The Epic of Leviathan - Chapter 432: The Tea Date (II)...
[POV Reo]
Unohana and I appeared on a street filled with street food stalls and normal food stalls. It was practically a fast-food Heaven or something like that. For a second, Unohana Retsu thought that it was an illusion as kept looking around, inspecting everything with a curious gaze.
“Your method of teleportation is much better than what we use. I didn’t even feel a thing before I was already here” Unohana said with a smile I simply grinned.
“Unlike everyone else, I manipulate the Space so it feels a lot smoother” I said with a slightly smug grin on my face.
“So, have you ever tried an ice cream?” I asked and Unohana’s eyes focused on the ice cream parlour beside the street.
“I have… it was available in Seireitei though I won’t deny your offer. It has been some time since I had one” Unohana answered with a smile. I smiled and decided to take a leap of faith and grab Unohana’s hand.
Unohana’s face lit up like a Christmas Tree but she didn’t protest so I started to lead her towards the ice cream parlour. There were a lot of flavours I haven’t tried but one of them caught my attention. I turned towards Unohana who was staring towards our hands with a blush on her face.
She is so cute when she is like that. She is completely innocent in all these romantic matters. I already knew that Unohana loved spicy food so it wasn’t going to be a problem… I think. Well, we won’t know until we give it a try. I was actively using my Reality Powers to stop others from noticing us.
The two of us finally arrived in front of the store and I only allowed the shopkeeper to notice us. “Two Respiro Del Diavolo, please” I ordered and the shopkeeper gave me a small nod. Unohana kept watching the whole process like a curious cat. Only after a few seconds, the shopkeeper handed us our ice cream cones.
I handed one cone to Unohana who accepted the dessert with a bright smile on her face. After paying the money, we walked away from the store and once again, I started to use my Reality Powers to hide ourselves. I wasn’t afraid of anyone. I simply didn’t want anyone interrupting us.
While walking around the street Unohana took a small bite to ascertain the taste. Only after a second, her eyes grew wide in surprise and she started to lick the ice cream with a happy smile on her face. I decided to give it a try… hmm… this is certainly different but in a good way.
This is probably one of the best ice creams I have ever tried and from now on, I am going to have a Respiro Del Diavolo at least once a week. From the look on Unohana’s face, she is probably thinking something along the same line.
“Not disappointed, right?” Reo asked Unohana. She gave me a bright smile and shook her head.
“This is the best ice cream I ever had” Unohana said with a bright smile and continued nibbling on her ice cream. She looked really cute right now.
After a few minutes, both of us were done with our ice creams. We could have finished it more quickly but we simply wanted to savour the taste. The ice cream was brilliant. Whoever discovered this ice cream must have been a genius. Not only this ice cream but the ice cream as a whole.
From the corner of my eyes, I noticed that Unohana was eyeing the food stalls. “So, Retsu-San, did any of these stalls catch your attention?” I asked and Unohana simply looked towards the Tacos from Hell stall. I simply grinned as I led Unohana towards the stall.
I already knew that she loved spicy food so it wasn’t a surprise for me. I also loved spicy food so it wasn’t a problem. Unohana sniffed the air and gulped loudly as I started to interact with the stall owner. Once again the stall owner started to ignore me and Unohana as soon as I paid the money and walked away.
“How are you doing that? I have noticed that “everyone is ignoring us and the shop owners also start to ignore us as soon as you pay the money and walk away” Unohana questioned. She really wanted to try the food but she was also curious about the whole process.
“It’s simple… I simply wanted to interact with him so he interacted with me” I said and question marks appeared on top of Unohana’s head but she decided to give up the stupid questions as she had something more important to do.
She needed to taste the food in her hands. I could only smile wryly seeing her act like this… she is so cute with that thoughtful look on her face. ‘Why am I only interested in eccentric women?’ I questioned but no one answered me. Yeah, I already expected that.
“I envy Humans, they get to eat so many delicious foods every day” Unohana said when she finished her taco.
“You know you can always come here now that you know this place? Or I could always bring you here every day if you want” I asked but Unohana started to shake her head with a smile.
“It’s not that I don’t want to see you… or meet you. It is the opposite… but if I regularly eat all these delicious foods then I will lose the ability to eat normal food” Unohana said with a serious look on her face. I guess I understand where she is coming from.
“So… what’s next?” Unohana asked and I simply waved my hand and several types of visions appeared in front of Unohana’s eyes.
“Hmm… I wonder how many of them we would be able to try before we need to go back?” Unohana questioned as she slowly turned her head towards me. Her facial expressions were completely neutral.
“We won’t know until we give it a try… I suppose” I said with a grin and Unohana couldn’t stop herself from smiling.
“Why don’t you surprise me?” Unohana asked after a few moments, unable to decide what she wanted to eat first… everything looked delicious.
“Sure” I said and started to lead Unohana through the food stalls and Unohana was obviously surprised… multiple times.
It took us a couple of hours to finish trying everything and the night was still young. So I decided to take Unohana to a movie. Unohana finally made up her mind to watch an adventure action movie named Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
It was a movie that came out in 2008, but it was still playing because of something inane like an anniversary or something. Well, who cares, it is a nice movie so it was alright. I got the popcorn and cola while Unohana decided to patiently wait for me outside the store. After getting everything I led her inside the theatre.
“Is this your first time in a theatre?” I asked and Unohana chuckled softly and shook her head.
“No… we had theatres back in the Seireitei but I have never been to a theatre like this” Unohana said while looking around. The lights dimmed and the movie finally started, once again, I used my Reality Powers to make everyone ignore us. I wrapped my arm around Unohana’s shoulder and pulled her closer.
Once again, Unohana started to blush but she didn’t mind my advances and meekly snuggled into my arms. The movie brought up a lot of old memories. I have seen this movie in my previous human life. After that, I never got the chance to watch it again. I was simply busy lazing around while doing nothing.
“So, did you like the movie?” I asked as we walked out of the theatre.
“Yes, the movie was pretty good. I loved how that Jones guy punched that Russian guy in the face” Unohana said cheerfully. Yes, I should have expected that coming.
“It’s already dinner time… let’s have a pizza before going back” I offered and Unohana tilted her head in confusion. Looks like she had a pizza before in her life.
“What’s a pizza?” Unohana asked curiously and I led her towards the Domino’s. Once again I ordered everything with extra spice. Unohana loved garlic bread and pizza. According to her, it was marvellous.
After that, the two of us finally decided to return to Knox but instead of using my Space Powers, the two of us decided to walk around before returning. We kept walking down the streets while holding hands, it was pretty romantic and I could practically feel happiness rolling off Unohana.
After an hour, Unohana and I finally returned to Knox. “I had a lot of fun today…” Unohana said with a gentle and kind smile on her face.
“I had a lot of fun too, we can do it again some other time if you want…” I offered and Unohana eagerly nodded her head.
“Reo-Kun…” Unohana muttered and her cheeks slightly flushed but she gathered back her bearings. “I will be looking forward to our next tea date” Unohana said with a smile.
After a few awkward moments of silence, neither of us knew what to say. Usually, I would kiss to end the date but I don’t think that would be fine with Unohana. She suddenly wrapped her arms around me and gave me a tight hug. She tip-toed and pecked me on my cheek and disappeared in a mist of darkness.
Hmm… I thought as I traced my cheek. I didn’t miss the massive blush Unohana had on her face before she disappeared. Indeed… the luckiest guy in the Omniverse…
