Chapter 60 : Silver-Haired beauty
"Ise, you are the nicest person that I ever meet." Lucy said in a sweet tone that made him blush.
"Thank you, so what are your plans for today Lucy?" He asked as he slowly stood up much to her protest.
"Well, honestly I didn't plan anything, so we could do whatever you want." She answered as she also stood up and seat on the edge of the bed.
"Hmmm... What do you say about you showing me around the castle some more, and then we could take a walk through the forest and maybe have a picnic on the meadows that I saw when I was having a walk before Grayfia showed up."
Issei asked her seeing her have a thinking face for a moment before she nodded furiously with a smile.
"That's perfect Ise, I love it. Though let's make breakfast first and then I will show you some more around."
"Works for me, I'm pretty hungry." Issei said and to reinforce his words, his stomach rumbled making him blush from embarrassment. Giggling a bit, Lucy excused herself as she went to get changed and to give Issei time to do the same.

As the both of them finished their breakfast and Issei's tour around the place he would be staying from now on, since he planned on being here a lot more. He couldn't help but be in awe at the things he saw.
Every room that Lucy showed him was as big as his house back in the human world, there were at least 4 or 5 swimming pools and at least the same number of game rooms full with every type of games you could imagine.
There was also a library, a recreation room whit a theater in it, servant's rooms and a training room that Lucy told him could handle Grayfia at full power with ease.
Issei though that meeting the servants that kept the place clean and tidy would be a freighting thing but he was pleasantly surprised when he saw that they were very grateful to him for breaking through Lucy's barriers and making her smile like she used to.
Though that, of course, didn't stop them from teasing them a little at seeing that Lucy was holding Issei's arm tightly and her head was on his shoulder all the time making both of them blush profoundly at that.
Though none of them could be angry at them since both of them enjoyed it and secretly hoped to be with other.
As the tour ended, they made their way to explore the nature that was calming and inviting to them.
As Issei suggested, they packed for a picnic though Lucy made sure that she was the one that made all of the food and prepared everything for it as she was trying to impress Issei at her cooking skills and for it to be a 'Thank you' to him for his hard work and for helping her.
After walking through the forest for about half an hour where they were talking and getting to know each other, they made it to one of the meadows that was on a small hill that wasn't too far from the castle.
Making themselves comfortable on the picnic blanket, Lucy brought out the food that she made and some drinks.
Looking at what was made Issei's mouth water. It looked like Lucy went all out on this one and he was sure as Hell that he was going to eat all of it.
"Wow Lucy, this looks delicious. You really went all out haven't you?" He asked the silver haired beauty that was leaning on his shoulder with a smile.
"Yes, I tried my hardest to make it. I hope it's good and that you like it." She answered closing her eyes as she was still leaning on Issei's arm while letting herself enjoy the nature and his presence to the fullest.
Until only a day before today, she would have never imagined herself being here and doing this whit anyone.
Though after yesterday and doing this now, she couldn't imagine doing this with anyone other than Issei, and she would be damned if she let Issei go and going back to her old self.
"If it tastes as good as it looks and smells then I have no doubt in my mind that it would be perfect."
Issei told her as he took a bite of the food and widen his eyes. Issei tasted all kinds of food and has experienced some of the best and worst foods out there.
But this, what Lucy made just blew his mind. It was perfect, it was almost melting in his mouth and made him want even more.
"T-this, this is the best food I ever tasted! Lucy, you are a fantastic cook!" Issei praised her getting a blush in response.
"T-thank you, like I said I tried my best as thanks for all of your hard work in helping me." She shyly answered him that made him smile.
Smiling, Issei patted her head causing the poor girl to have steam coming out of her ears from his gesture.
As Lucy opened her eyes she couldn't help but hug Issei and start eating the food that she made with him while watching the nature in front of them that made both of them at awe.

Returning from their picnic 'date', both of them found Grayfia and Sirzechs were waiting for them, with latter finally managing to apologize for that incident that made her desolate, much to his joy.
After that, all of them sat down whit a servant bringing the tea and leaving them to have a chat in private.
"So why are you here sister?" Lucy asked, but unlike her usual hollow voice, this one was full of emotion making the silver haired woman smile.
"I'm here to inform Issei that he is due to return home. He has missed school and he still has obligations to Rias as much as he hates it."
Grayfia answered her, making Lucy tense at the thought of Issei leaving her. But to her relief, Issei was planning on keeping his promise to her.
