Alexander blinked and looked at the woman in front of him. She had light blue and green hair tied up in a bun.
She smiled as she met his gaze and held out her hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Maria. I teach your wife healing magic."
"I see... Nice to meet you too. I'm Alexander." He smiled and shook her hand, not denying the "wife" fact.
Victoria was naturally embarrassed but didn't say anything either. There was a strange atmosphere in the air, so Alexander smiled and spoke.
"How about we go to the cafe?"
"Sure." Maria smiled and then looked at Alexander's torn clothes and his injuries, chuckling. "But we'll patch you up first."
She put her hand on his head and a green light enveloped Alexander's body, instantly healing even serious injuries.
Alexander was pleasantly surprised when the pain was gone and he was back in peak condition.
"Thank you." He smiled and nodded.
"Always happy to help." Maria covered her mouth with her palm and giggled.
Alexander went into a separate room and changed his clothes. Together they left the building and headed in the direction of the cafe.
During this time Alexander noticed that the mood in town had returned to its usual state.
It seemed that the aftermath of the explosion hadn't affected the locals much. Well, Alexander understood why.
Such attacks were common, given the size of the Mortal World. Alexander sighed.
Getting used to the deaths and murders made Alexander worry about their future.
It feels as if they are already used to the fact that they will die. It's pathetic.
Alexander snorted, feeling annoyed. He understood that not everyone got such a thing as a system.
However, even the lowliest man has the potential to practice, but the inhabitants here are used to the fact that they will be protected by guards in any case equally.
This was too carefree an attitude for Alexander, considering that outside the Mortal World there is only death.
There the practice knows no laws or restrictions: everyone fights for themselves, forgetting about morality.
Such is the law set by the ruling family except in the Mortal World and some special spaces, practitioners have complete freedom.
Because of this, though the danger outside the Mortal World has grown, more high-caliber practitioners have emerged in return.
The S-level is now considered below average when it used to be respected.
Alexander and the two girls entered the cafe. Immediately a lot of attention was drawn to them.
Then Alexander felt the jealous glances of the guys. But he didn't feel bad about it; on the contrary, Alexander threw a smirking look at them.
Immediately angry mutterings were heard, but Alexander just shrugged it off. Victoria smiled but said nothing.
"Ara~ Aren't you lucky? So many guys are jealous of you." Maria smiled softly.
"I couldn't agree more. I'm really lucky." Alexander smirked and walked over to the table.
Like a true gentleman, he pulled back the chairs and asked the women to sit down.
"You have good manners. I wonder how many women's hearts you've broken?" Maria smiled and sat down.
Alexander comfortably pulled up a chair and repeated the same thing to Victoria.
"Well, I don't know exactly, but I got a lot of declarations of love during my studies." Alexander smiled and sat down at the table.
"О? I'm not even surprised. You had a girlfriend?" Maria raised an eyebrow and grinned.
"No. They're too immature for me to be interested in them."
Maria was slightly surprised, but remembering Victoria, who was sitting next to Alexander reading the menu, she smiled.
"It's my treat tonight, so you can order whatever you want." Alexander smiled and called out to the waiter.
"How nice of you! Then..."
Maria began ordering different dishes and their number kept growing. The waiter even looked at Alexander in confusion, to which he nodded.
Victoria didn't spare Alexander's wallet either, ordering different dishes. Alexander sighed.
"Who would have thought they liked to eat so much." Inwardly he smiled bitterly, but outwardly he showed indifference.
Though the number is small for him, he still had a bitter feeling left.
They spent the meeting talking, and eating various delicious dishes. Alexander learned a lot about Maria.
And just in the middle of the conversation...
Ding!
[Assignment received!]
[Task Type: Flirting]
[Give compliment Maria!]
[Reward: 40 milfhunter points.]
Alexander continued the conversation with a smile, but in his mind, he was in a panic.
It wouldn't have been so hard at normal times, but Victoria was beside him!
Watching the girl with shining eyes eating her food, Alexander felt desperate.
His brain was working at full speed, almost surpassing the efficiency of a quantum computer.
Magical energy was moving to his brain, speeding up his thoughts by a factor of five! After coming up with a hundred choices and five hundred answers, Alexander went wah-bank.
He smiled and pointed to Maria's dress, "You look so beautiful in it. Can you tell me where you bought it?"
"Ara~ Thank you very much." Maria smiled at the compliment and began to tell him where she bought it.
But even then she didn't stop and continued to babble on about the clothes. Alexander, naturally, kept her in the conversation.
Victoria also joined in and talked about her favorite clothing stores and companies.
Meanwhile...
[Mission accomplished! Rewards have been sent out!]
Observing the task, Alexander smiled and took Victoria's hands.
"Do you want to go shopping tomorrow?"
"I do! I do!" Victoria nodded assiduously with glowing eyes.
Alexander smiled and inwardly patted himself on the back, congratulating him on his safe victory.
Maria was smiling, too, but there was a tinge of envy in her eyes that disappeared very quickly.
Neither Alexander nor Victoria noticed it, so they continued to chat normally.
