Chapter 12 - Re-Encounter

Lieven town was doing a celebration of the yearly harvest that happens two months after the real harvest. People in the town distribute various dishes they make from a part of the harvest.

The entire town was bustling with people running here and there, and various stalls were seen around the streets selling clothes and accessories. Today the food was free at the food stalls which were installed around every corner.

" Can I have one more pie?" Dave asked the lady standing behind the stall.

" Yes, Of course." She smiled at him and then gave him the pie. " You are alone today?" She asked.

" Umm, Yes! We split up to explore different places." Dave answered it was true that all of them had split up because they all wanted to try different things. Maybe the townsfolk were cautious of the strangers, he didn't know the woman but she knew him. The four of them split up for different reasons.

Roy and Conan wanted to try the wine made by the villager, Max wanted to participate in the cooking competition, and Dave just wanted to eat something tasty. He had visited three places, eating a special bread that was sweet and very soft. Then there were some fruit drinks that he had tried. Now he was in the best place among all of them, here they were serving the best pies that he had ever tasted.

" Excuse me but do you have any date for today's dance?" Someone spoke, and when Dave turned he saw a beautiful girl looking at him.

It took a moment for him to process what was happening...He was being asked by a girl for a date.

The girl was beautiful without a doubt, she had dark brown hair, fair skin with a perfectly structured face. She was wearing a white blouse over a yellow gown.

" D-Dance? What dance?" He asked.

" There will be a dance in the town square if you want can I be your date for today?" She straight up asked him.

' Is this happening for real?' Dave thought.

" Yeah, I am okay with it," Dave spoke.

" Really!" She spoke cheerfully and then added, " My name is Emily, I will be in your care."

" My name is Jin, Emily I will be in your care as well." Dave introduced himself.

" Let's go Jin, I will show you our town." She said as she intertwined her arm with his, Dave wasn't ready for it.

" Are we going right now?" He asked.

" We can enjoy the festival till evening!" She spoke. " You are new here, so let me show you the best places." She offered.

As they walked several other girls stared at them, He was sure that he saw Emily sticking her tongue out at some of them but she was quite good at hiding this.

Dave's plan today was to just eat the good food, but he ended up having a date. Even though he wanted to try some of the other foods like muffins, he had to hold back because of Emily. She was a very energetic person, who never like to stay in one place for a long time. She introduced Jin to some of her friends and the people she knew.

However, it wasn't that bad, having a girl accompany him like that was not a bad thing at all. It was at this moment he realized that he had never had a proper date with a girl back on earth.

The reason was simple, he never interacted properly with someone from the opposite gender. He was always the guy who kept the focus on his studies and enjoyed the rest of the time playing games and watching movies. Even if some girls liked him, he never paid much attention to that.

' It's not that hard?' He thought.

He would have probably focused on the food today but being asked out on a date was a nice thing as well. Just as Emily said, she showed him many enjoyable places.

They saw a stage play, the story was about a farmer and his magical shovel. Then they also enjoyed the game stalls, there was a shooting game here as well. Unfortunately, Dave failed miserably at winning the prize but Emily won two times. She kept the teddy bear after Dave refused to have one of them. They also played some other games and he lost in them as well, but losing was also fun. Every time they were looking forward to what to do next.

They also went to see the cooking competition, and he was happy to see that Max won 3rd place. As for Roy and Conan, they were the champion of the drinking competition.

Emily and Dave didn't stay there for too long, he was embarrassed that he even took her to such a place but she didn't mind. Then after that, they also went to buy some accessories. It was Dave's method of appreciating her for the date.

The day was coming to an end as the time for Dance at the Town square finally arrived. If Dave was good at one thing, it was Dance. He was forced by his family to learn to dance and he understood today why that was important.

They first watched some people dancing, it was simple so they went to the next group of couples for the dance. She was also good at dancing, he wondered how was she able to do everything.

If he was in a normal situation Dave would have liked to have a relationship with a girl like her. Both of them kept dancing to the music while others watched, they could hear people cheering for them, mostly they were calling Emma's name since nobody knew him.

Once the music ended they left so that the other group can participate.

" It was amazing, Jin, Let me dance with you once again." She requested as she grabbed his arm even more tightly.

However, just when they were enjoying thier time together, they heard a commotion happening.

" Bandits are coming! They are coming here! Please Save us!" Someone shouted.

Emily and Dave went to see who they were. Dave was easily able to recognize the people. It was the trio of those noble children, who were in a bad shape, and half of thier knights.
