ETHAN ASHER P.O.V:
The girl walked past me and stood near Master Waylen.
I tried to stop starring at her and sat controlled in my seat. But she was starring at me with an angry look.
I just continued to chat with Master Waylen regarding my third trial. But the girl continued to glare at me. I couldn't help myself and gave my glare back at her.
Suddenly, "Hey, Do you Think I'm weird?" She asked with a fierce tone with an awkward face.
"Eh"
I was perplexed by that question, and I was afraid that staring at her before might've irritated her.
I turned to look at Master Waylen after hearing him sigh. Was she truly disappointed in me? I don't want to be the guy who offends a girl. It would sour my chances of finding a girlfriend in the future.
Just when I was thinking and seeing how unanswered I was, "Hey, boy! I asked you a question?" the girl asked again with an intimidating tone.
What should I do now?
"No Miss...I guess!" I just answered with the thought of not offending her.
"That's Good! Then why are you starring at me?" She asked me.
"Ah..I could ask the same to you miss!" I replied. Well, she does starred at me with an angry face just now.
"Forget it! I'm Leaving" the girl said as she walked to the door. But before she got to the door, Master Waylen coughed and said "Not so quickly! Rogue Angel!" which managed to stop her.
"Blue Grim, your trail is starting tomorrow. Now Miss Rouge Angel will take you to a good inn for today !" He stated.
Is he being serious?
"Unc...master!!!!! Why should I do that? I have many works to do!! I can't take this guy to an Inn!" Rogue Assassin said out loud.
"Nana!" as soon as Master Waylen called her with a deep tone, "Alright! Alright! I will take him!" she replied without any hesitations.
I guess I will play along.
"Then, I will meet you tomorrow near the Holy Tree Master Waylen!" I gently said to him and turned my gaze towards Rogue Angel.
"Good Luck" He said as he patted and pushed me towards the door.
The Girl sighed and said "Follow me!" by turning aside from my face.
He said Good luck, I wonder what he meant by it.
....
We both walked out of the entrance. The Girl slowly uncovered her face by taking off the mask she was wearing.
"Beautiful!" I unconsciously slipped my words. Jeez, its so embarrassing to get this feeling.
"Wh...what?" The Girl Angrily yelled at me with a bright red face.
"I'm so sorry Miss. I'm really sorry! I couldn't resist my words!" I replied.
The Girl relaxed and took a deep breath. "Forget it, Boy, it's just that you make me feel so embarrassed when you say things like that to me. Do you have any idea why this is happening? "She inquired.
She is asking...me? I guess having the maturity of my previous life helps me understand the feelings I have here. Its so sudden, and this girl's innocence in these things shouldn't be developed with my words. Even if I feel the same way and fall for her, it is her responsibility to understand these kind of things.
I cleared my throat and replied, "Miss, I don't know about that. May be we could be friends and see how it goes?"
The Girl quickly smiled and replied, "Yes, your right. Lets be friends. My name is Evana Valen, what's yours?"
Is she serious? she just said her name without any thinking! Isn't she supposed to be an assassin?
"Eh...you just told me your name! Isn't that restricted in the Council to not reveal your identities?" I asked her with a smile.
"Hahah...Don't worry my new friend! You are going to become an assassin after all!" She replied.
She already confirmed it? Isn't that some kind of tough trial?
"Yes...but..."
"Don't worry silly! I've faith in you!"
Ever since comming to this world, even my father who trained me didn't say anything like this. This is the first time someone has actually believed me without taking my skills and abilities into account. It like a push, that can even make me pass through hell without any problems.
Evana, Even if I'm stable, I'm afraid I'll fall for you.
"Right! My name is Ethan...Ethan Asher. You can call me Eth!" I replied to her.
"Ethan eh! That's a great name. And I don't have any particular way to shorten my name. You know...everyone who knows me...call me...however they like." She said.
Mm, if that's the cause, I will call her Eve. But it sounds exactly like my name.
"Okay Evana, I will call you...Eve! How does that sound?"
"Eve?...Okay..." She responded with a flushed face.
I guess she likes it.
...
We were chatting near the entrance and didn't even realize we hadn't started walking out. It took a while to clear that awkwardness, but Eve took me to the inn I would stay for the night.
Eve returned to the Holy Tree after I had obtained a room, mentioning that she needed to meet someone there.
It's crazy, Eve started out as a bumpy start, but after speaking with her, I guess she didn't seem to have any friends other than a few people she knew, like Master Waylen.
Well, It's not like I have any either.
I just hope I don't offend Eve. Her mana control was far superior to mine. Apart from her speech and actions, her mana was already spread out in a large way even from the time I first met her, and with my knowledge, it was like some kind of mana sensing skill to perceive a threat within a wide area.
She is really talented.
