Chapter 130: Date (1)

Chapter 130: Date (1)

~Jack POV~

Ok, I already made plans for today to finally take Ruby on that date in my free time since I asked her out while making plans.

Ah god, it was so embarrassing, but it needed to be done.

But I'm just casually just showing Ruby around my own private island since I haven't brought anyone other than her but… perhaps I should allow A2 and 2B to allow the rest of the Rose family to see the mother first before anything else.

Although Pyrrha has been acting weird lately I have seen what she has been feeling with me using <Telepathy> to hear her thoughts making things difficult for me to choose because she has feelings for me.

Me.

Me of all people.

I still can't believe it's a cutie like Pyrrha likes me a nobody out of nowhere…

It was embarrassing, to say the least, after reading her thoughts I decided to play aloof respecting her choice but I'm not sure how I go through this.

I never have been in this kind of situation maybe I should bring this up with Ruby on our date when I reveal it to her mother in the aftermath of our time together like a surprise.

*Knock*

*Knock*

"Hey, Jack are you ready!"

Hearing the voice of the sweet little cookie monster I opened the door with a gentle smile on my face seeing Ruby in her usual uniform as she asks me hesitantly, "Hehe… I hope you don't mind that I brought my usual Huntress uniform. I-I mean-n I could change to –"

*Che*

Kissing her on the cheek making her stop blushing being bold here with a smile on their face replying to Ruby holding her hand feeling nervous, "No worry little red? I hope you don't mind being this bold or should I have done it lightly –"

Stopping myself I couldn't help but blush at this with Ruby gripping my hand tightly before she responds with a blush on her face, "I-I uhh don't mind… I actually… don't mind you giving me some attention-n…"

Blushing at this I could only nod as we both began to walk out deciding to have a grand time in the Vale Kingdom City before heading over to my place and getting the choice to let Ruby enjoy herself…

Maybe I should just let Ruby know her mother first before her family…

However, I know in my heart that I need the rest of her family to know later when I reveal this info to her family or sooner…

Hmm…

Sigh…

I hope I know what the hell I'm doing deciding to let Ruby see her mother first before her family…

For that, we both went out in the morning before we could have the time to adjust changing our relationship status from friends to girlfriend and boyfriend…

I hope I don't fuck this up…

I wonder why people with harems or couples make this look easy while I'm worried about screwing this up.

I envy those types of people right about now…

*Thud*

Entering down to the Vale City using my Bullhead gaining some level ups for my <Riding> skill I see Ruby jump out as she spoke to me happily, "Whoa! That was really cool! I didn't know you could ride a Bullhead. It just seems you seem to know more stuff than most people?"

*Shiii*

Using <Deep Pockets> to return my Bullhead ride while we both began to walk replying to Ruby's question, "I just seem to always pick up new skills. Anyway, since this is our first date I promise to buy you anything you want. How about that?"

Ruby's eyes shined at this but soon stops asking if what I said was right for our date, "I mean… uh…? Is this alright? Is this how dates are supposed to go?"

Shrugging my shoulders at this I began to reply to Ruby holding her gentle hands as we both blushed at this, "I mean I have never been at one so… I thought it's usually the boyfriend to spend what his girlfriend needs on this date. At least I think that's general information anyway?"

That was the usual back in my own world on Earth?

Unless the customs in Remnant are completely different than the usual here…

We both looked at each other before we finally laugh at this with Ruby suggesting this first, "Ha! I guess were both dolts in dating. First time for everything right? Since you are the one to suggest… I would like to see what Roy has in stock?"

Nodding we both began to walk our path to Roy's weapons shop hoping that the old geezer related to Ruby's parents.

While we walk, I look over my Scroll to see if my 'spies' were texting me something about a certain group of people looking or searching us.

Good thing I sent this to them in advance.

They will be generously paid for their service it's great to have some allies in the least expected of places.

*Ring*

Entering the Roy weapon shop Ruby was the first to begin talking to Roy with a bright smile on her face talking to him, "Hey Roy! We're back to see what kind of weapons you have in stock today!"

Roy soon enters from the back with a grin on his face as he glances at the both of us greeting us right away, "Hello Ruby! Jack! You two are always welcomed heroes of Remnant. Ha! If only I could be there helping against that nasty starfish!"

