3rd Person POV
"I'm your fan", A person said. He had black hair with a fairly average face. He was sitting on a fallen tree that acted like a chair.
Next to him was a blonde hair beauty. She had beautiful Big Blue eyes and Blonde Hair that reached her waist. She was so beautiful that it wouldn't be wrong if someone says that she's taken out of an Elven Movie.
One would think twice of what such a beauty had to do with an Average looking man. It seemed they were having a conversation on some topic, but the atmosphere was overly akward.
"Huh?"
The blone hair beauty seemed surprised at what the black haired student said. It seemed that he said something that the beauty thought he never would have said. And so, she was surprised, but there was also many more emotions rising in the depths of her heart.
Yes, she was flustered. But along with that, there was anxiety. For whatever reason, it seemed that the girl was afraid of something. Seeing the awkwardness and flustered face of the girl, the man said,
"Is it that hard to believe, Rachel-sii?"
The blonde haired beauty, or now known as Rachel, was staring at the man. She than replied,
"...Well, you said the same thing back when you rescued me before as well. I thought you were joking, Hajin."
The girl, seemingly flustured, forgot to add the honorifics when they weren't even close friends, at least in the Man's eyes.
"..."
"..."
*Sigh*
There was an akward silence again, than the man, or now called Hajin, let out a sigh. He than said,
"Well... I just wanted to help you."
But Rachel instantly replied,
"That doesn't mean you would risk your life just to save someone you don't even know that well, Hajin-sii"
She seemed to have recovered from the previous shock. Believing that the other party was still joking, she left those thoughts aside and came to the conclusion that he just didn't want to talk about it.
"..."
"Ah! Its okay if you don't want to talk about it!"
"...Its just something in the past."
"O-Oh, Okay. But at least allow me to reward you something Hajin-sii."
She said politely. It seemed that she still hadn't given up on giving him something in return. After all, the person in front of her was her saviour. Who wouldn't want to give something to a person who saved your life, twice?
"Than, can we be friends?" He said looking aside.
"...Aren't we already are...?" She said seemingly confused.
"Hmm?"
"We have already done everything what normal friends do. Like study together, eating together, talking, helping each other... Although the last one was only one-sided it seems..."
"...If you put it that way, than I guess?"
"Than, I have a request!", Rachel said. She had a faint blush on her face, seemingly embarrassed about the request she's about to ask.
"Hmm? Sure. If its within my power, I'll try my best to fullfil it."
"Mm, than..." She seemed to hesitate. Hajin was confused at what type of question it was. It seemed that he had never imagined that the princess in front of him had such a side, at least that's what seemed to be in his mind from the surface.
"Please ask away Rachel-sii, I'll tr--"
"Call me Rachel!" She cut off the man and said, embarrassment could be seen on her face.
"...what?"
"I mean remove the "sii". If we're friends, we should call each other normally, r-right?"
"...But you're a princess..."
"Again with that. Didn't you say we are friends... so you should at least call me by my name."
"Fine... Rachel-s--- R-Rachel!" He said, stuttering at the end since he failed in the first attempt.
"Mmm~ That's good. Than, I'll call you Hajin!" She exclaimed with joy. It seemed that this little change made her happy. It was as if she wanted to do this before, but only had the chance now.
"It will take a while though. I have to get used to calling you that, and from being called that by you...", the man said.
*Nod*
"Mm~ That's understandable. Its the first time for both of us, so Its normal for you to say that.", replied the princess, seemingly happy. At that moment,
*Thud*
*Thud*
Something kept hitting Hajin on his back.
"Hmm?" Hajin turned his face backwards and looked down. There, he saw a seemingly big seed that kept hitting him as if it needed something. To put it in one word, it was cute.
"Oh, you're awake Evandel?", Hajin said as he picked it up and put in on his lap. The seed moved his top part slughtly, seemingly trying to nod.
"Hajin..."
"Hmm?"
"What's... that?", Rachel said while pointing at the seed.
"H-huh? O-Oh this? Its my pet.", He seemed flustered all of the sudden. It seemed that he forgot there was another person beside him.
"A Pet?"
"Its a living seed. A sort of an egg... It was a reward for clearing a dungeoun."
"...You went to a Dungeoun?!"
"Huh?" Hajin seemed confused at first but than realized what he just said.
"O-Oh yeah. Ah, Don't worry! It was only a low level dungeoun."
"But still... We're cadets. What if this news reaches cube? And isn't it still dangerous?"
"Uhh! I made sure to make it so that it doesn't. And yes, its dangerous, but I can do it."
"Hajin... sometimes I wonder if you're normal..."
"Of course I'm normal! Who do you think I am?!"
"An annomally"
"Why?!"
"A normal cadet shouldn't be able to do what you did. They can't defeat Assassins of that level. They can't clear dungeouns."
"Well, just think that I can."
"And that's what makes you not normal!"
"Uhh!" It seemed this hit Hajin hard.
"Well whatever... Mm?", She left it at that, but than felt a thud on her legs. Something hitted her.
She looked down only to find the seed, or pet, that was in Hajin's laps a few moments ago.
"It seems that it wants you to pick it up."
"Hmm? Oh okay. Come here uh..."
"Evandel. That's its name."
"Than Evandel, come here." She said while picking it up and placing it on her lap.
The seed stopped moving, as if it was happy.
[Notice]
Just as they were talking, it seemed that he didn't hear the noise, or if he heard it, he decided to ignore it. Later on, this will be the beginning of a new special relationship between our other-wordly Hero and his beautiful elf-looking heroine.
[Relationship with a major character has improved drastically. 1000 SP has been acquired.]
