After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!-Chapter 134: Candlelight Dinner

After a short but pleasant walk, they reached their destination, a place that serves excellent food.

Rain pointed to the entrance, turning to Evelyn.

"This way. My treat."

"Oh..."

Only making a quiet sound, she glanced at the building in front of her and froze in place. Rain, however, took it in his own way.

"You've been here before? What a shame, I really wanted to show it to you."

He'd really expected to surprise her with this place, but it looked like the chance had been lost.

Evelyn quickly shook her head.

"No, no, it's just... do people of your status visit places like this?"

Rain took another look at the building in front of him.

'She has a point.'

In front of them was a shabby diner whose sign had long since faded and lost its colors, and whose entrance was devoid of any ornamentation or light. It was, without exaggeration, a typical place where commoners gathered and ate.

Compared to those restaurants nearby, bright, busy and eye-catching, this place was hard to even notice.

But despite that, he had no doubts about this place. After all, Celestia had pointed it out once, calling it 'the best place in town, aside from our estate'. Rain trusted her, not to say that a food lover like his Aunt couldn't say that for nothing.

So he stepped into it without hesitation, leading Evelyn behind him.

"Come on. Despite appearances this is a great place."

"Oh, so you really do eat at places like this..."

"Not me. But one person dear to me, yes."

Hearing those words, Evelyn wanted to ask who that person was, but she tactfully remained silent, suppressing her curiosity.

'Knowing too much about the lives of nobles can be life-threatening.'

Saying this to herself, she followed him with a smile.

Perhaps because of the diner's unremarkable appearance and the late hour, there weren't many people here. Apart from a couple of gawkers and the staff, they were alone.

As it turned out, this place didn't even have a regular menu, so all orders were only placed out loud.

Ordering two of the best dishes, the names of which were also kindly provided by Celestia, they chose a better table by the window and sat down at it.

The place was hardly notable apart from the food, so while waiting for their order they just sat and chatted about the 'unusual' interior of the place.

Finally, the waiter arrived with hot dishes, serving them gracefully in front of them. And he turned out to be quite good for the place. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Before leaving, the waiter sensed the atmosphere and lit candles, adding that missing romance to the dinner.

'I should give him a tip.'

Thanks to him, it was now a real candlelit dinner, warming the air between Evelyn and me.

"I hope you both enjoy the rest of this beautiful night together."

As if reading Rain's thoughts, the waiter bowed and respectfully departed, not forgetting to show a 'knowing smile'.

Evelyn was embarrassed and wanted to correct him, but he had already left, and the sight of the appetizing dishes in front of her prevented her from getting up from her seat. Thus began our romantic candlelight dinner.

At first the first plate, then the second, the third... gradually, all the dishes disappeared from Evelyn's side.

Women definitely like to eat.

I usually ate women, so watching a woman eat was something new to me. But it wasn't a bad view.

Pondering what part of her body all that food would go into and whether her breasts and thighs could get any bigger, I ate my portion.

Tender rabbit stuffed with fruits and vegetables. Not overcooked, with the perfect amount of spices and salt, each part could only be described as a 'masterpiece' of culinary artistry.

From time to time with the words 'Here', 'Try this', 'This is a particularly tasty part' Evelyn would share the food from her plate with me, so in that time I had time to try everything she had. The quality of these dishes was top notch too.

"It's delightful."

After finishing the fifth serving, Evelyn expressed her opinion. And knowing that she had eaten so much despite her embarrassment at the amount of food that fit inside her, she really had to like it.

"I can't believe there's still a good place in Haerin that I don't know about. Thank you, Rain."

Evelyn smiled brightly, feeling genuinely grateful.

Did I mention that? Her radiant smile could conquer nations.

"Yeah, that was pretty good, Evelyn. I still prefer your home-cooked food though."

"Oh my oh my, those sweet words again. Say it again and I'll get diabetes~"

Evelyn covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

In the end, coming here turned out to be the right decision. Although the setting was shabby, neither Evelyn nor I cared, allowing us to enjoy it to the fullest.

'I knew I could trust Celestia and her tongue when it came to food. And nighttime pleasures, too…'

While Rain was praising his Auntie in his head, Evelyn continued.

"In exchange, I'll show you something really special."

"Okay, that's a promise."

They chatted for a while longer, savoring this moment, until...

"Pffhahaha..."

Rain suddenly laughed, barely covering his mouth with his hand.

"What? Did you see something funny?"

Evelyn whirled her head around, looking for the reason for his laughter, but found nothing.

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Despite his answer, he couldn't stop laughing, and the corners of his lips crept upward uncontrollably.

With great difficulty suppressing it, Rain casually glanced outside the window. And then he laughed again.

'Grey. That little brat is spying on us.'

Rain only now noticed a suspicious man at a table in the restaurant across the street pretending to read the menu while hiding his face behind it and watching them closely.

Without a doubt, it was Gray, the noble Hero and the light of this world.

'No, first of all, how does he even read the menu when it's upside down?'

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed strange even to him.

'Though perhaps that was one of Gray's unknown talents to me. There's a reason they say you should never underestimate talented people.'

'But still, following us so brazenly... Wasn't he taught that when parents are having fun in private, you should just close the door and go to bed?'

Rain felt that he had a lot of parenting work ahead of him. The next moment, however, a more important question came to him.

How long has Gray been following us?

And the answer came just as quickly.

'...From the beginning.'

Pretending to lock himself in his room and fall asleep, he actually followed them, not wanting to let his mother go alone.

Rain had to commend Gray for his vigilance. Unfortunately... it was in vain.

It was like trying to put out a burning forest by spitting your saliva. You could try, but all you'd get was dehydration, loss, and burns all over your body.

...However, since he's here, why not take advantage of it?

A sinful smile spread across Rain's lips.

They say a good show can't do without a decent audience, don't they?

"Evelyn, can you move closer? I think I saw a cockroach at your side."

Looks like it's time to show Gray what happens to kids that carelessly peek at their parents' private lives.
