he answered.
"A certain soone was having such a good ti winning and kept asking for another round, that I didn't pay much attention to the hour, as an apology let give you this domino ga that I made especially for you".
Aria took the wooden box that Aster offered her so quickly that he couldn't follow the movent of her hands.
"Humph, it's fine since you prepared this gift for , I'll forgive you this ti", she sais as she hid the box as if she was afraid that Aster would take his words back.
Aster accompanied her to the door while he thought, "thank God she liked the ga, sigh won are irrational beings".
