"Everyone is good to go! You have four hours of free time, so roam around Italy with your partners and please get along!" Lan announced, waving for everyone to disperse.
I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Good luck with your date... Rel," Jan whispered in my ear, smirking as he walked away.
That damn bastard. I knew if I had chosen any other stick, my fate would be different.
But there was nothing I could do to change these events now.
I turned to Valencia and noticed she was focused on the boats moving through the canal.
Maybe I could pass the time by going there.
I walked up to Valencia and tapped her shoulder.
"Hey."
"...!"
Valencia jumped in surprise, taking a few steps back.
Did she really get scared from me just tapping her?
Oh, man... this is worse than I thought.
I didn't want to ruin her mood, so I resolved to be on my best behavior.
I wouldn't let my expert knowledge of Italy go to waste.
