Chapter 110 - Ch 110 : Strange Woman

After the man left, Ray and Keisha continued their date.

And for now, there wanted to try the myth of the town square, Crossing the giant trees with their eyes closed.

Ray actually was not the type that would believe in a myth like this. However, under Keisha's assistance, he eventually succumbed.

" Are you ready, Ray? Hehe.. I'm actually pretty nervous about this."

Keisha would be the first to do this. She closed her eyes and began to walk in the direction of the Giant trees while Ray stood by her side guarding her.

There were so many people in the areas, and Ray definitely wouldn't let Keisha do such a dangerous thing without any precaution.

In the end, both Ray and Keisha failed to cross the trees with their eyes closed. Even though the gap between the two trees was pretty big, there was some strange force that made them unable to cross the big trees no matter how hard they tried.

The rest of the date in the town square unexpectedly went without a hitch. During their date, Ray could see the regular couple holding hands and enjoying themselves.

From every single muscle on their faces, he could feel the sensation of joy and love they were experiencing right now. He also heard their racing hearts, pounding away hard enough to seemingly explode at any second.

Only at this moment, Ray realizes how happy it was if he could spend the rest of his days like this with Keisha. Almost all his teen years were spent helping the orphanage and taking care of the kids.

Ray and Keisha never had the time to truly enjoy themself as they had a big burden on their shoulder.

Now that everything had been relieved, Keisha could eventually display her beautiful smile to the world, and it made Ray mesmerized.

Keisha's smile had been deeply imprinted to Ray's mind. For this smile and to protect their future... this was the reason why he must get stronger and not let anyone mess up with their lives.

On the other hand…

Ray placed his hand on the chest to feel his heart beating faster than usual, and it made him slightly worried.

Who knew what the world planning for them in the future was. Now that the world had become like this, their future would surely be unpredictable, and it might be more than just conflicts between nations.

Honestly, Ray's feeling about the change of the world was pretty complicated. He was thankful that it gave him the chance to create his own path and reach his happiness, but he was also afraid that the changes would take everything important to him.

'No matter what, I must protect Keisha and everyone else.'

Ray's motivation was hundreds, no, ten thousand times scarier than right now. If before he just wanted to be strong enough to survive, now that mindset has slowly changed to be strong enough to control their own destiny.

'Oops.'

Ray quickly shook his head in order to get rid of the useless thoughts.

'I came here to have a date with Keisha, yet here I am, thinking something so heavy...'

Ray began to wonder whether he was influenced by the DM system or something. Around the same time, he discovered his Keisha was looking at him quietly from the side, patiently waiting for him to finish his thought.

Smirk.

He couldn't help but chuckle here. This girl.. He definitely couldn't find anyone more suitable for him than Keisha.

"I'm sorry that I dazed in our date.."

"Ah…. No, it's okay. It must be something important if even you got dazed."

Keisha smiled at Ray seemed that she wouldn't be angry for something like this.

" Hehe, it's nothing important. Nothing is more important than you for me. By the way, let's just continue our date!!"

Ray took Keisha's delicate hands, and the two continued to stroll around the town square several more times.

. . . . . .

At the same time, in the town square, two other couples were also trying their luck.

" Hey woman, I am a woman. Shouldn't I be first? Don't you know the word ladies first?"

" Oh, shut up, woman. My lord once said: I yearn for true gender equality. I have no patience for one who talks about female privilege when it suits them, and then complains about someone "not being a man" when it's convenient."

" .... "

Eve was truly speechless about the Mahkota's heir. No matter what she said, the Mahkota heir always had something to counter her words and even checkmate her in every sentence he said.

" *Sigh* Fine, just do all you want."

- three minutes later -

"No way. Did he really do it?" Eve made a disbelieving expression. The man next to her might be the popular Mahkota's heir and an awakener with S-Rank, but anyone could see that these kinds of things didn't have any relation towards someone's status or ability.

After all, the two had spent plenty of time here, and Eve had observed that the chance of crossing the Big Trees was less than ten percent. Eve didn't want to believe what she saw, but she couldn't refute it as she saw it with her own eyes.

"Woman, you don't believe me? I am the Great Mahkota heir, and it shouldn't be surprising that I could do something like this. However, I still haven't seen any indication of my wish getting realized." The Mahkota's heir appeared aggrieved.

"Your wish? Could you tell me? I promise I wouldn't tell anyone else." Eve was rather interested in this topic. The wish of Mahkota's heir would it be something like world domination?

The Mahkota's Heri appeared to be a bit tsundere at first, but eventually, he still said his wish to Eve.

"Well... It's nothing big. I just wanted to meet the Morningwood Master and have a friendly competition with him.'

The Mahkota's heir eyes were rather fiery at this time. Since that time in the Special Dungeon, he always regarded the Morningwood Master as his rival, and he wanted nothing more than comparing himself to the Morningwood Master.

His eyes shifted to the sky, could no longer wait for the confrontation between the two.

' Morningwood master.. I will prove to you that I'm better than you...'

. . . . . .

Back to Ray, he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a chill coming from the direction of the big trees, and it felt like a psycho was watching over him.

' I shouldn't have attracted any weirdo here, right?'

Ray has a danger-sense passive skill, so whenever he felt a chill, it should be a sign that something troublesome would be coming in his direction.

Nonetheless, ray decided to put it on the back of his mind for now.

The danger and Dungeon matter could come later. Now his priority was to find a good location to confess to Keisha.

Currently, Keisha was going to the toilet, and since the toilet was pretty crowded, ray should have about ten or fifteen minutes to find a good location and organize everything.

The trip in Jogja might last for a week, but Ray wanted to finish this thing as soon as possible, so he could have some fun with Keisha later.

He opened his phone and search for some suitable places, but even after some time, Ray was not able to decide. It was not that there was no good place, but there were too many possible places that made ray unable to decide.

It was at this moment that someone suddenly appeared behind Ray and tugged his clothes.

" Excuse me, sir, I hear that you are going to look for a suitable place to confess?"

Ray was very shocked. It was pretty rare that his danger sense didn't react to something like this.

He turned his head around and saw a beautiful woman about the same age as him with blue hair and green clothes was looking in his direction.

" Ah.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you. My name is Jesslyn, and I'm a local here."

The woman was looking intently at Ray, but he somehow couldn't brush off this strange feeling. He didn't know why, but his intuition told him that this woman had something special on her.

But just the moment Ray was about to open his mouth, Keisha suddenly appeared out of the toilet.

" I'm sorry that it took so long Ray, the Toilet is pretty crowded."

" Ah yes.. it's okay. I'm just.."

Ray was about to rack his brain hard about how to explain the woman to Keisha. But then, he suddenly realized that the woman next to him had long disappeared. And instead, on his right hand was a name card that he never noticed was there before.

The current situation was very strange, but in the end, ray had no choice but to swallow the words back into his throat.. He didn't want to make Keisha worried, and for now, maybe it would be better if he just took things into his own hands.
