She was sitting in the same spot, eyes still staring at my face. Just how I left her. Even the emotions she had was the same.
How do you do that!? Don't you get bored waiting for three whole hours? I would! Was my face funny? Gles doesn't seem to have an expression of seeing something funny.
Or she was used to waiting? Poor girl, she needs to experience more of the joys of life. 'I know!' I hammered my fist on my other palm.
'I should ask Klee to take her shopping.' Of course, I was shouldering the bill. With my money, it wouldn't matter if they bought a house and a car.
But what girl would go shopping for houses and cars? Only guys would do that. If you're a mighty rich dude you could shop for a luxury car once a month.

'Why do I get lost in my thoughts so easily?' I sighed.
"Let's go home. Then we'll meet up in the afternoon. I'll give you a surprise." I really need a shower and a ton of food.
"D-Don't you think it's too early for that. W-We're not... not even g-going o-out yet." She was stuttering and her face blushed.
"Why would we need to go out? It's just a gift. You weren't thinking I was proposing were you?"
"A-Ah!" Her face reddened some more.
'What!? You did!?'

"Mom! I'm home!" I went straight to the kitchen as soon as I got home.
Mom was making food and by the looks of it, we're having Storm Fowl. It's an iron rank bird of the wind element. We don't have those here. It was probably from other cities.
"Ah, mom. I came at the perfect time." I walked up to the counter. "Can you make more food this time? Also, have you seen Klee?"
"Probably in room. Are you bringing someone over?"
"No, just my appetite, it increased. That 20 pound bird might not be enough. Coupled with how good your cooking is. I'd have to hold myself back from licking the plate."
"Oh? You flatter me. Since when have you been such a sweet-talker?"
"Maybe it's from dad's genes?"
"Your dad barely even talks to women. I had to chase him for five years before he said yes."
"Huh. First time I heard about your love story. Then, I'll be talking to Klee. Can't wait for that lunch." I waved lightly as I stepped towards Klee's room.

Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Klee. You there?" I called out through the door.
A few seconds and the door opens slightly, just enough for Klee to fit her head through "Yeah? Need something?"
I couldn't help but want to tease her every time I see her cute face. "Yes. You." I cupped her chin in my fingers and whispered slowly like the dramas. "I need you."
She blushed hard and pulled her face back abruptly, slamming the door shut.
"Stupid Solon! I hate you!" I heard her flustered voice through the door.
I grinned at my mischievousnes. "I'll have to ask her later, " I whispered to myself.
I entered my room and sat on my study. It was time to upgrade fluffy whip.
Bringing out my grimoire, I flipped to the storage.
Taking out Fluffier Whip and Dragon's Tail, I laid them both on the table.
"Use card [DRAGON'S TAIL], target: [FLUFFIER WHIP]."
The consumable card vanished and light wrapped around the weapon card. Three gold coins appear floating on air.
"Flip the coins." The coins began to spin and flipped high into the air before falling on the desk. The result was three tails.
The card absorbed the light and gradually changed in color. From black to silver.
