The second date that I had arranged was with ire.


    Unlike the first date, this couldn''t really be considered a date.


    After all, there was nothing between me and ire, so it wasn''t as if she could just invite me on a date.


    Instead, it was a trip to a special store for Awakeners.


    This was a store that waspletely filled with different items that Awakeners could use whether it was in the dungeon or the break zones.


    This was a store thatpletely satisfied all of the needs of Awakeners.


    Though there were also some wealthy people that also shopped there since the items for Awakeners definitely weren''t normal items.


    The excuse that she gave me for this date was to pick up items for our team to use in the future.


    Since I was the team leader, I couldn''t refuse this request that easily.


    But at the same time, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to achieve what I wanted to achieve with ire.


    When I arrived at the store, I was early.


    I had made sure to arrive early just so I could prepare everything for what would happen today.


    However, when I arrived, I found that ire was already waiting there for me.


    How did I notice her?


    It was because she had attracted a crowd around her.


    She was a beautiful young girl with blonde hair in ponytails, fair white skin, and fine carved face, but it was different today. Normally, she had the look of a young girl, but today she had the look of a mature woman.


    She had dressed herself uppletely, which gave her a different feeling.


    Though her clothes didn''t show that much skin, they were form fitting enough to be stimting even without showing skin.


    They perfectly entuated her hourss figure, which had a fair sized chest, wide hips, and a thin belly.


    This gave one a very good sense of just what kind of figure she had and it really was dazzling.


    That was why there was a crowd that was gathered around her.


    It even seemed like there were several of them that had already tried to hit on her, but they werepletely rejected by her.


    Since I arrived, it wasn''t as if I could just ignore her.


    So I was about to go over to greet her.


    But before I could, ire also saw me and ran over to where I was standing.


    When the crowd saw this, they couldn''t help following her with their eyes. When the crowd saw that it was me that she was running to, all of them started to re at me.


    When she came over, I said, "It seems that you''re early too. Did you have to wait long?"


    ire just shook her head and said, "No, I just go here."


    My lips couldn''t help twitching when I heard this.


    If she really just got here, how could she exin thatrge crowd that had gathered around her?


    If she really just got here, would it make sense that all of these people had gathered here around her?


    She must have arrived early and had arrived quite early for such a crowd to gather.


    But since she didn''t want to admit it, I wasn''t going to expose her.


    So I just said with a smile, "Oh that''s good. I was worried that I had kept you waiting."


    ire just looked at me with a smile.


    The ones from the crowd that were close enough to hear what we were saying red at me even more, but I just ignored all of these res.


    Since that was dealt with, I turned to face the store and said, "Should we go in?"


    ire gave a nod before moving behind me.


    It was as if she was going to follow me instead of going in with me.


    Seeing this, I couldn''t help raising a brow and asking, "What are you doing?"


    ire was surprised when she heard this and she looked down to realize what she had done.


    With an awkward look, she said, "I''m just used to following you because of our work in the dungeons that I instinctively moved behind you."


    I shook my head with a bitter smile when I heard this before saying, "Well we''re not in the dungeon now. If you walk behind me like this, it really will be hard for me to exin. So how about you juste forward and walk beside me?"


    ire gave a nod, but she didn''t move forward right away.


    She instead took a deep breath to calm herself before taking a step forward to stand beside me.


    As she stood there, she looked at me and I couldn''t help revealing an awkward smile since I didn''t know what she was doing.


    But ire revealed a smile as she looked at me like this.


    From the beginning, she had only ever been able to stare at his back…


    Now that she was beside him, she had to admit that this was a feeling that she liked.


    I didn''t understand what was happening, but that didn''t matter.


    So I chose to ignore it and said, "Then should we go in?"


    ire was still in a daze, but she eventually gave a nod.


    So the two of us headed into the store.


    Once we went through the doors of the store, the crowd that had been in a daze finally reacted.


    "Did you see the way that the two of them were acting?"


    "I did, I did. It''s clear that there''s some kind of strange rtionship between the two of them."


    "The way that she went behind him without even thinking…do you think that they have that kind of rtionship?"


    "Please don''t, I don''t even want to think about it. Such a beautiful girl and she''s being…"


    There were all kinds of whispers, but it seemed like the conclusion that they had drawn was the same…


    So the crowd followed them into the store.
