16 Demon's Butterfly

"Hoho young man what brings you here?"

Entering the small antique store Damon was greeted by an old man who was standing at the counter.

Damon looked towards his direction and focused on the beautiful painting hanging at the wall behind him.

It was a beautiful painting of a red colour butterfly which looked really enchanting.

"I want that painting"

"This?"

The old man looked behind him, seeing the painting Damon was pointing at he frowned.

"Young man this is just a copy of the famous Demon's Butterfly I got it a few years ago"

"It's not worth it at all, you should probably see some other things"

"It may be just a copy but it's beautiful, I want to buy this painting."

"Sigh young ones these days, Ok it will be 200 dollars"

Damon didn't waste any time and bought the beautiful painting and left the antique store heading straight to his car.

[You bought the real Demon's Butterfly worth 10 million dollars before Nathan could, stealing his opportunity.

Nathan's Luck is reduced by -1, the host's luck is increased by +1, system points: +1000]

[Ding! Nathan's Luck has fallen below the standards of being the protagonist.

Nathan's Current Luck Points: 24]

Damon glanced at the system notification and a smile formed on his lips as he walked to where his car was parked.

"S-sir, you are back"

"you are still nervous"

Damon chuckled looking at his personal attendant and today's date who is still nervous.

"Sorry Sir"

"Shh you don't have to be sorry, it was me who proposed this date out of the blue. It's ok for you to be nervous"

".. Or you don't want to go on a date with me"

"No No..I mean yes Sir I want to go with you"

Aisha said panicking as she thought that Damon would misunderstand her and rattled her head from side to side, saying it out loud.

Damon chuckled hearing Aisha's words.

Aisha who saw him chuckling understood that he was messing with her and puffed her red cheeks a little like a squirrel.

'That's cute'

Damon thought of seeing Aisha like this.

In his previous life he didn't date nor flirt with anyone so this was a new experience for him.

Damon handed Aisha the painting he had just brought to carry as he started driving.

"This is?"

Aisha who was now more comfortable asks Damon to hold the bag carrying the painting.

"Nothing, it's just a gift for Father"

"A gift for Sir Arthur?"

"Yes, it's nothing special but I hope he will like it"

"Well it's a gift given by you sir I am sure he would like it"

"Well I hope so but we are on a date now so let's focus on that and yes stop calling me sir"

"What do you mean sir?"

"I want you to drop those formalities in front of me and just call me by name"

"But S-sir"

"It's an order"

"Yes sir"

"Damon"

"Yes D-d-damon"

Aisha did as she was told and called Damon by his name with a mosquito like tone which wouldn't be audible for a normal man to hear but with his superhuman senses Damon was able to hear it clearly and smiled.

It wasn't a cold smile nor an arrogant one which he always used, this smile came from an unknown emotion which Damon felt unfamiliar with but the feeling he got made him yearn for more.

The date went by beautifully where Damon took Aisha to numerous places from a high end cafe to theatre and parks.

They both liked each other's company and throughout the day a silly smile hung on Aisha's face.
