Chapter 273: It’s a Date (Yuri’s Edition) ②
“Alright, Rest! We’ve arrived at our destination!”
“Ooh…”
Yuri had brought him to a hill located a little way outside the royal capital.
The gentle hill was covered in greenery, and the sky above was vast and clear, offering a refreshing view.
“Pretty amazing, right? I found it the other day while I was out for a run!”
Yuri puffed out her chest with pride as she spoke.
Finally freed from the princess carry, Rest let out a sigh.
“It really is a nice view… But still, you ran all the way out here?”
The distance from the capital to this hill wasn’t exactly short.
Even though Yuri was a top-class athlete and the picture of health, it wasn’t the sort of place you’d casually jog to.
“Nah, it was a fluke. I usually run through the streets of the capital in the morning, but I decided to take a different turn for a change… and ended up here.”
“A… a single turn? And that brought you here?”
There was no way this place could be discovered just by changing one turn.
And more importantly, how did she even leave the capital? Did he not notice when she crossed the city walls?
“Well, it’s a great view… Though it’s a bit chilly this time of year.”
“Yeah, we should’ve come during a warmer season. The weather’s nice, but the wind is cold.”
“Right… in that case, Barrier.”
Rest activated a magic spell.
A transparent dome formed around them, keeping out the cold air.
He made sure not to completely block air flow, or else they’d suffocate—instead, the barrier simply reduced the chill coming in.
“Oh? It’s not cold anymore!”
“That should do it. Let’s relax for a while.”
“Yeah, let’s. I brought lunch—let’s eat!”
Yuri pulled out a large lunchbox from the backpack she’d been carrying.
It was quite a sizable box, and she opened it proudly in front of Rest.
“I got up early this morning to make it! Believe it or not, I’m actually pretty good at cooking!”
“Really…? That’s… surprising…”
He didn’t associate her with cooking at all.
If anything, he could only recall various incidents where things had gone very wrong.
(She made me eat worm meat once… and I feel like she tried to feed me bugs, too… Is this lunch safe?)
“Go on, dig in! I’m confident in this one!”
“Uh… wow. That’s a lot of brown…”
When Yuri opened the large lunchbox, a sea of brown food greeted him.
There were no colorful veggies like parsley or cherry tomatoes in sight.
It was packed entirely with meat dishes—grilled meat, hamburg steak, fried chicken, pork cutlets, yakitori…
And the quantity was intense. Even for two people, it was a massive amount—so stuffed that it looked like the box might burst from the inside.
“Well… it certainly looks like it’ll boost my stamina…”
“You seemed tired, so I packed in all the nutritious stuff I could think of!”
“I’m sure it is nutritious… maybe a little too much in one direction, though.”
“There’s sandwiches too! Make sure to eat those as well.”
From another container, she pulled out sandwiches—egg salad and BLT.
Seeing the vegetables peeking out from between the slices of bread gave him a slight sense of relief.
“There’s plenty, so eat as much as you want!”
“…Thanks. I’ll dig in.”
Leaving aside the sheer volume and meat overload… at least there weren’t any bugs or monster parts this time.
The meat looked like it came from chicken, beef, and pork. It should be safe.
“…It’s good.”
The meat, though strongly seasoned, was tender and more thoughtfully prepared than it looked.
Yuri had a surprisingly refined palate, so Rest trusted her taste, but her cooking had clearly improved too.
“I’ve been learning from Primula and the chefs at Marquis Rosemary estate. They say I’ve got talent!”
“I see… Now that you mention it, you’ve always had a good memory.”
Despite her free-spirited personality, she was a capable student with a strong desire to learn.
Apparently, she was progressing quickly with her cooking skills as well.
Though the amount had seemed overwhelming at first, Rest was still a teenage boy—and Yuri, despite being a girl, could eat like one. Together, they polished off the entire lunch with ease.
“Ah, that was great… thanks for the meal.”
“You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it!”
“I’m totally full now… and kinda sleepy…”
The sky was a clear blue, and the green hills and plains stretched around them.
Lying down and taking a nap here would probably be incredibly comfortable.
“Perfect. That’s part of the plan.”
Yuri smiled and patted her lap.
Grinning mischievously, she motioned him over with one hand.
“I even brought a pillow! Use it without holding back!”
“…Seriously?”
That would certainly be the ultimate pillow.
After all… it was the lap of the beloved daughter of the Catreya marquis family.
Rest hesitated, wondering if he should refuse… but honestly, they’d already shared a bed before, so getting flustered now felt pointless.
“…Well then, I’ll take you up on that.”
Following her invitation, Rest laid down and rested his head gently on Yuri’s thighs.
