"Wise, you've arrived... Where do you want to go today? I'll follow you wherever you go."
Caesar seemed somewhat awkward upon seeing him.
Wise sensed her hesitation and smiled gently.
"I get to decide? I don't mind, but don't you have anywhere you'd like to go?"
"Ah... It's just that... I don't really know the city that well..." Caesar admitted, scratching the back of her head.
Wise made a mental note to invite her to the Outer Ring next time, where she was far more at home.
"Before we go, Caesar, I have to admit I'm surprised you invited me out. Does this mean you've accepted that arrangement?"
Wise got straight to the point. He wanted to know how she truly felt.
"Well... I was a bit reluctant at first, but after talking with Lucy, I decided to seize the opportunity and make my move... because I do like you, Wise, even if you already have others..."
Hearing her confession, Wise smiled and gently took her hand in his.
"I like you too, Caesar. So... let's get along from now on. I swear I'll never make you sad."
Caesar's face immediately flushed crimson, and all she could do was give him a shy nod.
Still holding her hand, Wise led her through Lumina Square as they strolled side by side like an ordinary couple enjoying a peaceful date.
However, not far behind them, two figures suddenly peeked out from around a corner, one wearing a helmet and the other a pair of sunglasses.
"Lucy, why are we following them? Wouldn't it be better to join them?" Burnice asked curiously.
"Hmph, what do you know? The ideal number for a date is two people. If we join them, there won't be any atmosphere!"
Lucy lectured Burnice, though in truth, she wasn't happy either. Watching the man she liked go on a date with someone else wasn't exactly easy.
As for why she was still doing this...
It was naturally because, compared to anyone else, she would rather have one of her own people by Wise's side.
Lucy had chosen to support Caesar because, after meeting Yanagi and Jane, she had come to realize her own shortcomings.
Piper's situation was too similar to hers, so she wasn't a suitable choice. As for Burnice... there was no need to mention her.
Her personality spoke for itself.
"In short, Burnice, you're not allowed to say anything stupid again. Otherwise, no matter how much you beg me, I won't let you participate in this plan anymore."
Lucy warned her sternly.
Burnice simply grinned and nodded, leaving Lucy feeling both annoyed and helpless.
Meanwhile, Wise led Caesar to a luxurious storefront. The elegant décor immediately caught her attention, filling her with curiosity.
"A beauty salon... It doesn't feel like a place that suits me at all. Looking at the customers here, I always feel like they're from a completely different world."
"Is that really what you think, Caesar?"
"Yeah. I mean, fighting is the only thing I'm really good at... and I'm so tall..." Caesar said, glancing at the women inside the salon as they enjoyed their beauty treatments.
"Really? Because I think you're far more like a beautiful princess than any of them."
"W-What? You really think so?"
Hearing Wise's words, Caesar's cheeks grew even redder.
[Ding! Target Caesar: has increased her favorability toward the host by 1. Her current favorability is now 91. Additionally, 500 Emotional Value has been obtained.]
[Current Emotional Value: 37000]
However, before she could enjoy the compliment for long, she suddenly thought of something. Though still blushing, she looked at him with a hint of uncertainty.
"Wait, Wise... you don't say things like that to everyone else, do you?"
"Of course not. I've only ever said that to you, and I meant every word."
And it was true. In Wise's mind, every girl deserved a unique compliment, one that belonged only to her and would never be repeated.
"Ugh... you're really too much."
Caesar looked as shy as a young girl. The mighty Overlord, who stood unrivaled in the Outer Ring, was acting like this in front of him.
'Where is this strange sense of accomplishment coming from?'
The thought crossed Wise's mind as he gently patted Caesar's head.
The intimate gesture immediately made Lucy, who had been secretly watching from behind, grit her teeth.
She silently repeated to herself, 'Don't get angry... don't get angry... This was my decision. It's all for the future!'
Beside her, Burnice couldn't help but think, 'Lucy seems really angry right now. If Caesar and Wise get any closer, she might actually lose it and rush over.'
Meanwhile, the pair ahead had already started walking again, forcing Lucy and Burnice to quickly follow after them.
A short while later, as they passed a newsstand, Caesar suddenly noticed something that made her eyes sparkle. Then, remembering Wise was beside her, she looked a little embarrassed.
"Wise... um... there's something I'd like to buy. Can you wait here for a moment?"
"Of course. What are you buying? A new manga?"
"Eh? You guessed it right away."
She scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"Well... since you already know... You won't tell Lucy and the others, right? I can trust you?"
Caesar still cared about maintaining her image in front of her companions. After all, an Overlord who loved reading shoujo manga was admittedly a little embarrassing.
"Oh, right! Why don't we read them together? Then we'll be accomplices."
She looked at Wise hopefully.
Naturally, he agreed. Although some of the manga she bought had been adapted from his novels, he didn't mind in the slightest.
Unfortunately for Caesar, however, her little secret had already been completely exposed.
"Oh! Caesar really likes reading this kind of manga!"
Burnice shouted excitedly before Lucy immediately covered her mouth.
"Idiot! Keep your voice down! This isn't something to announce to the whole street!"
Although she said that, the amused smile tugging at Lucy's lips betrayed what she was really thinking.
After buying several manga volumes, Caesar and Wise continued to the second stop on their date: the HIA Club.
For someone who loved fighting, it was the perfect place. More importantly, Caesar had never experienced virtual combat before.
"Virtual combat? That sounds amazing! Can I try it right now?"
"Of course."
Seeing her excitement, Wise led her inside.
Drawing on her wealth of combat experience, Caesar effortlessly cleared every stage on her first attempt.
Before long, a crowd of players had gathered around the large display to watch her fight.
When the match finally ended, Caesar was immediately surrounded by other players eager to learn her strategies after witnessing her overwhelming display of skill.
