Chapter 187 Calm Before The Storm 2 (1/2)

”Uh, are you sure you're aware that this is a necklace, not a headband?”

Raghnall grumbled as he constantly adjusted the thing on his forehead. He really wanted to take it off but a single glare from Inna was enough to make him abandon the thought.

”Now, now, you wouldn't actually remove a gift I bought for you with your own hard-earned money now, would you?”

Inna mocked him with his own words. Then, as an addition, she decided to sarcastically compliment him.

”Well, it looks good on you.”

Inna snickered as she looked at him through her shoulder. He looked absolutely ridiculous that Inna couldn't help but feel satisfied whenever she looked at it.

Back when they were in by the small sidewalk shop, what caught her eye was a necklace with a personalized name pendant. It looked handmade so she thought that it was customizable.

And she was right!

It was a necklace that can be customized to have a certain word of the owner's choice as its pendant. Apparently, the shop keeper, using magic, can bend the metal wires to form a certain word. And with an additional fee, he can even make the words glow using magic for a period of time.

So, after tricking Raghnall into giving her money, she bought it and decided to choose a very cute word for her revenge.

The word 'Servant' glowed brightly on his forehead under the night sky as they made their way around the town.

Numerous students peered at both Inna and Raghnall as they walked past them. They both looked so ridiculous that even the local villagers turned their heads at the sight of them.

To the eyes of others, they certainly looked crazy. A girl with incessantly ringing bells that rang ridiculously loud as she moved, which annoyed the people around them, was walking side by side with a man who wore a necklace on top of his head with the word 'Servant' glowing brightly.

As they walked, Inna saw her and Raghnall's reflection by a shop's window and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

They certainly seemed crazy. But at least Raghnall looked more retarded than her.

And to think they went around town shopping, eating, watching magical dance performances, and playing some magical shop games with their current ridiculous selves. Inna could only chuckle as she wondered what they must have looked like and what the people around them must've thought as they continued to merrily prance around the town.

Raghnall tugged on their joined hands, signaling her to stop walking. They've long held their hands together ever since Raghnall nearly lost Inna in the crowded audience of one of the magical dance performances they'd watched.

And to Raghnall's relief, Inna didn't seem to mind him doing it since she felt that it was her fault for venturing away from Raghnall even for just a short while. So, she figured that it'd be more practical to actually grab onto him to avoid her getting dragged somewhere again by the crowd.

So, as natural as breathing, they held hands as Raghnall guided her to a huge and bustling shop.

”A restaurant?”

Inna observed the shop's signage excitedly as she patted her stomach. They've been eating a few snacks here and there at some stores so Inna wasn't that starved. But they've never got an actual full meal so Inna was heavily excited and curious to see what different meals she could taste from the restaurant.

Raghnall smiled as he tugged on their hands again.

”It's dinnertime so I figured you must be famished. C'mon, I've got a table waiting for us with all the food on their menu. It's on me.”

Then, he lightly guided her in entering the restaurant.

But looking at Raghnall from behind, Inna sighed as she recalled his words.

All on him, he said…

And to think he was proclaiming himself to be a commoner back when they first entered the academy.

He really just abandoned his act completely, huh.

Inna smiled weakly as Raghnall talked to a man with an apron. The man acted like a waiter as he politely guided Raghnall and her to the second floor. And as they walked, Inna noticed that the whole area was packed. She couldn't help but look at Raghnall in amazement as she gestured to all the people.
