"May I take your order?" Syr asked. I smiled at her and placed my order. I asked for a meat dish, a pasta dish, and a drink. Since I was paying, Welf ordered a lot, too.
When Syr finished taking our order, she stared at me for a few seconds before leaving.
"What was that about? Why were you looking at her like that?" Welf asked.
"I just thought she was pretty. Can't I look at pretty women?"
"... She'll think you're a pervert if you keep staring at her like that."
"..." I was curious about what Syr would say or how she would act. I know she's not Freya, but she's a persona created by her.
But she didn't act abnormally. She seemed like an ordinary waitress.
"So, have you decided?" I stopped thinking about Syr and asked him.
"Decided about what? The magic sword? I already told you I won't make a magic sword for you. Go to another Hephaestus Familia shop to buy a magic sword."
"Alright, alright, I get it, you don't want money."
"It's not that I don't want money. I don't want to make a magic sword for you. I offered to make a normal sword, didn't I?"
"Why do you refuse to make magic swords?"
"I refuse to talk about it."
"Hm... I was just curious. Do you have some trauma or something? Maybe you're not confident in your talent?"
"Don't talk about things you don't know." Welf slapped the table and glared at me. "Just stop talking about it. I agreed to come to dinner with you, but I won't sit here and listen to you talk about something you don't know. Don't try to guess things about my life."
"Sure, sure, I'll stop. I was just curious. Look, our drinks are coming."
"..."
Chloe approached our table. Even though I had an ugly beard back then, she remembered me. "Oh, you're that guy. I almost didn't recognize you," she said after serving our drinks.
"You're the waitress from that time. Your name is..."
'Huh? Make her fall in love with me?' It's probably Lili on the other side of the door. But how am I supposed to make her fall in love with me? It's not easy, even with my [ Charming Aura ] skill.
If I try, it might be possible.
No, it has to be possible! It's a daily mission, so I must make her fall in love with me TODAY! Also, there's a penalty if I don't complete the mission. Yes, a penalty! It's the first time this has happened.
[ Penalty: Liliruca can no longer be added to the Harem if the mission fails. ]
This sucks.

I looked at the door for a few seconds and then opened it. Lili was standing there, wearing her usual clothes and hiding her ears and tail. However, she wasn't carrying her bag.
"Good morning..." she said, embarrassed.
"Good morning, come in. Did you come here to finish reading?"
"Ah... Yes..." Lili replied shyly.
"About that, I took the book to a library this morning. They're making several copies of the book to start selling it. I am going there now, would you like to come with me? I just need to wash my face before we go."
"Are you sure I can go with you?" Lili asked, excited.
"Of course. Wait a minute."
Lili walked around the room and sat in a chair. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. Then I put on my shirt since I had taken it off before sleeping. Maybe that's why Lili was so embarrassed.
"Let's go. It's not far from here."
"Okay."
"Do you want to hold my hand?"
"No, it's not necessary." Lili hid her hand and walked slowly beside me. We went to the library together, and I received some good news.
They started printing several copies of the first volume. They would also make sure to advertise the first volume throughout the city.
They are very committed to this!
