Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 186 - 178: Date Start

After Alex returned home and wanted to resume his training, Silveria refused to let him trains saying he ought to prepare for tomorrowʼs date. He must rest in preparation for tomorrow. Reluctantly Alex accepted.

That night Gracier became her brotherʼs counselor, she told him what he must and mustnʼt do. Alex didnʼt know whether to laugh or cry seeing how enthusiastic Gracier was.

Almost as if was her who going on the date.

The next Alex went to the meeting place. It was a beautiful fountain located in the northern part of the Imperial Magic Academy.

He was wearing a simple shirt and buttoned it up fully to support the graceful bow tie he was wearing. On top of the shirt he was wearing a stylish vest with 4 buttons, it had a fairly deep v-line, which causes the vest to line up perfectly with the jacketʼs v-line when itʼs button-up.

The jacket perfectly wraps around his body. It had a wide herringbone pattern which gives the suit a classy and graceful look. The 3 buttons of his double-breasted jacket are all buttoned up except for one, it gives the suit a bit of both world, casual and stylish.

The jacket was the same length all around, it has a vent at the back, thereʼs a single pocket on one side and thereʼs a breast pocket that has been left empty.

He was wearing pants which have the same color as the jacket, but a slightly different pattern and they perfectly complement his shoes.

There was a long black scarf wrapped around his neck.

All eyes were on him, some bold girls even tried to strike a conversation with him, trying to invite him. He politely declined their offers and continued toward the meeting place.

When he arrived as he expected, he did not see Luna. He waited for her, however, he didnʼt have to wait for too long before a graceful figure appeared from the other side.

ʼBeautifulʼ

Was the only word anybody could think of when they saw the approaching golden-haired young girl.

For a moment Alex was captivated seeing the current Luna. She wore a light golden dress matching her hair.

The dress covers her shoulders almost fully and flows down into a fancy jewel neckline. It was a tight fit which makes the dress both enjoyable to wear and look at.

Her arms have been covered to about her elbows. The sleeves were simple, yet elegant. A perfect combination of grace and style.

The dressʼs waist was wide, but it was a comfortable fit. A small, elegant belt helps accentuate her waist without being too much.

Below the waist, the dress widens and has a princess dress style. The dress reached just above her knees and was the same length all around.

She was wearing open toes, an ideal match for this dress.

She walked until she stopped in front of Alex, smiling she said.

ʼʼGood Morning Alex, I hope I didnʼt make you wait long.”

”Do not worry. I do not mind waiting forever if itʼs for you.”

He winked while throwing this corny joke, hoping to help her relax a little as he had noticed how tense she appeared.

This seemed to help as a small smile formed on her face after the momentary pause as she was not expecting Alex to say such a line.

ʼʼBy the way, you look gorgeous in that dress. So, much that I want to kidnap you and never let you go.ʼʼ Alex said with such a serious tone that you wouldnʼt think he was joking.

Alexʼs words made Luna blush heavily.

ʼʼWhat a glib tongue youʼve.ʼʼ She said with a pout, however she couldnʼt hide her sweet smile, feeling happy inside. Which girl would be unhappy when the one sheʼs in her heart complements her? The answer would be none.

ʼʼLetʼs go,ʼʼ Alex said while extending his hand in Lunaʼs direction, his intention was obvious, so Luna did not shy away, she put her hand his Alexʼs large hand.

For a moment she felt safe, she could see Alexʼs broad shoulders which could shoulder all of her burdens. She almost stopped and tell him everything, she bit her lips, she decided to endure it, soon it would be done, soon. She told herself.

As they started walking forward Alex said,

ʼʼI thought you would be a little bit nervous.ʼʼ

Luna smiled, ʼʼI am but I know how to hide it.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see,ʼʼ he said.

ʼʼIndeed Iʼm nervous, however, being able to walk beside you like this itʼs what I want. You donʼt how happy am I.ʼʼ Luna murmured.

To her what she said, Alex did not hear it because her voice was extremely low, almost impossible to hear her.

