Adele might not be very perceptive. She was the type to get immersed in what she was doing. But Jormungandr had already noticed Celeste’s presence. Even without looking, Jormungandr could perceive everything in this area, observing Celeste’s every move and every smile from all angles and directions. This ability was a bit like a four-dimensional being, able to break through spatial limitations and observe everything inside and out. Fortunately, she couldn’t arbitrarily create, change, or control time, otherwise she would truly become a four-dimensional being. In a sense, a four-dimensional being was like the legendary creator.

After a brief observation, Jormungandr understood that the person Adele was waiting for was the blonde vampire behind her. Thinking of this, a hint of jealousy arose in Jormungandr’s heart. But then, that jealousy dissipated like smoke as she recalled some regrettable past events.

Jormungandr wouldn’t forget that to this day, she still bore the original sin of “envy.” She, who hadn’t yet atoned for her sins, being able to have the opportunity to accompany Adele again was already a blessing from God. But it felt a bit strange to hear the word “God” from the Hell Queen’s mouth. After all, even the “Lord” worshipped by angels was just her enemy, definitely not qualified to be called “God.” So was there an unspeakable being above her and the “Lord,” a true “God”? But if He truly existed, why hadn’t anyone, any race, found any trace of Him to this day? He seemed to be absent from ancient history.

The most powerful contained object discovered by the human high-ups so far was the “Lord” worshipped by angels. They gave Him the codename Lord of Heaven, seemingly the polar opposite of the Hell Queen.

“Your friend is here, Adele. I think I should leave,” Jormungandr said with some reluctance, but still stood up gracefully to say goodbye. It seemed that after thousands of years of loneliness, she had also matured a lot.

Adele finally reacted! Did Jormungandr mean that Celeste had arrived? Then why didn’t she come directly to her? The girl looked up in confusion and saw Celeste standing near the restaurant’s main entrance, looking hesitant, behind Jormungandr. She was even hiding behind a potted plant at the entrance, as if afraid of being discovered by Adele.

“Celeste!” Although Adele wasn’t perceptive, not having the ability to see and hear everything around her, the girl’s way of expressing her feelings was direct. She would call out to the person she saw. So before Celeste could act, Adele had already left her seat and come to her side.

Jormungandr brushed past them with an ambiguous smile. She gave Celeste a deep look, but Celeste refrained from looking at her, showing her last bit of stubbornness in this way.

After Jormungandr left completely, Celeste lowered her head, her golden hair drooping, looking a bit dejected, and called out, “M-Master...”

It would have been fine if she called her Master normally, but on a date like this, coupled with Celeste’s act of hiding pitifully after seeing her chatting with Jormungandr, Adele felt an inexplicable irritation.

Celeste! Idiot, you stupid dog! Do you really think I’m such a fickle woman in your eyes? That I can’t help but flirt with beautiful big sisters even while waiting for you on a date? Is this how you see «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» me! Why can’t you trust me a little more... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Actually, Adele wasn’t unaware of Jormungandr’s affection for her. But she had already decided in her heart that even if Jormungandr asked for her contact information, she would politely refuse. After all, Ms. Jormungandr was just an ordinary fashion designer. It wasn’t appropriate to involve her in the world of vampires. This could be seen from the fact that Adele had never dated an ordinary human. So Celeste, that idiot, what was she worried about!?

Adele gripped Celeste’s hands tightly. In front of Adele’s imposing aura, Celeste didn’t show any of her usual mature charm, instead looking a bit timid and withdrawn.

“...I’m sorry.” She apologized, but the idiot still didn’t know what she was apologizing for.

Adele could tell at a glance that Celeste thought she was apologizing for interrupting her chat with Jormungandr and making her leave. Or perhaps it was because she called her Master in public, violating the rules Adele had set for her before.

But...weren’t those things no longer important!? Celeste wasn’t stupid. She should understand how important her position was in Adele’s heart. It was no longer something that could be simply and superficially described as “blood slave,” but rather, lover, even beloved. And this date was specifically with her.

Celeste was actually the most loyal dog who didn’t mind Adele having a harem. But undeniably, when she excitedly rushed to the restaurant and found another woman sitting in what should have been her seat, her hands and feet turned cold, and her heart sank. The silly dog was just a bit confused and sad.

At this time, she needed a forceful kiss to wake her up! Adele no longer cared that they were in public, nor that love between girls was still not accepted by society in this era. She suddenly lifted Celeste’s head and, tiptoeing slightly, closed her eyes. The surrounding gasps and exclamations no longer mattered to Adele.

She was occasionally clumsy with words. She could deceive anyone at the beginning, a little green tea who wouldn’t give up until she achieved her goal. But time had changed too much. She had given up on explaining, putting all her feelings into this kiss. Adele thought, Even if Celeste is stupid and slow, her body should be sensitive, right?

A long time passed, or perhaps not that long. But for those in love, a glance could be an eternity, a kiss forever.

Adele and Celeste finally ended their long kiss. Celeste’s eyes were no longer confused, but clear and shy, filled with attachment and care for Adele. As for Adele, her cheeks were flushed. She snorted tsundere-ly and cutely, then took Celeste’s hand and quickly fled the restaurant. If they didn’t run, would they continue listening to the gossip!? Adele could handle it, but she didn’t want Celeste to feel sad or get angry at other people after hearing it.

As for the reserved table, she could cancel it with her phone. The deposit could be considered a penalty fee. The restaurant didn’t lose anything, even making a small profit. Anyway, Adele didn’t care about the location of the date. The truly important thing was always the person you were with.

“Still jealous, stupid dog?” Adele gripped Celeste’s hand tightly.

“N-No more.” Celeste felt the caring force in the girl’s palm, her heart racing.

“Really...” Adele looked a bit helpless, but she quickly let it go.

“Well, whatever.” If she continued to dwell on it, she would be the fool in this relationship. Wasn’t there a saying that the one who cared more in a relationship lost more? But Adele felt that in true love, there was no winner or loser. But it was true that your IQ would drop.
