Chapter 17 - A Jealous Shima.

"You've already met Prince Drieshan, haven't you?"

Lylia asked without looking at Plifer.

"Yes. Twice, but only for about an hour each time. Why do you ask?"

Plifer replied and his eyes also saw Kei again sitting at the restaurant dining table with Freddy and Shima.

"Nothing. I was just wondering what Prince Drieshan is like."

Lylia said with a glance at Plifer's face.

"Oh .. I don't really know what Keishii is like either, but you'll find out when he comes here."

The two of them fell silent as they watched Kei through the magical sphere.

Plifer spoke up when reminded of something.

"We start now, Fullus must wait for us."

Lylia nodded.

'We're working together to keep the magician's world safe and so are you, Keishii.'

Plifer whispered to himself.

In the human world ...

Kei, Shima, and Freddy quietly continued eating their meals.

As usual, Kei kept reading his book while Shima and Freddy chatted happily together.

He had spent almost two months reading the thick magic book.

He only had a few pages left to finish.

Kei glanced at his two friends who were busy chatting, laughing.

He smiled a little before his eyes saw the crowd at the restaurant.

A group of girls sitting across the restaurant smiled at him.

Kei simply ignored them and continued watching the people around him.

Kei looked back at the thick book on the table next to the plate of spaghetti.

Shima and Freddy looked at Kei who had stopped reading the book when it appeared, the book had been closed by Kei.

"Have you finished reading?"

Shima asked sitting next to him.

"No, there are a few more pages."

Kei replied, Shima nodded understandingly.

"When you're done eating .. I want to go pay."

Freddy began to lift his back.

Shima and Kei nodded as they handed the money to Freddy.

Freddy greeted and hurried to the checkout counter.

Shima smiled at Kei who looked at her, shima smiled before wrapping her arms around Kei's arm and resting her head on his shoulder.

Kei just smiled seeing Shima's antics getting spoiled with him.

Kei gently stroked her hair.

Kei goes back to seeing the crowd in the restaurant again while waiting for Freddy's arrival.

The eyes of a group of women who the girl were now waving at him.

Kei looked at Shima immediately lifted her head from Kei's shoulder.

"Were they waving at you?"

Her voice sounded a little jealous.

Kei chuckled and gently pinched her cheek.

"Maybe they were waving at someone else."

"Besides..."

"...you're right here with me."

Kei is still smiling.

"Hmm... Then why were they looking at you?"

Shima pouted.

She knew Kei was handsome...

...but he was hers.

Kei looked at Shima again with a wide smile seeing Shima who started to show a jealous face.

"Don't worry."

"You're the only one."

Kei smiled before gently kissing Shima on the cheek.

Shima immediately covered her face.

She was blushing.

"Hey, save the romance for later."

"Some of us are still single."

Freddy joked, Shima covered her embarrassment and Kei just smiled happily.

"Let's go."

Freddy took them out of the restaurant.

Shima and Kei got up and followed Freddy's steps from behind.

Kei held Shima's hand following his steps.

Arriving at the front door of the restaurant, two girls came towards them.

Kei only glanced at them, Freddy and Shima saw two teenage girls smiling shyly at them.

"Excuse me..."

"Sorry for bothering you."

"I just wanted to give you this."

She held out a folded piece of paper.

All eyes were on them.

"What's that?"

Kei asked lazily.

"My phone number."

Reply to the girl with an embarrassed face.

Kei looked at Shima next to him who started to giggle.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm already taken."

He smiled and held up his hand that was intertwined with Shima's.

"Er ..."

The girl was silent.

"But..."

"My friend here is still single."

"His name is Freddy."

Kei smiled at the girl, Freddy who heard his name called by Kei he pointed at his shocked face with his index finger pointing towards himself.

".... Me?"

The girl smiled shyly and handed it to Freddy.

Freddy smiled and accepted the paper.

He immediately dialed the number.

A ringtone came from the girl's phone.

"That's my number."

"Save it."

Freddy winked at her before walking away.

"You're pretty smooth, huh?"

"Winking at girls already?"

Kei smiled at Freddy who also smiled.

Shima nodded at Kei's words.

"Well..."

"I want a girlfriend too."

Freddy smiled.

"See? I told you. You're more popular than me."

Kei teased.

"No. Kei is still more popular."

Shima immediately interjected.

Freddy put on a disappointed expression before flashing a mischievous grin.

"Then you shouldn't be jealous if he's more popular than me."

Freddy glanced back over his shoulder and smirked when he saw Shima pouting.

Kei couldn't help smiling as he watched Freddy tease Shima.

He was glad everything finally felt normal again...

...even if it was only for a little while.

For the past two months, no strange creatures had appeared in the city.

But Kei still couldn't forget the threat made against his father.

Would he really be able to protect everyone...

...when he returned five years later?
