Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 280 Truth and Dare with Emilia (3)

Emilia didnʼt know how to react to whatever Lith was doing to her. But since he didnʼt cross any lines, she didnʼt say anything to him and simply waited to see what he was going to do.

Lith, who was holding Emiliaʼs face, said in a serious tone, ”I know that youʼre hurt and I also know that itʼs because of me. But please understand, that situation wasnʼt in anyoneʼs control. I know your feelings were hurt and I am genuinely very sorry for that. But I promise, such a thing wonʼt happen again.”

Lith kissed Emiliaʼs forehead after saying so and hugged her back again. He placed his chin on her head and had her face rest on his chest again. Lith, this time instead of patting her back, caressed her hair as she lay in his embrace.

Emiliaʼs face was now flushed and her cheeks had a deeper shade of red on them, showing how embarrassed she was right now.

Emilia was genuinely very embarrassed and she didnʼt know that Lith would be such a sweet talker. She also, for some reason, really liked his gentle tone and his words. They definitely seemed heartfelt.

But, Emilia sighed as she knew that this was just a dare and not real. She kind of hoped that it was real but then again, it was just a passing thing she had.

Lith kissing her on the forehead was something she forgot about completely. It did cause her to feel a lot embarrassed but when she thought about other things, her embarrassment started disappearing.

After a few seconds of showing Emilia some love and care as an apology, Lith left her, leaving Emilia disappointed.

Emilia hoped that this continued for a bit longer but she knew that it wasnʼt possible since this was just a dare.

ʼWhat am I even thinking…ʼ

Emilia became self-conscious and thought to herself. It was weird how she was hoping to have such things be done to her.

She shoved aside those thoughts and said to Lith, ”three more rounds left.”

Lith nodded and the two began their game again. In the coming three rounds, there was only truth that appeared and Lith also won one of the rounds by sheer luck. But too bad for him since Emilia didnʼt get any dare.

The two, after playing the truth and dare game, decided that it was enough fooling around for today and explored the secret menu of the cafe.

The secret menu consisted of one traditional dish each of the main eight races and it was served in a special style which was what the hype was all about.

The duo tried it and they did find it nice, but they felt that these dishes were something that they would only eat just once in a while and not regularly. The duo preferred home cooked meals for themselves as that was their comfort food.

Lithʼs cooking had improved by a huge margin as compared to the time he was on Earth. He couldʼve become a chef in his previous life had he gone down the culinary path but due to reasons, he went to med school instead.

As for Emilia, food cooked by Lith tasted much better to her than the restaurant ones. She didnʼt know the reason why but she definitely knew one thing and that was that she could eat food cooked by Lith at all times. They were comforting and provided a feeling of warmth.

Of course, she didnʼt say these things out loud to Lith and kept it as a secret to herself. If these words were said out loud, before Lith, it would be her who would be cringed by it and feel embarrassment.

The duo tipped the maid that was with them at all times a good amount and left the cafe after they felt it was enough fooling around for the day.

Lith and Emilia walked out of the cafeʼs private room and at the reception, they found Sel using her phone and sipping on some bubble tea. The tea looked brown and had black pearls in it—the most common bubble tea.

Noticing Emilia and Lith walk out, Sel got up from her seat and said to Emilia, ”madam, we should hurry up. Youʼve spent more time and weʼre behind schedule on a few things. We need to urgently go.”ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Emilia sighed as she heard this. Work again…

She looked at Lith and said to him in a gentle tone but with a neutral face, ”today was a fun day. I enjoyed my time. Thank you.”

Lith smiled and said, ”keep visiting me from time to time if youʼre free. Just text or give me a call and Iʼll send you my location.”

Emilia nodded. ”I will and give me a call if you need anything.”

Lith smiled and nodded his head. He waved his hand to say good bye to her and Emilia left with Sel by teleporting away.

After they both were gone, Lith left to look for Jingmei Guild to raise his class.

…..

In a certain part of the world.

Below a mountain peak.

Lilith was playing chess with Mayzin and was guarding Arya so that she can have a successful ascension.

After Lilith made her move, she suddenly remembered something and took her phone out.

She typed in a few things on her phone and put it back inside.

Mayzin didnʼt see what Lilith was doing since her focus was on the chess game. It was very intense and she was put in a very difficult situation right now.

Lilith then turned her head to look at Arya and stared at her for a few seconds. She smiled and said softly, ”Itʼs faster than I thought.”

Mayzinʼs heard this and shifted her gaze to look at Lilith. ”Whatʼs faster?”

Lilith smiled and said looking at Mayzin, ”her speed at which she is trying to ascend.”

”Oh.” Mayzin said and nodded her head in understanding.

She could tell this as well. The elemental energy in the surroundings had increased by a huge margin since Arya began her ascension. Though it was getting concentrated, it didnʼt break the equilibrium yet. The place they were at had little to no elemental energy and it was like that for a vast expanse. That was the reason for it.

Mayzin then got back to concentrating on the game on hand and ignored Lilith.

Lilith stared at the chess board in front of her and thought to herself with a smile on her face,

ʼWould changing events would cause too many problems or no problems at all. I wonder which one would it be?ʼ
