From his explanation, Luis had already ascertained the identity of the person in front of him. But he didn't care about that for now. He was on a date, so why should he care about other people?

Along with Alicia, he made the order. Then the two of them had a wonderful lunch as they chatted about random things and spent their alone time together while looking at the coral view around them.

"Mermaid's Dive is not open at the moment. So we can't do that for now. Shall we go surfing?" Luis asked.

Alicia showed a contemplative look, then sighed and said, "Let's not go surfing today. I don't want to change out of this dress."

Hearing this, Luis nodded in understanding and uttered, "Then shall we spend the rest of our time at the beach?"

Alicia agreed, so the two of them made their way towards the beach.

***

The beach wasn't very crowded, but there were still people around.

They played around in water and made sand castles with children. Alicia was having a hard time sculpting in the sand, so she used her Ice element to create a miniature castle.

All in all, they enjoyed each other's company, as the time of the sunset was coming close. They were walking together at the seashore, as the small waves gently hit their feet, giving a pleasant feeling.

"That castle you made was so majestic, Alicia," Luis said suddenly, breaking the silence between them.

Hearing his sincere praise, Alicia chuckled and said, "Yes, but what's the point of it? It's not a sand castle when it's made of Ice!"

"Yeah," Luis also chuckled along with her and said, "But the kids liked your castle a lot."

Alicia nodded, showing a soft smile. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"..."

The two of them once again became quiet, but a moment later, Alicia asked a question that made Luis stop in his tracks.

"Luis, why did you use your Illusion magic in the test?"

He turned to look at her and asked, "Why are you asking that?"

Alicia narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't think there was any need for an illusion spell at that time. You could have eliminated me easily."

"..." Luis gave a faint smile and said with a sigh, "Actually, fighting with you was fine and all. But to eliminate you, I had to kill you in the VR world. Although I knew it was fake, I still couldn't bear to do it with my hands. That's why I used Illusion on you."

Hearing Luis' reason, Alicia blinked her eyes cutely, then laughed.

"Haha, that's so silly, Luis!"

"I never imagined there to be such a reason."

Though she was laughing, in her heart she felt very sweet when she heard Luis' explanation behind his actions. Of course, she won't tell him about this.

"Haha~"

Alicia giggled and her chime-like laughter made Luis smile along with her.

A few seconds later, Alicia's laughter subsided. Then she heard Luis say. "You asked me a question. Can I ask you something too?"

"Sure, ask me anything," Alicia replied with a smile while wondering what he wanted to ask her.

With a faint smile on his face, Luis asked, "What were you going to ask me yesterday before you hesitated?"

When Luis asked this, Alicia's expression became awkward as she said, "It wasn't something important."

"Hmm, really?" Luis got close to her and said, "But the expression you made yesterday makes it hard for me to believe your words, Alicia."

"..." Alicia stood there silently, not answering.

Seeing this, Luis pressed her a little more.

"Tell me, Alicia, what were you hesitating about?"

"..." But she still didn't say anything.

*Sigh*

"You should know Alicia, I really care about you and you have become an irreplaceable person in my heart. Though we started as strangers, we are engaged now and I want to get closer to you more, further deepening our relationship. That's why please don't hesitate with me and speak your mind freely. So I can understand you better," Luis stated to her directly.

Alicia looked at Luis's handsome face while blinking in succession. She didn't expect him to say something like that. But his statement also made her happy. Because she felt the same. She also preferred them to be straightforward with each other.

Although she thought like this, she had to clear something first, "No, Luis, it's not that I was hesitant, it's just that I was embarrassed."

Hearing this, Luis showed a surprised expression and said. "Go on."

"Actually, it's not that big of a deal, Luis."

"Just tell me already, you don't have to be embarrassed, Alicia. I am your future husband, remember?" Luis comforted her while inwardly his curiosity was peaking.

'What did she want to ask me that could make her so embarrassed? Don't tell me that Alicia... Hehehe...'

'If that is the case then, although it's a surprise, but a welcome one indeed.'

While Luis' thoughts were running wild. Alicia twirled her fingers while avoiding eye contact with him and with a reddened face she finally asked, "I wanted to know if there's any way you can help me with my cultivation."

Luis' mind cleared instantly, and he was brought back to reality as if cold water were poured on him.

"Is this what you were hesitating about... I mean embarrassed to ask me?"

Alicia nodded, a little embarrassed, and explained, "Although I also got a lot of training from Aunt Lumine, even after all that, I still can't keep up with your improvement in strength."

"I am afraid that with just hard work and training, it will be difficult for me to keep up with your progress. So I wanted to know if you had any ideas or suggestions that might help me."

"But asking for your help without giving anything in return made me embarrassed. So I didn't ask at that time."

Only then did Luis understand Alicia's thoughts. 'No wonder she reacted like that.'

'This silly girl,' Luis sighed with a helpless smile and said, "Alicia, I've told you already, you can ask me anything without hesitation. Whether I can help you with that or not is a talk for later."
