Trapped as an NPC in a Dating Sim - Chapter 117: Sylvia’s Date!

Chapter 117: Sylvia’s Date!

“So… all of them left? That’s surprising.”

Soren spoke, seeing that only he and Sylvia were left alone. He wasn’t surprised that Aurelia left, but even Evan and Aria?

“Yeah, you were busy doing whatever inside that tent of yours. Of course they would leave. They have their own work to do, you know.”

Sylvia rolled her eyes.

“Oh? Why are you still here then? Didn’t you join Professor Lysandra’s club yesterday?”

Soren didn’t feel offended. Rather, he asked in an amused tone while swiftly coming near Sylvia and wrapping his arm around her thin waist, nudging her closer.

For a moment, Sylvia went stiff, before quickly returning to how she was, as if nothing had happened.

Instead, she began to talk, her cheeks faintly red.

“Yeah, I joined the Sanctum of Light club. Unfortunately, Professor Lysandra was nowhere to be seen. There were only a few seniors, who were quite annoying.”

Sylvia pouted as if remembering yesterday’s events.

She went to join the club with so much excitement, and in return, all she got was a lecture about the Healer class from them instead.

Although she learned a few new things, she was bored out of her wits. She found the club even more boring than their regular class.

“Haha… of course, the Professor won’t be there. She is a busy one, you see. Besides, professors won’t be directly involved in the club if possible. They will just subtly support it from the background.”

“Yeah, I figured. But without her, the club is too boring.”

Sylvia lightly leaned on Soren’s arm comfortably and began to pour out her grievance.

Maybe because they were all alone, she was quite open, her voice softer than usual as she spoke without holding anything back.

“Those seniors in the club are too narrow-minded. Do you know what they told me when I asked how a healer could avoid being a burden to their team and defend themselves?”

“What?”

“Tch… they said, how can a healer be a burden? And why should a healer defend themselves? It is the teammates’ job to protect them.”

“They were right, though.”

“Tch… of course they were right. But as a hunter, shouldn’t you at least have some defense and a fighting style of your own? What will you do if some emergency happens?”

“Hey, that time in the dungeon was my mistake, alright. I will never let that happen again.”

“No, Soren, I wasn’t referring to that. I don’t blame you. I just… I just…”

For a moment, Sylvia didn’t know how to express her thoughts and bit her red lips lightly.

As an S-rank healer, she of course knew how important she was to her team. For one, without her, her teammates would be heavily disadvantaged with debuffs in front of monsters.

She was also the mobile healing support who could keep her teammates at ease throughout the entire dungeon raid. Without a healer, some dungeons couldn’t even be challenged.

It wasn’t without reason that healers were in high demand.

But still, after seeing how she was on the verge of being squished by that Orc Chieftain, Sylvia felt that she had to do something.

Even if she couldn’t fight, at least she should have enough ability to avoid being ambushed and causing her team to lose.

“Hey… Sylvia, you are thinking too much.”

Seeing her biting her lips in distress, Soren smiled and hugged her a bit tighter.

“Each class has its strengths and weaknesses. You are a healer, and your job is to act as support for your team. In return, your teammates should do their best to keep you safe.”

Soren could see that Sylvia took that incident in the dungeon too seriously.

“It was your right to be protected. There is no need to feel like a burden. After all, without you, your teammates would be dead before you.”

Soren lightly nudged his head against Sylvia’s neck, finding her scent refreshing.

“However, you are also right in your thinking. After all, one simply cannot leave their life in the hands of others, can they?”

Soren smiled and then proposed,

“Hey, Sylvia… since you are so concerned, let’s go somewhere with me. I will order a good custom defensive robe for you that can protect you from sudden danger.”

He was already thinking of asking Isolde to make one for her anyway. Might as well let her tag along.

He did promise her a date before, didn’t he?

Although the regular class would start after two hours, he felt that it would be enough to walk around the camp with Sylvia.

It might even boost their relationship to new heights, who knew?

“Eh? No, I don’t want any custom robe. They are too expensive.”

Sylvia heard Soren and immediately shook her head before getting lightly slapped on her butt.

“~Mmph!”

“Okay, no need to shy away now. Your man is quite rich, you see. You can be a bit high-maintenance sometimes.”

