Dating is Really Not My Strong Suit...

Damn it, I was played like a fool…!

I immediately moved to rush back into the bank to demand a proper answer to my question, but then suddenly received a telepathic message from none other than Lorelei.

"Master, friendly reminder: ten minutes until your date starts."

U-Ugh… dammit, getting back home from here will take at least 10 minutes… agh, whatever!

Turning tail, I began calmly walking in the direction of the Long Family residency. Magic was forbidden from being used inside Fragment, as there was some sort of anti-mana enchantment in the air that prevented magic from being used. I could still use it if I really wanted, but that would take effort, and effort equals sweating, which would yield the same results as if I just ran back. As such, if I wanted to not make it look like I had forgotten about the date's start time, I had to walk. At least this gave me some time to look over the brochure.
