262. Date (2)
●
A loose afternoon on a boring holiday is basically an expression that evokes the scent of a human being buried in leisure. This is because most grown adults are more likely to want to be lazy on holidays but cannot.
Especially if you are engaged in a job that requires a very harsh labor force. In that sense, Grand Assassins must be people who have already built up a wall from drowsy rest from that title.
In that sense.
For Victoria Ebatrice, walking around the streets on ‘weekdays’, not even on holidays, is not a very familiar act.
Moreover, if the purpose of going out is an unidentified act called ‘dating’, there is no way to get a sense of what to do first.
“…Isn’t that strange, isn’t it?”
I’m not sure what to say, because my vision is almost spinning all night thinking about ‘what to wear’.
Of course, due to the nature of my job, I tried on all sorts of clothes to infiltrate, but it was the first time in my life that I had dressed up ‘to look pretty’ to this extent.
On the other hand, the other person is dressed neatly and has a normal face. It is the attitude that she is sure that the clothes she is wearing are not strange.
It’s as if you’re ‘used’ to hang out with the opposite s*x like this.
“Yes. Are you okay. It suits you well.”
Isn’t it even natural to take the lead in this way?
It was a heartbreaking situation for Victoria.
“…That’s empty talk.”
She said curtly as she fingered the hem of her frill-heavy one-piece dress.
Her lips were pouting involuntarily.
“This type of clothing is not very active, and it is not suitable for hiding memorization, and it would not suit me in the first place-“
“It suits you.”
Cut off her words, and Dawood’s voice dropped.
It was a resolute voice that was difficult to refute.
“I don’t know what to think to myself, but in my eyes it’s very pretty.”
“…”
Victoria, who was clenching her fists and grinding her teeth, reddened her face.
‘…Injured self-esteem. Unlucky.’
Victoria chewed on the gossip like that, but only a carefree voice continued to flow out, whether or not she knew her feelings.
“Shall we go?”
“…Is that so.”
When Victoria said that, still pouting her lips, Dowd smiled and immediately grabbed her hand.
It was similar to the movements of birds of prey snatching prey.
“What, what, what are you doing right now…!”
“Let’s go, then.”
With those words, Victoria, who had become like a snatched mouse, began to be dragged by Dawood.
“Wait a minute, at least tell me where you are going-!”
“I haven’t decided. No matter what.”
Victoria’s eyes flashed.
Oh, good.
Finally, the first ‘attack distance’ we met!
“Originally, it is polite for the person who invited you to come out with all the preparations…!”
“Just because it’s a date, you shouldn’t be buried in the idea that you ‘should’ do something.”
“…Yes?”
“I love anything as long as I can just spend time with you.”
This is probably one of the common mistakes that novice couples make.
If you’re a man and a woman who have met each other for a certain amount of time, you’ll realize that it’s important to spend time together, whatever it is.
“…”
It’s annoying.
It’s unlucky.
Her self has a lot of experience with women, and she doesn’t even intend to hide it from her, but she still believes that if she opens it up, she won’t hate her.
The fact that you are full of such ‘confidence’ comes from every action and attitude.
“Ah, shall we go from there?”
While Victoria was sinking and shivering, Dowd asked for an idea to go to a downtown area near her.
Even as she was being dragged to that side, she was determined to continue to express her dissatisfaction.
The sky was very clear.
She was so harsh when she was embracing the natural disaster, but now she is clear without a cloud and basks in the warm sunlight.
It’s such a nice weather that I feel like I’m pounding my whole body because I’m full of drowsiness.
“What are you thinking?”
Daud, walking beside him with his hands in his coat pockets, asked that question. She tilted her head slightly and said what just came to mind.
“It’s an idle idea.”
It was actually like that. Victoria let out a laugh in response.
“That’s nice.”
“Yes?”
“You’ve always been hit by something. I don’t think you ever even tried to think of it.”
“…”
Victoria’s eyes narrowed.
“…Well, definitely. The ultimate goal is to kill Seras.”
After the bluntly spoken sentence, another sentence filled with cynicism followed.
“That sounds like something you would say, thinking of flirting in the middle of enemy lines.”
“Well, looking at the condition, I don’t think I’ll touch it until ‘preparation’ is over. So, can I miss this golden opportunity?”
“Yes?”
“I was given a golden amount of time to flirt with you privately. Whether it’s behind enemy lines or not, what’s more important to me is that side.”
“…”
“I don’t know what you would think. I really want to be friends with you. “
It is a short sentence, but the meaning contained in it is quite heavy.
‘…Anyway, if you really open your mouth…!’
He doesn’t change his facial expression very well and chooses words that tickle people’s hearts like this.
Among them, there were a number of sentences that could not be tickled and poked at all.
