Natalia, Sweet First Date!

 

 

These motherfuckers were capable of thinking! They weren't like usual mobs or even 'low-graded' BOSSes that had an already set of patrons when attacking and moving, it was as if each and every single one of them had the intelligence of a Heavenly grade BOSS yet all of them remained as a Star Elite grade special mob... it was simply fantastic!

At some point, Tongqiu's health got insanely low to that of [1,102] and as such, he immediately deactivated Transient Divine Burst as he then took out his essential weaponry before rapidly executing Tongqiu's Rain Showdown.

-13,716, -13,716, -13,716, -13,716, -13,716, -13,716...

With his now 92 stacks from his Battle Frenzy skill, Tongqiu's Rain Showdown was a little more powerful as he only needed one shadow alone to put the weakest enemies down for good. Thinking of this, Tongqiu thought to himself that the faster he was able to utilize a three arrowed wideshot, the better his skills would scale.

(Author's Note: Friendly remainder that his shadows can MISS and because his arrow's shadows are mimicking two arrows, they deal double damage but not at the same time.)

Combustion!

He jumped 5 meters into the air as he began bombarding these little ants before him over and over again, not even needing to take out his now precious than ever Benevolent Low-Potions until his resources were somewhat not 'returned' efficiently. Because all these mobs had at least 20,000 HP, their 2,000+ MP and Stamina conversion from their total HP allowed him to calmly stay at one place for a few minutes as he didn't stop for a single moment, his continuous bombardment. Every minute and a half he had to aim at the sky so that the incoming rain of arrows wouldn't take him by surprise, he didn't intended to find out if he'd be insta-killed/oneshoted by such a scary-looking jointed attack.

Even though his arrows made a 30 meter radius explosion, the damnable Unwilling souls would start separating from each other while still in small groups as they closed in on him, as a result, he had to shoot twice for every group in case one of the soldiers managed to dodge the gigantic AOE explosion; which happened too many times for him to notice and not want to take that risk ever again after almost being pinned down by their CC sudden skills.

As such, Tongqiu now made a 'path' out of the sea of soldiers by shooting into the sky with the intention of allowing some curved falling arrows to timely make the intended path 'clear' as he kept advancing without stop with his Sunfacing Brilliant Gladius each in hand.

What made Tongqiu numbed to the extreme was the constant notifications from the system; maybe his thoughts were highly negative when it came to such a newfound annoyance, but maybe he'd get used to it so damn much that he won't even notice them anymore... in the future.

*PING*... you've successfully killed a 3 Star Elite grade, as a reward, SP+135 and Fame+135 .

*PING*... you've successfully killed a 3 Star Elite grade, as a reward, SP+135 and Fame+135 .

*PING*... you've successfully killed a 1 Star Elite grade, as a reward, SP+30 and Fame+30.

. . .

"Blaghha!!... Phew... huff, huff."

Tongqiu finally dashed out of the sea of soldiers which gave him quite the prolonged fight of his life so far. He estimated that he'd been trapped inside for about at least 4 hours. He'd already missed breakfast and he knew he'd have to make up for it, but for now... run!

He ended up being encircled by more and more incoming Unwilling souls the more time he passed fighting, even when he tried to run for it as his life depended on it, which did, he found out -for the worst- that it was counterproductive instead of the smart thing to do. He got tackled down by dozens of those soldiers as he finally learnt his lesson yet again.

After recuperating from such heavy and exhausting mistake, he once again opted to bunny his way around:

He'd first shoot at the sky as he got rid of the ever present rain of arrows; then he'll shoot some more arrows into the sky as he calculated the falling speed of the curved shooting arrows before rapidly dashing through the path he'd make with said arrows. Lastly, he'd jump from 5 to 8 meters in the sky so as to clear his surroundings and wait for the next rain of arrows to come knocking at his door as he took out his Sunfacing Brilliant Gladiuses to do some 'sparring' with these poor souls, and so, the repetitive process without an end commenced.

