Friends With Benefits

My date with D continued after beating that secret level. We went directly to play another game on the upper floor, bowling this one wasn't that hard to play, you just need to roll the bowling ball at the right angle and with the right position.

You'll get a perfect score, which D and I did, again people cheered for that perfect record, then after that, we went to play DDR or Dance Dance Revolution.

We killed the game, literally, I don't know how it was possible but it did, the machine just broke when we perfected the hardest song.

I wasn't a dancer, but I certainly killed it and was pretty proud of it. How many people could claim to have destroyed a machine while playing?

There weren't many, certainly, so we played a few more games in the arcade, for example, darts, ping pong, and billiards.

It was enjoyable honestly, thanks to the person I'm with to be perfectly honest, I never thought this date would go so well, since my partner isn't exactly normal.

Not to mention, I'm supposed to be scared of her, but right now I could confidently eat that I'm not. Besides her sadistic and cruel tendency, she's a pretty okay person at least in my book, she's one of those high-maintenance girls I heard about.

Looking at her face and body, without a doubt a high-maintenance girl, then I saw her glare at me, to which I replied with an innocent smile.

To be honest, I can't help but feel fascinated by a simple fact that she could tell whenever I thought something rude to her, how is that possible anyway?

Is this the legendary sixth sense of womankind?

Because it's certainly a useful skill, at least you know who talks trash behind your back.

Anyway, there's an unwritten rule about dates: no matter how perfect or fancy the date place is, it wouldn't matter if you and your partner aren't compatible with each other, what matters is that both parties enjoy each other's company.

It was already noon when we finished playing all sorts of games, we took a break since it's lunchtime, fortunately, despite being an arcade, this place is like a mall since it's pretty similar to one if it weren't for the fact that most of the floors had a game station, then it might as well a mall.

I went together with D to the nearest cafeteria in the place, it was only a dozen meters away so it didn't take long for us to arrive.

D already sat at the table that was empty and I followed her lead, there's no point picking a different table, unsurprisingly most of the people inside the cafeteria were gawking in their direction as if they were some sort of celebrities.

Now that this happened I can't help but remember the time when my sister and I went to that particular cafeteria in the Clocktower, although the reaction of the people around us was less intense it was still similar.

So, this is what deja vu felt like…

It wasn't everyday you see a beautiful girl like D, maybe too beautiful, while I may be handsome. D was in an entire league of her own, so it's not surprising for her to be at the center of attention, especially when she went all out with her makeover.

Making her significantly better than she already is, I could see a lot of females were looking at her with jealousy, not that I am blaming them, although it's also the same for the male population, their envious gaze was visible, that even a blind person could see it.

I wasn't blind nor oblivious, despite knowing that I ignored them, why would I care about their envy? They could drown with it for all I care.

There's no way I'd allow them to ruin my day, especially when I'm starting to enjoy this.

D held her chin using her right hand, and her eyes wandered around. "Envious people aren't they?"

I can't even disagree with that obvious statement and just nodded.

After that waitress arrived to take our orders and I told the girl my orders, and so did D.

Still, it makes me wonder why it's always a waitress in this sort of establishment, why not a waiter or something, granted a female worker is pleasing to the eyes, but isn't this feminism?

So far in my time here in Japan, a male waiter is rare, either way, our orders arrived, it was an omelet with my name on it, childish but I've always wanted to try this at least once and desserts arrived.

As for D's order, It's a different kind of fish dish-based dish, some look appetizing, however, it probably wouldn't be as good as my brother-in-law's cooking.

I dug in and wasn't surprised by the taste. The flavor of the omelet is above average aside from that it's nothing special, though I wasn't that much of a picky eater. I wasn't my sister who eats a 5-star meal on a daily basis.

As someone who was poor in my last life, I learned a full stomach is better than an empty one. While my tongue had been spoiled by different kinds of luxurious dishes for the past 18 years of my life, I still remained the same.

