After explaining the rules, Isolde told the new members to rest in the garden. Ren and Elara sat on the wooden bench and chatted there.

A moment later, Isolde returned and walked toward them.

"These are books about your beast forms." Isolde handed them the books. "They are just copies, so you two can keep them."

"Thank you." Ren and Elara answered in unison.

"You two don’t have space rings, right?" Isolde asked.

A space ring was a handy tool that could store any item, material, etc. With a mere thought, the owner could store and retrieve the items at will.

"Yes." They were poor.

There was no way they could afford to buy something expensive like space rings.

"Here, take it." Isolde gave each of them a space ring.

"Thank you." Both Ren and Elara smiled happily.

Now that they had space rings, they could carry many things easily.

Then, Isolde took them to meet the blacksmith to customize weapons for them. They both decided to request long daggers and a sword.

Weapons, armor and staves were divided into five ranks.

From the lowest to the highest, they were Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique and Legendary.

Even though Ren and Elara had just joined the organization, they were still given Uncommon-ranked weapons since they were seen as promising members.

After that, Isolde brought them to the library to choose advanced combat techniques.

Once they selected the manuals that suited them, she took them to their private training ground.

Ren and Elara were thrilled.

Their training ground had a hot spring, so they could soak and relax after practicing.

Several minutes later, Ren and the others went home.

----

"Elara, it’s already 04:50 pm, so let’s go to the amusement park tomorrow," Ren spoke abruptly.

"Alright." Elara agreed immediately.

As they were on their way home, Luna’s voice rang out from behind them.

"Big brother...big sister..." Luna ran toward them with a happy face.

Ren and Elara instantly stopped their footsteps and turned around. The moment they knew it was Luna, their faces broke into smiles.

"Oh, it’s my little angel." He carried her with a happy face.

"Big brother, where did you go?" Luna asked.

"Big brother went to Skyline Arena to take a test." He gave an honest answer.

"A test?" Luna tilted her head cutely.

"How was the result?" Sylvie asked as she approached them slowly.

He turned to Sylvie and replied, "We passed and joined the Aether Organization."

"Congratulations." Sylvie’s lips curled up into a smile.

"Thank you." He answered.

They continued chatting.

When they reached the intersection, they parted ways. After arriving home, Ren and Elara took a shower immediately.

To their surprise, Sylvie and Luna came to their place when they were about to eat dinner. But what surprised them most was that she came with many foods and drinks.

Ren and Elara managed to join the Aether Organization, so she wanted to celebrate it.

Since they wanted to eat food while enjoying the night sky, they decided to hold the small party in the front yard.

"Haha." Their joyful laughter filled the air.

Ren and the others were thoroughly enjoying their time together.

They even felt like the front yard had transformed into a small paradise because the gentle breeze, food, and the lively conversation made everything peaceful and full of happiness.

"Big brother, try this." Luna, who was sitting on his lap, took a boneless chicken wing and turned to him.

"Delicious!" Ren ate it with a happy smile.

"Hehe." Luna giggled cheerfully.

"So, what is your plan for tomorrow, Ren?" Sylvie asked curiously.

"We will go to the organization and after that, I will take Elara to the amusement park." He answered honestly.

"Oh! You two are going on a date tomorrow?" Sylvie covered her mouth in surprise. "Does that mean you’ve made plans to make some sweet memories together?"

"Well, maybe we will try some games there." In truth, he hadn’t made any plan at all.

But since it would be her first time visiting an amusement park, he would take her to try all the fun games because he wanted to create unforgettable memories together. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Say, have you two ever kissed before?" Sylvie asked something sensitive with a straight face as if it were a normal question.

"What?!" Ren and Elara widened their eyes in shock.

"You two live together and already look like a couple, so I’m curious how far things have gone between you two." Sylvie believed they already knew about each other’s feelings.

"What are you talking about, Mrs Sylvie? Even though we live together, we haven’t done anything like that." Ren had only held Elara’s hands so far, nothing more than that.

Elara didn’t say anything, but she nodded her head, confirming his statement.

"What about dates? Is tomorrow your first date?" Sylvie threw another question.

