31 Chapter 32: Reward (1/2)
”Are you sure this was all you wanted?” I asked as I looked over at Ariel and Serena
”Yes!” They simultaneously replied
Their request or order was for me to take them around the city for sightseeing and to one of the best restaurants in atlas.
And as asked, we did, we went to the nicest looking restaurant we could see and went sightseeing
”You look disappointed, were you expecting something more…” Said Serena with a smug look
”Not really,” I replied
”Well, since we weren't able to beat you. We agreed that we'll hold back our original requests until we can.” Said, Ariel
”Alright? Anyways, We've gone sightseeing and to the restaurant, meaning there's still one more thing left.” I said as I stretched out my hands to each of them
”We've already done everything though?” Said Ariel as she grabbed on to it
”He's probably planning something again, let's just go along with it.” Said Serena as she also held on
”Haha… Levite, Furtim.” I said as they held my hand
The moment I cast Levite, the 3 of us, began slowly ascend into the air.
”Eh?! Wha- Wait!” Said Serena while startled
”J-John!” Said, Ariel
”Relax… Make sure you don't let go of my hands” I said as we continued to ascend to the air
”W-What do you mean relax! We'r-”
The breathtaking scenery which could only be seen by us as we floated above the kingdom left Serena who was complaining speechless. Ariel's eyes sparkled as she also stared at this stunning scene.
”Beautiful isn't it? We can see the whole kingdom from here, with the sun setting in the background it really is astonishing.” I said
My words didn't even reach the two girls who were captivated and only focused on what they were looking at
I should teach them how to fly so we can see scenes like these more often.
”Man, today felt like it was a date.” I unintentionally said out loud
”Da-te?” Said, Ariel
”What's a date?” Asked Serena
”Uhh…”
”Go on?” Said, Ariel
”A date is… When a guy and a girl go out and have fun…”
”Ah, I had a lot of fun today… It was a nice date.” Said, Ariel
”Me too, We should go on a date again.” Said, Serena
”Y-Yes…”
I feel guilty. I didn't say that it's something between lovers, but that's fine. They probably don't think of it as that way either. Besides I'm not even sure of how I feel towards them.
Ariel is a cute and quiet girl who's able to socialise when she tries. Serena is a more open girl who speaks whatever's on her mind.
Still, I wonder if I'll end up falling for one of them… Maybe I already have. I don't know since I've never had the chance to fall in love in my previous life.
”John?” Said, Ariel
”Why do you keep staring at us without saying anything?” Asked Serena
”E-Eh?! I-I don't think I'm ready-”
”Velox,” I said as I interrupted Serena
The instant I said that we were propelled higher and higher until we reached the clouds. The two girls clung on to me in fear and I could feel them trembling through their warmth.
”Don't worry, I won't let you two fall, Open your eyes, this scene looks a lot nicer than the kingdom's one,” I said
The two girls eyes sparkled as once they opened them. They could see the clouds and the sky as we felt the smooth, calming breeze of the wind. They remained speechless as we soared around in the skies.
The fear which was in their face had completely disappeared and they were no longer trembling. They looked as if they were enjoying it. The closer I'd look, the more I'd notice just how beautiful these two girls were.
”It looks nice, doesn't it?” I asked
”Yes...” They quietly muttered as they nodded
We continued to fly around for another 5 minutes before we headed back down.
”Well, let's go get something to eat,” I said after we landed
”Um... John.” Said, Ariel
”Yeah?” I asked
”I enjoyed the date, thank you.” Said Ariel with a bright smile on her face
...
”Yeah, It also enjoyed it, you should bring us on another date soon. Once a month, no week!” Said Serena who also had a bright smile on her face
...
”John, what's wrong? Do you have a fever? Your face is bright red...” Said Ariel as she placed her hand on my head
”I-I'm fine! I'm glad you enjoyed it!” I said as I faced the other direction to hide my expression
Huh? Why am I getting so flustered...
”Oh? John, could you be getting flustered? Well, you are a boy after all. Spending a day accompanying 2 beautiful girls.” Said Serena as she teased me
”I'm not...” I muttered
”Wait, you actually are? That's unexpected, and here I thought that you didn't swing this way...” Said, Serena
”Why would you think that!?” I asked
