Chapter 311: A couple always need some alone time even after they have children
How many people had eaten their dinner on top of the bridge?
A lot, probably.
But how many people had eaten their dinner on top of the suspension of the bridge? Not many, I presumed. I sure hoped so, for everyone’s sake. But I was allowed, because I did it with a winged demon that kept his hands on me all the time. Totally safe.
We bought dinner from the street vendor so it felt like a festival, and flew to the place where I could enjoy everything. Sitting on top of the bridge, we stared at the urban landscape of the city with the palace behind us. Two sun towers were on our left and right, illuminating the lake with the glowing rune and golden crystal.
Along the bridge, lamps with smaller golden crystals containing the mana from the sunlight line up like runway lights. The same lamps, scattered across the city, looked like twinkling stars in a clear night sky.
"As I thought, it’s beautiful," I sighed while munching on my skewer. "Is this why the food tastes good even though it’s a bit bland?"
"It’s not bland," Natha argued.
"Yes, yes, it’s not bland--just a bit mild for my taste."
I couldn’t help but laugh at how defensive he was of the elf’s less stimulating flavors. It was truly right up his alley, which was rare. Of course, back home, the cooks always prepared his meals the way he wanted, but despite always making sure I ate well, he had quite a hard time in Gluttony.
"You must have liked the food here," I waved the skewer in front of his face, and he bit into it in response.
"I won’t refute that," he chuckled. "And how do you like today’s tour?"
