Chapter 27 – Date [2]

"Ah~ You're flattering me." Ferin smiled sweetly at her while covering her lips with her hand. She could tell that the girl didn't have bad intentions toward her or Atlas.

"Would you mind taking a selfie with me? A screenshot in-game, I mean." The girl requested and gulped nervously.

"Sure, why not? Hehe, it's my first time being asked that in my game character." Ferin's mood immediately changed after knowing that the girl's purpose wasn't to steal Atlas from her or asking about his relationship with her.

"Thank you so much!"

The girl had a bright smile on her face when she approached them and took a selfie with Ferin. It was quite a unique experience for Atlas because he had never witnessed Ferin taking selfies in the game before.

She would usually ignore the girls and fans who were trying to get close to her, but the girl here was just an innocent fan who didn't mean anything bad to them.

'I guess she has changed slightly. Before, she didn't like being disturbed when we are going out together.' He thought in his mind and turned his gaze toward the clothes on the display racks while the two girls were talking happily.

There were plenty of clothes here that he could choose to wear.

'Should I buy one too? I can't possibly go on a date in a robe.' He mused thoughtfully before his eyes landed on a brown long coat with a white shirt, and black pants underneath. It seemed very comfortable to wear. 'This looks nice.'

Atlas held the clothes in his hand and searched for his size in the shop. While doing so, Ferin had finished talking with the girls and came to his side again.

"At~ Are you buying that?" She asked curiously while staring at the clothes in his hands. "You're choosing something fashionable for our date~"

"Yeah," He nodded his head and checked the price before placing the clothes in his inventory, "You can continue choosing the clothes you like. Let's show each other after we're done shopping."

"Sure~" Ferin giggled at him and winked playfully. "I will charm you and make you want to pounce at me in the game, At."

"Haha... Let's see if you can." Atlas smiled lightly at her teasing before returning to the racks and continued choosing his clothes.

He knew that she would be able to pull that if she tried, so he was a bit worried.

'The R18 system in this game isn't implemented yet until next month. If we do something naughty before that and in a random area, we might get banned. I don't want that to happen.'

Still...

"Let's see."

Atlas changed into the clothes he bought for 700 Nar. Ferin also chose another outfit while he was busy changing. She had the same shirt but with black shorts instead of pants. The design was slightly different, though.

"Is this okay?" She asked him about her choice with a grin on her face, "How do I look?"

"As pretty as ever." Atlas smiled warmly at her and chuckled softly. "You look wonderful in anything, Fer. Don't worry about it."

"I know." Ferin giggled and brushed her hair lightly while staring at him with a seductive look in her eyes, "And you look... classy. Like a noble in an RPG game, At~"

"Then, we are ready to go." He cleared his throat and gestured to her to follow him after they paid the shopkeeper. "We should get going now or else we won't have time left for our date. Please let me escort you, Princess Ferin."

"Aw~ You're so sweet, Prince At~"

The couple laughed quietly with each other and left the shop before they headed toward the restaurant where they could eat some food and watch the sunset together.

Some players and NPCs stared at them in amazement and envy while they passed through the crowded street of Rudina City. They were very eye-catching, especially when Ferin was holding Atlas' arm.

Their relationship had drawn many eyes in the community forum, and not everyone liked them. Some people even made slander comments about them online and tried to get close to them to ruin their reputation.

But, none of those worked. They were well aware of the reporters' tricks to get their scoops for their own benefit, so they didn't get tricked by their plan.

Still, the couple enjoyed their date in Horizon Online even after knowing their hateful comments.

"Look, night cycle has come. The sun is setting on the horizon." Ferin whispered softly as she gazed at the sun falling down outside the window beside them while taking a bite of her food, "This is so romantic~"

Atlas observed the scenery with a fond smile on his face before turning his gaze toward her. "Indeed. Everything is romantic as long as you are here with me."

Ferin's cheeks flushed at his words and laughed quietly. "Hehehe~ I feel the same way, At."

They were madly in love with each other. That was an undeniable fact.

Atlas was satisfied with their first date in Horizon Online. He wanted to do it again once they reached higher levels and had better equipment. Maybe visit a danger zone to look at the sunrise next time.

Tomorrow will be another wonderful day. 

Ferin closed her eyes and exhaled deeply. "Next day cycle, let's aim for Level 20, shall we? We have plenty of time."

Atlas chuckled and nodded his head at her suggestion. "Agreed."

After that, they ate their food and continued chatting together before returning to the real world after logging off from Horizon Online.

Climbing out of the capsule, both of them sweated a lot in reality. It had been more than 5 hours since they started playing, so they were tired mentally and physically now.

"Time to shower~" Ferin stretched her body while smiling at Atlas seductively before getting up from the bed. She removed her clothes slowly while standing in front of him, letting him see every part of her naked body without any shame. "Care to join me?"
