"What! You lost to senior Ken of the exercise club?" Beatrix said in shock.
"Do you have to go on a date with him tomorrow?" Mania asked again.
"Yes." Mariel answered.
"So, what are you going to do? Do you have any clothes to wear for tomorrow's date?" Beatrix asked.
"Just a long-sleeved white shirt and jeans." Mariel replied while checking through the closet and bringing out the outfits for her friends to see.
"This kind of outfit is not good enough." Beatrix said, shaking her head in disapproval.
"I really like your style." Mania said.
"But I don't have any left." Mariel said.
"You're even taller than me. My dress won't fit to you." Beatrix said while thinking.
"Um...Would you like to try on my mother's clothes? Mariel." Mania said after just thinking of an idea.
"You, have it? Mania." Mariel said with hope.
"Let me take a look for a moment." Mania said, looking through a large suitcase that had some clothes left in it.
"Why do you have your mother's clothes kept?" Beatrix asked curiously.
"When I am far away from home for a long time, and I miss my hometown. I often bring out something like my mother dress into my hand to look at it and hug it for thinking of my family." Mania said with reasonably.
Mariel immediately thought of the earring while was given to her by her mother. This is like a representation of her parents that when she thinks of them, Mariel often uses her hands to touch or look through the mirror in the bathroom as it's like being encouraged again.
(It's only been a few days. But I began to miss my father Deric and mother Claudia. If I had a chance during the holidays, I would probably find some time to go back and visit them at home.) (Chai thinking)
"You're so beautiful! Mariel." Mania said happily after looking at Mariel who tried on her mother's dress.
"Not bad at all." Beatrix admired.
Mariel wore a white, short-sleeved shirt with floral print. As for the long skirt, it is light blue with a flower pattern all over the edge of the skirt. It felt like a teenager girl who was ready to learn about the first date of her life.
"Do you have a women's crossbody bag yet?" Beatrix asked.
"No, I didn't have any." Mariel replied.
"Don't you have anything of women accessories? Ok. I'll lend you mine." Beatrix shook her head and searched for a red women's shoulder bag in her suitcase and gave it to Mariel.
Mariel took it and carried it beside her body and walked to look in front of the large mirror again. It made her feel more confident than before.
(Women could dress beautifully like this. So, when I dressed like this, I looked so beautiful too.) (Chai thinking)
"Excellent! Here you are. The red-color lipstick's just for you." Beatrix said, handing the red lipstick to Mariel. Then she searched for a women's makeup set as well.
"Then let me help you too, I would find the perfume that my mother gave to me. It would give a pleasant smell to your body." Mania said with a smile.
"I look like a makeup doll for both of you." Mariel teases.
"Yes, you are." Beatrix said.
Mariel tries on her own makeup for the first time, and it appears that she came up with a strange horror make up face.
When she turned to look, Beatrix and Mania screamed in shock and hugged each other tightly as if they had seen ghosts.
"Have you never worn make up before? It's like something out of a ghost movie. I'm shocked that your face is so white!" Beatrix shouted, a little shocked when she saw Mariel's face.
"The first time it was probably something like this. My heart would have a heart attack too." Mania said with a look of pity in her eyes and put her hand on her chest.
"Well, I've never worn makeup for sure and never used any perfume too." Marielle said with sadness.
"I understand. You are only interested in practicing swordsmanship like you said. Well, tomorrow I'll volunteer to help your wear makeup by myself." Beatrix said.
"Thank you very much." Mariel said gratefully.
"Make-up will be charged a price." Beatrix said.
"I will cook your favorite foods for a month instead." Mariel negotiated.
"I Accept this!" Beatrix accepted the offer with a sparkle in her eyes.
"You always accept everything especially foods." Mania teased.
"Eating is a big deal!" Beatrix said.
They sat and had fun chatting while teaching Mariel how to apply makeup, then they finished their homework together, cooked dinner together and went to bed early because tomorrow there is an important mission for Mariel, and it is the first date.