Food is food after all.

"You don't look like you enjoyed your food." D looked at me while putting the fried fish into her beautiful mouth.

"No, I did enjoy it but not as much." I didn't lie. I did enjoy it but trying a world-class food made my taste buds spoiled.

"Is that so…?" D doubtfully looked at my face.

"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter." I shrugged and continued to eat my meal.

"No, I believe you, though you're probably used to eating high-quality meat from those exotic animals that the mage association breeds, no?"

I stopped my movement and stared at her with wide eyes. "You know about- Of course, that was a stupid question…"

Muttering the last part, it was quite foolish of me not taking account the fact that this alien goddess knew of the existence of mage association.

"Of course, I know about them it's quite hard not to notice their existence when they constantly use mana, or prana in your mage association term, everyday if it wasn't for the fact that normal humans couldn't sense prana, I would have thought your people want to let everyone know that you guys know magic," D stated.

"Magecraft." I corrected her choice of words.

"Potato, tomato same difference you humans complicate things."

"Potato and tomato aren't even the same thing!" I almost shouted out of frustration right there, the magus part of me was screaming to educate this ignorant fool, though there's no way she's ignorant, D mostly did this on purpose so that she could get under my skin.

Well, she did and honestly, it's frustrating. I saw her smirk in my direction and I was right with my guess, she did it purposely.

I let out a sigh, I'm better than this. Why did I let her get under my skin?

Anyway, next time I won't take the bite.

"Magecraft and Magic it doesn't matter, to me they are the same thing." D smiled in front of me.

"Hey…you shouldn't talk about magecraft or magic in public you know…" I learned my lessons with Luvia, thankfully though the damage wasn't anything big as the words of children aren't taken seriously by most adults.

However, the smile on her face curved even more, and replied. "That rule doesn't matter to me, whether humans that had nothing to do with the moonlit world heard this or not, the consequences don't matter because, unlike you magus, I have no rules, I do whatever I want, to have fun every single moment possible."

Right…this alien goddess is an exception to that rule since she doesn't rely on magecraft.

"Is pretending to be a student fun to you?" I couldn't help but say.

"That's a pretty complicated question, though there are times that I do, but most of the time I don't, as those boys are quite annoying, I know I'm beautiful but being confessed everyday is starting to get old, to answer your question, no it was fun at first but got boring real fast," D admitted while tapping her forefinger into the table.

"Then, why not quit then?"

"I need it for my background in this world."

Okay, I feel like it's just an excuse at this point but who am I to judge her? It's her life.

"Alright, thanks for answering my question." Then I resumed eating lunch with D.

And after that, we resumed our date together, it was fun, more than my previous dates in the past.

At the end of the day, the date was definitely a success, if there is next time I have no problem going.

Although….

"Hey, why exactly are we in front of a motel..?" I knew what was coming, I wasn't an idiot but I just wanted to clarify her intention. After all, I don't want to misunderstand her intentions and certainly don't want to feel embarrassed later if I was wrong with my prediction.

"Isn't it obvious? We're going to have sex till dawn." D answered with zero hesitation or shame as if it was no big deal.

"....I- Why?" I feel like I asked a very stupid question, but thankfully D didn't say anything about it and just said.

"It's been eons since I had sexual interaction with someone, yesterday was the first time in many years and now a chance has appeared. Why not take advantage of it? There aren't many who could meet my standards these days, and you happen to meet them, so do you want it or not?" D challenged me, or at least what I thought her tone indicates.

There's no way I'd say no to that, a chance to fuck a goddess once more, unlike yesterday I'm surely going to engrave this to the deepest memories.

"I do."

With that, D immediately dragged me inside the motel and started their lovemaking, though there was hardly any love with it, only lust.

—

They aren't in love with each other, which is very obvious while they are dating, it is more of a one-sided thing, if I were to define their relationship it would be friends with benefits.

But that may change in the future.
