Chapter 187 - That Book Never Lies
As he walked down, he suddenly remembered something so he made a turn towards the rooms of the waitresses.
He stopped right in front of Emilia\'s room before knocking on her door a moment later.
A minute had already passed and there was still no response.
He thought that she might have gone downstairs already so he turned around and prepared to leave.
However, before he could take a step, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
He turned around and realized that the door in Emilia\'s room was still closed.
"Ban…"
He suddenly heard someone calling him from a distance and he could not help but turn his head to the direction of the sweet voice.
There, he saw Emilia who had just gotten out of the bathroom.
Her hair was still wet while her breast all the way down to the half of her thigh was covered by a white towel.
There was a blush on her face as she stared at Ban anxiously.
Meanwhile, Ban\'s eyes did not leave her body even for a moment. He was stunned by the scene in front of him and the area between his pants immediately bulged without warning.
"Ban…"
Being stared at by Ban like that, Emilia could not help but call his name again.
She was extremely nervous and shy at the moment as she did not expect to be seen by Ban with her current outfit.
She then recalled that when Ban saved her in the bathroom before, she was only wearing her undies. Her cheek turned rosy even more thinking about it.
She no longer waited for Ban to recover before she hurriedly ran towards her room. She bypassed Ban and swiftly went inside her room.
It was only then that Ban realized that he actually dozed off.
His heartbeat was like that of a galloping horse as he recalled the stunning scene earlier.
The feeling he got was different from what he experienced yesterday on the Black Market.
This time, he actually got this urge to pull that towel down and reveal the treasures that were hidden beneath it.
Ban shook his head to get rid of those thoughts as he faced the door in Emilia\'s room.
He knocked on it and softly said, "I\'m sorry, I didn\'t mean to stare at you like that… I- I was just stunned by your beautiful appearance…"
Behind the door, Emilia could be seen leaning against it.
She clutched her beating chest while holding the towel in place.
Her face was still red from embarrassment and nervousness.
However, after hearing Ban, her beating heart actually calmed down in an instant.
She released a \'phew\' and finally replied a moment later. "It\'s alright… Wait for me for a bit, let\'s go downstairs at the same time."
"Okay…"
A smile surfaces on Emilia\'s face as she hurriedly puts on her waitress uniform.
She fixed herself, examined her Summoned Monster and after making sure that it was alright, she finally opened the door of her room.
The moment she opened the door, she immediately saw Ban in from the door, staring directly into her eyes.
Emilia produced an alluring smile as she said, "Let\'s go?"
"Alright…" Ban also replied with a smile.
He then offered his arm which Emilia gladly accepted before they walked downstairs.
"You look so beautiful…" Ban praised her as they were walking down the stairs.
She was wearing the usual uniform but different from before, she actually wore a turban today.
It fixed her hair backwards moderately making it look very neat.
"Thank you!"
A wide smile surfaced on Emilia\'s face even more upon hearing Ban\'s praise.
Seeing her smile, Ban could also not help but smile.
\'That book really doesn\'t lie. Complimenting a girl would really make them smile.\'
Just like yesterday, they stopped midway the stairs and kissed each other on the cheek before unlimking their arms before continuing downwards.
Although Kuys already knew of their relationship, the customers, or more precisely, their \'fans\' were not aware of it yet.
If they saw them like that early in the morning, they would surely receive the shock of their life.
When the two of them emerged from the door leading upstairs, multiple heads turned their gaze towards them in an instant.
There was a surprise in their eyes but they soon calmed down and focused again on what they were doing previously.
This was the first time that Ban and Emilia went down together so Ban at least expected some sort of reaction from them.
However, contrary to his expectations, they only stared at them for a second before ignoring them as if it was already normal.
Ban looked around and noticed that the bar was unusually quiet right now even though there were already people eating their meal.
However, he did not dwell over it as he and Emilia went towards the counter, to where Kuys was.
They sat on the chairs and greeted Kuys a good morning which the latter responded with a smile.
He then served them a sumptuous breakfast together with Eva\'s share.
Kuys stared at Ban for a second after realizing that something had changed on him. However, he ignored it in the end as he proceeded to wipe a transparent glass with a clean cloth again.
"Grandpa Kuys, has something happened? Why are they all very quiet?" Ban could not help but ask curiously after he was done eating.
"Who knows, maybe they are afraid or something?" Kuys just shrugged his shoulders before continuing what he was doing.
Ban noticed that Kuys was hiding something but he also did not dwell on it.
"Oh yeah, Grandpa Kuys, I planned on going to the Death Swamp to train myself today and I don\'t know when I will come back. But it should not exceed more than five days."
Kuys thought for a moment before nodding his head.
"Alright… It\'s even better if you stayed there for more than a week. Just be careful and remember to not let your guard down."
According to the recent report, the Beast Tide should only occur any time after a week from now. At first, he was not worried about Ban participating in it as he was already at the F-Apprentice Rank.
However, after learning that the Dark Guild was on it again, he thought that it would be better to send Ban away so that he will not be targeted by the Dark Guild, just like what has happened before.