Next morning, Senior Ken is waiting at the school gate in his cool dating outfit. He chose to wear a black T-shirt and blue jeans to a good looking. His feeling is very nervous because he has never gone on a date with a woman since I was born. His body was trembling slightly, but he was trying to keep his act normal.
Senior Jack was hiding in the bushes not too far away. He came and observed these two people closely with jealousy.
"Oh, Senior Jack! Who are you spying on around here?" Jerrick happened to be walking by and asked curiously.
"Shh...be quiet. Today my lovely Mariel will go on her first date with Year 3-Senior Ken!" Senior Jack said and asked Jerrick to Keep his mouth quiet.
"What!! My angel Mariel is going on a date. I can't stand it!" Jerick said with anger.
"Today we're going out to scout at them and don't let them find out, understand?" Senior Jack said.
"Alright, today we are the allies together. We must follow them closely together." Jerrick said while they were holding hands for a temporary truce.
"Wait a long time? Senior Ken." a familiar female voice rushed over with an anxious voice.
When Senior Ken turned around and looked, he was stunned by the beauty in front of him because Mariel was dressed in a white shirt with a floral pattern and a long light blue skirt with a floral pattern as well. In addition, she also put on makeup until she looked more beautiful than before. She also used a light red lipstick which made her look even better, and included carrying a red crossbody bag that looks very suitable for her too.
"No, not at all. Mariel! You are very beautiful." Senior Ken said with a slightly embarrassed red face. It made him even more nervous than before.
"Thank you." Mariel thanked him with an embarrassed expression as well.
"It's broken my heart!" Senior Jack said with a look of jealousy on his face.
"I really want to replace at Senior Ken right now!" Jerrick added.
"Senior Jack and Jerrick, what are you doing around?" Beatrix said, walked with Mania and greeted them.
"Be quiet! We're going to spy on them on a first date." Senior Jack turned around and spoke.
"We will scout on them too." Mania said with a smile.
"Then we all have an important mission today." Jerrick said.
Then Senior Ken called for a horse carriage, and they rode into the city near the western zone. The destination is a famous amusement park in the city called Roller Land, which has more than 30 types of rides inside.
As for the remaining 4 people, Jerrick called a luxury car to pick them up and drove behind that horse carriage, keeping a considerable distance so that they wouldn't be suspicious.
"We have arrived. The Roller-land." A horse carriage driver said.
Mariel is not very familiar with high heels because she normally doesn't think of wearing them, but Claudia gave her a pair in a suitcase. So, she needs to wear them for an important school party or other special occasion. As a result, when stepping out of the carriage, she stumbled on the edge of stepping onto the carriage.
"Oops!" Mariel stumbled as she stepped out of the carriage and fell to the ground, but Senior Ken rushed in and grabbed her just in time.
"Are you alright? Mariel." Senior Ken said with a shy face.
"No, I'm ok. Thank you, Senior Ken." Mariel responded with a shy expression on her face because she had never been in such a man's embrace like this before.
This scene made Jerrick and Senior Jack grit their teeth and claw at the edge of the luxury car with incomparable envy.
"I want to be that guy who holds my lovely Mariel in my arms!" Senior Jack said.
"I want to hold My Angel Mariel in my arms whole day." Jerrick said.
Senior Ken had already made a circle of various amusement park rides on a map. He plans carefully which they will play first, then they go through interesting rides one by one until they reach the last one because if they come to make decisions here with no plan, it may waste time, especially the first date must be perfect.
"Should we play the roller coaster first?" Senior Ken asked because he was afraid that Mariel would not dare to play this ride.
"Yes, we are." Mariel answered in a loud, clear voice.
(Since I was born in this new world, I have never played with these rides before in my life. Even in my past life, I never once went to an amusement park with anyone. Now I feel very excited about having the opportunity to play these rides at the amusement park. It's like fulfilling my childhood dream that I've waited for a long time.) (Chai thinking)
They had fun playing on the roller coaster, then they had fun driving an electric car and chasing each other. They also collided with other people's cars, making loud laughter in this ride.
