They were shocked when my new Ranking was showed in academy top 10 ranking boeard.
Most of all Emma was glaring dagger at while we were waiting at Nova station.
I could only sigh at that her reaction, she was acting childish but i loved to see her like that.
In fact, i even rubbed my new rank on her face.
It was pretty fun.
Well, Anyway Currently I and Evelyn is walking in street of Azurhaven.
I quickly took quick glance at Evelyn and turned my head forward.
I don't know why but staying alone with her is feel somewhat weird.
I could feel that my heart speed up quite bit when i glance but i forcedfully ignored it.
"Just were are you taking me?" Evelyn said as she glanced at our surroundings.
"Ah, Right."
In my thoughts i forget the way, im really bad with roads.
"What's right?"
"Nothing. Just follow me."
Evelyn crossed her arms as though she doubted my manliness. She pouted and spoke curtly.
"And how do you know where anything is?"
"I know better than you."
I know only two restaurants – a cheap and delicious restaurant and an expensive restaurant that was worth its cost. I was okay with either, but the latter should fit Evelyn's taste more.
I turned on the GPS guide to the more expensive restaurant.
"Follow me."
"Hm... Okay, but I'm letting you know, I'm a really picky eater."
"I know."
She acted like a tomboy but because she ate only the highest quality food from a young age, her palate was nobler than that of most nobles.
"...How do you know that?"
I ignored her question and walked to the restaurant. Evelyn followed after me like a cat.
After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrived at the restaurant.
[Hotel Cessia]
"Oh, this is the place?"
"Yep."
"Ooh~"
Evelyn and I walked to the entrance. Immediately, a man in a suit stopped us.
"Hey, you didn't make a reservation, right? Don't you know you need to make reservations for high-end restaurants?" Evelyn asked nervously as she glanced at waiter in front of me.
But there os nothing to worried about it.
On the way to here i had asked Jonathan to make quick reservation at this place and he quickly did that without any problems.
But of course he has to used some money to do that, after all i made last minute call.
"Hey!"
Evelyn shouted into my ear as i brok from my chain of thoughts. I turned my head towards my right and saw Evelyn right in front of me. Even up close, I couldn't see a single flaw in her smooth skin. I swallowed hard.
"Eh? W-What?"
"Wait for me here."
"What? Hey, where are you going!?"
Leaving behind the shouting Evelyn, I ran out of the restaurant.
Thankfully, Sia wasn't walking fast. I quickly ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder.
"Hey."
"Huak!"
Startled, she jumped up with an odd scream. Sia turned around, her head creaking like a machine. When she saw my face, she flinched. She definitely recognized me.
"...W-Who are you?"
She feigned ignorance. Was she here on a mission?
I looked at the person standing next to her, a Caucasian man, but I couldn't recognize him from his outer appearance.
Then i turned my head back towards Sia again and said,
"It's me Lucas."
Sia nervously glanced at man beside her and let out nervous laugh
"Ha-Haha... Sorry but i don't know you."
At that moment she gusture towards my Ai bracelet, I frowned at her and understood what she meant .
quickly turning around i looked at my AI bracelet and saw that there was message from Sia.
'When did she send me this? i didn't even saw her waving her hands.'
i tap on message and saw what she send.
_____
[Sender --> SIA TELLEN]
[Message:- Im here on secret mission, No one should know about this I will talk to you later]
______
"Um, I don't know who you are, but we have to go."
Sua still denied knowing me, and the man next to her separated me from her. He was taller than me by a head.
"...Ah."
"I'm sorry. I must have mistaken you for someone else."
I bowed in apology.
Since we would meet at the masquerade, I backed away for now.
As I stepped back, a wave of confusion washed over me. Sia's behavior was perplexing, and her insistence on denying our acquaintance only deepened the mystery surrounding her presence in Azurehaven.
Turning away, I returned to the restaurant where Evelyn was waiting, her expression curious as she watched me approach.
"Who was that?" Evelyn asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.
"Just someone I thought I knew," I replied vaguely, choosing not to delve into the details of my encounter with Sia.
Evelyn studied me for a moment, her eyes searching mine for any hint of what had transpired. However, finding nothing, she simply nodded in understanding.
While waiting for lunch i thought about Sia and the secreat mission she was talking about.
As far as i know there shouldn't be any incidents should happened in Azurhaven at this point of novel.
so what is this about? I have to find out about this.
I had thought i should rest today since its been while that I have came outside of Academy but its seems that i don't have chance to fo that .
Anyway i have to follow her after we finished our food here and I have to do that alone.
