Book 4: Chapter 18: Academy Festival #3 Kieran’s Date!

At the junction of the southern and eastern districts in St. Caroline Academy was an extremely famous street in the Holy Dragon Empire.

The street faced a sea of flowers and offered a panoramic view of endless mountains as well as various blooming flowers. It had always been the top favorite spot for couples to date.

It was for this reason that this place came to be known as Lovers Street.

On the night of the academy festival, this street reeked of the stench of romance.

Every couple in the academy had pretty much gathered here to watch the grand fireworks show that would be happening soon.

When the bright flowers bloomed in the sky and the romantic flowers on the ground shone brilliantly, boys with slightly higher EQ would seize the opportunity to whisper corny stuff about everlasting love to their partner in hopes to bring their relationship to the next level.

Who knows, they might soon be able to get into their partner’s pants!

At a time like this, a lovely girl standing alone by the entrance of the street that was filled with couples stuck out like a sore thumb.

“Sorry, I’m late!”

“At least you knew you’re late! You’ve been late for half an hour.” The young girl huffed at the young man who was panting from rushing all the way here.

“A man shouldn’t keep his girlfriend waiting that long.”

The young man scratched his head and explained apologetically, “Sorry, I’m late due to some incident at work.”

“Work? What work?”

“Actually... I just joined the disciplinary committee not long ago.”

“Disciplinary committee? Huh... I thought you’re not interested in that kind of organization.”

“Well... Quite a lot of things happened lately and before I knew it, I’m already part of the disciplinary committee.”

“Is that so? Speaking of that, you seem a little different now.”

“R-... Really?”

“Yeah, but I can’t quite put a finger on it.”

The young girl’s eyes roamed over the boy, trying to find out what was wrong.

“It... It must’ve been your imagination! Come on, the fireworks show is about to begin. Let’s go!”

The young man grabbed her hand and led her toward the street.

The young man was none other than Kieran who was disguised as ‘himself’ using the illusion gem.

The girl was Faye, his girlfriend from second-year whom he had been dating for a month.

The two started dating during summer break. Their relationship progressed quickly and they decided to go on an important date during the academy festival.

This was also the reason why Kieran took the risk of being turned into Kiera by Lilith and snuck out here.

There was no way he could break a promise to his cute girlfriend!

“Everything will be fine! I’ll go back after the date. This academy is huge, there’s no way I’ll run into that little devil,” Kieran continued assuring himself in his mind.

“Excuse me, both of you.”

A rather familiar voice suddenly came from behind, causing Kieran to jolt.

Although he had only heard this voice once, it undoubtedly belonged to the president’s secretary, Wendy.

Didn’t she take off after the president? How come she’s here?

“Are you okay? You seem to be sweating a lot.” Faye tilted her head to look at Kieran and asked with concern.Cheêck out latest novels on novel/bin(.)com

Kieran fell to his knees loudly on the ground. “I beg you, Lady Thea! I really don’t know where Lady Lilith is! Please leave me alone!”

“Ehhhh?? W-What’s... going on? Why are you suddenly kneeling...?”

“Whatever it is, I really don’t know where Lady Lilith is! So please go away!”

“A-Alright... I understand...”

Thea left confused.

At the same time, Faye looked like she was in great shock.

“K-Kieran... I remember that you aren’t someone who would easily kneel before anyone.”

“I know...” Kieran held Faye’s hands and spoke affectionately, “I know it is disgraceful of me to do that but please, believe me, this is for our future.”

“Huh? ...Is it that important?”

“Of course! It’s very important!”

If he were turned into Kiera, how would he continue this relationship with Faye?

They couldn’t possibly be a lesbian couple, could they?

“I see.” Faye stroked his head and spoke gently, “I believe you.”

“Faye... you’re really an angel. I am truly blessed to have such a beautiful, lovely, gentle, virtuous and understanding girlfriend like you!”

“Stop it, you’re making me shy.”

“Let’s go then.” Kieran smiled, “We’ll definitely be able to catch the fireworks today.”

“Hold it right there.”

The smile on Kieran’s face froze and he turned his head around stiffly.

What entered his sight was none other than President Diana.

So you’re really hiding here!!

“Excuse me...”

“Enough.”

“What?”

“I SAID THAT’S ENOUGH!!!” Kieran broke down and yelled, “Why... Why do all of you have to treat me this way? I... I just want to date in peace!! That’s not too much to ask for right? I just want to go on a date, but each and every one of you keeps coming up to me! You just want to make things difficult for me and tell that little devil about it right? I know! I know everything!!”

“Um... what are you talking about?”

“Quit pretending! It’s funny, right? It’s very amusing, right? Wendy! Thea! You two must be hiding somewhere and laughing, right? You just want to see how pathetic I look! It must be very fun to see that little devil transform me from Kieran to Kiera right?!!!”

Diana and Faye were speechless.

“I’ve had enough! I’ve had enough of all this! Leave me out of this!”

Kieran’s eyes turned bloodshot as he roared hysterically like he’d lost his mind.

“Kieran...” Faye wanted to say something, but Kieran ran away without looking back as though he plucked up the courage to confess, only to find out that his crush already had three boyfriends.

On the other hand, President Diana had a look of confusion on her face.

“I only wanted to ask for directions since I’ve never been here before. That was uncalled for.”

“Now that I think of it... That kid looks kind of familiar. I think I’ve seen him somewhere before... who was that?”