As time went on, Tongqiu found his 'sparring' within a massive amount of enemies, basically right in the middle of a whole army, to be quite easier and fun. The thought of being unstoppable against such an ordeal and his indomitable advances allowed him to remember to his previous group fights... where it was merely his group consisting of himself alone against an actual group...

Anyways, the sensation he was given thorough the entire time was that of a fish in the ocean. He felt unusually familiar, and at ease, at peace.

His calculations and strategies when using his essential weaponry against a gigantic amount of enemies also improved though, and it wasn't simply obtaining greater results as to make his time easy when dealing with them. Rather, it was the manipulative and improvisation which made him scarier as time passed by.

At some point, him alone without even using his Sunfacing Brilliant Gladiuses and merely utilizing his bow to smack down his enemies to 'death'; while at the same time, he narrowly avoided every-single-attack-of-any-kind, it was as if he was merely an organism which was between liquid and solid; he was forever moving, not stopping a single time as all of his movements were as peaceful-looking yet smooth-moving as water and at the same time it was impossible to take a clear vision on his body. Meaning, every time he was dodging agilely, nimbly and flexibly, he was doing so like he had never ever thought was possible before. It was impossible to discern his figure, shape or characteristics as the only visible available for the naked eyes was that of a blurred, ephemeral shadow moving up, down, left, right, in between, zigzag... in many fucking ways that it was even impossible to discern to where it had moved next.

Yet, these soldiers were still capable of easily tracking him down as innumerable attacks kept on raining down on him. However, their speed were their obvious shortcoming in this scenario, one had to think 'were they not restrained by their grade'... just how powerful were these monster-like Elite army from before perishing and, what kind of abomination was able to exterminate them?!

Nonetheless, such perfectly honed warriors made a perfect 'sparring' partner for Tongqiu, to which he exploited until his own body and mind started getting drowsy.

He was recovering fast, but he wasn't entirely healthy. As such, he immediately made way for the other side of the sea of soldiers, which took him a little more over an hour to finally cross.

With his hands resting on his knees and his face full of sweat, he merely looked back only to see them start charging up at them.

"Sigh... oi, stupid system! Immediately tell me when 3 minutes of safety have gone by, fucker!" Tongqiu casually spoke out loud, though he could merely just think about it, towards the dear, functional system as he began another and 'last' jogging of the day.

. . .

Tongqiu's villa, inside his room on his bed.

Just as Tongqiu woke up, two beauties were laying down on each of his sides as he was just taking out his gauntlets and in the middle of stretching.

Tongqiu: ༼ʘ̚ل͜ʘ̚༽ 

Diana: (✿´‿`)

Natalia: 〆(・∀・@)

"Eh-ehm, ladies? Hello gorgeous celestial beings, h-how come you visit the unworthy humble abode of this, eh! Aghhh-!!!"

As Tongqiu was trying his best to start flattering them ever so highly before starting negotiations, he was suddenly unreasonably attacked, brutalized and assaulted by the ferocious, cruel and savage slender hands of the female celestial beings squeezing his sides.

"Aaahhh!! Alright, alright it's my fault, ah!- my fault!!"

How could anyone endure such tormenting fate? Tongqiu gave up after merely a few pinches here and there.

"See?! You were mean! Big Sister was worried about you for nothing! Make it up for her, or else!" While Diana was speaking such words, she was instead suggestively closing in on him as their faces were now quite close to each other.

Seeing this, Natalia didn't wanted to be left behind as her blushing face also closed in on towards his face.

'Ah, am I cursed or blessed?'

He quickly maneuvered to cup their cheeks at the same time, first drawing in Natalia's lips to his, before quickly going after Diana's. Lastly, he stood up with his utmost speed, big mistake, as he then spoke out in obvious schadenfreude: "Well, ladies, we can talk thi-s-s--sh-"

Putong.

Tongqiu's body flatly hit the floor as both the speechless and wide-eyed women hurriedly went to pick him up in deep worry for his sake.

***

At the dinner table.

"Mm, Y-Tongqiu, how is it? Ah, do you feel better?" Natalia spoke with her always gentle and soft voice while slightly frowning in worry.

