Chapter 156 – Don’t hurt her.
I headed towards the place where we would have our "date." It's better not to call it a "date" since Tiona's sister will join us. It's better to call it a get-together.
"Here." I had never been to this place before. It was a small bar, despite having two floors. There were a few customers; Tiona and Tione were at the counter, each with a drink.
"Good evening." I approached the two of them from behind and touched their backs.
"Luan! You finally showed up; I was getting a little impatient." Tiona said, with a smile on her face. Unlike her, Tione wasn't as excited. She greeted me coldly.
I smiled bitterly and sat next to Tiona. She was seated between me and Tione.
"Excuse me, could you bring me a drink? It can be a strong drink, preferably with a sweet flavour."
"Sweet? You have good taste." The man behind the counter laughed and started preparing my drink. "So, what are we going to do today? Do you want to drink and talk, or do you plan to go somewhere else?"
"Well, I thought you wanted to talk to my sister. But if you want, we can go somewhere else."
"Your sister doesn't seem very interested in talking to me, despite coming here."
"..."
We were whispering so that Tione wouldn't hear. Then, Tiona nudged her sister and whispered something in her ear. Tione then looked at me with cold eyes.
"I came here to talk to you about Tiona."
"Eh?" Upon hearing her sister say that, Tiona looked surprised. "You didn't tell me about this!" She complained.
"What do you want to talk about? Do you want to know if I'm deceiving your sister, like Ais suspected? I've already said that I'm not doing anything like that."
"It's not that; I know you're not doing it. I'm here to ask if you're serious about her. I don't want Tiona to suffer, so I must know if you won't break her heart."
I looked surprised at Tione. This is a conversation I didn't expect to have. But if she wants to know if I'm serious about Tiona...
"Of course I am. I love your sister. I'll stand by her until she gets tired of me."
"!" Tiona's face turned red; I'm sure she was about to faint. "Don't say things like that! I'll never get tired of you!" Tiona said it out loud, and everyone looked at her.
Fortunately for her, there weren't many customers.
"Here you go." The man handed me my drink and winked at me.
"Alright, I understand. But know that if you do anything to hurt her, I won't forgive you. Now, if you'll excuse me."
"What? Are you leaving already?"
"I don't want to interrupt the two of you. Besides, I'm tired; I want to lie down and get some sleep." In truth, she seemed a little drunk. I don't know how much she had been drinking.
How long had they been waiting?
Speaking of which, she's only 17. Can she drink alcoholic beverages? It's better not to overthink it.
"So..." Tiona intertwined her fingers and started fidgeting with them.
I drank the drink served by the man in one go and then threw some coins on the counter. After that, I held Tiona's hand and pulled her out of the bar. "Shall we go to an inn?"
Tiona nodded lightly.

I walked together with Tiona as the cold wind blew against our bodies. It was night, and parties were happening everywhere, even though it was cold. 'It's just like on Earth. Cold weather won't stop a party with friends.'
This is probably the case in every world. People naturally love to have fun.
"Isn't that inn over there the same one we went to last time?" Tiona pointed to a dark building.
"Yes, but it looks like it's closed. Maybe the inn went out of business or something."
"I don't think that's the case. Maybe something happened to the owner. Do you want to ask someone about it?"
"We're in the middle of our date and going to an inn to have sex. Do you want to interrupt this moment by worrying about that?" I hugged Tiona's waist.
"Wah~~" She made a cute sound and continued walking by my side. No one seemed to care about us, even though we were well-known adventurers. Maybe our relationship isn't as "explosive" as I expected.
We walked for a few more minutes and arrived at an inn I had seen before but had never entered.
The number of inns in this city was no joke. You could easily find one on every corner. I wonder if they all manage to make money. "But considering the number of people in this city, I think they all make good money."
We entered the reception, and the middle-aged woman behind the counter gave us a mischievous smile as soon as she saw us. Her smile wasn't pretty, you know?
We got our key and went upstairs. Some men on the first floor couldn't stop staring at Tiona, so I glared at them, emanating a killing intent.
I'm sure their hearts almost stopped. They were all drooling.
And after that, I grabbed Tiona's butt as we walked to our room. I noticed that Tiona's breathing had become a bit heavier. As soon as we entered the room, Tiona completely lost her composure.
She jumped towards me, crossing her legs behind me and forcing me to hold her in my arms.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.
