Chapter 11 - Lap Pillow?

'System is this potion safe?'

I hurriedly asked the almighty system.

[Analyzing…..]

[An ancient magic potion that can increase strength and mana capacity by three times. Value- SSS+]

Wait! 

Rainaziel said this potion only increases the strength, it seems she herself does not know that it has an additional effect on magic capacity.

My breathing hastened.

Before she realizes this legendary potion's importance, it is better to digest it.

"Hey, why are you in a trance?"

Rainaziel looked a bit annoyed, her eyes still threatening.

Looking at her eagerness for a response, I couldn't help but chuckle. 

"Why are you looking at me as if I have taken your dowry?"

'Damn, this potion is the last legacy left to me by my late parents, now he mentions it like that....this thing can indeed be considered dowry?'

'Ughhhh, what am I even thinking, no need to ponder over such useless things.'

Rainaziel exclaimed with a heavy snort.

"Don't think too much."

Her eyes became sharp.

"Since I have already spent the day before with you, I think you should be able to pass the fake boyfriend test in the evening."

What an irony, it seemed as if she had even more confidence in my acting than I had on myself. 

"Don't worry, I got this!"

"Since I decided to take this task, the service will be spectacular."

Patting my chest, I made a bold declaration.

"By the way, what should I call you?"

"Ito Asuna or Rainaziel?"

Personally I preferred to call her Asuna, that's why I asked her on an impulse.

A light flickered in her eyes as she realised the meaning of what I asked, it was like she was remembering some old distant memory, and various complex expressions started appearing on her face.

After a good while, she finally spoke, 

"Suit yourself!"

"Fine, let's go with Asuna, it seems more pleasing to ears."

Without wasting any time, I straight away gulped down the magic potion.

A strong violent feeling engulfed my body like someone was ruthlessly setting me on fire, within seconds beads of sweats filled my forehead. 

It was like my muscles were being forcefully torn apart and rebuilt from scratch.

"Ughhhhh"

Cough~

"Fool!"

Asuna hurriedly rushed behind me and patted my back.

Soon I felt a cold sensation spreading throughout my body, her timely channeling of some strange energy calmed the raging heat from before.

"Good, now it's better."

With a staggering tone, I slowly exclaimed.

"Don't talk, just wait a few minutes."

From behind, I heard her icy voice.

Looking behind at her serious face, I meekly nodded.

After a while, the system's notification sound jolted me awake.

[Stength 7➨10]

[Intelligence/ Mana Capacity 6➨10]

"Seriously?"

"I am not such a shrew that I will take back the thing that I threw."

Asuna expressed her dissatisfaction making an annoyed pout.

"Wait."

Instantly, her eyes became sharp as she tightly held my hand.

"Although I can't gauge it properly…..but your strength seems to have suddenly increased?"

Her words were filled with utter shock. 

As an experienced person, she knew how hard it was to raise strength.

"Well, I guess this potion helped me activate my latent talent?"

I tried to shrug it off as a small episode. 

Then I slowly separated her grip from me, it was making me uncomfortable.

Asuna looked at me suspiciously, but unable to sense any falsehood, she could only swallow her breath and mutter something incoherent.

"So I just have to act as your fake boyfriend for this evening, right?"

When things become a bit awkward, it's best to change the topic, that's what I did.

This is not called running away but changing offensive.

Asuna, who was probably in a daze, still trying to guess if the potion she gave me was too special, was startled by my loud voice. 

"Ahh, yes!"

"That's right, our objective is to make that bitch jealous as hell."

She jumped excitedly.

"Understood, so is there any special requirement or detail we need to pay attention to?"

Continuing my printing tone, like a professional, I inquired further. 

"Well, her name is Claire, a higher demon."

"In fact, she should become one of your high school teachers once your school begins starting Monday."

After pondering carefully, Asuna answered sarcastically.

"Huh?"

"My future sensei?"

I was immediately flabbergasted with her response.

Crap, so my peaceful high-school life is going to be filled by these supernatural chicks?

At the same time my system made another prompt.

[Supernatural Date invitation accepted.]

[Target: Rainaziel, alias Ito Asuna ( Four Winged Fallen Angel). ]

[Missions: 1- Lap Pillow for 6 minutes.]

[2- Hold her hand 2 times.]

[3- Give her 3 heartfelt moments.]

[Rewards- Increase all stats by 4, high level proficiency in light attributed spells, and an unknown SSS+ level prize based on date performance.]

If earlier I was just pretending, then this time I was damn serious, what bitch?….the girl in front of me is a rich fat sheep whom I have to slaughter slowly.

The rewards were simply amazing~

I even forget that this girl stabbed me yesterday, what I could see was profit, profit!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Feeling my hot eyes fiercely staring at her, Asuna trembled for some reason.

'Why is he looking at me like I am some prey?….this guy is getting more and more bold.'

Regaining her demeanour, Asuna smiled mischievously.

"Thinking we need to do some practice, I bought you for an entire day, but who knew we were familiar and such things can be skipped directly."

"It's only 12.30 pm, so how do you plan to entertain me?"

"I still haven't asked you to say sorry for taking me to a fake amusement park."

Making a sad face, like she wanted to be coaxed, Asuna grumbled.

"Huh?"

"You realise it already?"

It seems she isn't that dumb.
