The Extra's Indifference

I came back to the room with 2 trays of food on my hands.

I placed one of them to on front of the Alicia and i sat down opposite of her.

Alicia had wore the clothes that i gave her. It was plain, commoner clothes that you can find everywhere.

"Thanks!" Alicia said energetically.

"Dont force yourself to be like this." I said casually and began to eat my food.

"I am not forcing myself. It is my habit to speak like this." Alicia said and she too began to eat her food.

We ate in silence for a while.

"Eat tomatoes too. Don't leave them." I said and pointed the tomatoes that she left with my fork.

"I don't like them. It is gross." Alicia said and stuck her tongue.

'She is really like a child.'

"Just eat it, they are good for your body." I said.

"You said that i don't have to force myself but you are the one that forcing me to eat these." Alicia said accusingly and smirked.

"It isn't same thing."

I stabbed the tomatoes with my fork and brought to Alicia.

"Eat it." I said sharply.

Alicia ate it reluctantly while looking me.

"Don't look at me like that. You will eat the remaining ones too."

'I am acting like i am her parent.' I thought but shook my head. 'It isn't good comparison but with that she will see how kind i am.'

Alicia contorted her face but nodded reluctantly.

"Good." I nodded and smiled a little.

After seeing my smile Alicia's energy came back to her but it didn't last long after i fed her the remaining tomatoes.

After eating our foods i got up and said. "Let's go and buy some proper clothes for you."

"I have pretty clothes at my room these are enough for today."

"I read that shopping reduces the stress that is why we are going to shopping. We aren't necessarily going to buy clothes, we will just look around. I am not enthusiastic about this too." I said and gestured her to come.

'Just now i noticed that i was acting like cold tsundere while i am talking to Alicia. Well, it can work. Characters that cold outside but warm inside are very popular among women.'

Alicia came to my side and i casted illusion magic on her to make her look like average.

'That is good. She came to my side without asking the reason. Even though this is very insignificant matter, it is progress nevertheless.'

"Woah! What a realistic illusion." Alicia exclaimed.

"I know." I said and casted a illusion magic on myself too.

We got out of the room and encountered to the innkeeper old lady.

"Room is a mess. Does the money i gave you last night compensate it?" I asked calmly.

"It does." Old lady said with grin and patted my back. I felt something dropped in my pocket but didn't look at it right away.

"It is good. Good day." I said and left the inn.

"Good day beautiful lad! Fate will be with you." I heard the old lady's word while we were leaving and i brought my hand to my pocket and took the thing that old lady put inside.

It was ordinary gold coin that 'Fate' engraved on the coin's face.

'She must be some sort of mage that sees or feels the fate.' I thought and put the coin back to my pocket.

When we got out of the inn Alicia punched my arm slowly.

"Hey! Why did you say this to that old woman?" Alicia asked with pout.

She must be embarrassed about the fact that she was the reason for the room's mess.

"That old woman has some majestic aura. I didn't want to disrespect or be indebted to an old monster in her retirement." I said calmly.

My Intuition told me that i will meet again with this old monster. Hence i talked with respect.

"What, really? Then why didn't i sense her aura?" Alicia asked with shocked expression.

"You must had been too busy to notice it because i sensed it at night." I said and briefly looked at her crotch area.

"Hey!" Alicia embarrassed and covered her crotch with her hand.

Alicia looked at me with perplexed expression.

"You can joke?" Alicia asked for confirmation.

"Ah! I am sorry. I blurted out without thinking about it." I said with slightly embarrassed tone and scratched back of my head.

"It is okay. I don't mind it, if it's you makes the joke. I just surprised for a moment, i didn't expect a joke from you." Alicia said with smile.

"Why not? Do i looking like serious person?" I asked calmly.

"Aren't you?" Alicia said and raised one of her brows.

"Why did you assume me like that?" I asked with confusion.

"You were so serious and cold when you saved me and helped me at night. That is the reason that i assumed you as a serious person. Am i wrong?" Alicia quietly asked the last sentence as if she is a child that waits her parent's scolding.

'She is really like a child.'

"Did you forget that i come to the meeting as a beautiful lady in dress? Did you think that i was very serious when i was cross-dressing?" I looked at Alicia as if i was looking at very dumb person.

"I thought that you were doing this for my brother. Didn't you say yourself at the restaurant?"

"Why would i cross-dress for Hywel. I am not gay. I did it because it seemed fun."

"You are saying this as if you did this before." Alicia said curiously. She was certain that i was doing this before.

"It is secret." I said and winked. Though my face and voice was still cold and because of that it must be ridiculous sight to see.

Alicia's lips went up and she was about to laugh but she stopped herself.

"Ahem! So where are you taking to me?"

"I don't know. I will just stroll around to find something interesting and you are coming with me to reduce your stress." I said and began to walk aimlessly while Alicia followed me with my side.
