Chapter 579 Having A "Peaceful" Date



-----

Ding!

[The [Holy Spirit of Emotions] has a favorable impression of your charismatic personality, and she seems to like how you attract the love of many girls.]

[She says that if you do your best in this date, you might be rewarded for it.]

After seeing such a bizarre message sent from one of my twelve patrons, I immediately felt disturbed. However, my mind had seen fairly more disturbing things than that, so it cooled off rather quickly.

Nonetheless, as I see this shameless message, I can't help but think… What are these beings even doing with their free time? It appears that maintaining the entire world of Spiritias is certainly not enough to entertain them.

However, I won't let them make my life some sort of entertainment for them, so I will proceed to ignore these… Urgh.

…

The Stronghold city was very big, but surprisingly, once you visit a few important and populated places, you realize it is quite the boring place aside from dungeons. The areas worth taking a stroll around are just filled with the most mundane of things such as clothing store or jewelries store which barely hold any stat boosts.

However, the girls seemed to enjoy it more than I imagined. Elizabeth, Erika, and Alberta were glancing all over the shopping places. They began trying out all sorts of new clothes, none of them containing significant enhancements that made them better than their already existing equipment… which was very boring.

They seemed to really love the places, especially checking on new clothes and changing into them. Erika had already been trying over twenty different dresses, constantly asking me if they looked nice on her. I felt slightly flustered at first, but I kept nodding at her while saying they were nice.

At one point, however…

"Geez Blake, you only nod around! Come on, tell me which one of these two fits me better?" Asked Erika with shining eyes.

Ding!

[The [Holy Spirit of Emotions] is shocked by your lack of fashion sense and says you're an insensitive man.]

[She says that if you make Erika upset again, she'll bestow negative stat boosts upon you.]

Perhaps I should put more intention into this…

Erika showed me a pink colored dress with golden decorations resembling rivers. The second dress was simpler, merely a clear blue with white clouds as decorations.

Both were quite well detailed, if I ignore their complete lack of stat boosts… I suppose they're indeed pretty.

"The pink one seems like an obvious choice…" I said.

"Yeah, right? It goes with my hair!" Erika said. Her mother nodded behind her.

"However… the clear blue dress with clouds reminds me of the many times we spent watching the skies while resting over the grassy fields back home…" I said with a nostalgic smile.

Erika's eyebrows raised a bit.

"Right… I never thought about it…" She said. "I guess I'll keep this one! It will bring nice memories whenever I wear it. Thank you Blake!"

Erika quickly gave me a small kiss in my cheek.

"I'll buy it for you, don't worry." I said with a nod.

"Oooh! Really?! You're the best!" She said while smiling happily.

Such a soothing smile…

Ding!

[The [Holy Spirit of Emotions] is impressed by your intuition! You seem way better than she imagined.]

[She offers you a small prize.]

[You received: [Fairy Tears (Unique Grade)] x1!]

-----

[Fairy Tears (Unique Grade)] x1

A Pink bottle containing the tears of a fairy. These tears were not shed by sadness, but by joy. Once consumed, it enhances a person's charm and beauty and may increase Maximum MP.

-----

What an odd potion… So if I drink this I become even more charming and beautiful? Maybe someone else would like this, but I don't really have much of a use with this.

I simply saved it for now, I might gift it to someone in the future. Increasing maximum MP is nice, but I doesn't specify and it might be very little.

"Hey Blake, wat do you think of these?" Wondered Elizabeth, showing me blouses.

They were white, black, yellow, and blue.

Much like Erika, she was also constantly asking me what fit her better.

Meanwhile, the rest of my friends were wandering nearby, looking at me with pity.

Sigh… well, it is kind of my fault for having made these girls fall for me.

"Hmm, you wan to pick one?" I wondered.

"Yeah, if possible…" She sighed. "They're rather expensive"

"Hmm… I guess black is nice." I said.

"Black? But wouldn't it be too much for me? My hair's so shiny…" Sighed Elizabeth.

"Black creates a good contrast with your fair skin and your beautiful golden hair. It makes you look both mysterious and elegant." I gave a brief explanation of my decision.

Elizabeth instantly blushed, nodding timidly.

"I-I see…" She said. "I never thought you saw me that way, geez… I'll pick black then, but you pay half of it."

"Sure, I don't really mind." I said with a smile.

Ding!

[The [Holy Spirit of Emotions] is flabbergasted by your amazing usage of words to conquer a girl's heart in an instant!]

[She says that when you put some effort, you can really sound charming and gallant.]

[She offers you a small prize.]

[You received: [Love Heart Crystal (Unique Grade)] x1!]

-----

[Love Heart Crystal (Unique Grade)] x1

A Special Crystal shaped like a heart made of pink-colored illusion and emotion attribute spirit stones. Beautifully carved by an ancient artisan, it contains the love and emotions he has for a fair maiden he once fell in love for. Once absorbed by someone you love, their favorability for you will increase greatly, and sometimes, they might even fall in love further!

-----

Are you kidding me? Another corny reward…

Leave me alone already, Holy Spirit of Emotions…

Ding!

[The [Holy Spirit of Light] and the [Holy Spirit of Nature] have taken a notice of this event due to the [Holy Spirit of Emotions] gossiping…]

[Both of them say to keep going, you're doing a great job.]

[They send you their thumbs up for encouragement.]

Go away!
