Ark scratched his head. When he returned to S-20 from Amara he had been level 107. But now he was level 115. He had gained 6 levels from the surrounding hunting ground as well as the chaotic users. It wasnât necessary to talk about how profitable the chaotic hunting was. There was a 100% chance to get equipment. He also gained more experience than hunting monsters. He sold the spoils reaped from S-20 and gained 20 bonus stats as well. His fame and federation contribution also increased because he killed criminals. Except for the 1000 Adventure Points that he used to raise his agent rating, everything else had increased. And these changes would be a pleasure for any user.
But right now the details of the information window didnât register in Arkâs eyes. It was because of yesterday. The date with Irina that he had been waiting for! Yesterday the two of them finally went on a date. The problem was that the result was â?â.
âŠâŠThe beginning was good. The appointments had overlapped so Irina ended up meeting the rehabilitation members but the atmosphere was more sociable than expected. The atmosphere was encouraging when they arrived at the Taek Mountain region. She had found out that he was the director of Global Exos and that he owned a piece of land. It was a strange conversation for men and women who havenât met before to be having. And Irina was surprised but wasnât offended. There was just one problem. Later talk emerged about the Taek real estate slump. Since then Irina had a determined, sometimes angry expression on her face.
âI donât know what that look means.â
It was a date yet talk about real estate problems emerged. A woman who understood the situation would feel bad about it. Ark thought that was the cause at first. However Irina wanted them to explain even more. She actively partic.i.p.ated in talk of the cause of the real estate slump and the victims affected. But sometimes she would seem angry.
âPerhaps Irina also bought land in the Taek Mountains?â
He contemplated that thought. However Irina didnât seem to be aware of the situation until after they explained it. Plus Irina had to pay her motherâs hospital bills so Ark couldnât imagine her having enough money to buy a piece of land.
âI really donât know. Why did Irina question the situation so much? And what is with the angry expression? Perhaps it is because of me? Maybe she was upset because of the damage I received? Iâll be glad if it is like that butâŠâŠâ
He couldnât ask her. He asked if Irina was in a bad mood on the drive back and she just shook her head. There wasnât lot of conversation on the way back to Seoul. He dropped Irina near her house and the date ended in a weird mood. Since then Ark had been worrying about it.
âShould I call her?â
If he wanted the relationship to progress then he needed to freely call her. However he wouldnât be able to get a sense if anything was wrong during the call. Eventually Ark sent a careful letter.
It was nice to meet you. I hope you are well. Iâm sorry you had to meet the hyungs during our first date. I hope you didnât feel discomfort etcâŠ..
Ark wrote a lengthy letter and only received this message as a response.
-Iâm sorry.
This was the reason for Arkâs â?â. He couldnât understand the meaning of her apology. He wanted to confirm the meaning through a call or another letter. However Ark decided to wait. It would be difficult to discern hidden meaning in letters. It might be nothing but personal circ.u.mstances. Ark also knew that he was ignorant in matters of love.
âWe will meet again very soon anyway.â
Ark was part of the second task force to investigate the magic circle. And Irina was part of the first team so they would have to meet.
âYes, I can wait and ask the question then. I also have work to do. The remaining time until then is 3 days! Not including the time required to return to Istana, that is only 2 days! I have to finish this job and meet Irina again!â
âTori, are we there yet?â
âWe will exit warp s.p.a.ce soon!â
Tori replied as he operated the dashboard. At the same time, a vortex of light was visible outside the window. It was the phenomenon caused when existing a multidimensional portal created by warp travel. There was a small vibration before the Silver Star exited near a planet that shone like jewels. An eye catching nebula was in front of Ark.
âThis isâŠâŠâ
This nebula as why he quickly put the situation in S-20 to order and departed for s.p.a.ce! Ark had received the <dark>quest from Marquis Martin and the
