Gentleman

[Mission Complete] 

The system notification sounded like sweet music to my ears. Unfortunately, leveling up now required more EXP, so I had to hold off on that satisfaction. 

"Are you okay?" I asked Yuki as I appeared right in front of her. She looked surprised and almost stumbled, but I quickly caught her around the waist, making sure she stayed steady and safe.

I had to be gentle with her; after all, she was a potential candidate. 

"T-thank you," she stammered, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she lowered her gaze, a shy smile playing on her lips. 

I'd be an idiot not to figure out that she likes me. 

I bet if I kissed her right now, she'd be delighted and float on cloud nine. However, my instinct was telling me not to do it. It was a strange feeling, especially since she was really my type.

So, I chose to play the role of a typical anime protagonist.
