After leaving the gym, Kaito and Eris walked side by side down the street for the time being. As for their current situation, it had originally been Kaito who invited Eris, whom he happened to run into by chance, and now that their intended gym experience was over, there hadnt been any prior arrangement about what to do afterward.As such, it wouldnt have been strange for them to simply part ways here, but Kaito found that option a little unsatisfying in its own way. At the same time, he hesitated, wondering whether it was right to keep Eris, who had originally come into town for her own reasons, along with him any longer for his own convenience.
However, since there was no clear plan for where to go next, his thoughts were gradually leaning toward simply calling it a day though whether it was a good thing or not, Eris, who had ample experience dealing with people through high society, picked up on Kaitos feelings to some extent and offered a suggestion to help him out.
[Kaito-sama, do you have any plans after this?]
[Ah, no, I really just came to try out the gym, so I hadnt thought about anything afterward at all.]
[Then how about this? We did a fair amount of exercise, and although its a bit late, it is around lunchtime if you dont mind, would you like to go get something to eat?]
[Oh, that sounds great. Each activity was fairly light on its own, but altogether we did quite a bit, and Im getting hungry.]
[As for the restaurant, theres a place I had planned to visit, would that be alright? As you can see from how Im dressed, its not a high-end establishment, just an ordinary dining place]
[Honestly, that sounds better to me, I can relax more that way.]
Eris had certainly been dragged around by Kaito on a regular basis, enduring quite a number of stomach-aching situations because of it but at her core, she found Kaitos character likable.
Moreover, she was the type who could properly switch her mindset, and fundamentally, she was kind and gentle. When she first ran into Kaito, she had been surprised, and yes, it had caused her no small amount of stress but setting that aside, now that they had met and were spending time together, she wanted both to make sure Kaito enjoyed himself and for she herself to have some fun as well.
That was why she made gestures like this, sensing Kaitos feelings and taking the initiative to invite him to a meal, and also why she considered his preferences, deciding that a casual restaurant suited him better than a high-end one she might otherwise choose.
Of course, she would very much prefer to avoid unexpectedly running into outrageous individuals like Magnawell again but aside from that, she genuinely found the time spent with Kaito to be enjoyable rather than burdensome.
Well, combined with her thoughtfulness and gentle nature, Kaitos opinion of her was steadily rising, leaving her somewhat puzzled by the outcome.
In any case, having agreed to go for a meal together, the two of them began heading toward the restaurant under Eriss guidance.
[Come to think of it, Eris-san, do you often how should I put it go out into the streets like that?]
[Not frequently, but I do visit from time to time like this. Its not that I feel stifled by life as a noble. If I had to say, I simply believe that nobles should step into the city more and experience things firsthand. I think its foolish to cling to the rigid notion that nobles are above and commoners below, but even so, there are many things you cannot understand from only one perspective, whether that be the noble side or the commoner side. Rather than merely knowing something as knowledge, I believe that by actually experiencing it, one can broaden their horizons. As is the case with the Hydra Kingdom, the power of the people grows with the times and we nobles, too, must change. This is part of that.]
[Thats how should I put it, an incredibly admirable way of thinking.]
[Well, thats the official explanation.]
[Unn?]
Despite being younger than Kaito, Eris wore a composed, mature expression befitting a noble her words carrying a sense of responsibility and pride akin to noblesse oblige. As Kaito looked at her with admiration, Eris relaxed her expression and let out a wry smile.
[In truth, its just personal preference and a way to unwind. Its not that I feel suffocated by noble life, but sometimes I want a change of pace, a different environment. So I come out like this on occasions like that.]
[Ahh, yeah, that makes sense. Being a noble seems like itd be mentally exhausting in a lot of ways.]
[Yes. To put it bluntly, its a way to relax and a hobby. But for nobles, appearances are important in everything. So, to answer your question as a noble, the answer is that its an inspection carried out as part of my duties. Responding as Kaito-samas friend this is simply just a hobby. I enjoy seeing and experiencing new things.]
Eris smiled as she said that, clearly enjoying herself, and Kaito couldnt help but smile along with her.
(Anyhow, if Kaito-sama takes the lead, I have a feeling well end up running into another outrageous individual, so perhaps its better if Im the one deciding where we go)
Serious-senpai : [Thats exactly why Kaitos affection for her keeps going up.]
? ? ? : [When Eris talks with Kaito, she basically switches from being a noble to acting like a friend. She probably understands that Kaito prefers it that way. Compared to someone like Cornelia, the casualness she shows, like using a joking way of phrasing her words like she did this time, is likely a big reason why Kaito finds her so likable.]
