Eventually Asteri did not purchase anything from the blacksmith, but only had his current sword overhauled.
'I had the feeling it would end like this ...' Asteri thought in his mind.
'What weapon are you looking for boy?' Aurelion was curious to know what the boy really wanted.
'I don't know how to say it, but I want a sword that feels good. The mithril one made a good impression on me, but it wasn't what I aspired to have. 'Asteri tried to explain him as best he could.
'I understand, not really, but let's put it this way. But I am sure that sooner or later you will get your weapon, we are still at the beginning of our journey. 'Aurelion tried to lift Asteri's morale.
'Of course, this is just the beginning.' Asteri would not have given up, he will surely find his perfect weapon.
At that moment Asteri was heading towards the meeting place written by Thalia.
'Appointment ehh, in my old life there had never been, to be honest I was a virgin.' Asteri was thinking about his old life.
'Do you regret your old life?' Aurelion wanted to know what he thought of it.
'To tell you the truth, no. I feel that in this world I can achieve something, I have goals and I can achieve them with the right determination. And then ... eheh. 'Asteri chuckled maliciously in the last few sentences.
'Forget it I understand. Better this way because you can't go back anyway. 'Aurelion slammed the hard truth in his face.
'What honesty, but don't worry it wasn't my intention to do that.' the boy answered.
Between a chat with Aurelion, Asteri reached the meeting place. It was a medium-sized square, in the center of which stood a kind of pillar as a monument. And below was a dedication to the heroes who saved Kalos territory from enemy forces in the dark times thousands of years ago.
'I am curious about these" dark times.' the empire of the Sol is said to have been born in that period. 'Asteri considered.
'I don't care in the least.' Aurelion responded with apathy towards the history of this territory.
'Oh come on man, you should try a little harder to understand the history of this country, as well as of this world.' Asteri wanted his mate to spend some time on Azioth's story.
'... when I want to know the customs of the miserable lower worlds, then I'll give you a whistle.' he always replied with boredom.
'Ahhh okay, that's already something.' Asteri snorted at Aurelion's stubbornness, but there was nothing he could do for the moment.
After ten minutes, Asteri could see Thalia approaching him, at a fairly fast pace.
"Good evening Asteri, sorry if I made you wait." Thalia apologized for the delay.
"Don't worry it's not a problem. I see that today you are dressed in a particular way, I like you you are beautiful." Asteri said what he really thought.
"T-thanks ... I didn't actually know what to wear, but in the end I opted for a simple dress". Thalia looked at her dress. It was a simple red one-piece dress with yellow flowers.
"Simplicity is not a bad thing, I don't mind at all." the boy revealed that he did not mind Thalia's simple dress, because he too was very simple.
"I'm happy, I thought you didn't like it." Thalia accidentally said what she thought.
"Eheh, so you did it for me? How thoughtful this rabbit girl is." Asteri teased Thalia a little.
"Ugh, don't fool me, I'm still the greatest here, you know?" She taly she wanted to exploit the fact of her age so that Asteri would no longer make fun of her.
"Oh really? How sorry, I'm really sorry, Mrs. Thalia." Asteri said a false apology.
"Madam ?! I'm not that old and rude." Thalia puffed out her cheeks, pouting. Which made her more adorable than normal.
"Do you know that you are even more adorable when you pout?" Asteri walked over and she told him.
"Hmph! I don't consider the compliments of a person who calls me old lady, your words are just air for me." Thalia was still sulking.
"Okay, I'm so sorry my sweet Thalia, can you forgive this fool?" Asteri wanted to see how Thalia would react.
"Ok, this time I forgive you ... hahaha actually I was just kidding." Thalia laughed at Asteri's reaction.
"So it turns out you're a bad rabbit." Asteri was happy to get to know more and more sides of the people he cares about.
"I'm the kindest rabbit girl in the country." Thalia puffed out her chest with pride. Emphasizing her generous forms.
"I'm fully aware of that, Thalia. And that's one of those sides I like about you." Asteri smiled at Thalia's words.
The girl could only blush at the boy's compliments.
"How about starting our date?" Asteri wanted to take Thalia around the city.
"Of course!" Thalia could only be happy about it.
The two began walking around the city. Visiting some stalls, shops and other places in the city. Asteri saw Thalia very happy and the boy was happy. Especially since these days he saw her very depressed, even though she didn't know why she was. So he wanted to take the opportunity of their date to cheer her up.
"I booked a table for two at a nearby restaurant, shall we go there?" Asteri, just before going to the blacksmith, made a reservation in the restaurant he had chosen for his appointment.
"Really? Can't wait let's go." Thalia seemed very busy with this date, more than expected.
'So she's more depressed than I thought ... I'm really worried about why she's so upset.' Asteri reflected as he accompanied Talia to the restaurant.
Eventually they arrived in front of the restaurant and entered. They were escorted by a waiter to the reserved table. And finally they sat down in their seats, obviously Asteri knew the gentlemanly ways, and they moved Thalia's chair to seat her. The girl thanked him for her good manners.
