In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange awkwardness.

Texas suppressed his shame, turned his head away and pretended not to care.

"So...are you going to eat something?"

Maria paused slightly when she heard this, then the corners of her mouth curled up silently, as if she had noticed something.

She smiled, although it was very faint, but it was as charming as a flower swaying under the moon.

"Is this... your awkward invitation?"

Chapter 119 There is a place where

Life in Yharnam changed a lot for Maria.

For example, Maria herself didn't even know that her body had already been marinated by the incense in the hunter's cabin.

That was the incense that the doll specially prepared for Maria... to cover up the smell of blood that Maria didn't like.

And the scent of this incense is indeed very unique...it is not pungent or overpowering.

It slowly emanates from Maria's body. Normally, no one can notice it, but once they notice it, they will find themselves surrounded by this sweet scent.

The already agitated emotions will erupt again at this time.

Texas just stared blankly at Maria in front of him, listening to her half-smile words, his eyes wide open and unable to utter a word.

The breath that seemed to flow directly into the depths of her soul made her whole body tremble uncontrollably.

I did it myself!

I actually invited Ms. Maria!

In an instant, a strong sense of satisfaction filled her heart.

In her eyes, Maria is a great idol that is sacred and inviolable... But now, she actually invited her idol to have dinner together!

Even Lappland, who was more favored at the time, couldn't do this, right?

Lapland never invited Ms. Maria to dinner alone, right?!

Can Lapland do this?!

Texas' face flushed with excitement.

Maria, who was standing by, confirmed that she had taken everything with her and turned around silently.

"So... where are we going?"

"Eh?"

"Let's go eat... We need to find a place, right? Do you have any recommendations?"

Maria tilted her head and asked Texas.

Texas also reacted belatedly at this time.

What to eat

What should I take Ms. Maria to eat?

In an instant, she recalled her usual solution.

She usually eats breakfast at a roadside stall, or simply doesn't eat... But if she wants to invite Ms. Maria, such a place is definitely not suitable.

And the environment cannot be too noisy. Although Ms. Maria has never said it, it can be seen from her quiet actions on weekdays that Ms. Maria does not like places that are too noisy.

Also, the place should be a little private, after all, Lappland has been hanging around him a lot lately.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, that guy definitely wanted to see Maria.

After all, no matter how reserved they are, they will admit that both of them have been deeply influenced by Maria and hope to gain her approval sooner than the other.

Although Texas looks calm and noncompetitive, she is actually just as competitive as Lappland.

It's just not as obvious as the performance point.

So…where can you go for a stylish, quiet, private breakfast without being disturbed?

...a private room in a hotel?

Is it a bit strange to go to a restaurant for breakfast?

Texas is in deep trouble.

"What's wrong?"

Maria looked at Texas, who suddenly slowed down his pace, with a strange expression on her face.

"No...nothing!"

Texas quickly turned around and comforted Maria. Then she decisively took out the communicator and connected to the Penguin Logistics internal group.

[Texas: Where can I find a good place for two to have dinner at Exia, Croissant, or Dragon Gate? It's best to be quiet and not be disturbed by outsiders.]

[Want Seven Guns: Quiet? ]

[Croissant Grocery Store is open~: Want to eat?]

Inside Penguin Logistics, Exia and Croissant raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other on the sofa.

It wasn't just because the words Texas asked at that moment were strange.

More importantly, according to everyone's habit, doesn't Texas never speak in the group on weekdays?

Why are you suddenly asking this question at this time?

Almost instantly, someone noticed that something was wrong.

[My dream is to become a real idol! : Texas-senpai wants to take others out to eat, right?]

My dream is to become a real idol! : With whom?!

My dream is to become a real idol! Where?

[My dream is to become a real idol! : I'm free today, can I come with you?!]

In the girl's pink and white room, Sora's fingers tapped the phone screen frantically, his eyes blank.

If Texas had just asked where there was a suitable place to treat everyone to a meal, people might not have reacted... After all, Texas also has his own network of relationships, and treating others to a meal is not something that is difficult to understand.

But the problem is...

Suitable for two people?

A quieter one?

Won't be disturbed?

What do you want to do?

Why don't you call us!

Texas: Sora, just take a good rest. Idol work is tiring, so you don't need to worry about it.

Texas: So... do you know of any place that might fit my needs?

I want seven guns: I know a few good dim sum places, but they might just be opening at this hour.

Croissant Grocery Store is open~: Actually, I'm more curious about who you're planning to treat? Lapland? Or Ms. Maria?

In the Penguin Logistics room, two companions were communicating curiously.

They didn't suddenly become nervous like Kong, but they were definitely curious.

What exactly is the reason why Texas needs such an environment?

Texas: That's not easy to say.

Texas's expression was a little subtle.

It’s not that she was unwilling to explain the situation to Angelica and the others, but her main purpose today was to bring Maria to Rhodes Island for an Originium disease infection test.

Although she knew that no one at Penguin Logistics would really have a different opinion of Maria because of such a small matter, she did not want to add unnecessary possibilities if possible.

It's better to handle this kind of thing by yourself.

Texas had his own considerations, but his companions suddenly became excited.

"Texas...what on earth does she want to do?"

The corners of the Archangel's mouth could no longer be suppressed.

She could clearly feel that the status of Texas had changed a lot since Maria came to Penguin Logistics.

People who originally didn't like to dress up also began to clumsily learn how to put on makeup.

When I read on weekdays, I sometimes feel absent-minded, as if I am thinking about something.

Sometimes I would suddenly smile foolishly and pretend nothing happened...

Because of many precedents, Archangel almost instantly guessed that Texas must have gone out with Maria.

Only Maria can make Texas look like this!

and so……

Looking at the text message that was stuck in his hand, Angel of Exaltation chuckled a few times, then tapped his fingers...

[Want Seven Guns: There's a place I think meets your requirements...]

Chapter 120: Texas Daydreams

Human beings have three desires.

Shiver, sleep, and eat.

Of course, for a girl as sensitive as a cat like Angelica, she has another desire besides the three major desires.

That's curiosity!

Although it is almost 100% certain that the woman who made Texas treat her so cautiously must be Maria, such a thing remains an unknown unless you see it with your own eyes.

Especially after the other party made the current request, she was even more curious about what Texas was planning to do.

So in the end, Angel spent a little effort and asked someone he knew to arrange a private snack room for Texas and the others.

They rode their horses as fast as they could, arrived at the location early, and began to observe secretly.

……

"Is this right here?"

On the other side, Texas took the location told to him by Archangel and brought Maria to the dessert shop.

I have to say, this place really has the style that Angel likes... heavy rock music is embellished with the pink dessert unique to girls. To be honest, even if Texas was asked to think about it, it would be difficult for her to connect the two things together.

But the owner of this dessert shop thought of it and made it.

This really shocked Texas.

Maria on the side was curious.

"Is this...a place where we can have breakfast?"

I don't quite understand.

It’s okay that there are some normal snacks in the dessert shop, but to have a normal breakfast here... is still a bit difficult, right?

"Hmm... I think it's okay."

Texas had no way of saying that he didn't know whether it would work or not, after all, he had brought Maria here.

Even if it doesn't work, it has to work.

Taking a deep breath, she was the first to open the door.

"Excuse me... is there anyone there?"

"……some."

The first thing that catches your eye at the entrance of the store is the cashier counter.
