It was frustrating to see the boy mess up so much. He barely had any confidence and could not strike a single conversation properly in front of a decent lady.
Lith tried to ship her with people a bit below the standards, but even with them he messed up.
If it wasn't for him holding Keith's hand and roaming the streets of the world stuck in golden hour, he would've smacked him in the head.
Even after watching a master at work, aka Lith, scam his cute maid into holding hands with him, the boy couldn't learn. He definitely had some birth defect that made him unable to score any maidens.
"U-u-um... beauty..."
"H-hello... pretty lady..."
"Hey beautiful. Wanna go out with me?"
These were a few of the opening lines Yam said to some cute vampire maidens and chased them away.
Lith corrected him and even threatened to whoop his ass if he did this bullshit again. Yam was scared and forced himself to act in a proper, dignified way, even though he was dying from nervousness.
There was a cute petite girl in black gothic dress sitting on a courtyard's bench. She had black shoulder length hair in a beautiful wolf cut and from the way her body language was, she seemed dignified and elegant.
Yam was a hundred meters away from her, standing right beside Lith and Keith, fidgeting in nervousness.
While looking at the girl who seemed cute as per vampire standards, Lith leaned to the side until his face was closer to Keith's.
Keith didn't distance herself and stood in place because it was Lith's ear and cheek coming closer to her instead of his lips. She didn't feel any perversion from it and let him be.
"That girl... I feel like I'll do her injustice if she gets together with him." Lith stated his opinion.
Keith wasn't invested in this ordeal as her focus was more on the fact that her palms felt cold instead of warm when holding hands with her master.
However, with Lith's comment, she had a look at the girl he was referring to then at Yam, who was fidgeting in place and looking at the girl as if she was a monster that would devour him any moment if touched.
Keith curtly nodded her head. "She seems sophisticated."
She gave her two cents on this matter.
By now, Lith was able to make up whole gossips just from Keith's one liners. By this one statement, she meant that the girl was too noble, elegant, and refined unlike the boy who could probably be a holy son given his god-tier virgin persona.
"Honestly, he would just fumble again. Should I cancel this deal?" Lith rubbed his chin and said with some thinking.
"Yes." Keith answered. "But we would lose more."
This deal had to be done. The boy was an important piece who had to carry news to the Asuras.
Unaware of the approaching Yam, the gothic girl was busy reading a book. It was a picturesque scene with her sitting so elegantly in a courtyard by a pond, having the golden rays shine on her beautiful pale face.
"Ahem..." A dry cough caused a ripple in the serene atmosphere.
Yam's opening was once again a disaster and he seemed like a dirty catfish entering a clear pond containing an exotic koi fish.
The girl turned to look at him as he approached her, her dark green eyes analyzing him.
Yam's posture was proper as he walked towards her with his head held high. Though, he seemed a bit stiff, but it was fine nonetheless.
"This place sure is amazing. Very peaceful." Yam tried to smile softly and did his best to not appear like a fool.
He walked past the girl after saying so and sat down on the bench, in the far corner, and looked in front of him. Looking in the girl's direction was a harmful maneuver he did not want to perform just yet.
The girl was amused by these gestures. She crossed her legs and gently closing her book, said in a soft voice, "Yes. It's one of the only few quiet areas left in the city."
"Aha, is that so?" Yam looked around and said with a confident chuckle. His nervous undertone did not go unnoticed by anyone.
The girl merely smiled and looked at the beautiful scenery in front.
"Do you think he fucked up already?" Lith munched on some popcorn and asked.
Staring at the real-life romcom, Keith put one popcorn in her mouth and said while elegantly chewing on it, "He did, but it's okay."
The girl did not seem to mind his fumble so far. He still had a shot at it if he played his cards right. This was what Keith meant with her one-liner this time.
"Don't fuck this up, boy..." Lith seriously hoped he did not and continued to watch.
Yam felt a drop of sweat trickle down his back. A few seconds had passed with him sitting beside this girl and it was now that her flowery and seductive fragrance reached his nose.
His heart thumped wildly, but being trained by Lith so much, he faked his calmness and said, "That tree there looks quite old. I wonder how it did not get cut during the making of this beautiful courtyard."
The place was more like a garden than a noble's courtyard. But it wasn't big enough to be called a garden and also did not have proper paths to roam around it.
"That is an auspicious tree. It is said that..."
The girl engaged in a proper conversation with Yam. And at last, he had someone who did not reject him and ran away.
Watching them from afar, Lith and Keith were seriously invested in this. They did not think the boy would make it this far and were genuinely flabbergasted.
Lith wiped a fake tear leaking out of his eye and said while feeding Keith some popcorn, "Oh, that boy has finally scored..."
"Mhm..." Keith was too focused on them and did not notice that it wasn't her own hand feeding her popcorn.
"I just hope he doesn't mess this one up. That girl is good to be a wife. So sweet, so elegant, so kind..."
