327: Start of the Festival.

Start of the Festival.

''What to wear…'' Isaac scratched his head while skimming through the wardrobe's clothing selections. Today was the day of the festival, and it was something he and Luna had waited for the whole week.1

The past week was relatively successful for Isaac. He went to proper grind like Simo suggested and reached level 71!

In the rankings, his name kept rising, which even attracted attention from the forums.

His current rank was 967. The rankings shuffle quite a lot, and Isaac usually found his rank fallen by hundreds of spots every time he woke up.

But, he grinded XP for the rest of the day and increased his rank more than he lost.

Before sleeping, he talked with Luna, and he became more active in trying to display her feelings. He wasn't sure whether she had figured it out yet.

Isaac noticed that even though she was fond of romance books, Luna was amateur when it came to such things.

She was very innocent when it came to the feelings of the opposite sex, and that made Isaac change his plans.

His heart pounded as he gazed at the different clothes. The weather was warm, which allowed him to choose something light to wear.

Soon, he pulled out a long-sleeved shirt in the color of light gray and straight pants. Once he changed to them, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and began to alter his hairstyle.

In the mirror, an immensely handsome youth with a knack for charming was standing with his hand running over his hair.

''Damn it…'' In his eyes, he couldn't see the handsome youth. Instead an unconfident high-school student.

''Haahh…'' He rested his hands on the sink and began to gasp for air. There was a sign of fear in his movements. When he closed his eyes, only the memories of his failed romantic experience with Amanda surfaced.

Then, Luna's face appeared. Isaac's eyes slowly opened, and the youth in the mirror became clearer to him. If he was before more beautiful than the majority of girls, now, he was handsome enough to snap his fingers, and girls would follow after him.

He moved his fingers to the corners of his mouth and pulled them upward, trying to form a smile.

''Yeah… I can do this.'' Isaac stepped out of the bathroom and kicked the door shut.

Bam!

He took his jacket and carried it under his armpit as he left the room. Soon, he found himself on the first floor, where his grandparents were waiting.

Madison pulled out a napkin from her pocket and began wiping an imaginary tear, ''My dear grandson is about to be taken away from me.''

Malcolm wryly smiled and patted his wife's frail shoulder.

''Haaahh…'' Isaac sighed deeply. He had gotten teased by his grandparents the whole week. But that was fine with him. They got closer that way.

''We are only friends,'' Isaac said with a forced smile.

''Sure…'' Madison and Malcolm didn't believe one bit.

Creak!

The front door opened, and Sebastian appeared with car keys hanging from his index finger, ''Miss Snowflower had arrived.''

Madison and Malcolm patted Isaac's shoulder as they walked past him.

Isaac fixed his collar and left the mansion. Then, his gaze reached the car and saw the beautiful young woman next to it.

Luna's round eyes were shimmering with happiness as her face showed signs of light make-up. She was dressed in light winter clothing, and underneath she was wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt and tight pants.

They greeted each other with smiles, and Isaac opened the car door, allowing Luna to enter, before following after.

They sat next to each other in the backseat, and Sebastian began driving the car out of the yard.

Soon, the car left the Layer of Nobility, and it didn't take long for them to reach the Layer of Tourism.

The car took them to the center of the Layer of Tourism, where the festival was held. It was big enough for nobles to visit, and the streets were packed with people of different statuses.

The scent of the food wafted through the air. Even aspiring Chefs from Layer of Feasting came to have their own share of fun at the festivals.

Sebastian stopped the car around the start of the streets, where the crowded area starts. The whole three-kilometer-long area was part of the festivals. It told a lot about how big the festival indeed was.

''Thanks.'' Isaac shook hands with Sebastian and left the car with Luna.

Then, the car left, leaving the two of them alone.

Isaac searched around them, trying to find where their bodyguards were lurking. However, couldn't find them anymore. It was as expected. They were, after all, strong enough to Assassinate someone without them even noticing they were ever there.

''Where should we go?'' Luna moved closer to Isaac as the streets began crowding with more and more people.

''Have you eaten yet?'' Isaac asked. He was too busy deciding what clothes to choose and completely forgot eating.

Luna's cheeks flushed, and she covered her face with her purse. She was too embarrassed to say that she spent the entire morning to put the make-up. She had already decided what clothes to choose a few days prior.

She shook her head and moved her purse out of the way for Isaac to see her now ordinary shaded cheeks.

Isaac nodded and offered a hand, ''Should we?''

Luna looked at the hand for several seconds before grabbing it firmly, ''Y-Yes!''

They began walking and chose a path with fewer people but were still very packed. They had to walk with their shoulders touching each other; otherwise, it was impossible to walk hand-to-hand.

There were many who noticed them. Their height difference was already noticeable. Isaac stood at a decent 177cm, while Luna was on the shorter side, 165cm.

They were also two very attractive individuals. Both of them attracted members of the opposite sex. However, they couldn't do anything except sigh in resignation as they saw their hands locked in a lover's hold.

Soon, they reached a building which was named Breakfast Room. It was rather basic, but it attracted a lot of crowds.

They managed to find a table and ordered food.

Once their breakfast had arrived on the table, they began eating while sharing some idle chitchat.

Isaac kept thinking about what they should do during breakfast, and one place always popped up in his memory.

Luna was enjoying her time while stuffing tiny pieces into her mouth. She didn't care what they did. She was already enjoying it immensely and had great expectations of what was about to happen.
