Chapter 99 - 99. Date (2)

"No, I really don't need 'this stuff'...?!"

"Eisel, I think you're saying it because you don't know, but it's important to give a date a unique atmosphere."

"Ha..."

Despite Blanc's kind coaching, Eisel only let out a sigh.

Hehe, to be ashamed... Look where you are."

Blanc said that and approached Eisel, who was staring at the full-length mirror.

Eisel, who was turning his head away to avoid Blanc's gaze in the mirror, blushed as if he was ashamed of his appearance.

"This is much better than the drab academy uniform."

Blanc, who was arranging Eisel's hair, said.

The dress she was wearing, even her ribbon tied in her hair.

It was overflowing because it was not enough to change the image.

"As expected, you're our social affairs director?"

Blanc gave her black-handed fraternity a thumbs up and winked at her. He was one of the people Blanc called for Eisel.

"Heh... I know all the styles that are trending on the continent recently.

The head of the social affairs club with a satisfied smile approaches Eisel, raising his mustache that has grown 'like a gentleman'.

"But Miss Eisel's absurd digestibility... Ecstasy and thrill... It may have been my mistake trying to estimate her aesthetic value. Not fully capturing her beauty and charm... Ohh ... This is a huge mistake. Please forgive me..."

The head of the social affairs department who couldn't stop admiring Eisel's appearance lowered her head.

In response, Blanc shakes her hand.

"It's okay, it's a first date, and it's not good if it's too much."

In the meantime, Eisel tilted her head and slapped her bruises as if something was so disapproving.

'How can they fit so well...'

Blanc and the social director didn't pay much attention to her reaction. They simply assumed that it was because it was Eisel's first time dressing up like this, so he couldn't adapt and was shy.

"It suits you well, Aizel. You've become a very lovely girl, right?"

Blanc, who stood in front of her mirror, patted Eisel on her shoulder and whispered to her.

"...Lovely."

Eisel quietly repeated Blanc's words.

"Am I going to lie?"

"Why are you doing this?"

At Eisel's question, her blanc tilts her head and makes eye contact with her.

'He's here again.'

Blanc opened her mouth as she saw Eisel staring blankly at herself.

"It's thanks to you that I became the branch manager, so can't you do something?"

Eisel, who had nodded her head, murmured, 'Thank you...'.

Blanc, who lifted it without missing it, smiled widely.

Now she had to go to the meeting place.

Eisel was so concerned about something, her eyes filled with worry.

"...Don't worry and go. If it's the Eisel I know, she'll definitely be able to do it well."

Blanc comforted Eisel.

After Eisel left, Blanc and the head of the Social Affairs Head went to the rooftop of a nearby high-rise building.

The Social Affairs Director, who climbed on the roof, took out a magic telescope from his chest.

This was a very valuable item that was only used when the Black Hand of the Bondi Information Guild did 'work'. It was too much to be used only to observe the dating of academy cadets, but the power of Blanc, the head of the southern branch, was strong.

ㅡChulkkeok.

With the magic telescope open, the head of the society observes Eisel walking far away through the lens.

They planned to go around the roof of the building and observe Eisel's date.

It was an excuse to check with her to see if Eisel was doing well.

It was just like rest or play.

If you work in an information guild, you will see things you don't want to see and come to know things you don't want to know.

For them, the fresh love story of a lovely girl was a good stimulus that gave them peace of mind.

Blanc quietly recalled the first time he met Eisel.

Eisel at that time felt quite different from now.

Eisel came to Blanc with valuable information out of nowhere. Blanc sensed her eccentricity in her.

She didn't feel any emotion in her eyes.

Blanc did not know what kind of upheaval this little girl had to go through to reach such a worn-out state.

She was like that.

Now I know how to blush her face, and I know how to worry about her love.

Blanc thought.

Eisel needs to be a little happier.

It was such a small greed that her Blanc wanted to fill her Eisel with the happiness she lacked in her own childhood.

At that moment, the head of the fraternity who was examining Eisel through her telescope opens her mouth.

"...Shit."

A question mark appears on Blanc's face.

Is there something wrong with slang words coming out of the mouth of the head of the social affairs club, who is famous for being a gentleman?

"What's the matter?"

Blanc asked him, frowning at her.

"...I'm sorry, branch manager. I was very embarrassed, so stop... I think you'd better check it yourself."

The head of the social affairs club, who had been shaking her head, held out his telescope to Blanc.

"What's going on..."

Blanc, who muttered so much, took the telescope and put his eyes into the lens.

She was able to spot Eisel right away.

It was just as lovely as it was.

Eisel was talking to the man standing in front of her.

The feet of the man standing in front of her are seen first.

Soon, Blanc's mouth opens as she lifts her telescope slightly to check the man's face.

"Uh..."

They finally understood why she had told Aisel that she didn't need 'this' even though they had done her flower arrangements.

It was a moment when the question of her not being taken over by Aisel's appearance was resolved.

A man's face seen through a lens.

There were bandages around his eyes.

Blanc, who soon took her eyes off the telescope, raised her eyebrows.

The words Eisel said passed quickly through her mind.

"...They're in the same class."

