Elysium

Elysium: Specials [Fu Hua]

It was a cloudy day, just the way Juviel liked it. He was currently playing games with Fu Hua. She had gotten a lot better and nearly beat him once.

Keyword is nearly. He's still the winner of all the matches. The two had gotten much closer then before and didn't mind shoulders touching, although Fu Hua tends to blush a bit whenever it happened.

Good news was that her Trust had reached 99% a few months ago. Bad news was that he had no clue as to how to increase it beyond that. He did everything he could have done without making her uncomfortable but still failed. He decided to let it be. Let fate take it's course.

The status quo of their relationship was killing him, so he had enough of it and started planning how to confess to the extremely shy Fu Hua in a way she would remember for a long period of time.

He thought long and hard before finally deciding to use his well earned profit from his organisation and renovate the West Park in Senzou. Why tgat park specifically? It was due to that park being the bigger one of the 4 parks in Senzou, making it easier to renovate.

But how can one renovate a place one doesn't own without illegal measures? Basically, it's not possible, so he bought the park. It was quite expensive, cost more than 25% of his profit and renovation took another 25%. In short.. It costed around 1.2m Silver Coins.

Currency will be explained further down.

A few days ago, Fu Hua had received an invitation from Chiba Academy in Nagazora, one of the most prestigious schools in the city.

He decided to cover up his confession plan with a "Let's go to the park to celebrate you getting invited to Chiba academy!". Fu Hua wasn't aware of him buying the park either, it sounded perfect, but he had gotten distracted and actually lost against Fu Hua.

Fu Hua nearly jumped from her seat, no wait, she did. He couldn't bring himself to tell her that he had gotten distracted when she was that happy. She looked all giddy and smiles, she giggled and pointed her finger at Juviel.

"Aha! I did it!"

He chuckled softly at how cute she was being. He couldn't help but tease her when he saw her reaction.

"If I knew you would be this happy when I lost, I wouldn't have minded losing more~."

She blushed and buried her face into her hands to avoid him seeing her red face. Unfortunately for her, her ears were still visible and those were red too. He chuckled once more and decided to bring up the matter of going to the park.

"Hua, let us go to the West Park to celebrate you getting an invitation to such a nice school~."

She lifted her head up and locked eyes with him, something she rarely could not do. From the way she looked, she wasn't that happy for some reason. He thought for a bit and had a suspicion as to why.

"What's wrong? Why do you not look happy? Is it because me and Uncle won't be there in Nagazora with you?"

She looked surprised that she had gotten found out so soon but still felt happy to know that he understood her troubles without her needing to tell him. She nodded her head as she sighed and spoke up.

"Of course, I'm going to such a big city on my own. I would feel quite nervous... And I can't meet you as easily.."

The last part was a whisper but he heard it quite clearly due to gaining abilities of an assassin. If he hadn't heard, he should step down as a pro assassin. He smiled and patted her head.

"Hua, I had a talk with Uncle and he was fine with me going with you. I can support our finance, my organisation has been quite profitable."

Her eyes lit up with joy as she heard the news of him accompanying her to Nagazora. Then she became curious when she heard the second sentence.
