Chapter 95 Casual Clothing
Since he couldn't refuse, Elhesen simply agreed. Besides, Idelia's words made a lot of sense; the books he currently had were no longer enough to meet his needs, and he needed to get some new stock.
As an excellent senior, no one understands his current needs better than Idelia.
And so the two peacefully agreed on their weekend plans.
Logically speaking, it wouldn't be wrong to buy it after school, but Idelia had a little scheme in mind, trying to turn this rather serious book-buying trip into a little date for the two of them.
Since Elhesen didn't refuse, she shamelessly took it as Elhesen's agreement.
Idelia was smug, feeling that she had mastered the essence of "How to Win Over Your Crush".
Let's get back to the date.
Since it's a date, she should definitely take the time to dress up properly. Going there after school isn't appropriate; she needs to have time to prepare thoroughly.
For example, right now, Idelia looked at herself in the mirror, looking even more radiant than usual after her careful grooming, and nodded in satisfaction.
It was worth wasting two hours on this; she vowed that today she would make new progress in their relationship!
Seeing her spray some perfume on herself, seemingly about to go out, Montiaga leaned against the doorframe and asked with interest, "If I remember correctly, you told me last night that you were going shopping with Gorna today. You've gone shopping quite a few times, but I think this is the first time I've seen you dressed up so carefully?"
Out of some strange sense of pride, Idelia had no intention of telling him that she was pursuing Elhesen, and had even asked Gorna to cover for her in advance.
Hearing Montia's question, she blushed slightly and mumbled, "Oh, Dad, just consider it a sudden thought of mine. Besides, isn't it normal for girls to like dressing up?"
Montia smiled and joked, "I see. It seems our little Lia has grown up."
Idelia covered her face awkwardly, feeling that he had actually seen through her and that was why he said it on purpose.
Fortunately, Mentiaja didn't say anything more, just made a joke and then let her go.
Idelia breathed a sigh of relief as she stood outside. Then, thinking that Elhesen might already be waiting for her at the agreed-upon place, she couldn't help but grin foolishly and hurried briskly in that direction.
Unfortunately, things often turn out differently than expected. No matter how hard Idelia searched upon arriving at her destination, she couldn't find that familiar gray-haired man.
Time ticked by, and Idelia, who had been standing there waiting for a long time, finally stopped caring about her appearance and slumped down on a bench by the street, exhausted. Just then, an annoying, familiar voice came from behind her—
"It looks like you've been here for a while."
Al-Hysen calmly sat down beside her.
Idelia quickly changed her sitting posture, trying to make her movements look more elegant and proper, but Elhesen obviously didn't care about that and just looked around at the vendors.
Idelia, who had painstakingly struck poses but only ended up amusing herself, had a rather indescribable expression on her face and couldn't help but complain, "Why are you only arriving now?"
Al-Hysen glanced at his watch: "The agreed time is now, I think I'm not late."
Idelia hesitated, as if she wanted to speak but then stopped, and then seemed to want to speak again.
Before she could speak, Al-Hysen had already stood up again, ready to begin today's schedule: "Arriving early is just insurance for people who can't manage their time. As you can see, I'm very good at managing my time."
Idelia quickly followed, still protesting, "Who said that? I'm not like that! Don't you ever want to arrive early when you're really looking forward to a party or seeing someone? That kind of anticipation is completely uncontrollable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Idelia belatedly realized that she might have been too blunt, and quickly turned her face away so that Elhesen wouldn't see her bright red cheeks.
However, Al-Hysen didn't turn to look at her, but instead naturally replied, "Obviously, I'm not that eager to see you. Besides, since we've already made plans, isn't it enough that I know I'll definitely see you at this time and place?"
Just like knowledge that has already been learned, what you have in your hands will not run away.
Idelia felt that he had her figured out.
Driven by a rebellious streak, she really wanted to see if Elhesen's usually calm expression would crack for even a moment if she turned and left now, but—
She glanced up at the people around her.
Elheisen wore casual clothes today!
The uniforms of the Order of the Cavalry are loose-fitting, especially for women. Although Idelia is always troubled by the stark contrast between the green and her bright red hair, the academic skirts are generally quite form-fitting and can outline a woman's figure simply and gracefully.
However, the men weren't so lucky. The same academic skirt looked ridiculously loose on them. At first glance, the two pieces looked like a straight wooden barrel. Even Al Heissen's great face couldn't save this tasteless outfit.
Although Idelia rarely paid attention to this before because she was used to seeing it, after seeing Elhesen's casual clothes today, she felt that she probably would never be able to adapt to that ugly outfit again.
The reason is simple: Elhesen's personal style is just too good, almost completely showing off his smooth muscle lines. Although Idelia had never imagined that Elhesen, who spent most of his time in the library, would have such a... sexy figure.
Idelia didn't want to use that strange word, but her mind was completely blank, and she couldn't think of anything else.
Her unusual silence seemed to have struck Elhesen as odd. He turned to look at her and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Idelia finally snapped out of her reverie and, somewhat hesitantly, named a bookstore: "This one will do. I buy almost all my books there. The owner is very kind and always gives me a 20% discount..."
Al-Hysen nodded noncommittally.
Coincidentally, a member of Idelia's group was also buying books here, and when they arrived, that person was just coming out carrying books.
Upon seeing the two, the woman greeted them with delight, "Junior Elhesen, Idelia, good afternoon!"
If she hadn't just glanced at her during the greeting and then kept staring at Elhesen, Idelia would probably have been happy to see this classmate. But now she felt slightly uncomfortable and instinctively stood between the two.
However, even if she didn't do that, Elhesen wouldn't pay any attention to this overly friendly guy.
Just like now, he walked right past the woman without even looking up, as if he hadn't heard her greeting at all.
Idelia felt a sudden surge of schadenfreude at the woman's constipated expression, but Elhesen was walking too fast, so she could only make up an excuse out of politeness and hurriedly catch up with him.
Inside the bookstore, Elhesen, who had entered before her, casually found a corner and was leaning against the wall waiting for her.

The author says: _(:з」∠)_ Today, I'm shamelessly promoting my original pre-order novel, "Passing Through a Forbidden Zone Ahead, Please Detour."
Copywriter:
The moment An Ling transmigrated, she vowed to do great things in the new world, just like all transmigrated heroines, or to have a heart-wrenching romance.
The next second, she heard a passerby in front of her recite a poem, and the guy next to him, who seemed to be his friend, drew his sword and slashed at him.
An Ling: Huh?
In the fifth minute of her transmigration, An Ling remained as quiet as a chicken, swallowing hard as she watched the murder that suddenly unfolded before her eyes.
"...Excuse me, what terrible mistake has this person made?"
"He's just a time traveler, killing him is no big deal."
An Ling: Ah!
She tried to slip away shakily, but before she could even utter a few polite words, the man walked straight towards her.

Later, she learned that the man's name was Fu Shu, that he belonged to the same organization as her, and that he was her partner.
Oh, by the way, their organization is called the Transmigrator Hunting Association.
