As soon as my eyes met Ais's, it was the first time I had felt embarrassed since arriving in this world. For some reason, I felt awkward about the situation. However, I didn't look away.
Ais stared at me for a few seconds and asked, "What are you doing here?" Although her face was slightly red, she didn't try to hide her body and continued looking directly at me.
"I'm sorry about this. I asked my skill to teleport me to you, but I didn't know you were taking a bath. I'll leave right away."
I walked toward the door. However, Ais suddenly grabbed my hand.
"Wait a moment. First, I want to ask you something."
Feeling a little nervous, I replied, "What is it?"
"Did you like what you saw?"
I was shocked by her question. I smiled and turned back toward her. Looking into her eyes, I answered, "Of course I did. Your body is beautiful."
Hearing my answer, Ais gave me a cute smile and let go of my hand.
"I'm glad to hear that."
She deliberately showed off her body even more.
A slim waist, medium-sized breasts, thick thighs... a practically perfect body.
Her proportions were magnificent.
Pretending not to notice that her pink nipples were slightly hardened, I left the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I saw Ais's bed and walked over to it. Then I sat down and waited for her.
A few minutes later, Ais came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.
She saw me sitting on her bed and smiled.
"I'm going to get dressed now."
"Do you want me to leave?" I asked.
Ais immediately replied, "I don't mind if you watch."
Then she let the towel fall and started getting dressed right in front of me. I had to exercise tremendous self-control to keep myself from getting hard.
It was extremely difficult.
'Damn this quest for forcing me to hold back. I hate you, System.'

Ais finished getting dressed, and we were ready to leave. I approached her and took her hand. Before teleporting us, I asked,
"Where do you want to go today? Do you have anywhere in mind?"
Hearing my question, Ais simply said,
"I'll go wherever you want to go."
Her answer left me slightly troubled because I didn't know many places in this city. I knew the Hostess of Fertility and a few bars.
"So far, I've only eaten at the Hostess of Fertility and a few bars I found around the city."
"I've been to the Hostess of Fertility many times before, so I don't really feel like going there. I need somewhere different."
"Alright, I'll take you to a bar. It's an isolated place, and the food there is really good."
I briefly considered playing a prank on Ais and teleporting us to a bar in the entertainment district, but I abandoned the idea.
In the blink of an eye, we appeared in an alley far away from the Loki Familia's home.
Ais looked around and said,
"Your skill is amazing."
"I've heard that many times before."
She had probably said something similar to me in the past.
Ais looked around and then noticed the only establishment open in the alley. A small door with an illuminated sign that simply read "Bar."
I had found this place by accident, and the food really was very good.
Although I'd only come here once.
Maybe I had just been lucky enough to eat something exceptional that day and the food wasn't actually that great. Let's find out.
Holding Ais's hand, I walked toward the bar.
Inside, I could only sense the presence of one person. It was probably the same old man I had met before. His presence felt weak, as though he were close to fading away.
'Is he sick or something?'
We entered the bar, and the old man looked at both of us.
Wrinkled face, drooping eyes, and a somewhat fragile appearance.
His eyes widened because he recognized both of us.
"My goodness, it really is Ais. Ais from the Loki Familia."
He spoke in shock.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Ais said, smiling at the old man.
"And you're the famous author everyone keeps talking about around the city. I told some of my customers that you'd been here before, but they didn't believe me! Hahaha!"
The old man laughed cheerfully.
"I'm back, old man. I brought Ais here to try your food."
"I'm honored that you enjoyed my food enough to recommend it to someone like Miss Ais."
He lowered his head.
Then he placed the menu on the counter and glanced at our hands.
"Could it be that you two are..."
Before he could finish, Ais said,
"We're somewhat close. That's all."
The old man got the message and replied,
"I see, hahaha. Go ahead and choose what you'd like to eat. Would you like something to drink while you wait?"
"I'll have a red berry cocktail. What about you, Ais?"
"Ah, I'll have the same."

POV: Ais
When I entered the bar and that old man saw me with Luan, I seriously considered letting go of his hand, but I didn't.
I don't want to hide our close relationship, and even if I did, I'm sure this man would keep it a secret.
I sat down with Luan, and our drinks arrived.
As I drank and waited for our food, Luan continued talking to me about random things.
However, I couldn't pay much attention to the conversation. What had happened in the bathroom and bedroom was still on my mind.
'Should I have been bolder? If I had moved toward him at that moment, would Luan have pulled me into his arms and thrown me onto the bed?'
"Ais?"
"Huh? Yes?"
"Are you alright?"
Hearing Luan's question, I remained silent for a few seconds before smiling and answering,
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about unnecessary things."
After I replied, our food finally arrived.
Pasta and plenty of meat.
It smelled wonderful.
As we ate, the old man started chatting with us since we were the only customers there.
He was quite friendly.
When we finished eating, I drank the rest of my drink and asked Luan, whispering into his ear,
"Do you want to go somewhere else?"