"Yes," he nodded.

"Then, you two must kiss tomorrow." Sylvie tried to act like a cupid. "That way, your first date will be unforgettable since it will also be your first kiss."

The corner of Ren’s lips twitched while Elara lowered her head shyly.

"Luna, how is the snack? Do you like it?" Ren changed the topic to save Elara from embarrassment.

"Un. I like it!" Luna replied while chewing it.

"Hehe." Sylvie giggled softly when he changed the topic.

They continued chatting.

At 10:00 pm, Sylvie and Luna went home.

Before leaving, she teased them by saying they would be alone in the home, but their response was the same.

Once they disappeared into the distance, Ren and Elara headed to their rooms. That night, they slept with smiles on their faces since they had just had a great time together.

----

The following morning, they went to the Aether Organization after breakfast.

Unlike usual, they only trained combat techniques this time.

After practicing for several hours, they stopped and had lunch together.

At 03:10 pm, they took a bath before finally traveling to the amusement park.

Elara’s eyes sparkled as she sat in the bus and looked at the streets through the window because it was her first time riding any vehicle.

Once they arrived at their destination, the happiness within her grew bigger. All this time, she could only hear about the amusement park from adults.

Now that she was there, she felt like she had stepped into a whole new world.

Ren’s face blossomed into a smile as he saw her expression. He knew she would be shocked and happy, but her reactions were beyond his expectations.

He reached for her hand and held it gently. "Let’s buy tickets first."

"Al...alright." Even though they had done it several times, she still felt shy.

Of course, she was thrilled.

She was in love with him, so she liked holding hands with him.

Once they bought tickets, he brought her in to play some fun games.

He started with the merry-go-round since it was simple, fun, and not too much to handle for her first experience.

After that, they played a shooting game and won a beautiful pink teddy bear as a prize.

Once the sun had set, he took her to the haunted house with the intention of acting like her brave hero.

To his surprise, when the actors tried to scare her, she shifted into her partial transformation and hit them instinctively.

Ren was panicked and stopped her immediately. He also apologized to the actors for being hurt by her punches.

After leaving, he took her to the food court to eat together.

Even though the food they ordered wasn’t expensive, it tasted like the most delicious meal in the world since they were eating with the person they loved.

Five minutes after they finished their food, Ren asked, "Shall we walk around and try more games?"

"Alright." She agreed immediately.

Then, they played more games.

Like before, happy laughter frequently escaped from their mouths.

Even when they lost the game, they were still happy because what mattered most to them was the moment they shared together.

"Next, let’s ride that Ferris wheel." Ren pointed his right index finger at the massive ride.

Elara lifted her gaze to look at it before finally nodding her head. "Alright."

He wanted to create an unforgettable memory, so he tipped the operator. The operator understood what he wanted and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Please remain seated and keep your hands inside. Enjoy the ride!" The worker closed the door as she smiled at them professionally.

Shortly after, the Ferris wheel slowly began to move.

Elara’s body tensed slightly as it rotated downward since the sensation felt like she was falling from the air.

But she quickly calmed down.

When it went up, her face lit up because the view was amazing.

But before she could fully enjoy it, it started going down once more. On the last rotation, the wheel stopped when they were at the top.

Elara was a little worried, while Ren was still calm because he knew it was going to happen. The moment her gaze fell on the beautiful view around her, her worry vanished without a trace.

The sight of colorful lights and tall buildings beneath them was absolutely breathtaking. From the top, the entire city looked stunning and alive, like a sea of stars.

As a gentle breeze brushed against her, Ren reached for her hand and held it gently.

Elara was startled and immediately turned to him.

Maybe it was because they could see the entire city from the top, or perhaps because they were on their first date.

The moment their eyes met, their hearts started to beat fast.

Not only that, but a desire to kiss also appeared for the first time.

Since they were in love with each other, both Ren and Elara didn’t fight it and slowly leaned in.

The closer their faces got, the faster their hearts beat.

A moment later, their lips finally met.

Under the beautiful night sky, Ren and Elara had their first kiss on their first date.