There were more than 15 rides that were played until noon, Senior Ken invited Mariel to sit and eat together at a small restaurant in the amusement park. The table was full of sweet drinks, French fries, hot dogs, fruit, and vegetable salads. They ate and enjoyed their meals together.
"Senior Ken, you've got something on your mouth." Mariel said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe around Ken-senpai's mouth which was a sauce from the hot dog, she looked a bit worried.
"Thank you very much." Senior Ken replied with a nervous expression.
"I am so jealous!!!!!" Senior Jack said with tears streaming down both cheeks.
"Someday there will be my chance." Jerrick said.
"These two guys really are hopeless." Beatrix said with pity.
"I feel sorry for them. Miss Beatrix." Mania said.
"I told you to call me just Beatrix." Beatrix said and reminded her friend again.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Mania immediately apologized.
In the afternoon, Mariel and Senior Ken played another 10 rides until it was almost time for the evening, so they rode on the Ferris wheel ride for the last time.
"The view around the capital city is beautiful." Mariel said, admiring the view of the city through the glass of the Ferris wheel.
"Yes, it's really beautiful." Senior Ken said.
Then Senior Ken gathered his courage, slowly stood up and walked over to kneel in front of Mariel. This made her a little shocked as to what Senior Ken was going to do.
"Senior Ken, why are you kneeling?" Mariel asked curiously.
(It's strange that a man kneels in front of a woman. It was like I was confessing something in her mind. Don't let it be like I thought, please.) (Chai thinking)
"I really like you, Mariel." Senior Ken gathered his courage for a moment and slowly said these words in front of her.
Mariel was shocked because she didn't expect that Senior Ken, who had only known each other for one day, would get to the point of confessing his love.
(Here it comes, it's the way I thought. What should I do? How can I refuse to keep the goodwill of him?) (Chai thinking)
"Uh...well...I think...it'd be better if we keep our statue as brother and sister. We've only known each other for a day." Mariel answered awkwardly.
This answer caused Senior Ken to remain silent for a while, but he understands the situation well because they have only met for a few days, and it would be impossible for her to respond to his feelings immediately. But at least he has confessed his feelings to her.
"It's ok. At least I confessed my feelings to you, and I am satisfied. Please don't be mad at me for this, and we can be brother and sister." Senior Ken said, accepting Mariel's answer.
Mariel slowly leaned down, almost touching Senior Ken's face. Then she used her right hand to lightly touch his right cheek. The warmth of the young girl's hand which made Senior Ken's heart skip a beat. He was acting completely nervous at that time.
"Please be my lovely brother, and I will always be by your side." Mariel said with a smile.
This answer made his heart swell with joy. It was an answer like a magic spell that gave him more strength to live.
"Thank you very much, Mariel. I promise to take care of you the best I can. If you need any help, you can always come to see me at the exercise club." Senior Ken said as he almost burst into tears.
They walked out of the Ferris wheel to prepare to go back to school. As for the other four people, they all had different feelings.
"Looks like the first date went well." Mania said with a smile.
"Mariel is going to have a real boyfriend." Beatrix said.
"I can't accept it! My lovely Mariel must belong to me!" Senior Jack said with tears streaming down both cheeks.
"To your answer, over my dead body first!" Jerrick said with anger.
"Then I will be the first one who finished you!" Senior Jack said.
"Come on!" Jerrick prepared well.
A sound hit the two men's heads so hard that they both fainted.
"Be quiet, they will hear us." Beatrix said after hitting them with her magic wand just moments ago.
While on the way back, suddenly Senior Ken said something after thinking about it for a while.
"If you don't mind. Can I stop by one place with you first?" Senior Ken asked with a sad expression on his face.
"Uh… yes." Mariel responded in surprise.
The horse carriage driver heard Senior Ken's whispered words and immediately turned the carriage in another way. This made Mariel think in her mind where exactly that place was.
"Probably not the way I thought. No, Senior Ken definitely wouldn't do that." Mariel thought positively.
After a while, the carriage stopped at a place where a large building towered in front of them.
"...this place..." Mariel exclaimed in surprise.
