Chapter 70 – Wandering Mage Luke #7

“I want to say thank you to that nun.”
“It’s not the time.”

I said, pointing to the door of the closed outbuilding.
After the door closed, the voices of young girls began to echo from inside. Perhaps Kate has called her junior nuns? I couldn’t help but feel uneasy when I heard an unfamiliar voice ringing nearby.

“It’s noisy inside. Someone might try to open the door outside. Let’s run away.”

I took Rebecca and hurried back to the dog hole.
Rebecca seemed to want to say thank you to Kate, but she eventually followed me.
Crawling outside the fence, we finally managed to escape the church.
However, I didn’t think to take a step and looked at the ticket quietly from my seat. It was the same with Rebecca, who was next to me.

“I bet that blonde bitch wasn’t the one to give this away for free.”
“Yeah.”

I thought of Kate as I stared at her ticket fluttering in my hand.
A blond nun who had a flattering impression from the first time we met in the upper level escort quest.
Doesn’t she break the artifact at the top and keep her mouth shut, or pretend like a queen while being bombarded with gifts from adventurers?

To think that such a woman innocently handed over a congratulatory gift.
It was absolutely unbelievable.

“Didn’t you hate couples?”
“Yeah, that’s right. I thought I was crazy when I hit the ground with my fist during the day. The glaring eyes made me choke.”
“…I don’t know what happened.”

Did people change in just half a day?
What Kate showed at the last moment was a truly genuine smile. Her smile was so bright that at that moment, I thought Kate looked like a real nun. Her virginity, who knows nothing about it, is a pretty smile that will remain even if others fall in love with her.

“Yeah, that’s great. It’s an opportunity to go on a date. I really wanted to go out with you two.”

Rebecca held her ticket in her hand and looked slightly agitated. A smile hung on his lips as if he were already imagining the day we would go to a play together.

“Now we’re not just playing lovers, we’re really dating. We can do whatever we want. Even dating-“
“Yeah… I wanted to go on a date too. Let’s go out on a date from time to time in the future. There’s plenty of time.”
“Yes-!”

Dating may be a luxury for bronze-class adventurers.
Still, Rebecca and I have been pretty uptight as adventurers lately. If it was money for a date, it seemed like he could cover it by doing quests together.

‘The bounty for catching the old giant was also great, so that’s good. Thanks to Kate, I’ve been able to get her dates and her appointments.’

Looking through the ticket, I found the date of the performance on the back of the paper. And I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“They say the play will be held in just three days? There’s a date written on the back.”
“Gee, really? It’s real.”

Rebecca, who checked the date on the ticket in her hand, was also surprised.
I didn’t know that the date would be this close.
But there were no problems.

After returning from the subjugation quest, I was thinking of taking a break for a while. I wanted to practice magic in preparation for the silver tier promotion match. Thanks to that, for the time being, I have quite a bit of leeway in my schedule.
There was plenty of time to go see a play.

“Do you have time in three days?”
“Of course-!”
“Then come over to my house that morning. I’ll take you to the theater in Joensuu. You don’t know where the theater is.”

Rebecca nodded her head in agreement. She couldn’t believe Rebecca, who had only been in Yoensuu for a month, knew the geography of her town.
The way to the theater seems to have been quite complicated, but it would be better if I took the trouble myself.

Well, wouldn’t it be okay to walk down the street together in the morning?
Because it feels different than usual.

“Thank you, Luke.”
“Anyway, you worked hard today. Go back and get some rest.”
“Well, then I’ll be looking forward to it!”

After that, while walking through the town of Joensuu, Rebecca and I parted at an appropriate point.
Returning home in the middle of the night, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed.
I just went to church and I felt like I had accomplished something big.

*

Until the day before the date, I was immersed in magic training in my room. No one really came to visit, so it seems that I really ate and practiced magic.
But unlike usual, when I was practicing magic, I couldn’t help but think about something else from time to time.
Rebecca, whom he would soon meet, had a glimmer in his eyes.

‘I’m losing my concentration.’

Come to think of it, it was our first date.
Not to mention on Earth, I’ve never even had a date like that in another world.

What is a date?
What can I do? Is it okay if we hold hands and walk happily? Can I just go around the continent and return to Yoensuu?

‘I’m nervous for no reason.’

As the date for the appointment got closer, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. For some reason, I felt pressured to lead the date.
What if you disappoint Rebecca, who had high expectations?
For the time being, there may be no magical power recharge.

That doesn’t work.
Power must be recharged.

When I woke up on the morning of the third day after we broke up.
I was fired up with the will to start dating. After washing myself, I sat upright in the middle of the room and waited for Rebecca. In order to calm down like a warrior going to the battlefield.

“Suck.”

The moment the sun finally came out of the window.
A knock came from the door of the inn room.
At the same time, Rebecca’s voice echoed cheerfully in the hallway.

“Luke-! I’m here.”

At that moment, she leaped like a cheetah for her prey and charged at the door.
I opened the door that was closed.

“Ah.”

Had he been getting his hair done before the door opened?
Rebecca, running her fingers through her bangs, met her eyes with mine and gave her a puzzled expression.

“Good morning.”
“Joe, good morning.”

