The Reason the Manager Left the Hunter Guild - Chapter 55
55 – Date
The center of the city as the meeting place.
In the plaza where a huge iron pillar called the Iron Danggan was erected, I silently waited for Nyale to come.
‘I came a little earlier than the promised time… I mean, this also makes me nervous.’
Although he was a colleague who had lived seeing his face for 20 years, despite this, at this moment I was feeling quite different from usual.
After all, her time with her was always based on her official relationship as a comrade-in-arms and her subordinate.
Of course, there were times when the two of us quietly spent time along the way, but even that was more like giving mental care while the war continued rather than dating.
In fact, it was the first time that we could officially call it a date.
‘I’ve been on a date with Hae-na before, but… It’s a different feeling from that time.’
The date I had with that hateful b*tch at the time was pretty good right now, but there was always something unpleasant.
Should I say that the feeling of drawing a line from the other person has always followed?
Anyway, it was far from a normal sensation, and in fact, the contents were close to fraud, so it was absurd in many ways to compare it with the current situation.
That was the time when I was waiting for her while looking at her cell phone in a fresh mood in many ways.
“Ah.. Ah.. Monk Tass.”
Nyale’s voice comes from the side.
I turned my head at the familiar yet welcome voice.
“Ah, here you go Niyal… ?!”
My gaze inadvertently turned to the girl standing next to her.
At that moment… I was momentarily put on a dazed expression due to a really unexpected scene.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m a little late…”
From noble mtl dot com.
“… “
Nyale apologizes to me in a trembling voice.
It was definitely a little bit later than the scheduled time, but it wasn’t too obvious.
The problem was, at this moment, that fact didn’t really matter to me.
“… Ah… Mr. Tass?”
Nyale carefully asks me while looking at me standing there blankly.
However, I couldn’t even answer her question for a while.
The reason was simple.
At this moment, the image of her in front of me…
Because it was so beautiful that it far exceeded what I thought.
A beauty with red eyes and black hair as always.
However, compared to the time when she usually wears glasses and insists only on her hair tied up in a neat black suit, there is a big difference in her appearance at this moment.
Instead of the usual suit, a bright spring day outfit in harmony with white and light yellow.
Her skirt was just above the knees, giving it a sensual feel but not being too vulgar.
Her long hair was slightly wavy and gently flowing, and she was not wearing her glasses.
In addition, the makeup that was appropriate enough to save her basic beauty and accessories including earrings made her beauty stand out even more.
Literally… Nyale radiates a beauty that makes one think that if a goddess had descended from the sky, she would look like this.
In fact, at this moment, quite a few people in the square were staring at her as if they had seen her as a celebrity, and I was the same.
“Hey.. Or… a bit weird… Song? So…To be honest, I was just going to come out, but Niglas did it and pushed me…”
“… Pretty..”
“B… yes?”
“Pretty.. Really a lot..”
“… Ah..”
Nyale starts blushing while avoiding her gaze as if embarrassed by my words.
Looking at her like this, I was momentarily seized with a strong urge to hug this beautiful and cute being. He barely suppressed her emotions and told her.
“Hey.. Um.. That.. Then, shall we move a bit first? There are a lot of eyes here.”
“Ah.. Yes, that’s good.”
Nyale answered my words with a look of great anticipation.
Looking at her like that, I started to feel that her face was instantly heated up by her beauty that felt even more intense.
“Well..Then..Should we hold hands? Anyway. First of all, it’s a date…”
“… Yes.”
Nyale speaks in one voice as if crawling into my words.
To be honest, holding hands was something I could have gotten used to if I was used to it, as we’ve been together for 20 years.
While holding Nyalé’s hand, which was a bit rough but felt warm, I slowly started to move deeper into the city.
‘Looking at it this way… I might be a very blessed guy…’
To be honest, my life itself has never been smooth, and I have experienced many setbacks.
‘Ah.. No.. Now is not the time to think like that.. For now, let’s focus on dating. First of all, as planned…’
Putting aside the idea of a city of refuge that suddenly came to my mind, the place I arrived with Niyale.
That place… Was the standard place for a date.
“This is… “
“Cinema, did Nyale say she wanted to come and see it before? There’s a movie with good reviews, so let’s see it together.”
“Yes, that’s good.”
Nyale looks like she’s expecting a lot from my words.
That’s how I went inside her movie theater with her.
Since we had already reserved our tickets in advance, I and Nyale took our seats without much difficulty.
As it was her first time to be in a place like this, Nyale was reacting with wonder to everything from her folding chair to the screen in front of her eyes.
‘If I knew you would like it this much, I would have brought you earlier..’
As I had been living so hecticly because I had work to do, I didn’t have time to even afford it.
To be precise, it’s not a matter of time. It doesn’t mean that I didn’t have enough of my heart.
‘From now on, I need to make my mind more comfortable. I need to help my colleagues as well as myself to do that…’
Just when I was thinking about that, the advertisement on the screen ended and the inside of the theater started to get dark.
And then the movie begins in earnest.
Watching this, Nyale focused her mind on the screen that was being shown in front of her eyes with bright eyes, and I also began to feel a lot more relaxed than before as I kept my eyes on the scene of the movie I was watching for the first time in a while.
Even in the midst of that, he still didn’t let go of Nyale’s hand and held onto it tightly…
*
The movie played for about two hours.
The overall content was a relatively passable romance, and frankly, compared to the public evaluation, there was a feeling that it was a little bland.
Personally, I wonder if the identity of the male protagonist was actually the final boss?
I thought what it would have been like if the female protagonist was actually a demon king from another world, but something a bit different.
‘Well.. Critics’ eyes and personal taste don’t always match..’
With that thought in mind, I asked cautiously as I watched Nyale leave the theater with me.
“How was it? Was the movie okay? To be honest, I didn’t feel a little bored after finding out…”
My question with a bit of apology.
But…
“… Great.. I did. It was really… really great.”
In response to my question, Nyale said in a slightly trembling voice.
To be precise, he answered in one voice as if he was quite moved.
“I was really surprised. I never imagined that people who couldn’t even use magic could have such abilities!”
“That.. Is it? What. I’m glad if you like it.”
“It was very interesting. No way the female lead was a demon like us… I never thought there would be a twist like this. How could you conceive of a story like this? After all, humans seem to have quite a talent for this.”
Nyale expresses sincere admiration.
Seeing her like this, I smiled a little bitterly and started to think quietly.
‘I’m sure I’ll have to come see her more often from now on.’