"Mm, mm, mmm-mm mmmm, mmm mm."

"Pfftt- Stop talking with a full mouth, silly Tongqiu ah, here drink some water before you also choke!" Even with Tongqiu's stupid mannerisms, Natalia simply responded in kind and joy towards his 'enthusiastic' reply.

Diana merely blinked at their every amorous play as she calmly ate her food; after a while of silence, she spoke: "Tongqiu, you received a call from Miss Yona, the hired 'personnel' will arrive this afternoon, I'll... take care of it, why don't you go with Big Sister on a well deserved date? Here are some tickets, and there is already a reservation for a table at Clear Mist Restaurant."

Finished saying that, she blinked her eyes towards him with a noncommittal expression on her face.

In response, Tongqiu serenely looked at her for a little while. A few seconds later, he stood as he gently held her head.

"Um, alright~ Just don't welcome us back full of tears and in jealousy, alright?" Right after speaking, he tenderly kissed her forehead.

"Ah!" Speechless to his mixed reaction between sweet and cocky, she merely blinked once again due to the lack of information being processed, not even knowing what to do.

At this time, Natalia finally spoke out for the dumbstruck Diana as she couldn't help but feel helpless towards her own 'Little Sister' getting her a date instead of herself doing so "Aaah~, stop teasing little Diana, don't you see how silly she has become?"

Being rebuked after getting caught red handed, Tongqiu embarrassingly went back to his seat to continue eating...

***

Natalia was wearing a strapless bright white dress which had a few light pale-violet patterns. She had a side swept ponytail hairstyle which added together with her breathtaking dress, created a contrast strong enough to mistake her for a fairy.

She had a couple of thin white lady gauntlets as Tongqiu was holding her hand over his as they walked towards a cinema.

Eyes would endlessly pour at their side, not only because of her fairy-like disposition, but also because there was a sickly-looking yet delicately handsome young man besides her. Though his dressing style was nowhere up to par with his partner, which by now it was obviously his darling one, it was nonetheless a type of 'elegant' pure blackish attire and accentuated his with now growing-bear unusually attractive yet unremarkable jawline as well as those eyes which seemed to be completely turned off, yet would instantly light up whenever the two of them had any kind of interaction with each other.

Though there were no longer rude people taking out their phones and indiscriminately started taking pictures like they would, ages ago, towards others in public at plain sight; there were still some teenager girls whose eyes couldn't shine more as their head's gears went on full steam ahead daydreaming about their destined one that has yet to come, which innocently yet ignorantly, took out their phones to 'stealthily' steal a fragment of time from Natalia's and Tongqiu's frolicking... they were so lucky cellphones nowadays didn't needed an actual flash for better lightning...

"Um, Naty, how do you feel, would you like something to eat?" Tongqiu had his hand pull her arm as he interlocked his arm with hers, bringing her body ever so closer to his which produced a shy immediate flush on her panicked face, "Or am I good enough for you?"

With an even deeper red on her face, Natalia had her head slightly lowered as she spoke towards Tongqiu, somewhat flustered by being in public: "Youu!! Mou... why... why don't you tell me of your past a little, eh? Have you gone to dates before?"

Seeing how his intentions were seen through as Natalia had already regained courage and confidence, no longer cutely getting shy nor panicked, Tongqiu felt a sense of loss before whispering back to her: "I have... yes, though not the, uh... usual type of dates, I guess?"

"Mn! Mn! Tell me about it." Natalia revealed an unusual interest on it as she continuously nodded and urged for Tongqiu to continue.

"Oh... well. I would mostly go on walks with her, and... we would merely hold each other's hands. This... it didn't started as 'dates' at first, but... with time, the impossible to negate emotions, attraction and... connection, was formed and we both... fell for each other, completely." Speaking up to there, Tongqiu turned his head to look at Natalia but, she had already turned her head away so much that he could only see her spotless, no longer 'pure' white neck and collarbone. However, he also noticed an unusual set of movements, as if she was trying to restrain herself from acting in certain way, so ambiguously.

