Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 53

I followed Tia into the antique shop, and while she was giving her opinions and explanations about the items on display, my mind was racing, and I couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

(Wait a second, isn’t this a date?)

Originally, she had planned to treat me to a meal as thanks, but now, we were walking around the city, and she had even linked her arm with mine.

You might think, “What is he worrying about now?” since I’ve already had s3x with Elma, Ruin, Aisha, and Haru before, but this is my first date, and I didn’t know what to do, so I was panicking.

Moreover, today, Tia was dressed stylishly, and she looked absolutely beautiful, which made things even worse. How many men must have turned around as we walked to the store?

With all that in mind, I was extremely nervous.

“…That’s what happened, but what’s wrong, Kingil?”

“Huh! No, it’s nothing at all!”

“I see, then that’s good.”

(This is bad, I need to focus!)

I snapped out of my thoughts, shaking my head, and then we visited different stores, from clothing to weapons and armor. At the jewelry store, I ended up buying a necklace for her.

“There are so many different types, I didn’t know much about this kind of thing since I don’t usually wear accessories.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’m the type of woman who’s more suited to holding a sword than wearing jewelry.”

Tia chuckled with a slightly self-deprecating smile.

“That’s not true at all! This ruby necklace looks great on you, Tia!”

I picked up the necklace and draped it around Tia’s neck. She looked at me with a bashful expression.

“How does it look?”

“Yeah! It looks great on you!”

“I see.”

Tia smiled, a mix of shyness and happiness, then we bought the necklace and left the shop.

“Are you sure? This must’ve been expensive.”

“It’s fine, I have quite a bit of money.”

I had been steadily completing quests, so I had a fair amount of money saved up.

“Thank you, I’ll treasure it.”

Tia squinted her eyes when looking at the necklace, then as we continued to look around the city, the day started to turn to evening, so we headed to the restaurant.

“This is the place.”

“It’s a place with a nice atmosphere.”

“This is a place I often go to with Aisha and the others. I wanted you to try it.”

“Oh, I’m looking forward to it.”

When Tia and I entered the store, there was a man in his fifties, with a mix of gray hair, brushing a glass. His appearance resembled that of a bartender.

“Tia… Welcome.”

“We’ll have the usual.”

When Tia made her order, the man started preparing the food.

“The stew here is amazing.”

“Oh, really?”

After waiting for a while, the stew was brought to the table.

“It looks delicious!”

“Let’s eat.”

After taking a bite, I was surprised by how delicious it was.

“What is this!? It’s so good!”

The creamy milk and the tender, stewed meat… I had never tasted anything like it in my previous life.

“Was it to your liking?”

“This is the first time I’ve ever had such delicious stew!”

I finished eating in no time.

“Ah, that was so good.”

“Fufu, I’m glad you liked it.”

After Tia finished her meal, we left the restaurant and walked around without any particular destination. There was no conversation, just walking, but I felt oddly content. After a while, Tia suddenly spoke.

“Kingil… Do you have anything planned after this?”

“No, nothing in particular.”

“I see… Could you come with me for a bit?”

“Ah, sure.”

I walked behind Tia and we arrived at the inn where Aisha and the others were staying. Tia didn’t say anything and entered the inn, so I quietly followed her. When she opened the door to what was likely her room, she stepped inside.

“Please come in…”

“Y-yeah.”

With my heart racing, I followed Tia into the room. Once inside, she turned to face me.

“There’s something I want to talk about…”

“Yes…”

Tia turned red, lowering her head but looking up at me from beneath her lashes. I gulped in response.