“…Noisy.”
In the end, even as Victoria, she couldn’t say anything more and could only grumble.
After that, we just walked around without much conversation. Crossing the main road and passing the crooked alley, observing the people passing by. Even though I didn’t have anything to buy, I snooped in the show windows of other stores, and I also bought snacks from suitable street vendors I met along the way.
-Actually, I bought too much. When Daud and Victoria came to their senses, they laughed at the wrapping paper in their hands.
She was eventually persuaded to sit down on a nearby bench and walk away.
“…Hmm.”
Victoria looked suspiciously at her meat sandwich, which was drizzled with red sauce.
It’s something Daoud bought for me, saying it’s a local specialty, but to be honest, he doesn’t look good at all.
However, it must be a bit like he doesn’t eat what he bought.
To make sure that Daud’s evaluation of being ‘sincere in a strange place’ is not overshadowed, she hesitated and finally took a bite of it with her mouth wide.
‘It’s delicious…!’
Of course, since she became the Grand Assassin, she has never run out of money, and she has tried all kinds of fine food. He also said that the food he ate at El Fante was great.
However, even for her, this is the first time she has had this kind of food.
To borrow Daud’s expression, there’s no way a person who always eats healthy food and dinner can’t stand the spicy, salty MSG bombardment food that is unique to the street.
In the end, she ended up hacking one of her sandwiches out of her way.
The fact that I felt a strange gaze from the other side of her was something I only noticed after getting rid of it all.
“…Hey.”
“Hmm.”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
I said it bluntly when I saw her shoveling in her wagu and gu food, and Daud smiling at her dad.
“No, I thought it was a good idea to bring him out.”
“…”
“You look so happy just by looking at them, I feel good too.”
“…Noisy.”
Victoria took another bite of her sandwich, blushing.
In the meantime, another sentence continued from the man on the other side.
“So, not everyone has the right to enjoy this.”
However, the voice was slightly lower than before.
Delicious food and peaceful boredom.
In fact, not much was given in Daoud’s life.
“That’s why I can’t forgive those who try to take it away.”
Victoria quietly raised her head and looked at Daoud, who was saying that.
Emotions are erased, expressionless. She is a face that knows very well what she is talking about.
Then he lazily stared into space. An eye light flickered between his gaze as he walked through the air.
As if I was dreaming.
“Come out on holiday with someone you like. Eat delicious food. A day where you can walk hand in hand in warm weather… I wholeheartedly affirm it. I also affirm the world where anyone can do these things.”
For that, forward.
Bleeding, bleeding.
Deceiving, cheating.
“In order to protect that… Well. Someone won’t have to step in. Because in a world with ‘me’ and ‘you’, I can’t see that happening.”
I am going to walk the road of thorns, the road of hell dotted with brimstone.
A calm declaration came out.
Victoria turned to Dowd, guessing the meaning hidden between her lines.
It is still a cool, expressionless expression. If only one layer of the skin covering his face were removed, it would immediately reveal what this man had ‘abandoned’ for what he had said. Even though his rotten blood and ooze would be dripping.
Victoria, too, saw clearly what this man did at the school play.
Undoubtedly.
It was impossible to do without sacrificing many of the things that make up ‘human’.
Humanity. Mortality bound by time. Emotions that make up the mind. The core foundations that make up oneself, all.
“…”
Because the way the world works is irrational, irrational violence arises. Idiots who want to wage war only for their interests are examples of that.
And in order to repair such irrationality, one man is destroying his own ‘dignity’ to the very end.
From noble mtl dot com
“…What?”
Daud asked, laughing at the sandwich being pushed out in front of him.
It’s obvious that he ate so deliciously until just now.
“…No.”
Victoria muttered at the corner of her mouth, but after a while she answered.
“I was just full.”
Don’t bother.
Just now, this man looked so pitiful. Because it means so much.
I couldn’t say that I felt the feeling of “I want to hug you” Even with my mouth torn apart.

“How was it?”
Around the time when the day was slowly going down, Dowd brought out those words.
“…”
After hesitating for a while, Victoria finally let out a sigh.
“…Not bad.”
I hate to admit it, but I can’t deny it either.
The time I spent with this man was better than I thought.
Perhaps, this man might not be as trash as she thinks.
While thinking about that.
“Then shall we go over there one last time?”
So said Daoud, pointing to one side with his finger.
And after Victoria’s gaze slid all the way behind it.
“…”
She decided to throw all her impressions she had just recalled into the trash can.
What, isn’t that trash?
Antlers…!
“…Pervert…!”
She growled at her words with her face red like mad.
That’s what Dawood has at his fingertips.
At a glance, it was an accommodation facility that glowed with something “Pink.”
