Decision and A Date 5

Scene Break

A week passed by and Naruto waited eagerly for this day as he was going to talk to Grayfia in private. He went to Paris Central and waited for the silver-haired beauty to come and she came at 7.

"I didn't expect you to come, Grayfia," said Naruto in a happy tone.

"I knew you wouldn't, that's why I came," said Grayfia with a small smile. She changed her appearance to look like a human.

She wore black and gold embellished attire with silver edges and a black skirt to match. She also wore earrings which, from what Naruto can observe, is a crest. She looks stunning.

Naruto also had a change of attire as he wanted to look good to the woman whom he wanted to be with. He wore a black shirt with a gold zipper and black pants paired with his Uzumaki swirl on his back and his left shoulder.

They both wore similar clothes, complimenting each other. Naruto didn't take much time to point that out.

"I didn't take you to be a stalker, Grayfia," he said in a teasing tone.

"Same goes for you, Naruto-kun," said Grayfia, showing that she was out of duty now by talking to him freely, not giving the honorifics she would generally use.

"What a surprise! We are only starting. Shall we go?" Asked Naruto, giving his hand, Grayfia took it and they started walking hand in hand.

Naruto took her to a normal looking restaurant instead of a fancy one and took a table at the far corner and after they made their orders, they started talking.

"I thought of taking you to a fancy one, but knew that you would have experienced a lot by now and decided to take you to a normal one," explained Naruto.

"That's appreciated. Satan knows how many 'elite' restaurants I went to," she said. The mood was pleasant and as the food was served, they started making small talk.

"So how was your experience last week?"

"Manageable. I didn't think being the 'Strongest Queen' takes that much time until last week," she said with a satisfactory smile.

"How did you manage then? I mean, with all the things Sirzechs does and his childish acts," elaborated Naruto.

"I would 'discipline' him by cutting his 'Ria-chan' time," she said with a wide smile.

"Too bad, I don't have any special times for anyone," added Naruto with a toothy grin.

"We'll see that when I take the role. I heard your 'Vice President' is that beautiful blonde girl behind you, isn't she?" She asked curiously, acting along.

"Yes, she is. Reni-chan is the best. It's a pity that you can't study with me,"

"If we talk, we can arrange that," said Grayfia. She liked how the blonde was mixing everything.

She went on so many dates before in her leisure time. But most of them pissed their pants as soon as they came into the room because of her passive presence.

The few who dared to move ahead after the first date, when she would reveal her identity, ran away from the Underworld as they feared Sirzechs wrath.

All her reassurances would go down the drain at the fear of the Crimson Satan. She would come back disappointed and Sara would be there to console her.

This process repeated for nearly a hundred dates, in which she observed that none of them drew her towards them and gave up going on dates altogether.

"As you might have already known by now, in our world, power is everything. It is the power that gives you everything as power is valued the most in the supernatural world.

Women are no exception to that. The more power an individual has, the more women and powerful women he attracts. So I ask you this, how powerful are you, Naruto Uzumaki?

I know you are not normal. I can feel it. Even a Super Devil like Sirzechs can't attract me, what made me attracted to you is what I want to know.

What is this feeling that says to me that you are the answer to all my questions? Tell me, Naruto. I know you feel something for me." She asked with a straight face.

"That's a question I can't answer here, dear Grayfia. But one thing I can tell you is this, I do have feelings for you. I want you to be on my side. You remind me of a dear person I lost coming here.

More than that, I can't say. Maybe over the time of our future dates, we can discuss?" Naruto suggested with a cheerful smile.

Grayfia observed how passionate he spoke of this dear person of his. She can wait. After all, she had all the time in the world as she is no longer Queen of Sirzechs.

"I'm willing to wait for that answer, Naruto. But don't take it at your leisure as my mind can change at any moment," she said in a teasing tone and gave Naruto a challenging look.
