Chapter 263: It’s a Date (Viola Edition)

Having once again been reminded of his own position, Rest was now enjoying a short break in the royal capital.

As for the development of the Sabnock Plains, there was no longer anything that required Rest’s direct involvement.

The subjugation of the Corrosion Beasts had already been completed, and even the Elder Wyrm had been defeated.

There were still some monsters left, but the nobles and adventurers participating in the pioneer group would be able to handle them well enough.

In fact… there were more than a few people who didn’t want Rest to achieve any further success.

Having piled up achievements and rocketed up the ranks, Rest had attracted plenty of jealousy. If not for the protection of the Rosemary Marquis family and the backing of the royal family, there would likely have been nobles actively trying to get rid of him.

From here on, Rest would begin building a town on the land he’d been granted.

For the time being, his days of actively carving out new territory were over.

“Alright then, let’s go on our date! It’s been so long since it was just the two of us!”

Viola announced proudly.

Today, he was scheduled to go out alone with Viola — in other words, a date.

Since construction of the new settlement would have to begin once the holidays were over, they planned to fully enjoy this precious bit of free time.

The girls, having discussed things without Rest, had decided the schedule: today with Viola, tomorrow with Primula, and the day after with Yuri.

“I’ve gone out with you and Primula a lot, but it’s been a while since it was just the two of us. It feels a little strange, somehow.”

“Yeah… now that you mention it, the three of us usually go out together.”

Rest nodded at Viola’s words.

The two of them strolled arm in arm through the streets of the royal capital.

Both were dressed in their best — stylish outfits meant for going out.

Especially Viola — a girl of rare beauty.

As they walked past people, especially the men, Rest noticed many of them blushing and glancing back at Viola.

“It’s okay if I pick where we go today, right?”

“Of course.”

Today was all about Viola.

He had decided to respect her wishes on where they would go.

(Well… I’ve got dates three days in a row. I couldn’t come up with three plans even if I tried, so honestly, this makes it easier…)

Tomorrow was Primula’s turn, and the day after would be Yuri.

It felt rude to take them all to the same place, but coming up with three different date ideas was a tall order for Rest, who wasn’t exactly the most socially sharp person.

“There’s a place I’ve wanted to visit for a while. This way.”

“Where is this…?”

Viola led him to a small café.

Rest had been to plenty of cafés before, but something about this one felt different.

“You’ll understand once we go inside.”

With a mischievous smile, Viola pulled him inside, and Rest immediately noticed the café’s theme.

“Nyaa~.”

“This place is…!”

As soon as they stepped in, they were greeted by small creatures.

Cats. The café was full of them, and the customers were all doting on the furry little creatures.

“A cat café…!”

“It opened recently. I’ve wanted to come for a while now.”

Viola said, her voice bright and cheerful.

It seemed Viola was a cat lover.

“Surprising, isn’t it? Letting so many cats roam freely inside a café.”

“Yeah… I’m honestly shocked.”

Rest had never expected a cat café to exist in another world.

Who on earth had thought of this?