Soren spoke only to see Sylvia pouting in grievance,

“H-Hey, don’t slap there. It hurts, you know.”

Sylvia spoke while quietly getting out of his embrace, afraid that he would slap her again.

If someone saw her like this…

“Okay, I won’t. Then, let’s go? We don’t have much time before the class starts.”

Seeing her cute look, Soren wanted to pinch her cheek so badly, but he restrained himself forcefully.

Instead, he extended his hand, signaling Sylvia to give hers.

As much as he wanted to walk around the market with his arm around her waist, he doubted Sylvia would allow that.

She was quite a shy girl in front of a crowd, after all.

“Um… O-Okay, but if you want to make a custom robe for me, let me pay, alright?”

Fortunately, she didn’t seem averse to walking hand in hand. In fact, she looked even a bit happier as she smiled beautifully before placing her own condition.

“Well, we will see about that.”

The moment Sylvia gave her hand, Soren interlocked their fingers and gently pulled her closer, their shoulders brushing as they stepped out of the tent area together.

For a moment, Sylvia felt a strange feeling rushing through her heart as they walked on the crowded path, so close.

It felt like she was, for the first time, walking with her boyfriend on a date, making her flushed in shyness.

Sylvia was used to getting kissed forcefully, spanked on her butt, and touched inappropriately on her naked thighs by Soren.

Being lovey-dovey in the crowd and walking like a couple with their arms on each other was quite a new experience.

Come to think of it, poor girl was really led astray by Soren, didn’t she?

“Hey… I heard you were with Aurelia yesterday? What did you two do together?”

Once Sylvia realized that nobody was paying attention to them and she calmed her beating heart, she softly asked Soren.

In fact, the reason she waited for Soren outside was to ask this. Although she didn’t show it, she was, of course, a bit jealous.

After all, Aurelia was Soren’s crush, at least in her imagination.

“Hmm? Oh, we went to join a club. I wanted some help from Aurelia.”

Soren didn’t hide anything and began to recall their adventure from yesterday.

Of course, he didn’t tell her about the accident, but just up to the fight with BumbleBee and how he pitted Owen while taking most of the Golden Nectar for himself.

For a while, Sylvia listened with apt attention, with pure curiosity in her blue eyes.

She didn’t even notice when her fingers were also interlocked with Soren’s while her head leaned on his shoulder relaxedly.

“Real? Wow, you were so gutsy. What if that senior Owen held a grudge against you? Won’t it be bad?”

“Heh… he won’t. That guy is too greedy. He folded the moment I gave him a portion of the Golden Nectar.”

“What is this Golden Nectar anyway? Is it so precious? How many credit points could we get by selling it?”

“It is a C-rank consumable item that can give a 24-hour full satiety effect. In fact, now that I think of it, I am still feeling full from eating it yesterday. Not to mention its taste. It was so delicious.”

“Wow, really? Now I am jealous…”

Sylvia showed a faint pout, her brows knitting slightly as she looked at him with a mix of envy.

“Want some?”

Soren couldn’t help but smile and offer when Sylvia immediately nodded, like a little bird pecking at rice.

“Yeah… will you give me?”

Seeing her looking at him like a puppy, Soren laughed and shook his head,

“Not now. But don’t worry, I will definitely let you taste it. I bet you will like it.”

Soren mumbled while faintly gazing at Sylvia’s red lips, licking his own. He would give her, alright, but in a very different way than Sylvia expected.

Well, in the end, Soren was sure that Sylvia would like it too, just like Aurelia.

“Hey, you’re stingy. If you don’t want to, just say so.”

But Sylvia didn’t understand his motive and began to argue back and forth, garnering quite a bit of attention from the crowd.

But by now, she was so involved in her own world that she didn’t even care about the crowd.

Her attention was on Soren from beginning to end as she smiled, frowned, joked, and laughed, all the while walking alongside him, with their hands on each other like a real couple.

Although it wasn’t an official date, Sylvia thought maybe this was how a date was supposed to be.

Because she was liking every moment of it, so much so that she frowned in displeasure when Soren said they were near a club and were about to meet a senior called Isolde.

’Sigh… why is the happiest moment always the shortest?’
