Chapter 95 Invitation!
Chapter 95 Invitation!
Alicia pouted and was about to get angry. She thought that Luis was just teasing her again. But when she saw his serious expression, she understood that he was very sincere when he said that.
'Does that mean...?'
Her ears turned red due to shyness, and a soft smile appeared on her face.
"The feeling is mutual." She uttered those words while trying to hide her smile.
"Wow! I didn't expect you to be so honest." Luis said, showing a surprised expression. Normally Alicia would just shy away or try to deny herself. Seeing her being so honest about her feelings was a big surprise for him.
Alicia felt a little annoyed feeling Luis' sarcasm. All her previous shyness disappeared as she glared at him and said, "Don't think too much. You are just a good source of entertainment."
"Oh, I'm so hurt, I didn't expect my fiancee to say such hurtful words," Luis said while clutching his chest, pretending to be hurt.
Alicia smirked seeing his third-rate performance and said while looking at him with conceit.
"Heh, if you care so much about your fiancee's opinion, then you should do something fiance-like for her as her fiance. Right?"
Luis' eyes brightened as he showed a look of sudden realization.
"Huh? Oh my god, how can I forget something so important?"
"You know, it's not something that, I, the party of concern, should remind you," Alicia said while shaking her head.
"Well, you are right," Luis nodded, admitting his mistake. "We haven't been on any dates together since that movie date two months ago."
"At least you realize it now," Alicia said with a sigh.
Although she showed a nonchalant attitude on the surface. Inwardly, she was very shy and expectant.
After their last date was interrupted, she has been wanting to go with him on another date ever since. She doesn't realise why, but she just wants to. Being around him, she finds it very comfortable, and it also makes her yearn for more of this strange, giddy feeling that she has.
As a girl, she believes it is the responsibility of the boy to ask for a date. It is totally not because she is too embarrassed to ask. That's why she has been waiting for the opportunity when they will get to go on another date, or at least for him to invite her. But after that movie date, both of them had been so busy investing themselves in training that they didn't get any chance.
Oh, they did have a lot of alone time, but not so much that it can be considered as a date. Even when the two of them went out together. It was mostly for dungeons clearing and increasing combat experiences.
Though she doesn't hate it when she fights together with him and clears dungeons, she still wants to have a date that can be considered normal.
'Like something a normal c-couple will do.'
Alicia does not know much about it. But she still wants to try it, without being too obvious to Luis.
And now that the entrance exam is over, she wants to go on a date with Luis before the Academy starts. That's why when she saw the opportunity, she directly went for it. Although it did look like she was talking in a joking tone. As long as her purpose is achieved, everything is fine.
"In that case," Luis suddenly stopped, then looked at Alicia seriously and asked. "Alicia, oh my so lovely wife, will you go on a date with me tomorrow?"
Sure enough, just like she wanted. Luis asked her out on a date. But when he suddenly called her wife, she lost her composure.
"W-what w-wife, not yet, I- I am just your fiancee," Alicia said hastily while shuttering as she was very flustered.
Luis looked at her very seriously and said, "I know, but you should try getting used to it. Take it as practice for our future."
"P-Practice...?!" Alicia felt incomprehensible for a moment. She couldn't find any words to refute him. But she was just too shy.
"Yeah, practice." Luis nodded with a calm expression and said, "Why don't you try calling me hubby?"
"Huh...?!"
Alicia felt her entire face turn red in shame when she heard Luis' request.
'S-should I... say something like that?'
'No, no, no!'
'It's too early for that!'
Her mind was in a mess, but then she saw his teasing smirk and her face became black in an instant.
"Why! You!!!" Alicia was about to get angry again.
When Luis immediately used his chip by changing the topic.
"You haven't answered to my invitation yet. Are you willing to go on a date with me tomorrow?" He asked in a gentle voice. His voice felt so soothing to her ears, as if it was tempting her to agree.
The ups and downs of her emotions made Alicia even more incomprehensible.
'Why am I always like this in front of him? He could always one-up on me no matter what.'
This thought made her frustrated.
Showing an expression as if resigning herself, she said, "Well, as your fiancee. I guess it is something that should be expected of me. So, yes. I will go on this date with you." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luis just chuckled and showed a handsome smile on his face.
'Although, even if you wouldn't have mentioned it. I would have taken you on a date soon.'
'Also, after you know about that matter. I think a date would be a good way to comfort you, too.'
Just when Luis and Alicia's conversation ended. They heard their names being called.
[... Showing us a marvellous battle! The second-ranking student in this entrance exam! The Ice Element user!]
[ALICIA RAVEN!]
OHHHHHHHH!
The audience cheered loudly, which ended pretty soon as Kevin's voice continued.
[And the top student of this year's entrance test! the Lightning Element user! Also referred to by the audience as the Cool Guy!]
"What kind of nickname is that?" Alicia mumbled, looking at Luis speechlessly.