'Even if you're hiding something, at least do it so innocently charming to me, only.' Slightly annoyed that her silly actions were showing off her mature, womanly charm, Tongqiu gently fidgeted at her chin. Only then did she finally returned to a more proper stance, also giving Tongqiu a clear understanding, for her eyes had gotten somewhat reddy.

Not making a big deal of it, Tongqiu grazed his thumb at her cheek before interlocking the fingers of his right hand with her left hand, and bringing her body close enough to perpetually touch as they slowly walked forwards.

He continued: "As you can see, I'm quite the expert lover, the master of countless young girl's hearts and a gallant man in search for a damsel in distress. Whatever my lady may want or need, this humble gentleman will already have it for you! For I am the matchless, talented, handsome an- cough, cough!"

Being abruptly stopped by the cringing and tomato-like face Natalia, he couldn't help but start laughing out loud without holding back, also causing Natalia to join him as her melodic laughter ringed out along his for a little few seconds.

"Pfff, haa~, haah~. Oh, Tongqiu, you-you... sigh." As Natalia's laughter finally came to a stop, she couldn't help but softly gasp for air before she placed her head on his shoulder, as she profoundly enjoyed their little walk.

Suddenly thinking of something, Natalia stands up straight, then hesitated for a little while before gently speaking in a whispering, almost inaudible voice: "I... I know you did had great 'dates' in the past. I know it well. Let's go."

Followed by a radiant, sweet smile; Natalia suddenly sped up as she took the lead with her left hand still holding Tongqiu's.

At the ambiguous words she spoke, Tongqiu was merely feeling shocked to the core, merely; as such, when he saw her becoming all cheerful and joyful, he couldn't help but allow her to be so 'mysterious' and merely give her a good time for the rest of the day.

'Sigh, things seem to be more than complicated... what a day.'

. . .

As they were already seated on their respective accommodations, Natalia was resting her head with a little pout which was subconsciously formed as she became engrossed with the movie.

Tongqiu, however, felt basically nothing as he solely enjoyed staying at her side and feeling her warmth as even her smooth, long hair was gently covering over his should blades, making him feel thoroughly embraced by her soft, boneless-like womanly body.

Whenever his indifference got the better of him, he would silently kiss her head, sometimes even repeatedly in a short amount of time. To which Natalia would slowly close her eyes in pure enjoyment as she felt herself unable to resist the inducing effect to fall asleep in his arms.

Once the movie had long ended, the still alive and kicking Tongqiu tugged at Natalia's shoulders to lightly wake her up; when she did, she lifted her head from his lap before looking at him with her dreamy eyes, then she abruptly yet smoothly kissed his lips with a still dreamy glint withing her eyes as she slowly stood up.

. . .

Since the day was still bright, and the reservation at the restaurant was quite a couple of hours away from now; both cutesy, unique and eye-catching pair went on a little walk around Nascent Herb City's most peaceful and modestly decorated beautiful streets and even small-sized parks.

As they went around, hand in hand; they would look up at the sky more than at their surroundings, as if they were enjoying the calmness and stillness of the clouds among the clear light blue sky, as though it was much more intriguing than the puny material earthly creations from humanity.

Sitting on a bench, accompanying Natalia to see some kids in the playgrounds... noticing her absorbed glances and hidden worries, then right away eliminating them by holding her hand inclining his head on hers, all while lightly squeezing her trembling hands...

Time slowly went forward as the time for their dinner had arrived as both of them were already inside the same old completely pitch-black car and the old man, this time with a respectful disposition which for Tongqiu it was obvious to guess it was thanks to the presence of Natalia, were heading towards said restaurant.

Diana perfectly knew Tongqiu's hatred and uncomfortable nature which was totally against the extravagant, luxurious and snob 'culture'; as such, he wasn't worried at all about her having outdone it with a 'high-class' reservation.

As for Natalia, she was tired and sick of that shit too, so the simpler it was for the two of them, the better!
