"...... date?

"Yes.

My heart may be beating even harder now than it was when I was fighting.

After all, you are asking a woman on a date without any preparation or arrangement, and you never thought you could ask her out on a spur of the moment basis.

Since you asked the supervisor, a woman who needs to be carefully prepared, the atmosphere in the room seems to have changed a little bit since you asked her out.

The look on the supervisor's face when she asks back is one word: suspicion.

That's all I can say.

He seemed to be trying to figure out why I was doing this at this point in time.

"Did those two guys give you a run for your money?

"No, it's my decision.

It may have been Instructor Fusio's words that triggered it, but it was my intention to stand here and release those words.

My behavior was puzzling to the supervisor, who seemed to think that the two of us were involved.

But my answer was a negative.

The supervisor is even more unconvinced, folding his arms under his chest and murmuring, "I'm sorry for what I said the other day.

"Do you care about what we talked about last time?

"I suppose that's what triggered it.

I respond with alacrity and an air of being at an interview.

I answer without lie and without lag in what they ask for.

The supervisor's brow wrinkles as he responds without hesitation.

......

As for me, I thought that if there was no pulse, I would just say it was stupid and be discarded.

Rather, I thought it was more or less the pattern.

And if there was a slight chance of a pulse remaining, I thought that if there was, I would get an answer right away, but surprisingly, the supervisor's answer was silence.

That is to say, he was troubled by my answer.

That's a rare sight in a way.

But, for better or worse, I think it's a good trend.

Because being torn means there's at least a chance that it's not zero.

But regardless of whether I have a pulse or not, I'd like to have at least one date with him.

"Huh.

I stood thinking about it for a minute waiting for the supervisor's answer, and the first thing that came out was the supervisor's sigh.

She hates to show her weakness.

As I wondered if it was that much of a wish, the supervisor opened his mouth with a disgusted laugh.

You say you have a wish, and guess what kind of a wish you want to date me. It's not a suggestion. In a way it's a tall order, but I wonder when it will happen again. When is the last time a man asked me to meet him?

Then he slowly walked toward me.

And without saying a word, he looks at me.

There's not much difference in height, but the supervisor is slightly shorter.

As a result, I end up standing like a scene from some romantic drama where I'm being looked up at.

It's tactful, but I have a question for you. Why did you ask me out?

As befits the scene, the supervisor's tone of voice was much softer than usual.

"I've thought about it,

What did you think?

I only acted because I was at a loss as to why I asked the supervisor out on a date.

The reason was plain and simple.

I wanted to see if I could like her myself.

I have feelings for the director now.

But whereas I used to like the supervisor as a supervisor, I see the supervisor more as a woman these days.

Whether as the opposite s*x or as a supervisor at work, my feelings have been blurred and I'm asking this question to find out.

I don't want to know anything, and I don't want to be just vaguely influenced by the situation.

I can't get married just because of my job as a political marriage.

I knew exactly what I should think about in that part of the story.

So, what I did was to go on a date with the supervisor and get a firm grasp on my feelings.

It may not be the same as going back to the beginning, but I think it's a good idea to re-evaluate.

And in order to do so, we need more than just a normal conversation.

That's why I was so fired up to ask you out on a date like this.

Or a political marriage, but I wanted to make sure that we liked each other afterwards.

If you can like each other, fine.

I can be with her.

But if I couldn't, I'd probably regret it even if I got ahead in this demon king's army.

I didn't want to act that way.

To put it simply: marry if you can love her or refuse if you can't.

A choice might take me away from my career, but I knew that this was the way it had to be.

I decided to surrender to these two choices without complications.

It might sound like an excuse, but that's about the only reason I asked you out on a date.

I'm sorry.

After I got it all out, the supervisor apologized to me.

He could have cut me off as an idiot, but the supervisor took me seriously.

You were just involved," he said, "but you could have grown up more slowly.

How feeble.

I'm not sure if it's an act or not, but I have no reason to believe that those words were her true intentions.

"I have the status, but I would have preferred to take my time with Suela and the rest of the business, not marry a woman like this.

The supervisor's words could certainly have been my one future.

If it weren't for me, the vanguard.

If my instructors hadn't been the two I have now.

If there was someone more active than I am now.

You can talk all you want about if.

But that was a process, a passing thought.

Maybe if you lived that life, and you had the chance to hear me talk about what I'm doing now, you'd say it would be better.

I'd be lying if I said that the supervisor's words were not attractive .

Doing my job normally, no commotion, having dinner with Suela, going out with Memoria, playing with Himiku... it was a happy life, I'm sure.

I'm sure it's a happy life, but I have no regrets about the experiences I've had since I joined this company, although I might say it's been tough on me.

If is if, and reality is reality.

So maybe it's not so bad that I got into this relationship with my supervisor.

If the consequence of that action is a political marriage with a supervisor, then it's self-imposed at worst.

At best .

Because, you see. After all, you get to date a beautiful woman after you've worked hard, right? People will say that I'm a perk as a man.

You can say it's a result of hard work.

