482 Learning how to have fun.

The death of the black tortoise marked the end of the beast’s attacks on the humans. This allowed the expansion of the city walls to go unhindered for the next 13 days.

After it was over, a special group of ash corps were sent to the mine to extract what was left of the double-layered mines.

The process was dangerous because mistakes could lead to further explosions and there were still the chances of attacks from beasts. So the mining process was estimated to take around a month.

Camilla’s unit as well as other ash corps units had been immediately redeployed to protect and assist in the mega constructions taking place all around the city.

As for Blake and other special ops units, they had been placed on standby to tackle any problems that might occur especially from external factors like gangs.

The expansion of the city walls enabled a lot of things. The first was space for new constructions like themed parks, a city park, more hospitals, and so on.

The second was that it allowed the city to rearrange the city, literally. With the help of the earth element and other magical devices, they were able to move buildings to different locations.

The slums was moved out of the eastern part of the middle region and moved to the now bigger outer layer of the city. This created a lot of space in the middle region and also opened up a lot of land for investors and anyone that wanted to start a business or build anything.

One would say the movement of the slums would further make the commoners feel even more marginalized, but prince Bryon hadn’t just moved them for moving sake.

…..

Not only did the area have upgraded and affordable medical facilities, but he had upgraded some of their houses. Also, he passed a bill that increased the minimum wage and the working conditions of the commoners.

For the ash corps, not only had more personnel been hired but their wages had also increased by a substantial amount and that was apart from the massive bonus they would get for such a hectic period.

Also, the number of teleportation points in the city had increased, meaning faster reaction time to crimes.

In general, Calton city had undergone an upgrade so massive that it made Blake wonder how much was the empire’s so-called excess resources that were distributed to the winner of the regional competition.

…

The city upgrade had taken a little above 3 months even with the help of earth magic and other magical devices, and immediately after that, a good number of the ash corps had gone on vacation.

“What are your vacation plans?” Camilla asked as they came out of the briefing hall.

“I need to break into the peak of the hero realm, still looking into the reason for the beast tide. Also, I wanted to…”

“I meant fun vacation plans.” Camilla facepalmed as she interrupted him.

“That was what I was listing out before you interrupted.” Blake said causing Camilla to shake her head in helplessness.

“Guess I have to teach you how to have fun and most importantly rest.” Camilla let out a helpless sigh.

“What do you mean by that?” Blake said with furrowed brows, but Camilla ignored him and continued.

“The good thing is that I will be staying with you for 2 weeks.”

“Are you sure about that? What about not letting your family know about us?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.

Although he didn’t care what people or the Karius family would think, he wasn’t too sure that he was ready for the problems that might come because of it.

“Yes, I am very sure. Besides once I state that I am on vacation then they wouldn’t care about me, especially since it’s none of their business.” Camilla explained. ｎｏｖ𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

“If you say so.” Blake said.

They both parted ways to speak to their teams before finally meeting on the ground floor.

“So, what’s the plan?” Blake asked Camilla as he leaned on a pillar not too far from the entrance.

“I am starving so let’s go get something to eat.” Camilla replied.

“What happened to the cafeteria?” Blake asked in a confused tone.

“I prefer eating where I don’t have to worry about people staring and trying to eavesdrop on our conversations.

‘Why will I care about stares when I get free food.’ Blake mentally shook his head before following her out of the building and boarding a carriage.

“Don’t you think we are underdressed for a restaurant?” Blake couldn’t help but ask as he looked at his black leather pants, white t-shirt, and black leather jacket.

“You don’t have to worry, it’s nothing too fancy.” Carmilla reassured him.

In less than 20 minutes the carriage had stopped in front of a beige collared 3-storey building. Blake paid with a silver coin and told the driver to keep the change.

“Didn’t know you were so generous.” Camilla said with a smirk.

“What do you mean by that?” Blake asked once again but she ignored him again.

“Welcome to Ace of Steak.” The Host said with a light bow as he gestured them in.

Just like Camilla had said, the restaurant wasn’t anything fancy. The restaurant didn’t have a live band or fancy decorations, rather it had well-spaced walnut tables and a lovely atmosphere.

Immediately they took a table, they went through the menu and shortly after a waiter arrived.

“Good evening, what will I be serving you?” The waiter asked as he pulled out a pen and jotter.

“I will be having the creamy steak fettuccine and the crock-pot pepper steak.” Blake said.

“I will have the same thing.” Camilla said.

“What would you like to drink?” The waiter asked.

“We would take the Noche Cava.” Camilla said with a smile.

“Why the stoic expression?” Camilla asked as the waiter left the table.
