Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1157 - 1151: The Date

The letter carrying the message from Halois was brought by Alya.

The beginning of the matter was initiated by the holder of the original fairy tale text, and now facing difficulties, of course, the solution might also be found from this aspect.

So, just as was entrusted by the other party before departure.

Ronald and Patricia, after confirming a place to stay in the city, bought paper and pen, wrote down their current situation, and then found a post office in the city to send out the letter.

After this, the remaining task was just to wait.

After all, as Alya explained, she possesses a special spell that can convey messages through letters in most situations.

At this moment, Ronald had already sent out an inquiry letter, leaving the remaining matters that did not require his involvement.

"So, Ronald, what are we supposed to do next?"

On the way back to the rented place, Patricia asked Ronald:

"According to the plan you mentioned before, after sending the letter, we seem to have nothing to do temporarily?"

Ronald first nodded, then shook his head:

"In regards to finding Halois, we indeed just need to wait; however, apart from that, since we've come to this new city managed by a heretical magician, we might as well take this opportunity to explore around."

Hearing Ronald's response, Patricia's face immediately showed a clean smile:

"In that case... can I understand this as a gentleman inviting a lady on a date?"

"..."

Ronald was momentarily stunned.

At this moment, Patricia did not carry the responsibilities of her noble status as [Gride], and the task with Ronald of finding Halois had also come to a pause.

Without any status or responsibilities binding her.

For once, Patricia displayed her cute side to Ronald.

Faced with such a Patricia.

Ronald could not refuse:

"Of course, this indeed counts as my invitation to you!"

As soon as Ronald spoke, Patricia nodded in satisfaction.

She simultaneously extended her right hand to Ronald, with a naturally graceful movement, her eyes revealed a slight nervousness, indicating Patricia's anxious state at the moment.

"Then, Mr. Ronald, I accept."

——This is the action for a hand-kissing ceremony.

Living in [Gride] for over a year, Ronald had naturally understood such cultural nuances.

Thus, he acted according to his understanding.

Ronald took Patricia's right hand and then kissed her pure, flawless hand back.

...

The taste was a bit salty.

Looking at the calloused hand of the swordswoman before him, Ronald momentarily spaced out.

The taste on his lips was not from sweat on Patricia's hand, but rather from when the swordswoman held onto the boat railing, getting her hands wet with seawater on their journey here.

Though the seawater had long dried.

Nevertheless, with Ronald's heightened physical sensitivity, he could still detect a trace of it from the remaining residue.

Silently, Ronald released the soft hand before him.

He looked up at the sky, where the dawn of morning had just begun to reveal itself.

Behind Ronald and Patricia, the newspaper delivery boy was busily coming and going from the post office. Many who saw Ronald and Patricia's actions sent understanding and congratulatory smiles their way.

Standing quietly in front of Ronald, Patricia glanced at her retracted right hand and then continued:

"So, Mr. Ronald, where should we go?"

"Uh…"

Ronald immediately got stuck again.

From his heart, Ronald naturally hoped to offer a proper plan at this moment, but things were not as simple as imagined.

Finally, thinking about Patricia's personality, Ronald decided to frankly admit his lack of a plan:

"Patricia, apologies."

"Although it's my invitation, the truth is that I too have just set foot in this city for the first time and haven't..."

Whoosh—

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by.

To anyone else in this city, it was an unnoticed light breeze.

But not to Ronald.

Having locked onto Gwendolin's presence with the spell from "Capitalism", Ronald was immediately aware that this breeze was not a product of nature.

But rather, Gwendolin, whose body had turned incorporeal, issued this reminder.

"?"

Following this direction, Ronald instantly got the message.

For less than half a kilometer beyond the post office, the high red domed roof guarded an important infrastructure in the city—the train station.

In that instant, Ronald's opinion of Gwendolin greatly improved.

Though this fellow had previously been adversarial and read his mind without permission.

Yet at this crucial moment, she provided him with a timely suggestion!

Quietly, Ronald accepted this assistance.

While noting this favor, he turned to Patricia and continued from his earlier invitation:

"Wait, I have an idea!"

"The train station isn't far from here. How about we check it out first?"

Hearing such an invitation from Ronald, Patricia didn't conceal her joy:

"That's a great idea!"

"I recall our first meeting was at the train station in Berlinwich."

Ronald responded with a smile:

"I wonder what differences the train station in [Runi Kingdom] has compared to [Gride]."

Thus, with mutual agreement, the two headed towards the location of the city's train station.

——[Donchomu Station] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The sign at the front of the station informed Ronald of its name, while [Donchomu] was also the name of this city.

But compared to stations like [Berlinwich] or [Springs].

Although newly established by heretical magicians, this train station appeared mundane in detail, just meeting the basic requirements for train operations.

As casters, Ronald and Patricia.

Faced no obstacles as they arrived successfully at the station's platform.

Here, Ronald saw a familiar sight found in every train station—the vendor pushing a small cart.

Ronald unhesitatingly extended an invitation:

"Patricia, would you like to try some food here?"

In Patricia's eyes was a look of nostalgia:

"Of course, I'd love to."

"..."

Thus, the two's date at the train station continued until noon.

Ronald and Patricia purchased a lunch at the platform's benches, and after eating, courteously disposed of their trash in a bin before returning to their inn.

However, before Ronald and Patricia could head upstairs.

The person in the lobby responsible for reception hurriedly approached them.

Through the lodging registration, he knew Ronald and Patricia were mysterious high-ranking casters, respectfully retrieving an envelope from his pocket:

"Mr. Brad, this letter arrived for you at noon from the post office. Please accept it!"