Unfortunately for her and fortunately for Alex because of his enhanced senses, he was able to hear what she said.

He was inwardly surprised, he could feel Lunaʼs affection toward him from her words.

More than ever, Alex wanted to know what kind of past they had because he had no recollection of it. Luna was the key to the missing part of his memories. Maybe after todayʼs date, that hole would be filled.

Even if he was unaware of what kind of relationship they had, now that he had accepted Mariaʼs condition, he decided to think about how to make this woman happy, at least today.

ʼʼLuna, letʼs just hang out like this, talk about all sorts of stuff, laugh together… and learn a little bit more together. What do you think?”

”Sounds great,” Luna responded to Alexʼs suggestion with a bright smile.

The two continued to advance, they left the central sector of Avalonʼs capital to move to the third district, the commercial district.

By the way, Avalon, the floating capital was divided into three districts, namely known as:

✒  Central District: Where the palace, Imperial Magic Academy, Adventurer Guild, Mercenary Guild, Merchant Guild, and other powerful organizations are. Alexʼs Blue Haven Manor was located in the Central District.

✒  The Noble District: As the name suggests, it was a sector where the powerful Noble families reside.

✒ The Commercial district: thereʼs nothing to be explained here as the name of the district already suggests what you can find in this sector.

While walking with Luna, Alex was remembering Gracierʼs lessons. She had said that women tend to love sweet things, especially Luna. As for why Gracier seemed sure of this assumption, Alex did not question his sister because he was able to deduct that this kind of information must be something either Maria or Sakuya had told Gracier.

Their reason for doing something like this did not take a genius to guess as it was to help Alex to make todayʼs date perfect.

ʼWell, you already give me a push. Iʼll believe in you and gamble.ʼ Alex thought.

Today Silveria was not with Alex, she decided to let Alex have his privacy, she did not want to intrude on their date. Today could be considered a special occasion for both of them. To Alex it was today heʼd be able to know whether or not he can get his missing memories back and to Luna, today was the day she will not run and face Alex head-on. Both had their own thoughts.

Just as they entered the third district, Alex who knew (had been informed) favorite things were sweets. As such, while walking, he went towards a slightly trendy street with several confectionaries and restaurants.

When they entered the small candy shop, he felt Lunaʼs body tremble, she was excited there was no doubt about it.

ʼSo, the information was not false huhʼ Alex thought while looking at the excited Luna.

ʼʼI know that you donʼt remember. It must them, still, thank you.ʼʼ Luna said, not giving Alex the time to say anything, she pulls his arm along as her eyes sparkled and began looking inside with curiosity and wonder.

In addition to a large number of sweets, all the pastries in the store looked colorful and delicious. Luna had a hard time choosing.

Finally choosing several expensive sweets after struggling for a while, she was preparing to pay for it but Alex stopped her.

”Ahh, Luna, no need, Iʼll pay for it.”

To Alex, he did think that it was normal for the man to treat the girl at least on their first date, so, he couldnʼt let Luna pay.

Luna smiled not insisting on paying as she knew if she continues, Alexʼs pride would be hurt. Something, she wouldnʼt do.

After they bought some candy and left the store, with a smile on his face Alex suggested.

ʼʼLetʼs go grab something to eat. Afterward, Iʼd like to try few candies as well.ʼʼ

Hearing Alexʼs words, a smile blossomed on Lunaʼs face as she knew Alex did not have a sweet tooth as she did. He must be doing this in consideration for her. She was happy inside and she did not hide it.

ʼʼMmh! Letʼs go. Where are you taking me?” She asked curiously.

Smiling Alex said, ʼʼTo my restaurant of course. In fact, today will be the first time Iʼm visiting it since the day Iʼve acquired it.ʼʼ

Luna nodded while inwardly she was extremely happy, ʼIʼll be the first one to set foot in his restaurant, not Maria, not Sakuya but me.ʼ

If Alex knew what Luna was thinking at this moment, he wouldnʼt know whether to laugh or cry. Women are sure complicated and interesting.
