Chapter 58: The Endless Eight – Part 4

Having taken the helm while driving the ground dragon, the five found themselves in the largest city they would encounter on their trip to the festival, Costuul.

With Subaru and Lyra safely parking the ground dragon and carriage, Rem had taken care of securing their reserved rooms at the inn. But with the night drawing near, four of the five had grown rather hungry, having been forced to leave before dinner to make it to their lodging on time.

Beatrice: Betty will stay behind and read, I suppose. Spirits do not require nourishment in the same way humans do, so it's pointless to— KYAA!

Picking up Beatrice with no warning and spinning her about, Subaru gave the drill haired girl all the attention she didn't want.

Subaru: I can tell when you're being modest and right now. I can also tell that you're also dying for some grub. The smells of all the stalls must have really made you hungry— HMPH!

Giving him a magical blast away, Beatrice freed herself and patted her dress flat after returning to the ground.

Trying her best not to try the angered spirit's attitude further, Emilia tried mediating.

Emilia: Ummm, Beatrice... I think we'd all reeeeeaaaaally enjoy your company.

Stepping forward, Rem also voiced her approval.

Rem: Beatrice-sama, Rem is aware you do not have the need for food like we do, but it's a rather rare opportunity to have the chance to try something other than Rem's own cooking for you.

While still slumped up against the wall, Subaru put his hands together in a pleading manner.

Subaru: Pleeeease Beako, I promise you won't regret it.

Giving a look of steamed annoyance, Beatrice finally pouted and sighed, giving into the peer pressure.

Beatrice: Fine, I suppose! Betty will accompany you all.

Subaru: Yay! Beako is going out on the town!

Picking up the drill haired girl, Subaru spun her around again.

Beatrice: KYAAA! I will blast you again!

While Beatrice and Subaru bantered, Rem stepped next to Lyra, gently holding his hand and smiling at him once he looked at her.

Lyra: You look excited.

Nodding her head, Rem happily explained.

Rem: This is very much like a date, is it not?

Lyra: Usually those are reserved for just the two people, but I won't say anything if you wanna pretend that it is.

As Emilia got Subaru and Beatrice to leave, Rem winked to Lyra with a finger in front of her mouth, signaling for Lyra to keep the secret that this was a date for them.

As they set out into the street, the road just outside the inn was much more packed then it was at their arrival, somewhat off putting to the five.

As Subaru, Rem, and Emilia simply accepted it as reality, it was only Lyra that noticed Beatrice's initial hesitation forming in with the others into the crowd.

Seeing she was being noticed though, Beatrice scowled at Lyra.

Beatrice: J-Just what are you looking at, I suppose? I am perfectly capable of navigating through a few humans if that's what you're wondering.
