After settling things with Caesar, Wise brought it up to Belle and Fairy later that evening.
"Oh? Caesar actually has sothing bothering her?" Belle asked, glancing toward Fairy.
"|Analysis. Given her personality, she does not appear to be the type to struggle with such concerns.|"
"You're right, Fairy. I think she's just fallen for my brother and is stuck in that dazed, lovesick phase girls go through. All the signs are there, aren't they?"
Hearing them go back and forth, Wise didn't quite know how to respond. Still, they weren't entirely wrong—it did have a lot to do with him.
"Anyway, tomorrow I'll take her around the city so she can relax and clear her head," he said. "Might as well help her sort things out while we're at it."
"Is that so? Then, Brother, you'd better be careful. Make sure none of the girls you know spot you." Belle let out a small laugh as she warned him.
The mont he heard that, Wise pictured the scenario and shook it off imdiately.
If that actually happened, it would be a complete disaster. Things might end up 'exploding' again.
Since he had to get up early the next day, he decided to turn in earlier than usual. Lying on his simple but comfortable bed, he stared at the ceiling, wondering what he could do with Caesar tomorrow.
Shopping wasn't really his thing. His stamina could handle it just fine, but ntally, it was a different story. In that regard, Belle was far better suited.
Before he realized it, sleep quietly took over.
The next thing he knew, he was waking up to the clear, crisp chirping of birds.
By the ti he reached the eting spot, Caesar was already there, fully prepared and waiting beside her motorcycle, and he headed straight toward her.
"Haha, Wise, you're here," Caesar greeted him warmly.
"Yeah. Let's not waste ti, let's go."
After a brief exchange, Wise climbed onto the seat behind her.
However, the mont he settled in, he could clearly feel her body trembling slightly—she still wasn't used to having soone sit behind her.
"A-Are you sitting properly? Then... let's go!"
Several hours later, after the motorcycle ride, Wise and Caesar arrived at the video store on Sixth Street.
He wasn't in a rush to copy the data, but since he had already ntioned it to Lucy, she would definitely have told Caesar.
If he didn't handle this first, Caesar wouldn't be able to relax and enjoy the day.
After entering the staff room, Caesar looked around curiously, her gaze lingering a little longer than necessary on the long sofa in front of the television.
"Oh, right. Sotis Lucy even cos all the way to New Eridu just to watch movies starring her favorite celebrities."
As Caesar spoke, Wise finished up and turned his attention to her.
"I'm done here. The data will take a bit to copy, though. How about we walk around the city while we wait?" he suggested with a light smile.
"O-Okay... I'll go with you," Caesar replied, her cheeks faintly tinged red.
When it ca to helping soone relax in New Eridu, Wise wasn't particularly confident. But if it was sothing like this, spending ti with a girl, he could at least say he wasn't inexperienced.
He led her toward the tro entrance bound for Lumina Square. The mont Caesar saw the crowd, she let out a soft gasp.
"Wow... there are so many people. If we get separated, it'll be a hassle."
"Yeah. In that case... do you want to hold my hand?" Wise said, casually extending his left hand.
Caesar stiffened, her face imdiately flushing.
'Using this as an excuse to hold hands... he really knows what he's doing,' she thought.
Even so, she didn't pull back. Instead, she reached out and took his hand, her grip gentle as she felt the warmth of his palm. For so reason, it made her feel unexpectedly calm.
Not long after, they arrived at the cinema in Lumina Square. Faced with so many options, Caesar hesitated, unsure what to pick, and left the choice to Wise.
Noticing this, he chose a romantic cody titled Coffee Mate, based on what he knew of her tastes.
Caesar blinked in surprise. When she had read the synopsis earlier, a review ntioning how viewers' heartbeats would speed up during the film had caught her interest.
Still, she had been too embarrassed to say anything. Yet sohow, Wise picked that exact movie.
'But Lucy said guys don't usually like movies like this... did he choose it for ?' she wondered, stealing a glance at him.
By then, Wise had already bought the tickets and was smiling as he led her inside.
That thought quietly settled in her heart.
And in truth, he had chosen it for her—it had nothing to do with the fact that most of the other options were thrillers.
The outco was obvious. Caesar loved the movie. Even after they left the theater, she kept talking about it with him, her tone noticeably more lively.
Seeing her open up like that, Wise decided to keep things going and brought her to the Richard Teamilk shop.
Coco, the clerk, was busy serving custors as usual. The mont she saw Wise, she greeted him with a grin.
"Ah, it's that handso custor. And the girl next to you... why is she differ—"
"Cough, cough. Two recomnded tea milks, please. Thanks!"
Wise quickly interrupted her, clearing his throat twice. Luckily, Caesar's attention had already shifted to the shop, so she didn't catch what Coco was about to say.
Coco blinked, clearly confused, a hint of concern crossing her face.
'Did I say sothing wrong?'
She didn't realize she hadn't said anything wrong at all.
Just then, Caesar seed to rember sothing.
"Oh, I know this place! The last ti Burnice and I ca to the city, she bought a drink from here. We spent a long ti trying to "eat" it."
"Wait... what do you an by 'eat'?"
Wise glanced at the shop again. It was definitely just a tea milk store.
"Oh, that. Burnice said we rarely co to the city, so she wanted to figure out what goes into these drinks. She added every topping they had."
'...Yeah, that sounds exactly like her,' Wise thought with a helpless smile.
Soon after, Coco handed them two recomnded tea milks, along with a double straw.
Caesar stared at the oddly shaped straw, clearly puzzled.
Was she supposed to drink both at once?
After Wise showed her how it worked, her face flushed once more.
Even so, after a brief hesitation, she followed his suggestion and leaned in to try his tea milk.