It was the moment I raised my hand to say hello.
I looked down and scanned Rebecca, and I couldn’t help but be surprised. Because her Rebecca’s dress was very different from usual.
She couldn’t see the leather pants she always wore, nor the red top she was strapped to today.

“Five-.”

A pure white blouse made of linen and a wool skirt covering her thighs. It was Rebecca, her straight red hair down to her waist, neatly tied in a string.

“Awesome…”

The moment I saw Rebecca, I was overwhelmed.
It was because she couldn’t bring herself to her senses from the woman’s power radiating from her body with all her might.
Although I’m not particularly fond of a woman tying her hair up, she stared at Rebecca enchanted for a moment.
The exposed white nape of her neck couldn’t have looked so erotic.

“Uh, how are you?”

Rebecca asked me with her cheeks slightly blushing.
If you ask how she was, she was of course pretty.
It was less exposed than the clothes she was wearing, but I liked it better.
Because her innocent charm captured my heart.
Besides, it wasn’t leather pants, it was a skirt.

It was the first time she had seen Rebecca wearing her skirt. Rebecca, did she realize her instincts as a woman on the occasion of her date today?
I thanked Kate from the bottom of her heart for arranging this occasion.

Thank you, Kate.
I will never forget this grace.

For now, I’m going to say thank you in my heart.
I had to answer Rebecca’s question first. As much as I worked hard on decorating, I felt like I should give encouragement. I thought of rhetoric to praise Rebecca.

“A while ago, when a festival was held in Yoensu. I’ve seen noble ladies riding in carriages at that time.

Because of my lack of verbal dexterity, I struggled to come up with words to compliment her appearance. Women naturally yearn for the life of an aristocrat, so Rebecca would naturally be delighted to hear such a compliment.

“Really? I see.”

However, the moment I looked at the reaction, I was taken aback. Even when Rebecca heard her praise, she didn’t seem particularly happy. I just nodded her head calmly as I smiled at her. It’s a natural reaction like flowing water.
It was a comment I came up with by squeezing her head in my own way.
Did I make a mistake in choosing my vocabulary? Or will she become the daughter of a really noble family? Whatever the reason, I quickly brought out the next comment.

“It’s so pretty that I’m going crazy. Rebeccaaaaa departments are so beautiful that they say I’m going to lose my head.”

I grabbed my head and started shaking it like crazy. With the idea of ​​making up for the lack of vocabulary with reactions.
Fortunately, did my sincere headbanging work?
Rebecca giggled with a smile on her face.

“It’s nice that you can feel the sincerity of shaking your head. It’s rewarding to come out after working hard.”
“Yes. But did you buy new clothes?”
“Yes. I got a new suit with the reward money.”

Somehow, it felt like a new product, but did it appear wearing new clothes?
It seems that there is a lot of spirit in the date.
Rebecca asked me to escort her in her noble ladylike tone.

“Please take care of me today, Mr. Luke.”
“I really appreciate you, Lady. Let’s go to the theater before it’s too late.”

I took Rebecca out of the inn and immediately started walking downtown.
I was already ready to leave, so I was able to move without delay.

A summer morning with clear skies.
Walking down the street with Rebecca was a different feeling after all.
Just looking at Rebecca in her make-up warms her heart.
Is this really the same person as the warrior girl who had a hand-to-hand fight with a kelpie when they first met?
Rebecca asked with a questioning expression in my gaze.

“Why? What did you put on her face?”
“No, just…”
“Just-?”
“Because her breasts are magnificent.”
“What expression do you mean when you say that your breasts become grander?
“Well, you can roughly say that. That’s what I use when I’m impressed. It means I was moved by the way you dressed up.”
“Oh, it’s impressive. It’s so uplifting.”

Her words were trembling with humility, but Rebecca was smiling pleasantly before she knew it.
After a pleasant conversation, I took Rebecca to the Joensu Theater.

A large theater located in downtown Joensuu.
The theater named Goldberg was undoubtedly the same as the one on the ticket Kate had given her.
I showed my ticket to an attendant at the box office next to the theater building. I was worried that it might be the wrong ticket, but the staff responded that there was no problem.

“You can watch 〈 Siegfried 〉, which will start in 30 minutes. Please sit in the audience and wait for the play to begin.”
“What is the play Siegfried about?”
“It’s an adaptation of the heroic tale of the Midgard continent. It’s a play that tells the story of a hero who goes to defeat an evil dragon.”

If it’s a heroic story, it’s a heroic story from another world.
If the genre is a hero, it’s not too bad. At least it’s much better than the comedy or horror genre. Regardless of whether the horror genre exists in this medieval land.
If it is a work that depicts the life of a hero, wouldn’t it have action scenes?
It is an exciting action that a real man beats and destroys.

“Let’s go in quickly.”

Rebecca grabbed my wrist and pulled me.
I followed her into her theater and took the seat written on her ticket.
Coincidentally, my seat was at the front of the second-floor audience.

A position overlooking the stage.
You can enjoy the play without difficulty even in the midst of crowded audiences.
I thanked Kate from the bottom of my heart for getting me a good ticket. Rebecca seemed to think of Kate at that moment as well.
Amidst the loud chatter of the audience, Rebecca opened her mouth.

“Luke. The nun I met last time.”
“Why is he?”
“Let’s not call her a tool bitch anymore.”
“I’ll refer to it.”

I decided to take Rebecca’s advice to her heart.
