"That...... What's wrong......

Seeing Leah's quirky look, Saif was a little nervous.

"This red soup...... It's so spicy!!"

Almost crying, Leah said. The strong spiciness stimulates the taste buds and makes the little tongue feel as if it is on fire.

"Uh!? water !! wrong...... Milk!!I'll go get milk!!"

Although the little Lori blushed and looked very cute with tears in her eyes, Saif couldn't appreciate it. Luckily, the hotel provides fresh milk, which is more spicy than water.

"Gollum...... Grunt...... Grunt...... Whew......"

Holding the cup and gulping milk, finally, little Lori breathed a long sigh of relief, she put down the cup, and after running a thousand meters, she seemed to gasp and said:

"It's spicy, it's really spicy...... This red soup curry ......"

Although poor Saif was full of hope to invite Leah to taste Galoy's famous snacks, he forgot that people's tastes are different according to different regions, for example, Randall's food is more sweet and elegant. And in Galoa, salty and spicy are the favorites of the entire desert people

There is no other reason for this - the dragon pepper, which can only thrive by fertilizing the red dragon dung as fertilizer, has long been a specialty of Galois, especially in Mage City. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the dragon Barbara Fen lives in Mage City.

In any case, the local people have long been accustomed to this seasoning that is excellent in terms of spiciness and aroma. The daily life of many Galo Chinese is spicy and unhappy, and the spicier the dragon pepper, the more addictive it is.

But the little Lori from Randall is different, even if Lea is not spicy on Earth. But since arriving in Evite, she hasn't encountered too strong spicy flavors in three years, after all, Randall's cuisine rarely uses chili peppers as a main seasoning.

"That...... Leah...... Are you alright......?"

Saif asked cautiously, realizing that something was wrong.

"Woo......"

Because the tip of her tongue still had a hot burning sensation, Leah had to take another sip of milk and put it in her mouth to moisten her poor tongue. She didn't speak, just raised her head and looked at each other with a pitiful and angry look.

"I'm sorry! I didn't expect it to be like this......"

Facing the little Lori who is full of grievances. Saif decisively folded his hands and bowed his head in apology.

After another period of time......

"No, Saf. Even if you invite a girl to dinner, you still have to pay attention to these basic things. Otherwise, it will be considered inconsiderate. ”

Leah, who was finally able to speak well, shook her fingers and said.

"That...... Actually, I thought about it, but the red soup curry is not very spicy...... I mean...... You see, it's pretty ordinary in Galoy. ”

"But I'm a true Randall. You see, Saf. This dish can definitely win the spicy contest anywhere in Randall. ”

"Uh...... Anyway, I'm sorry. ”

Saif apologized. Little Lori simply forgave him, and as for the red soup curry, Leah thought she was not blessed to enjoy it.

Fortunately, Saif ordered a thin-skinned honey praline crisp called baccarava, served with cactus and yogurt, and a slightly spicy main dish - barbecue with hummus, which finally made Lori understand that the chef here really lives up to his reputation.

"The food here is really delicious. ”

Meal. Little Lori said approvingly.

"It's great that you can like it. ”

Seeing that the food operation was declared a success, Saif breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes. I love it, thank you, Saf. ”

And then Leah's thanks made him fall in love with the chef here.

"So...... Would you like to go for a walk in the park with me?"

The boy was very decisive in hitting the snake with the pole, and decided to take the little Lori to the park to play.

"Well, it's not impossible. But before that, if you'll forgive me for being rude, I'd like to ask a question, Saf. ”

"Of course, please. ”

"Why did Saif choose me? I mean, there are so many beautiful native girls in Mage City, and there are wonderful princesses like Isabella by my side. ”

Leah is not a simple girl, she does not have the shyness and passivity of love. Rather than waiting to be confessed by Sajf, Leah prefers to poke open the cellophane herself.

"Hey...... This ......"

Faced with a sudden straight ball, Saif was unprepared and confused.

"That's because...... I love your delicate and cuteness.

You know, Leah, when I first met you, when you stood on tiptoe and desperately reached for a book, I thought you were a girl like no other. You don't hide your natural loveliness and delicate manners and nobility like other noble ladies or princesses.

You are more innocent, lively, and cheerful, but you are so weak that you want people to take care of you.

Please forgive me for my machismo, but the lover in my heart is a delicate, cute, innocent girl like you who needs to be cared for and loved by men.

So promise me, be my lover, Leah? ”

The girls have already given the opportunity to confess, and if Saif doesn't catch it well, it will be too much to say. So he said all the love for Leah in his heart in one breath.

"Really...... Now, let's go to the park, Saf. ”

After listening to the other party's words, Xiao Lori's expression could not see joy or sadness, she did not give a direct reply, but only agreed to the other party's invitation to go to the park.

However, along the way, little Lori didn't take the initiative to say a word, and the atmosphere between the two was a little dull, so they came to a secluded tree-lined path.

Leah suddenly walked forward quickly, then turned around, looked at the young man behind her, and said:

"It's my honor to be able to get your favor, Sajf. But, I think you must have misunderstood something.

Because I'm not as weak as you think. Indeed, I will not be pretentious like other nobles, but I am also not a canary in a golden cage, and I need the care of my master to cry tactfully.

Saf, I, am a strong girl, stronger than you think.

I don't want a lover to protect me, because I will stand by his side and face the wind and rain with him, and even if he falls in the wind and rain, I will carry him through.

I don't want others to give me happiness, because I am a free bird, as long as I spread my wings and fly, I can find the sky of happiness by myself.

So, Saif I'm sorry, I can't promise you. Because the real me is not the 'she' you think I am. ”

Looking into the other party's eyes, Leah said with great seriousness although her face was apologetic.