Shying away from that rubbing the back of my head Ruby went ahead to glance at the new weapon parts as her eyes shined at them, "Oi! Is that the new custom Atlas Rifle Scope and mechas parts for shift weapons Dust infused?! Oh! Roy do you think we can get them!"

Roy then glances at Ruby with a raised eyebrow before asking the obvious question to us, "Sure… if you have the Lien little Rose?"

At this, I coughed into my hand getting Roy's attention and confirming I would be the one to pay for all of Ruby's stuff, "Ahem…! Sorry but I'll be the one paying for Ruby's stuff for today… after all, it wouldn't be right as… her-r… boyfriend…"

Roy's eyes widen at this while Ruby blushed at me confirming it as I was easily embarrassed how I address this to one of Ruby's family friends with him laughing hard, "Hahaha! So, I see my favorite customer is going on a dating spree eh? Bwahaha! In that case, take them as a moment of you two going out. No worries I have enough Lien to pay for them, missy. Just get to enjoy yourself and you boy I better hear you treat her right or else…"

He gave me a dirty glare knowing what happens with Ruby blushing trying to not take him for granted with me smiling at this little goofball… but she's my little goofball…

That we managed to get some of the items that Ruby wanted, and I made sure to pay listening to my girlfriend-d words even though Roy was trying hard not to laugh at our antics calling us true lovers.

But we weren't even in that stage of our life yet!

Sigh…

I swear these old-timers just want to get a rise out of me.

Plus I don't how I feel about having sex with Ruby being 15 years old even though it's an age requirement to apply in Remnant consent but for someone like me born on Earth the consent to have sex at 18 years old.

It just feels weird to do so.

With Ruby getting her items I saved them for her inside my <Deep Pockets> for the time being with her eyes shining on how convenient I am in shopping.

Heh.

There goes my freedom.

/////

Like that we left Roy's weapon shop in Vale while we talk about our encounter not daring to look each other in the eye, "So… that happened. Roy seems to be very supportive of our relationship… now if only we could get that lucky with your family Ruby."

Listening to hear her laugh nervously at that Ruby began to speak to me of her response in a nervous tone of her voice, "Hahaha…. Yeah… Uncle Qrow and Dad won't take this kindly… maybe they would agree since they know you or at least my dad does. You already made a great character with my Dad but… Uncle Qrow might be a tough one?"

Still holding hands wondering what to do with her uncle I'll deal with that when the time comes but for now, though I asked Ruby a curious question, "Say, Ruby… do you want to try my cooking. I bet I can make anything better than what Vale can come up with?"

Ruby turns her head towards me with her tilting innocently before replying to my question, "You can cook? I mean it would make this special right? But before that what should we do next?"

Smirking at that I replied to Ruby about my island and my projects getting her immediate attention immediately, "Oh? How about for our date we do some of my projects? I bet you are more interested in weapon testing and invention. I have some projects in mind to create unless, of course, you don't want to?"

She soon goes for a full-blown hug with her staring at me stary-eyed about the idea, "Wait! Really! Ah! I'm probably the first other people to see your own home! Sure, that sounds like fun can we go there instead!"

Nodding my head in agreement I was wondering when I was going to show this small project but if it works, I will finally have a financial means of providing myself with no money issues ever again.

Like that, I went along and agree to bring Ruby –

*Beep*

*Beep*

Hearing the sounds of my Scroll I immediately looked at the text with a few words saying 'were right behind you' while I roll my eyes and thanked having some spies at times like these.

Of fucking course we won't get a break.

Sensing someone or rather a group following us I might as well give them a show.

"Wwwwsssshhh!"

Immediately holding up Ruby grabbing princess style using <Bringer Light> on my feet seeing a flickering green light getting Ruby by surprise holding on to me while I jump high above the air catching the group by surprise with Ruby yelling, "AH! We are so high in the sky and – Wait! Why are you carrying me like that Jack? Please this is so embarrassing!"

I only smirked at Ruby her blushing at me for my antics while clearly avoiding Weiss, Yang, Blake, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren from following me.

Heh.

Nice try guys, but this is a private date.

And thank you my 'spies' for providing the info.

Hahaha!
