The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 26: Date (ii)



Chapter 26: Date (ii)

We are going to a restaurant to eat something, though we were not hungry.

I am really confused right now; I am curious; it's like a mystery, I want to know how...

"Hey Elena, did you make that breakfast in the morning?"

"Want to get punched?"

"I don't."

She is scary.

"I am just curious because the last time I ate your cooking, it was disgust---"

I glanced at Elena; she showed me her fist.

"I don't want to punch you on our date, so please choose your words carefully."

"The last time I ate your cooking, it wasn't as tasty as it was today."

"The last time I came to your house, your mom asked me if I knew how to cook or not."

"What?"

"I replied with 'Yes' and then your mother told me to have a cooking contest when I come to your house next time."

"You should have said 'No' to her."

"I want to make a good impression on your mother."

"It doesn't matter."

"It does for me."

"Then you practiced cooking at home."

She nodded.

"Aren't you glad it worked out fine?"

She nodded again.

"It was delicious; I would like to eat it every day."

"I...ould."

"Huh?"

"I would make it every day when we live together after graduating."

Is that a proposal? I haven't told her about my past, but one day, I will need to.

"Das."

"Yeah?"

"Let's hold hands."

"Sure, I don't mind."

She moved the bag from her right hand to her left.

"Let me hold the bag."

"It's fine."

She sent other bags through the mall's home delivery, but she didn't send this one.

I am sure that the underwear she bought is in this bag.

"Hey, Das."

"Hmm?"

"Did you play LWO yesterday?"

"I did."

"Did you level up?"

"No, you weren't there, so I..."

"I see."

I thought she would be angry, but she looks happy.

"There is a raid tomorrow, but you didn't level up."

"Can't blame me."

"But you can still participate in raids."

"Can I?"

"Yes, no need to worry about anything, I will protect you!"

"Well, thanks."

I want to tell her about the game too, but I am not sure if I should say it to her or not.

"Hey Das, the raid is at 5:00 PM."

"I see."

5 PM, huh? Will we be at school at that time...huh, school?

"Wait, we will be at school at that time."

"I know."

"So we can't participate."

"There is a way."

Is there?

Our school hours are 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM in winters, and the regular 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM time in summer and monsoon.

So right now, it would be impossible to participate in a 5:00 PM raid unless...

"You are not suggesting skipping school after the lunch break, right?"

"....."

She is trying to avert her gaze from me.

"Elena, look at me."

"But--"

"No buts, seriously, how can you think of skipping school?"

"My boyfriend is lame."

I should be the one saying that!

I looked up the game website on the internet.

"They have an app too."

I opened the raid schedule and...

"Hey, Elena."

"What?"

"There are three schedules for the raid."

"Tch!" She just clicked her tongue.

There are three raids every Monday; every raId lasts for two and half hours 'if' players don't die.

1st is in the morning - 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM

2nd is in the evening - 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM

3rd is at night - 10:00 PM to 0:30 AM.

"We can play the night raid."

"There are so many players in the night raid."

"So?"

"You don't understand."

"Then explain it to me."

"In morning raids, there are only shut-in players."

Shut-in?

"In the evening raid, there are fewer players, so we should participate in the evening raid."

"What's wrong with a night raid?"

"In the night raid, there are so many players, the students, and office workers!"

"So?"

"If we play an evening raid, then we will score more and get more rewards."

My girlfriend is greedy.

"We will play night raid."

"My boyfriend is an idiot."

I am saying this to you if you want to live together and then graduate from high school first.

We reached the restaurant; the ticket dealer told me he was wearing a blue dress...wait for the dress? That he is a she? That person never told me his/her gender, so I assumed it would be a man, but it was a girl?

Elena gets angry when I talk with other girls, so if that person is a girl...

"This might be bad."

"What?"

"Nothing."

As we went in, I noticed a woman wearing a blue dress; that person was sitting two tables ahead of us.

"You wait here, Das; I want to go to the washroom."

"Okay!"

"Why do you look happy?"

"I am not."

I should practice hiding my emotions.

I walked to the person; she was eating French fries, as I was about to call her...

What is she doing here?

That person was the new intern teacher that came to our school three months ago. She had pitch-black hair with light red eyes, and her face was exquisite, almost as if a master carved it."Oh, you are here." She noticed me.

"You got the wrong person."

I don't want to deal with her because we fought two weeks ago.

"You are Das, right?"

"Yeah, I am."

"Here are the tickets."

"Tickets? Why are you giving it to me?"

Play dumb.

"Because you said you wanted them."

"Did I say that? I don't know what you are talking about."

Play dumb.

I received the text, I opened it, and it was from...

"It was you, after all." She said while showing me our chat.

"Yes, it was me."

"Okay good, here."

She gave me two tickets, and I noticed she had one more ticket.

"Thanks, here is your money."

"I don't want money."

"But we talked about--"

"There is no need."

Well, I don't mind, so let's get out of here...

As I was about to leave.

"Wait, Das; I have something to say."

Do you want to continue the fight from two weeks ago?

"I wanted to say this, I had many chances, but I was nervous to talk to you."

Huh? Wait--

"I am sorry." She bowed down her head a little when she said that

"Wait, why are you apologizing? It was my fault!"
