"And they want to kill me for manipulating their beasts against the laws," Lucifer frowned. "Just awesome. They just keep coming."
"Well, there's a good news as well. The good news is that they can't actually come to this place. They can only use the beasts that are in the Summon Contract with the Summoners here to do their bidding. As long as you don't go back, you're perfectly safe."
"Moreover, they don't know that the sword is special. They just think it's an ordinary Sword. So as long as you don't go back there, no need to worry."
Eve released a tired breath after speaking for so long.
"And that is why I didn't think it was important to tell you about the sword for this meeting. That's not concerning after all."
Lucifer rubbed the back of his neck, looking up. "That old man fooled me. I lost such a great chance because of him."
"It's now too late. We can still attack."
"Nah." Lucifer shook his head. "Since I already wasted so much time, let it be. We'll wait until Andrim returns. After that, we will do it."
...
Back in the headquarters of the Warlock Council, Joan was sitting on the floor which was assigned to him. He couldn't help but rub his chin as he looked at the recordings of Lucifer's room.
He noticed Milena trying to say something, but Lucifer closed her mouth. That gesture of his made him a bit suspicious.
Moreover, after that, Lucifer didn't even check the rooms and left directly. Furthermore, no sound was coming from the badge of Lucifer, which had a mic inside.
"What are you up to, young friend?" He rubbed his chin, looking at the footage of Lucifer.
He closed the system and contacted someone.
"Yeah, it's me. Send someone to follow Lucifer. I want some eyes on him. No matter what he does, I want information about everything!"
"Yes, sir," The person on the other end responded.
...
"Someone just started following us," Kellian informed Lucifer. He was keeping an eye on the surroundings, using his other shadows. That helped him notice someone keeping an eye on him.
"He's been following us since he received a message. It seems like someone high is suspicious. They must have seen you talking to Eve as well. Time to get in damage control," he further added.
Lucifer scratched the back of his head in frustration. He knew it was only a matter of time. That's why he wanted to send Eve away after getting his answer, but if he sent her now, it'd be even more suspicious.
These people might even kidnap Eve to interrogate her. It was certainly time for some damage control.
He smiled brightly while wrapping his arms around Eve's waist.
"Don't act suspicious. Play along," he secretly said without moving his lips much.
Eve flashed another cheeky smile.
She pinched Lucifer's cheeks. "You are such a cutie pie. Thank you for agreeing to go on a date with me."
"Of course. How can I say no to such a pretty lady like you," Lucifer flashed a grin. His hand moved down, resting on the butt of Eve.
The man who was keeping an eye on Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Heh, the person is a pervert. It hasn't even been one day since he got here, and he's already trying to pick up ladies? And he's even succeeding?"
"A3, what is happening? What's the update."
"Nothing to update. The man is just picking up ladies in the market. Well, he seems to be pretty romantic. His two escorts are walking behind him like guards. Nothing suspicious going on. Still, I'll keep an eye on them."
"Look, a restaurant! Let's go on!" Eve told Lucifer.
"Hahaha, whatever you say, my darling." Lucifer turned to the restaurant and stepped inside.
Seeing their flirting, Milena started feeling jealous. She needed to make Lucifer fall for him. How was it possible with this lady? She could pull some moves even in such a serious situation.
"A table for four?" The waitress inside the restaurant asked as soon as Lucifer stepped inside.
"No. Two tables for two each. I only want to be with my sweetheart at the moment," Lucifer told the waitress. "My guards will sit at a different table behind me."
The doors again opened, and the person who was spying on Lucifer also walked inside.
Lucifer was given a window seat with Eve. Meanwhile, Milena and Arthur selected a different seat on the left of Lucifer's table.
The dark-haired spy sat on the right side of Lucifer's table, being in such a close proximity that he could hear their words.
"So, what brought you to this city, young man? It's not every day that I see handsome men like you here," Eve asked Lucifer as she picked up the menu.
"Had a business meeting in the city," Lucifer replied.
"So you'll leave tomorrow?" Eve asked. "Generally, I don't go for short-term dates, but with you, I must even be fine with a one night stand."
'Shameless woman.' the black-haired spy thought, rolling his eyes.
"Not really. I think I'll probably stay here for much longer," Lucifer replied. "How can I leave this city after meeting a lady like you?"
A waitress approached the two of them to take their order but couldn't help herself as she grew awestruck.
"Aww, you two are so cute. You're just like models. So beautiful. You know, we have a special deal going on for couples. If you'd be interested in trying it, you might not even have to pay any bill today. You can eat as much as you want if you succeed."
"Actually, we're not a couple yet. We just met today. And it's our first date. So you can call us half couple," Eve responded to the waitress. "Are we still eligible?"
"Hahaha, of course. Since you're on a date, it counts."
"Awesome. So what's the special deal?" Eve asked.
The waitress pointed towards a board in the distance.
"We will give you a jug with three liter strawberry milkshakes. If you two can finish that in ten minutes together, you'll win. But there's a catch. The jug will only have one straw, and you can only drink from that straw. However, a person can only keep his lips on that straw for one minute at most."
" After that, he must give the straw to others. So it's a team effort. And it'll test your teamwork and your appetite. Do you want to play?" The waitress asked.
"Three liters is a bit much. Maybe-"
"We accept."
