Ban frowned but a moment later, the door immediately opened.
Emilia emerged from behind the door with her head lowered to the ground.
"Pretty…"
Ban could help but utter those words the moment his gaze landed on her figure. His eyes stayed at her perky chest for a good few seconds before ultimately settling on her face.
She was wearing a gorgeous black and green waitress dress. It was not that revealing but it definitely enhanced her sexy figure even more. The curves on her waist as well as the plump on her chest was very apparent to the naked eye.
At this point, Ban could not help but praise how gorgeous she was. Although that cold and silent aura that she always emits was still there, it was no longer as strong as before just like the time when she seems to be ignoring his existence.
Ban thought just how drastic her change was in a single day. But unbeknownst to him, this change was actually not drastic, it's just that this was the first time he experienced it from her, hence the reason why he thought it was vastly different than her normal treatment to him.
In a single day, their relationship had become closer after that life and death battle as well as that kiss after all.
Her head was lowered and in one look, Ban could see her face becoming red from his bold gaze.
"T- thank you! You look great as well…" Emilia smiled and said a second later after her gaze landed on him.
As she could not choose which dress to wear and Ban was already outside, she just ultimately settled on the waitress dress that they would only wear during a big event such as when she performed on the platform. Who knew that Ban would actually also choose to wear the same set of clothing?
They still wanted to help Kuys and the other waitresses around, wearing such outfits was not odd at all.
"Let's go?" Ban asked gently as he offered his shoulder for her to link to, just like when he was escorting her from before.
Emilia gently nodded her head in response. She pushed back the messy hair towards her ear before she linked her arms with Ban's.
Eva was still atop Ban at this moment. She just observes them silently, as if she's waiting for Emilia to have just a little bit of 'slutty' vibes so that she could have a 'reasonable' excuse to shoo her away.
However, Eva would only be disappointed in the end. Emilia's feelings for Ban were genuine. It was something that has been growing inside her for years. Joana's impulsive and daring actions could not compare to it at all.
Kuys has been supporting her ever since he knew.
The moment their arms linked together, they immediately started walking downstairs.
They purposely slowed down to savor this rare moment.
After a while, their arms separated as they were now near the first floor. They're afraid that Kuys might see and knowing him, he would surely tease them for it.
None of them talked about it but it has become a tacit agreement between the two that they would not tell Kuys about what happened for now. It's still early.
However, the reason was actually just a simple one. They were just afraid of being teased.
And besides, they were also afraid that they might cause trouble for the customers, especially Emilia's die-hard fans.
However, the moment the two of them emerged from the stairs, they immediately widened their eyes as they looked around them.
The first floor was empty and desolate. It was very quiet that one might hear the sound of a pin getting dropped to the ground at this moment.
The lively first floor that they left earlier was no longer there. What replaced it was just the neatly arranged chairs as well as the empty silence.
In the counter, the two of them could see Kuys's back facing towards them. As usual, it seems that he was wiping a glass with a piece of dry cloth.
Ban and Emilia looked at each other before they walked towards Kuys.
And the moment they did so, Kuys immediately turned around as if he sensed their arrival.
A smile hung on his face as he invited them over.
"Grandpa Kuys, where're the customers and the other waitress?" Ban asked in curiosity.
This place has been packed by people earlier before they left. But they somehow vanished the moment they returned?
It's still early so the Kuys Bar shouldn't be closed yet.
"Oh, I think they have something to do. They left one after another earlier just after you guys went upstairs, and as for the other waitresses, I told them to rest early as we don't have any customers anyway…" Kuys answered naturally.
The aura he emitted right now as well as earlier was vastly different.
One was a fathomable master while the other one was an amiable grandfather.
"I see, how strange…"
"Just forget about it Ban-kiddo, anyways, settle down and I'll serve you guys your dinner in a minute…"
"Alright!"
And with that Kuys become busy cooking their dinner.
He would secretly glanced back from time to time to observe Ban and Emilia.
And after a few moments, he could confidently say that they have really become closer. Although they did not talk too loudly, for someone like Kuys, hearing their conversation was quite easy.
Although they only talked about their happy childhood days, Kuys was still happy as it was already a big step towards the ship.
His mood became better all of a sudden and he somehow forgot about the chaos that will occur in the city any moment from now.
The ship's sail had already been set and it was now only waiting for the wind to blow.
However, unbeknownst to Kuys, the ship has already actually sailed.
Sometime later, the three of them suddenly heard hurried footsteps from the Kuys Bar's entrance.
They thought it was a customer but when they turned around, they were surprised that it was actually just Mario and his plump belly.
