Reason of Liking

 Fortunately for the girls, tomorrow will be a rest day, so, they will not have to undergo the torture prepared by their two teachers. Still, it only delays the inevitable, as they still going to be tormented by the two boys.

 As the morning came, they decided to have breakfast individually, so there was no need to wake up early. Something three people took.

 As for the other two, they exit their room at the same time, with Fiona suddenly blushing for no reason.

 Surprised, Ian was about to ask when she leaned forward and whispered to his ear, "I know you had been staring at me yesterday,"

 Now it was Ian turned to blush. His appraisal made him look at the girl's breast but he could not be blamed. After all, it was big, bigger than most girls he had seen, in the previous life that is.

 He was about to say something when she decided to say something that made his blood boil. 

 "I don't mind, if it was you that stare," she said shyly, her face facing to the floor, not daring to look at his eyes.

 Controlling his blush, Ian put his palm under her chin and lifted her face, forcing her to look at him. Then, he leaned forward and gave the girl's lips a quick peck.

 The blush on her face somehow became red, something he thought to be impossible. She also let out cute stutters, unable to form a coherent word.

 "How cute," his words made her ears blow steam, making him laugh as he looked at the blonde blue eyes.

 "How about this," he decided to give her a lifeline. "Let's go on a date for the day. And if we both like it, well, do I need to say it?" the girl nodded furiously. Ian gave her a smile while inside, a spirit version of himself pumping his fist up in the air.

 Considering they were going to have breakfast, they went together, though Ian boldly linked their arms together, Fiona's redness did not recede during their walk.

 When they arrived, they took a seat before ordering their breakfast. As their breakfast was being made, Ian could not help but feel curious.

 "Say, why do you like me?" he asked. After all, aside from some basic interaction between the two, aside from her asking him about magic, they did not really speak that much.

 "W-well," Ian could not help but find her stuttering adora- focus! "When you came and helped us, you were all serious and no-nonsense, giving me orders while I was still in shock. 

 But if you don't, then the two will likely die so I owe you for that one. Then, you and Kell destroyed the incoming monsters. The other two might have their eyes and Kell, but for me, the more outstanding is you. 

 Ian, you can perform magic with no medium easily, not to mention how large your mana reserve is to the point you can cast so many spells. During that time, I think what I have for you is admiration.

 Then, when we formed our group, I got to know you better. That's when admiration becomes affection. I know I like you but I don't know if it's just a crush or something more," she told him, all the while blushing badly.

 Ian gave her a wide smile and was about to say something when their breakfast arrived.

 "Let's talk after breakfast, alright,"

 After done with breakfast, Ian leads her to a park inside the city. Because it was not noon yet, there were some people but not a lot compared to the evening, which suited Ian better. After all, what he was about to say was something for her ears only

 As they walked around the park, Ian brought her to a more secluded place, where he pushed her to a tree, performing a kabedon on her.

 "You already told me why you like me, then I should return the favor," Fiona nodded shyly, her face red.

 "For me, the first thing I thought about is how attractive you are. Of course, with your body, I imagine a lot of people having the same thought as me," Fiona nodded despondently. After all, it was the same in her hometown, the reason why she left in the first place.

 "However," her head perked up, "As I spend more time with you, I could not help but see you in a different light. With how much you try to be helpful and how you try to stand up for yourself, I can tell you are trying to become someone who can stand on her own.

 Your perseverance, along with the fact you seem eager to learn, is what I found attractive about you," and he did not speak sweet words.

 After all, Ian is known to speak bluntly but truthfully. Even if the person he says to is a beautiful girl, he will say what he believes is true, the reason why it is hard for him to get a chocolate during Valentine's.

 However, the blonde in front of him is different. She tried her best, and when she knew she could not advance without help, she requested guidance, which was better than most girls he interacted with that acted more like a stereotypical girl found in drama.

 Not to mention the other reasons, namely her beauty. From her hourglass figure, her curvaceous form, her large breast and butt, and of course, her beautiful face that will not lose out to models in his old world, which he considered a plus.

 If Kell knew about it, he would say something about how Ian is a boob man, but he is not here and so Ian did not have to worry about it. He was grateful the oaf was a late riser.

 Tears formed in her eyes as she felt everything she did began to pay off. Someone, aside from her best friends, noticed her effort and it was someone she had some affection too.

 Not thinking straight, Fiona jumped, their lips clashed as she mashed her lips with his before her weight made him tumble down. 

 It is a good thing the area is secluded or a lot of people will get a free show out of it. As they kissed, Ian pushed her slightly, before resuming the kiss, her moan was swallowed by Ian, whose dormant hormone started awakening.
