Chapter 49 - [3.3] Dating With Laras Part 3

Steven and Laras go to Rosella Restaurant, which is a popular place among young men and women after the tragedy.

It has sweets and most importantly and what makes this place popular is that there are many kinds of tea on the menu, of course the price is cheap which makes this place popular among teenagers.

"Mel, how far is it from here to the restaurant?" said Radit.

"Hm...I think it's 5 kilometers or maybe less," Amelia said.

"It's not too far to walk," said Radit.

"This is close, Dit," said Gilbert.

"No need to complain, let's just relax while traveling too," Amelia said.

"They're really quiet, just like angry people," Amelia said.

On the other hand, Steven and Laras are shyly walking together.

"La-Laras, is it far?" said Steven.

"No, it's only about 3 kilometers away," said Laras.

"Uh, 3 kilos?" said Steven, a little surprised.

"Yes, 3 more kilometers. It's so far, we should have just taken a ride," Laras said a little guiltily.

"Well, for a homebody like me, just walking 1 kilometer is a long way," said Steven.

"Ah sorry, then we'll just find public transportation," said Laras feeling guilty.

"Ah no, no, no problem, you're not wrong. But it's not too bad, a long walk once in a while while looking around is good too. So please don't feel guilty," Steven said so Laras wouldn't feel guilty about telling him to walk.

Laras smiled and said, "Steven is a good person," she said quietly.

"Uh what, what about me?" said Steven, not really listening.

Laras chuckled and said, "You are a strange person," she said with a smile.

"Eeeeh? How weird?" Steven asked.

"You're a homeboy, you must rarely exercise, but when you were sparring at Leo's place, you didn't seem to get tired," said Laras.

Amelia, who heard the conversation, was also curious.

"Isn't that right? She walked this distance and looked tired, but during the sparring she didn't look tired," Amelia said.

"That's right, I'm curious," said Gilbert.

"Oh if it's that, Steven is just lazy to move. Originally, he was quite diligent in exercising at home, especially since the game also has virtual reality which requires movement. So he doesn't stay still at home but moves quite a lot. Besides, he often fights with Leo, so without realizing it, he continues to exercise even though he doesn't participate in sports activities," Radit explained. Amelia and Gilbert who heard that were a little surprised by the truth.

Steven also explains why he is strong enough to spar despite his lack of movement.

"Well how to explain it, you know I like to play games right?" said Steven.

"Yeah, I know, you play games everywhere when you can," Laras said.

"Well, what you see are portable games, but at home I play games that move a lot," said Steven.

"Moving a lot? Oh, you mean virtual games?" said Laras.

"Yeah, right! So I play all games on any console but I'm mostly on the latest generation of virtual reality consoles," said Steven.

"Oh, I know, games that are played in a special room. So you can run and move freely without the fear of hitting a wall, right?" said Laras.

"Yes, that's right. You know enough," Steven said, a little surprised.

"Yes, I tried it once at my friend's house. But isn't it quite expensive for a schoolgirl? My friend can afford it because her parents are rich," said Laras.

"Well, I love technology, so when it comes to coding and other technology-related things, I sell my services. That's where I made my money, starting in junior high school if I'm not mistaken," said Steven.

"Oh, that's great, you've been making money since junior high school. I was just playing and studying at the time," said Laras, who was amazed by Steven.

"Well...I work like that for a reason too, like now I have everything I like so making money is not a priority anymore," Steven said.

"Hm...you are so simple, if I give you a game I think you will be very happy," said Laras.

"You're going to give me a game? I'm looking forward to that gift from you!" said Steven looking happy and accidentally holding both of Laras' hands.

"O-ohmm.....ka-then I'll give you a game," said Laras, who was surprised and embarrassed when Steven suddenly held both her hands.

Steven, who was too happy after a while, realized that he was holding both of Laras' hands and he immediately let go.

"I'm sorry I held your hand," Steven said a little embarrassed.

"Yes, it's okay, as long as you're happy. It's okay to hold you," said Laras with a red face.

From a distance, peepers saw and heard them.

"It's good to see your friends in love," said Amelia.

"That's right, they look innocent," says Gilbert.

Continue to follow them across a pedestrian bridge.

"Look, they're crossing the road," Radit said, pointing out the lovebirds.

"Ah, let's get to the restaurant," said Gilbert.

On the other hand, who is in love.

"Look at the restaurant," said Laras.

"Oh, have we arrived yet? It doesn't feel that fast," said Steven.

Then they both walked to the front door of the restaurant and went inside.

"Oh... if you look at it directly, it's quite fresh, and this classic decoration, it's not bad... it's nice to look at," said Steven.

"Do you like it?" said Laras curiously.

"Yep, it's a good place," Steven said.

"Then let's find a seat," Laras said with a smile.

"Ah yes...let's find a good seat," Steven said.

Steven and Laras managed to find good seats while Amelia, Gilbert and Radit were in a position where Laras wouldn't be seen but could clearly see them both.

Laras was so excited to be dating Steven that day that she didn't even realize it.

The five of them spent over three hours there, and they also had lunch there.

Time passed and they continued to talk about everything until they lost track of time and it was already 3pm.

"It's getting late, let's go back to the inn," Steven said, looking out of the restaurant.

"Ah right, it doesn't feel like it's already afternoon. Chatting with you is so fun that I forget about time," Laras said with a smile.

"Glad to hear that," Steven said back with a smile.

"Then let's go to the cashier," said Laras.

'Ah...I'll treat you, it'll look cool,' Steven thought.

"Let's go to the cashier," Steven said. Then they both went to the cashier. When Laras was about to pay first, Steven went ahead of her.

"Laras, let me treat you," Steven said.

"Eh, seriously, no, I'll pay for mine too," said Laras reluctantly.

"It's okay, take it easy. Think of it as an expression of gratitude for taking a homeboy for a walk," Steven said with a smile.

".... is fine if you insist," said Laras, shyly.

After Steven and Laras paid their bill at the cashier, they left immediately. Then, it was the peepers' turn to pay.

"Let's hurry, they'll get further away," said Gilbert. The three of them hurriedly paid and followed Steven and Laras.

"Well, I love technology, so when it comes to coding and other technology-related things, I sell my services. That's where I made my money, starting in junior high school if I'm not mistaken," said Steven.

"Let's hurry, they'll get further away," said Gilbert. The three of them hurriedly paid and followed Steven and Laras.

After they came out, it turned out that Steven and Laras were getting on the bus to go home. Amelia, Gilbert and Radit ran towards the bus, but couldn't make it. The bus had already gone ahead.

"Damn, we missed it," Amelia said.

"Radit, check the next bus schedule on the screen," Gilbert said.

Radit nodded and quickly checked the bus schedule screen. "How many minutes until the next bus arrives?" said Gilbert.

"In about seven minutes," said Radit. "Ah...that's a long time," said Gilbert.

"It's because of you, Gilbert," said an annoyed Amelia.

"How come it's my fault?" said Gilbert, annoyed that he was being blamed.

"After all, you didn't bring any money, and the digital money is also empty," said an annoyed Amelia.

"Well, I don't really like keeping a lot of money in digital wallets," Gilbert said.

"It's 2100 and there are still primitive-minded people like you," Amelia said.

"Radit, how's the listening device?" said Amelia.

"This tool can only be heard less than 200 meters away," said Radit.

"Halah, you two are useless," said Amelia, annoyed at losing Steven and Laras' location.

After about 7 minutes, the next bus arrived at the stop and the three of them boarded the bus and headed to the inn.
