Chapter 299: First date (1)
The first one that I had a date with was Long Shui Ling.
She was the most anxious one and asked to see me the second day after our vacation began.
When the day came, I was surprised to find a limo waiting outside of me.
The one driving this limo was naturally Sebastien who had looked down on me before.
But since Long Shui Ling was here, he didn't dare do anything.
After getting in the car, we headed off without any delay.
I had no idea where we were going since Long Shui Ling had only asked me out on a date without giving me any more information.
Now that we were on the way, I couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?"
"The zoo." Long Shui Ling immediately replied with a wide smile.
What he would never know was how much effort Long Shui Ling had put into planning this date.
She had thought of many different places and many different scenarios, but in the end, it was the zoo that she chose.
That was because she felt that this suited their personalities their best out of all the options.
As for money, she never even considered it.
As the young miss of the world's richest family, she never needed to worry about things like money. Even if she wanted to rent out the entire zoo, it wouldn't be a problem for her.
It would just be a simple matter of snapping her fingers and someone would take care of it.
But she wouldn't do something like that.
Long Shui Ling didn't like using her family's powers like this and she didn't like being treated special. That was just how she had been raised by her family and there was no changing that.
But at the same time, there was another reason why she didn't want to do this.
Mood.
She wanted all the others there to give it the proper mood of a date.
If it was just the two of them wandering around an empty zoo, it really wouldn't have been interesting.
When we arrived, I couldn't help being surprised by Long Shui Ling sending off Sebastien.
Naturally he wanted to follow us around to keep Long Shui Ling safe from all the people, but Long Shui Ling wouldn't have anything like that. This was a precious date and she wouldn't let anything ruin it.

So Sebastien was sent off by Long Shui Ling.
But we could feel that there were guards all around us.
As Awakeners, our senses were sensitive enough to hear them.
Still, we didn't do anything since we knew that it would be more trouble than it was worth.
Since that was the case, we should just let them follow at a distance.
After entering the zoo, I looked around to see that there were quite a few people here.
It seemed that no matter the day or time, a large zoo with an amusement park attached would be a popular place. Even though it was a weekday and kids should be in school, he saw them running around with their parents.
It seemed that it wasn't just adults who liked playing hooky.
As we stood there by the entrance, while I was looking around, Long Shui Ling reached into her bag to pull out a notebook and a map. While pulling these things out, there was a smug look that appeared on Long Shui Ling's face.
It was as if she was saying that she would show me once and for all…
But it didn't go her way.
After taking out the map and notebook, Long Shui Ling opened it to find…
They were both smudged.
She didn't understand how they could have been smudged like this, she had just prepared these things last night. They should have been brand new other than her writing in the notebook.
What she wrote in the notebook was the plan for this date.
She had put all of the things that she wanted to do on it and had made marks on the map.
But now…it was just too smudged for her to see.
When she looked in her bag, Long Shui Ling found that it was because her water had spilled which was why this had happened.
She quickly cleaned out her bag and made sure that it wasn't damaged, but the look of disappointment on her face was clear.
It was clear that she was disappointed by how this turned out, especially since she had put in all this effort.
But when I saw her like this, I couldn't help shaking my head with a faint smile on my face.
All of this reminded me of Long Shui Ling when I first met her.
She had been chased by the monsters in the dungeon and she fell in front of me, which was why I had saved her in the first place.
It had been a while since I had seen this clumsy side of her and she had been getting stronger with her illusion powers.
But now that I saw her mess up like this, I knew that she was still the same girl as before.
The one that was a clumsy kind of cute.
I couldn't help feeling better since I had been afraid that my suggestions would have changed her.
Seeing me shake my head like this, Long Shui Ling panicked and started waving her hand to say, "This, that, I…"
She wasn't able to form coherent sentences as she did her best to try and explain what happened.
But she stopped in the end when I took her hand and said, "There's no need for that."
Long Shui Ling was caught off guard when she heard this and she revealed a confused look.
I just said with a smile, "We're here to have fun, right? Then there's no need to think that much about how we're supposed to have fun. We should just walk around and enjoy ourselves instead of following a strict plan."
Long Shui Ling was surprised to hear this, but she slowly gave a nod of agreement.
I shook my head again before pulling her by the hand that I had taken and said, "Come on then, let's go have some fun."
