Chapter 194
Clael and Reina walked arm in arm through the crowd, going around the food stalls.
Nurous booths and stalls lined the main street. Among them were a few that seed to have co from foreign countries.
"Ah, Clael-sama! There's a rare sweet over here!"
"You're right. That might be... ma-maritozzo?"
They discovered a sweet that looked sowhat familiar, and yet not.
A female vendor at the stall smiled and spoke to them.
"Welco. Are you two siblings?"
"Do we look like that?"
Reina gently rested her head on Clael's shoulder.
The woman gave a wry smile at the kind of affectionate gesture not often seen even between siblings.
"Ah, so you're a couple then. If you'd like, why not try so?"
"No, we're not a couple..."
"We'll take two, please—"
Before Clael could explain, Reina flashed a peace sign.
The female vendor smiled and handed them two maritozzi wrapped in paper.
"Here you go, be careful not to drop them."
"Thank you very much."
"Thanks..."
"She's such a cute girlfriend. Make sure you treat her right."
"............Yes."
Feeling sowhat unsatisfied, Clael took the maritozzo.
It was knowledge from his previous life... but maritozzo is a traditional dessert originating in Italy.
In Japan, it was common for them to be filled with fresh cream, and sotis fruits like strawberries were added.
Around the ti Clael was about to die, they had beco very popular... but he had never actually bought or eaten one.
"Ah, it's sweet and delicious."
"I see... the fresh cream has cheese mixed into it."
Clael and Reina, while being mindful of the people around them, walked and ate the sweets they had just bought.
The cheese-flavored fresh cream was packed with sugar and, despite its strong taste, was delicious.
It was a flavor that would hold up even in Tokyo of his previous life.
"This is a foreign sweet, right?"
"From Italy... or rather, from so other country. You don't see it in this country."
"If a shop opened in this town, we could eat it again... It's a bit of a sha."
"Shall we co back for more? The martial arts tournant hasn't even started yet."
It seed to be a foreign stall, but it probably wouldn't close until the tournant was over.
There should still be a chance to eat it again.
"Sweet things are nice, but I want sothing a bit more filling."
"Ah, they're selling at. What's that thing spinning around over there?"
"...That's kebab, probably."
That too seed to be a stall that ca from abroad.
A dark-skinned male vendor shaved the rotating at with a knife and sold it sandwiched in bread with vegetables.
It was a traditional Turkish dish... kebab.
"Hey, you two good-looking lovebirds! Wanna try our food?"
"We'll buy so."
Reina answered imdiately.
She must have been interested in the rare foreign cuisine.
The dark-skinned shopkeeper grinned widely, put the at and vegetables into bread, added sauce, and handed it over.
"Here ya go! Enjoy your date while you can!"
"Thank you."
"......Thanks."
Clael and Reina sat on an empty bench and started eating the kebab.
"It's spicy... but delicious!"
"Very spicy... Is this lamb at?"
Was it heavily seasoned to mask the gaminess of the lamb?
It was quite unique, but it suited Clael's palate. Reina also ate with a delighted 'huff huff'.
"How should I put it... it's a strange sight. Really."
While eating the kebab, Clael turned his gaze toward the main street.
The city was bustling with people. So had co from the royal capital or other towns, and others seed to be from foreign countries.
There were people who looked like Black or Asian ethnicities, and so wore traditional ethnic clothing.
"Being here like this... does it remind you of the past?"
"The past? You an your student days, Clael-sama?"
"......Sothing like that."
He had actually ant Japan... but that had been a slip of the tongue.
Since Reina didn't seem particularly suspicious, he just went along with it.
"Back in my student days, I used to go around food stalls and booths with my friends. It brings back mories."
"Ah, I see... I wish I could've t you during your student days, Clael-sama."
"Unless there's a ti machine... or so way to travel through ti, that would be impossible."
"Ti travel..."
Reina tilted her head with a thoughtful 'hmm'.
"If it involves passing through heaven, it's not entirely impossible to travel to the past. But it consus a lot of power, and even if I used all my magic, I could only go back a year or two... If it were possible, I'd love to dote on little Clael-sama..."
"Reina?"
"Ah, no. It's nothing."
It felt like she had said sothing dangerous... but Reina imdiately gave a pure smile like a white lily.
A girl who could smile so transparently like that couldn't possibly be plotting anything evil.
It was probably just Clael's imagination.
"They're doing street performances over there... Shall we go watch?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Then let's go."
Taking Reina's smiling hand, Clael headed toward the plaza.
