Chapter 332: Date
"How come you suddenly want to go out?"
Loren closed the book in his hand and asked.
"I just want to be alone with you for a while..."
Naclis sat on the edge of the bed, her hands resting primly in front of her:
"Ever since more and more people have come to live with us, the time we spend together has become less and less..."
"This..."
Loren felt a bit awkward. This was indeed a problem, and he could feel it himself. Since the number of people in the house had increased, the time Loren had left for Naclis and Anna had indeed diminished.
One thing was particularly obvious: Naclis had basically never slept with Loren again.
"Sorry..."
Loren hugged Naclis, stroked her hair, and apologized.Perhaps his feelings for them hadn't diminished one bit, but that didn't mean their feelings would be the same as before.
Loren could also sense that Naclis would feel somewhat displeased when he showed intimacy with the other Witches, and he himself didn't seem to have paid much attention to Naclis's feelings either.
Unlike her outwardly strong appearance, her heart was very sensitive. Loren knew this too, which was why he felt guilty for his negligence.
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'll accompany you."
Hearing this, Naclis showed a smile that had been absent for a long time:
"I don't know. Anyway, let's just go out first."
After Loren agreed, Naclis directly pulled Loren and ran outside. Loren only had time to put on his black robe; he didn't even have time to strap on his explosives. Fortunately, his magazines and Magical Potions were always hidden inside the black robe.
"Will you take me to buy some clothes? It's a good chance to get you a set too. You're always dressed in black, hiding your good looks."
"Being inconspicuous is better. It won't attract attention. Even the probability of being randomly chosen by a murderer would be smaller."
Loren had always adhered to pragmatism. As long as something was useful, its appearance didn't matter at all.
So even the ninth-tier Magical Potions Loren concocted used only ordinary bottles enchanted with a hardening effect. If it were anyone else, making a bottle out of gold would be considered restrained.
"Just do it to accompany me, okay?"
Naclis wrapped her arms around Loren's arm, leaned her head against his shoulder, looking as if she had been influenced by Anna.
"Alright."
Since Naclis said so, Loren let her have her way.
They walked very slowly, forming a stark contrast with the people rushing around them.
At this moment, their attire was also very ordinary. Loren was dressed in black clothes with a black robe draped over him, while Naclis wore ordinary trousers and a half-sleeve shirt, carrying a small bag on her back. They looked like an ordinary young couple, and no one paid them any attention.
Naclis pressed herself tightly against Loren, feeling each other's body warmth.
"I want to go look at clothes in that shop."
Loren had originally planned to take Naclis to a clothing store to look around, but before they arrived, Naclis chose a shop.
"..."
Upon seeing this shop, Loren was stunned for a moment:
"Isn't this a bridal shop?"
"That's right. This is exactly where I want to go."
Naclis smiled at Loren and directly pulled him inside.
Unable to resist her, Loren could only follow her in.
"Welcome. May I ask what you..."
"These two outfits. We'll try them on right now!"
Before the female shop assistant could finish, Naclis had already chosen a wedding dress and a suit, wanting to pull Loren into the changing room together to change.
"Miss, your boyfriend cannot enter the women's changing room..."
As soon as the words were spoken, Naclis slapped a gold coin in front of the female shop assistant. The shop assistant immediately locked the door:
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone else disturb you and your boyfriend."
Hearing the shop assistant refer to Loren as her boyfriend, Naclis smiled and forcibly pulled Loren into the women's changing room.
"Do I have to change too?"
Loren held the suit Naclis had chosen for him and asked.
"Of course."
Naclis imitated Loren and cast a Shielding Spell, then directly began changing her clothes. Loren once again saw her childlike underwear.
"Okay..."
Loren thought about how he had been neglecting Naclis lately and ultimately decided to go along with her.
"Why are you still wearing white stockings under your pants..."
"You don't like them? I see Laila usually wears them like this."
To this, Loren didn't reply, which counted as tacit approval.
Even changing clothes in front of Naclis didn't cause Loren much embarrassment. Having lived with Naclis for so many years, Loren was long used to it.
The two of them changed and walked out. The female shop assistant enthusiastically praised them as a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and took the opportunity to introduce the shop's photography service. They had cameras imported from the Uridia Kingdom.
Having stayed in Uridia for so long, Naclis also knew what a camera was. Without another word, she took out another gold coin.
"Get a little closer, interlace your fingers... yes, just like that..."
Under the female shop assistant's direction, Loren and Naclis struck one intimate pose after another. Loren was like a puppet, allowing Naclis to maneuver him as she pleased.
The female shop assistant pressed the shutter again and again until the film ran out. Only then did Naclis release Loren's hand, and Loren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Naclis's mood was a bit too high-spirited today. Loren couldn't quite handle it for the moment.
Afterwards, Naclis bought the wedding dress and happily walked out of the bridal shop with a stack of photos.
"I'm a bit hungry now. Let's go eat at a dessert shop."
Before Loren could catch his breath, Naclis dragged him out again:
"Before, to appear mature, I always restrained myself. Because back then, I thought these things were what children liked to eat. You didn't really like eating them, so I was deliberately imitating you. But I actually do like eating these things."
Naclis held Loren's hand and suddenly started walking backwards. She looked into Loren's eyes and said with a beaming smile.
Her energetic demeanor was more like Anna's, but Loren thought it would be quite nice if Naclis really became like this. Being perpetually burdened and serious wasn't good for her either.
"Now I've figured it out. As long as you are here, I can always be a carefree child."
"Mhm, then let's go to that dessert shop."
Loren also smiled slightly. She pointed to a dessert shop in the distance, which was Anna's favorite one.
"Okay."
Naclis interlocked her fingers with Loren's, and they walked into that shop.
They chose a seat by the window. They didn't order much food, as neither of them had a big appetite, and Loren really didn't like sweets. They just packed up quite a bit to take away.
Loren chatted idly with Naclis. He used a fork to scoop up a piece of cake and was just about to put it in his mouth when he sensed a gaze.
Anyone would have noticed it, because that person was pressed right against the window, staring fixedly at Loren's cake.
Moreover, as Loren moved the cake, her eyes would follow its movement.
