Ch 23 : Date with Rena

Uh!

Ray's eyes glowed in excitement looking at the items he got from the gacha.

"Aina, hurry up and explain to me how this spirit beasts tag works."

Ray hadn't seen the spirit beasts tag before, but somehow he git a hunch on how these tags work and it was a super useful item.

[ Host didn't need to hurry, the item won't leave the host. These spirit beasts tag were used by the ancient Daoist people to capture the spirit beasts. Normally, the spirit beast would need to submit first before they could be captured with this item. But this spirit beasts tag came from Aina so it would be normal to be superior. The host only needs to defeat the spirit beast or make it swear allegiance to capture it in the spirit beast tag.]

" Is it just me or the level of fantasy in this game was way over the top?"

[ Hehe, the host doesn't need to worry. Actually in the host's world before. The game developer has released up to the fourth sequel of the game, where the later series give more emphasis about the spirit beasts awakening and became very popular because of its half RPG half eroge genre.]

" ... So, do you mean that this world would soon undergo awakening and spirit beasts will appear everywhere??"

This fact was way out of Ray's logic. He thought that he was transmigrated into a world similar to earth, where his most dangerous opponent was just a normal human.

But then, he was told that this world would soon have its awakening, making spirit beasts and humans living together, and also massively increase the dangerous level of this world.

[ The host doesn't need to worry though. If this world was following the game timeline, the awakening should happen in another 2 or 3 years. With Aina's ability, the host should already be at the top of this universe by then.]

" Well, you're not really wrong. Whatever will be, let it be later. First, let's focus on the date with Rena tomorrow."

Ray throws the spirit beasts thing into the back of his mind. It's no use to worry about that things if he isn't capable to live until the time of awakening. Skye's crisis was near and he could lose his life if he didn't prepare carefully.

With all being said, Ray switch off his phone and went into his sleep. Preparing his mind and body for tomorrow's date.

The next day

In a park in the middle of the city, Ray was waiting for Rena in his best outfit. He put on his most expensive T-shirt, coupled with a black jacket and a pretty expensive watch on his wrist.

The date was in another 30 minutes, but he decided to arrive early to show his sincerity as he read in a book that girls like men who could display their sincerity and affection.

Not long after, A beautiful girl in a ponytail came to Ray's side. She is wearing a white Blouse with Relaxed Jeans. The white color from the blouse increases her kind and pure aura while the jeans were perfectly fit with her long legs, giving the impression of classy beauty.

[ Name: Rena Vermillion ]

[ Charm value: 155 ]

[ Intelligence: 152 ]

[ Affection (host): 55 - I wish he could pay more attention to me.]

[ Affection (Skye): -30 - A selfish jerk.]

[ Special skill: - ]

[ Heroines halo: 350 ]

[ Description: One of the main heroines in Super Duper Love Plus Ultra game]

.

Ray looks at Rena's stats and was pretty confident in himself. A 55 affection was pretty high, it could be interpreted as a crush to him. With that, he could be more active and he should get more affection points from Rena.

" Sorry for making you wait so long."

Rena came to Ray with a slightly apologetic expression, but it didn't hide the joyful tone in it. She was pretty happy when she saw Ray has arrived earlier than her. This means that she wasn't the only one that looks upon this date.

" It's okay, it was worth to wait for such a beautiful girl."

With simple words, a blush instantly filled Rena's face. Rena had wanted to retort, however, Ray didn't give her any chance. He took Rena's hand and brought her to the first place on their date.

" Ah-"

Rena said weakly with some anxiousness, still she didn't even try to push Ray's hand away and let him continue holding her hand.

They started their dates and toured many parts of the city. From the ice cream shop, they frequently visit to a movie theater to watch a horror movie together.

The horror movie was Ray's idea. He pretty much like horror and the thought of Rena clinging to him while being afraid just intensify his desire to watch the horror movie.

Rena was a bit reluctant at first. She was kind of afraid of ghosts and has never been into a movie like this.

With some persuasion, finally, Rena succumbed. She followed Ray into the theater and watch the movie with him.

As he expected, the movie was a bit too much for Rena. She clenched Ray's hand tight and won't ever let go. Some of it even a bit exaggerated, when one of the jumpscares comes, Rena jumped and clings to Ray like a koala.

.

2 hours later, the movie eventually comes to its end. Rena was going outside the theater, holding Ray's hand with a pale face.

" Remind me not to ever watch that kind of movie anymore." Rena looks at Ray with an annoyed tone.

Ray was smirking heavily, looking at the normal kind and cheerful girl become like this.

" Hehe, you know that even your scare face was so beautiful for me." Ray smilingly stated.

" Hmph, glib tongue." Rena was cussing at Ray, but the smile on her face was so vibrant making it more like she was flirting with Ray.

The two were drowned in this atmosphere for an unknown amount of time.

Ray looked at Rena intently and slowly moved his face closer.
