A white short-sleeved shirt, a dark gray jacket, black trousers, a stylish belt, and black leather shoes. Other than the fact that Grey was wearing his armament ring, he looked like a normal person who is going on an outing.

Of course, by normal, it was only about the attire. His face and stature were far from normal, they were both exceptional. After all, he was in a body which God himself had made with his standards of beauty in mind.

Grey twisted and turned as he checked out his figure in a makeshift mirror made by magic. It was already the sixth time he checked his attire. He was still a little nervous even when he had already gone out with Yuna many times before. The word "date" has that much weight in Grey's mind.

"Haah... Alright. Let's do this." [Grey]

As he heaved a lengthy sigh, Grey composed his mind as headed out of his room. He then faced Yuna's door and knocked gently.

"Yuna, are you finished preparing?" [Grey]

"A-Ah! Just a few minutes, Grey. I'll just fix my hair." [Yuna]

"Sure." [Grey]

A slightly flustered and gentle voice replied to Grey's question. It was Yuna. She was still picking the best hairstyle she would go with. After all, she was having a proper date with Grey.

A few minutes passed and light footsteps echoed throughout the corridor as Yuna neared the door. Soon after, a creak replaced the sound of footsteps and a beautiful elven girl was revealed as the door opened.

Sleeveless pearly white dress complimented with beautiful wooden sandals and a simple bead bracelet. Her slender figure accentuated by her clothing and her silky smooth silver hair flowed freely in the air. She was very beautiful.

"Umm... How do I look...?" [Yuna]

A rosy tint colored Yuna's cheeks as she shyly asked Grey a common question. Her face became even redder as she anticipated Grey's answer.

"...... You look beautiful." [Grey]

Taken aback by Yuna's beauty, there was a long pause before Grey answered Yuna's question. Nevertheless, Yuna was happy after she heard Grey's reply. It felt like she was on cloud nine.

While it may not be as red as Yuna's, a trace of redness can be noticed in Grey's face. The moment she saw Yuna, it was like time had stopped and his heart raced like crazy. He once again realized how much of a beauty Yuna was.

"Then, shall we go now, Milady?" [Grey]

"Ah, yes... I'll be in your care, Sir Grey." [Yuna]

With a gentle smile on his face, Grey offered his hands to Yuna. He wanted to escort her like how a proper man would to a lady.

Grey tried to diffuse the embarrassing situation with a jokingly formal way of speech, but it had backfired. Yuna became even redder than before. In her eyes, Grey became even more dazzling as he said those words.

As Yuna held Grey's hand, the hearts of the two raced even faster than before. Their faces feel feverish and their minds overheat with the passing of time. The stimulation was too much that they soon let go of each other's hands.

But even in that situation, Grey didn't think of Yuna in a romantic way. Or at least, he wasn't aware of it. He was only embarrassed because he was on a date, and not because he had romantic feelings for Yuna.

The moment the two walked out of the inn, they immediately garnered the attention of the passersby. Be it men or women, those who laid their eyes on them were instantly captured by them.