If you say it's a recognized result, that's not a bad thing.

And if the price of that achievement is a beautiful woman as a supervisor, then it's the best thing for a man.

If this was about a young lady you don't know, you would have gotten down on your knees to the instructors or consulted with Suela and the others to see how you could say no without making waves.

Superintendent, no, it's precisely because you're Evia that you're in such distress.

The supervisor rolled his eyes a little when I jokingly mentioned it to him, and then he smiled his usual sadistic smile.

Well, I guess I was wrong about you.

"Devalued?

"Well, I can't tell you what other people's assessments are, because I'm in a position where I can't give you that assessment. I can't give you that assessment.

"It's not fair.

Yes, I'm a cunning woman.

The supervisor, who slid away and turned his back to you, just turned his head and chuckled.

She looked so attractive to me that I secretly thought I might not need to date her.

I haven't had a guy ask a girl out on a date like that in a long time.

"What a waste, you're so beautiful, what were the guys doing around you?

"Well, for the honor of all the men around me, I'll tell you that you're the first person I've had the pleasure of hitting on in this way as long as I can remember. But it's not bad to be praised head-on. Especially if it's not flattering.

I'd rather lie to a supervisor and upset him than have him lie to me.

You gotta mince your words a little bit there, okay?

"I'll do my best.

We laugh a little and shake our shoulders at the supervisor, who tells us to be careful what we say, as if we are dumbfounded.

The initial tension is gone.

The exchange was like a recent normal conversation between us.

"Well, Jiro. It's a date.

"Yes, it's a date.

And so the story goes back to the beginning.

I came here originally to ask the supervisor out on a date.

It's much easier to get answers like this than to have the conversation vague.

Go ahead.

And this time, the supervisor simply gave me his approval.

"What you're looking for in a date is a mutual understanding of good and bad feelings. I think it's better for us to have that opportunity in the future.

It's true, but it's not very s*xy to say.

"What? Should I be s*xy?

"If you can,

"Yes. ......

I feel like I'm being taken in by the supervisor's pace, but I have a feeling I'll be able to achieve my goal, so I'll keep going.

The supervisor thinks for a few seconds at my suggestion that you should be s*xy, and then he quickly closes the distance between you and me and hugs my arm.

"I'm going to have more fun than you think, okay?

A slightly flushed expression and soft words that are not usually shown.

And the soft feminine touch on your right arm and the faintly sweet scent of her.

The opposite of her usual dignified and cold actions.

The double attack, physical and mental, aimed at the gap between the two, would have made my face red at once.

"I'll have to work on this area too. This kind of exchange is commonplace for a nobleman. I like that you're new at this, but keep that expression to your people. I don't want to get caught in a honey trap after we're married.

They warned me that in some cases they would say I was pregnant just by talking to me, but I had to respond with a wobbly response.

The supervisor gave me the s*x appeal I requested, but it was a bit irritating.

Godd*mn it, I thought to myself, lamenting inwardly, I had to turn my head away and respond in a way to cover up my happiness, but I had to do something about it.

Satisfied with my reaction, the supervisor gently lets go of my arm and stands in front of me.

Now, as you requested, I have a date, but unfortunately I'm busy. It takes time to take a vacation. I'm sorry, but you'll have to make the holiday work for me.

That's not a problem.

"Well, okay then,

He held his face and tried to hide his slightly flushed face, but the supervisor, who looked pleased with the act, happily told him of his future plans.

Oh, Superintendent.

What, you can't call me by my name like you did before?

"...... Mr. Evia.

"What's blushing. You called me once.

This devil needs to be teased. ...... No, it's the devil that needs to be teased.

"Your reaction was so cute, I forgive you. So what is it? Is there more to it than just dating?

I tried to tell him one more thing, but he told me to call him by his name instead of the usual way, and then teased me for blushing again when I remembered our earlier exchange.

But I don't want to stop here.

No, this has to do with the date, but I was wondering if you would let me plan my first date, myself.

"How does that mean you're going to escort me around?

It's not so formal, though. I hope the director, or rather Ms. Evier, will be able to enjoy a date with an ordinary Japanese man.

"Hmm.

I want you to get to know me on a date.

So I thought a Japanese date would be better than an uptight fantasy date.

The question is, can the supervisor get out of the office?

The supervisor has a position, unlike us.

I know this is a little bit of a stretch.

Normally I would think it's a no, but a supervisor would think it's a no.

All right.

And the half-aspired expectation was accepted.

"A little bit of preparation, but nothing that can't be done. I'm interested in the outside world, too.

No, let me correct you slightly.

The supervisor seemed unexpectedly enthusiastic.

The supervisor's mood was pleasant, just because he said he was interested.

Seeing that, I suddenly remembered.

I knew the name of the store when I brought you a cake before.

And recently, I had been asked to buy a cake for you.

Just by chance, I thought, but I never said anything about it.

"Jiro.

"Yes.

I'm looking forward to it.

"Yes, me too,

But what I can tell you is that this action was probably better than I expected.

Word of the Day

Fun is something you make, not something someone else decides for you.
