"W-Wha… g-go out with you?"
Hal was immediately flustered, caught off guard by the question.
Korren and the others inevitably faded into the background in the face of the sudden confession.
'A-As in on a date? What the hell is wrong with this woman?! Are all women in the city like this?!'
He even forgot that Liora was from the sticks like him.
"Look, I know I'm somewhat attractive and all… but should you really be basing your preferences on just looks? Also, we only met each other today, so shouldn't we at least get to know each other first or something…"
Liora realized she had been misunderstood and blushed slightly.
However, she didn't lose her composure and simply cleared her throat.
"I… meant on a mission. You're now an E-ranked Wizard, are you not?"
Hal froze at the clarification.
His brows rose, then furrowed.
"How… did you know that?" he asked with a wary tone.
Meanwhile, the onlookers were dumbfounded by what they heard.