"Yes, it seems that Miss Aisel's opponent was the blind swordsman 'Cadet Zeto' who was active during this open class... It's a big deal."

They were members of the Information Guild anyway.

He was holding at least simple information about the cadets who made their name during the open class.

"Haa... Yes, that's a big deal."

Aisel's flower decoration, which had been prepared at best, had no meaning.

It's because Eisel didn't tell her who she was dealing with, but it was understandable that she didn't want to tell her from her point of view. Well, no matter what, the black hand is the information guild.

Blanc had no intention of passing on even the slightest information about her about Eisel to the guild, but it seems that she couldn't give Eisel that much trust.

"Then... The 'firecrackers' we prepared..."

The head of social affairs looked at Blanc and cautiously spoke her words.

If this happened, the 'special event' they prepared for Eisel's date had to be seen as a waste.

Blanc, who couldn't hide her dejection and clicked her tongue once, looked at Eisel.

Her expression brightened as if the conversation was going well.

"Well, I'll still be able to see Eisel..."

From now on, it was all up to her.

***

It was a weekend in Academy City, so people were busy walking around the streets.

In general, academy cadets wear uniforms whether on weekends or weekdays.

'I went that way too...'

That's convenient too.

Outside of the academy, the only clothes she wore other than her uniform were clothes that were easy to move in and a robe to avoid prying eyes.

I was concerned about the short dress.

It's the first time I'm wearing something like this.

I checked through the shop window as I moved my steps to see if the ribbon had gone wrong.

"And..."

"Who is it?"

"Isn't that Eisel Ludwig?"

For some reason, the eyes of the people around me were focused on me differently than usual.

Maybe it seems strange to them too.

Goes well.

Lovely.

Blanc, who provided her clothes, said that.

It wasn't that I didn't know the meaning, but maybe it was because I couldn't get used to it, at least it felt strange to my eyes.

Even if that were true, it didn't mean anything to Jeto anyway.

Appearance was of no value to him.

Still, this also meant that her blanc didn't add up to her background investigation, so she was feeling grateful to her.

It's a date

It was the first time including the previous episode that I had a formal meeting with Jeto like this.

I hadn't met Jeto yet, but my whole body was shaking.

'How did I usually walk...?'

Now I was even worried about my steps.

How many more steps did you take?

With the bell of the clock tower announcing the appointment time.

He could be seen from the other side.

'...I thought you'd come in uniform.'

Jetto, who was in my eyes, looked quite different from usual, just like me.

He was wearing plain clothes that gave off a neat and neat impression, but his hair, which was calmly down, was pulled back, as if he had given strength to it.

His chest tickled.

To be honest, Jetto was very handsome.

'In the first place, just looking at the twists of women...'

Usually, around the time I get to these thoughts, I'd get annoyed... But not today.

"Jetto, I waited a long time..."

Soon, he approached Jeto and called him.

"No, I just arrived."

He said that and smiled.

Subsequently, the Herald in the store laughs heartily after hearing Jeto's words.

The meeting place was in front of Harold's store.

Haha! You just arrived... They came here 30 minutes ago and asked the time. Who the hell did you want to meet? But was it Eisel?"

At the Herald's words, Jeto scratches his head.

Because Jeto didn't carry a separate watch, he set the appointment time based on the sound of the clock tower's bell... It seems he had come in advance and was waiting.

That's why I wasn't annoyed.

The fact that he was arranging for me and waiting for me gave me a sense of security.

It was a small thing, but it felt very good.

In the meantime, my eyes went to Jeto's head.

It was a bit sloppy, perhaps because it was the first time he had brushed her hair, or because he hadn't looked in the mirror.

Maybe I could just flip through her hair sticking out over there.

Soon she moved closer to Jeto.

"Wait a minute."

Jetto was so much taller than I was that I had to lift my tiptoes to touch his hair.

Jetto stood still and waited for me.

I was able to safely pass a strand of my hair that was sticking out like that.

"...Done."

Naturally, his gaze turned to Jeto's face.

"Uh..."

I only noticed now, but the distance between their faces was very close.

Jeto's lips stand out in particular.

It felt like it was right before we kissed.

"Thank you."

I heard Jeto's kind voice right in front of his nose, and as he said that, he suddenly grabbed my wrist.

Then he sniffs my wrist.

"Is it perfume...? It's a subtle scent that goes well with Ms. Eisel. I think it's similar to the scent of 'Obsion' I smelled the other day..."

His face flushed hot at his action.

Perfume was one of the 'flower decorations' prepared by Blanc.

Among the many perfumes, I chose the one made with Obsion.

'Hey... How did he know that it was the most expensive?'

Blanc said so to me when I chose the perfume.

'As expected, Jeto guesses right away.'

He also has a great sense of smell.

But since he was openly smelling my wrist and my body, I felt very embarrassed.

I quickly took my wrist out of Jetto's arms and hid it from him for no reason.

He quickly turned his head and said.

"...Well then, let's go now."

All to lift Zeto's curse.

And it was to win love.

Herald, who had been glancing at this inside the store, muttered after wiping the table.

"You're young. You're young."
