I Reincarnated as the Villain in an E*oge.....

Chapter 37

I could feel my body being shaken. As I gradually woke up, I heard a voice too.

"Zagan... wake up. Please. Open your eyes."

It was Luca's voice. He sounded like he was at his wit's end, but why? Was it already past noon?

Though I was still a bit sleepy, I opened my eyes to see Luca peering at me. When our eyes met, he exhaled, looking relieved.

"Thank god, you woke up."

"Luca...? Good morning."

"Yeah, good morning. It's a bit early though. Sorry for waking you up; I got scared thinking you won't open your eyes again."

Patting Luca's head as he hugged me, I glanced at the clock. It was only 6 a.m, huh? Well it was a bit early, but there's no problem with waking up at such an hour.

"It's okay. I've been asleep all this time so it's actually better for me to wake up a little early and move around. More importantly, Luca, did you get any sleep?"

"Yeah... I slept. Don't worry."

Was that the truth? I could see that he looked tired and feel that his magic power was in disarray. Wasn't he overdoing it?

I stopped myself from pointing that out though, because today was the 9th and the day after tomorrow he'll be entering the dungeon. But, since he still had some time to relax, it would be nice if Luca were to take a rest if he was sleepy or felt bad.

After slowly taking our time rubbing our bodies together and kissing, we got up and started getting ready for the morning. Today I won't be wearing pajamas, but actual clothes. Saying that, I only have 4 sets of clothes. When I let Luca choose, he picked the same cat-ear parka I wore last time. Well, all of my outfits were basically black hoods so if he wanted to pick something a little bit special, the cat-ear parka was his only choice.

"I wonder if I should get some more casual clothes? It feels unnecessary though, considering I won't be wearing them for long."

"We're going to go on a lot of dates together from now on. It would make me happy if you got all dressed up for me."

"I see... That, now that we've become proper lovers, we're going to go on lots of dates?"

When it comes to armour, there were plenty of cool-looking designs. Casual clothes though were the safest bet for a proper date. You could look dangerous when you were equipped with armour and there were some stores you couldn't enter... However, since I was together with the prince, they let us into most places so I didn't really worry about it.

More importantly, I felt a tiny bit embarrassed about calling us lovers, so I lowered my gaze to the ground. As I did so, my flushed cheeks were kissed. I glanced up at Luca and he laughed happily.

"Shall we go buy you some clothes today? It could be good rehabilitation if we take it easy. Then, in the afternoon, let's go to the adventurer's guild and see if there are any good G rank requests we can take."

I nodded. It's been a long time since I got to play with animals. I was really looking forward to it.

When we told Bennett, who was already awake, that we planned to have lunch outside, she suggested we eat at the town square since the autumn leaves were pretty at this time of year, and she ended up making us some bentos. There were still some foods I couldn't digest that well so going to a proper restaurant was out of the question, which was why I gratefully accepted the proposal.

Luca helped out with the cooking while I sat there and watched them. When I had tried to help out, I was told that someone who was still unwell wasn't allowed to do any work, and was kicked out of the kitchen.
