Soon, a steaming bowl of ramen was served.
Mitsuri Kanroji swallowed, looking at the bowl of ramen in front of her, and asked Abel, "Is it okay?"
"Eat."
Having received an affirmative answer, Mitsuri Kanroji put her hands together.
"I'll dig in."
With that, she began to eat the ramen.
Seeing Mitsuri Kanroji's blissful expression, Abel asked the boss to cook a dozen more bowls of ramen; after all, this girl was a genuine big eater.
Mitsuri Kanroji quickly finished her first bowl, and the second bowl was successfully refilled.
Bowl after bowl.
Mitsuri Kanroji was completely immersed in her eating.
More and more people gathered around, their gazes drawn by her astonishing appetite, revealing stunned expressions.
Mitsuri Kanroji, however, was oblivious, focused solely on enjoying the delicious food, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster.
When the last bowl of ramen was consumed,
Mitsuri Kanroji also came back to her senses, looking at the stack of bowls beside her, her small face blushing again, followed by a somewhat flustered expression.
"I ate so much, will he dislike me?"
The girl looked at Abel with some unease, but he just smiled at her.
"Are you full?"
"I'm full."
Mitsuri Kanroji quickly added, "Um… actually, I don't usually eat this much."
Abel shook his head and said, "In my hometown, there's an old saying: 'To be able to eat is a blessing.' Also, don't compromise yourself to cater to others."
Mitsuri Kanroji's heart fluttered even more as she listened to Abel's words.
The man in front of her was the husband she had been hoping for.
"Would you like some more?"
"But… no, Xiao-kun, I'm done eating."
"Are you really not having more?"
Mitsuri Kanroji hesitated for a moment but still shook her head: "No, really, Xiao-kun, I'm afraid eating too much will cause you trouble."
Abel smiled and called the boss to pay the bill.
As the boss announced the price, Mitsuri Kanroji also felt a bit embarrassed.
"Um, boss, I'll…"
"No need, I can afford this much for noodles."
After settling the bill, the two walked out of the noodle shop side by side.
Seeing that the weather outside was still pleasant, Abel turned his head to Mitsuri Kanroji and said,
"So, beautiful Miss Mitsuri, what shall we do next?"
"Where does Xiao-kun want to go?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Mitsuri, I'm unfamiliar with this place."
"Oh, I see."
Listening to Abel's words, Mitsuri Kanroji tilted her head in thought, then her eyes lit up as she seemed to remember something, looking at Abel.
"I know!"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Listening to Abel's somewhat charming words, Mitsuri Kanroji's cheeks felt a bit hot.
So she lowered her head and instinctively pulled Abel's arm, running towards a certain place.
Mitsuri Kanroji pulled Abel along, excitedly saying, "Xiao-kun, I know a place! I'll take you there!"
And so, the two held hands.
Soon, they arrived at a bustling market.
People came and went, and various stalls were dazzling.
Mitsuri Kanroji, like a cheerful little bird, pulled Abel through the various stalls.
One moment she would point to a beautiful hair ornament and say it looked good, the next she would point to a small animal and say it would surely be delicious when it grew up.
The two weaved through the streets.
However, Mitsuri Kanroji frequented the snack shops more often.
A bit of tempura here, a taiyaki there.
Finally, the two stopped at a small shop specializing in sakura mochi, and Mitsuri Kanroji was clearly a regular customer.
"Grandma Ito, I'm here!"
Grandma Ito, who was making sakura mochi, looked up when she heard Mitsuri Kanroji's voice.
"Oh, it's little Mitsuri."
Then she looked at Abel beside her. "And this is?"
"Xiao-kun, my blind date," Mitsuri Kanroji said proudly.
This time, her blind date was successful!
"Hello, Grandma Ito."
Abel also greeted the old woman.
Grandma Ito looked at Abel and was quite pleased, then she looked at Mitsuri Kanroji and said, "It seems our little Mitsuri has found the person to spend her life with."
Listening to the old woman's words, Mitsuri Kanroji smiled very happily. Yes, she had found that person.
"Of course. Grandma Ito, please give me two sakura mochi."
"Alright."
In a moment, Grandma Ito brought out two exquisite sakura mochi.
Mitsuri Kanroji took them, handing one to Abel and holding one herself. She took a small bite, and her face instantly filled with satisfaction.
Abel also took a bite; it was sweet but not greasy, and a refreshing aroma spread in his mouth.
The taste was surprisingly good.
Abel hadn't even finished his first one when Mitsuri Kanroji said to Grandma Ito,
"Grandma Ito, another one!"
"Alright."
Time passed by like this, little by little.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sun set on time.
The evening activities also began.
The two sat on a mountaintop, looking at the lights below.
Mitsuri Kanroji looked at Abel; today was a special day for her.
She had met someone she could entrust herself to.
"Xiao-kun."
"What's wrong?"
Abel looked at the blushing Mitsuri Kanroji.
"I… I hope to be your wife," Mitsuri Kanroji said loudly, somewhat conflicted.
Then she looked at Abel with expectant eyes.
Looking at the young girl in front of him, Abel smiled. Well, now it was time for the truth.
"Miss Mitsuri, I am not human. I am a demon."
As he spoke, Abel spread his demon wings. Seeing Abel suddenly grow wings, Mitsuri Kanroji was visibly stunned.
But Abel's next words put Mitsuri at ease.
Abel continued,
"I have many wives, but I will absolutely treat everyone equally. So, Miss Mitsuri, are you willing to become my wife, to become a demon?"
Listening to Abel's words, Mitsuri Kanroji didn't know why she felt a sense of anticipation.
Was it because of the harsh words from her previous blind dates, which had made her feel inferior?
Or was it because she had spent such a happy and fulfilling day with Abel? He didn't care about her hair color; instead, he praised her for being beautiful and cute. He didn't mind her eating a lot; instead, he asked if she was full and if she needed more.
He didn't mind her great strength; instead, he embraced her. So, she didn't dislike the idea of becoming Abel's wife, of becoming a demon.
Looking at Abel, Mitsuri Kanroji boldly leaned in and gently kissed his lips. Then she said seriously,
"I am willing to become Xiao-kun's wife, and I am also willing to become a demon."
"Have you thought it through? Once you agree, it cannot be changed. From now on, you will not only be my wife but also my retainer, and also my possession."
