Zero now is seen walking the street towards the lodging he was given for a time being he is the village of Orion, all of the people within the said village looked at the said swordsman is either greeting him with a friendly smile or greeting him with an envious hint in their eyes, but no one actually knows he is just an Avatar of a fifteen year old snivelling and cowering in fear boy who is sick of reality and is from another world

The silver haired swordsman now entered the house given to him for the time being there he was met by closed lights and a feeling of murderous intent towards the said swordsman

Without warning someone grabbed his hand and twisted it to a lock, but Zero countered and has his attacker in a head lock, that's when he felt the attacker's body was soft and not muscular, and..... TWO MOUNDS OF FLESH.......

"Holy crap!!!" then Zero turned the lights on and saw a very embarrassed Iris, "IRIS?"

"SHUT UP PERVERT!!!" shouted Iris

Iris now about to punch Zero straight to the face but tripped due to the fact that her MOUNDS shook back and forth that made her off balance and before she landed on the floor the said male caught her in a bridal carry (Iris is still wearing her clothes, her battle attire, without her cape)

"Watch out" Zero said as he lifts her up and place her on the sofa, "please be careful next time and one other thing, I'm not a pervert"

Iris is now blushing with a face as red as a tomato, and is now covering her blushing face and is murmuring a few words that is not audible

"Tea or coffee?" asked Zero

"Huh?" Iris said with a question mark on her face

"Tea or coffee?" Zero asked again now walking towards the kitchen

"T-t-tea" stuttered Iris, still blushing

Zero moved closer and placed his forehead on the said female's forehead, with this action steam somehow blow out of her ears, when Zero moved away from the female, Iris had a face filled with a hint of sadness and her eyes emit a longing of love

"No fever what so ever and you're not in pain as well" he said, "maybe a spot of tea will fix you up"

Zero then proceeded to the kitchen and after a while he has now a cup of tea and a mug of coffee with him and handed one to Iris with a radiant smile

'This boy, why is he making my heart a flutter?' iris thought with a faint pink hue on her face, "thank you for the tea"

"That's a bit of a surprise!" Zero said in a tone of shock, "you were very prideful air when we first met"

"SH-SHUT UP!!!" Yelled Iris now even redder, "I-I'm not that prideful"

"I know" Zero then sipped from his mug, "It's from the lore of Rhongomynaid, or should I say its flavour text"

"Flavour text?" Iris asked a bit surprised

"According to legends" Zero paused as he drank most of his coffee and for effect, "the legendary lance of a powerful and legendary king that has the power to defeat a fully grown elder dragon in one blow and to pierce the very fabric of time and space, also the lance gives the buff of 'Lion's Pride' that strengthen the user as long as the sun is out"

"I'm impressed!" Iris then smiled as she has now a cocktail of emotions inside her, "no one in my family has the time to read and research about the weapons there using, except me, that's why I am good at using Rhongomynaid due to....."

"Running more than one simulation or image training more than once while holding your weapon, right?" Zero finished

"H-how......?" Iris asked wide eyed

"Done that as well" Zero remembered his past training Tenshi Muuho

"No one would even dare do that!" Iris said as she puts a finger on her chin, "are you of the people who would take more than a few hours to sharpen or even clean your weapon? Or take the time to inspect it for optimal use? Or be the one to temper it yourself?"

Iris asked all this question nearing the silver haired male, the said male looked a bit uncomfortable due to the said female is very near (and emphasis on very) his face, making the said male blush

'Whoa! She smells so good, like a sweet strawberry' Zero thought as he looked up and one thing happened, Iris was so near him they both accidentally kissed........ On the lips..........

They both broke the kiss and is now spacing each other, an awkward atmosphere has now been established and, is blushing their heads off

"S-sorry about that" Zero stuttered

"I-I-It's fine" Iris then lifted her cup with a shivering hand

Then someone knocked on the door, Zero stood up and see who it is, while Iris calmed down a bit but she starts to remember what happened a few minutes ago, she would blush madly, Zero opened the door and saw Yoze holding a pot of what I can tell..... Homemade curry, or is that steak, I think soup?

"Good evening sir Zero" said a blushing Yoze

"Good evening as well Yoze" replied the silver haired male

"I've cooked you my specialty" she said as she mention the pot she is holding

"Let's talk inside" Zero motioned her to move inside, "what did you made?"

"Sweet and spicy curry" answered Yoze with a smile

"Called it" said Zero with a smile

"How did you...." Yoze stopped as she saw someone she is angry with

When she rounded at the corner she saw Iris, this made Yoze's mood to go sour, and this also made Iris to make her go sour after her blushing fit

"Why is she here?" the blonde asked with a hint of venom in her voice

"She is here due to my request" Zero said with an intent of blocking there ill animosity

Iris just scoffs as she glares at Yoze, both female has now has very much hatred within one another, Yoze puts the pot on the table and now she is placing some plates on it but only places two plates as she gestures Zero to seat and eat but ignores Iris

"Iris" the silver haired male gestures her to sit beside him, "come join us"

"I think I'm not welcomed beside you Zero" Iris said while glaring at Yoze

The said male gave out a heavy sigh, he got up, and took another plate for Iris, and then he halved his portion of the meal

"Y-y-you don't need to go that far Zero" said Iris with a blush

"Nonsense!" Said Zero with a smile, "you're a guest here not a prisoner"

This made Iris blush and Yoze to stare in shock

"Plus we are in the presence of food, my mom always says to put grace first before arguments" said Zero, "so let's stop this childish drabble and eat dinner"

Both Yoze and Iris stopped their childish arguments and sat down on their chairs by the table, and they ate their dinner. Yoze keep glancing at both Iris and Zero with one question in mind: 'are this two's relationship?'
