The Newbie Is Too Strong's
82. Romantic Dating in a Virtual World
Lia seems to feel guilty for attacking Doro-doro due to mistakenly thinking it as an evil monster.
I smiled seeing him too.
He looks cute when he's panicking.
I rubbed her hair to calm her down.
“It's okay, Lia. Your pardon has been passed on to Doro-doro and he seems to have forgiven you. View.”
I pointed to the doro-doro. The beast that was originally looking at the two of us with a puppy look trying to look cute then flapped its fins as we both smiled at him.
Doro-doro seemed to understand the situation and tried to convey to us that he was fine. Seeing that, Lia also laughed out loud until her tears came out while saying, “Sorry yes, Doro-doro, has attacked you just now.”
“Pyayayayar.” As if responding to Lia's request with agreement, Doro-doro made a sound while flapping his fins and then circling in the water while showing a friendly expression.
“Huaaak.” However, the roar of one of the sea monsters resuscitated us that we were still in battle.
Lia and I refocused our alert state.
We worked well with the doro-doro in the water where the sea monsters in the water were handled by them, while the ones that escaped from them and almost managed to reach the surface, were overcome by us.
“Pyayayayayar.” One of the doro-doro then responded to us as if looking happy with our cooperation. We smiled back at them. At once, the doro-doro immediately returned to flapping its fins and continued the battle.
Not long after, the third wave appeared at once the last but also the most feared. Giant crabs and kraken appear simultaneously from the water.
The archers and mages play the most part here where they shoot their way towards the monster. Then the shielders and swordsmen acted as defense. As for the clerics, including Lia, giving their buff support. Meanwhile, me and the other assassins were in charge of protecting the cleric.
Well, the point is, in the monster boss's attack, I didn't play much. The monster boss did not have any special powers so with his generous cooperation from the veteran adventurers, it was enough to defeat the monster.
Night fell and the glowing plankton returned to their habitat in the deep waters. With the departure of the entity that was the cause of the abnormal behavior of the sea monsters, the attack of the sea monsters was immediately ended.
We used the flesh remnants of the sea monsters we hunted, especially the kraken and the giant crab to feast at night.
I had guessed before that the giant crab would also taste good considering its shape which is almost similar to the dhaki-dhaki, but I did not expect that the kraken also has a good taste, too, not unlike the taste of squid, even ten times better with a distinctive umami taste.
Lia and I were sitting in one of the places near the beach that somehow made me focus more and more on looking at Lia with a heart beat. Is it because of the atmosphere of the place that really looks very lovey dovey? I don't know either.
What is clear is that the beautiful woman is currently near me, looking back at me with her exciting tease and it makes my heart almost explode. I covered it up by trying to smile as usual in front of him.
“Pyayayayayar.”
Then immediately, the voices of the doro-doro were heard from the direction of the waters. We stared in that direction. They appear to circle the water in a circular formation in an attraction. A moment later, each of them spouted out its water. The moonlight reflected through the water they sprayed. And it looked so beautiful like a glittering yellow jewel. The darkness of the night increasingly revealed that beautiful sparkle.
It also adds to the romantic atmosphere with Lia and I sitting at this time. I also saw the expression on Lia's reddened face. Not only am I nervous. Lia is like that too. Maybe this is the right time for me to give her a gift.
The romantic atmosphere was also used to give Lia a gift that I had prepared for her.
From my inventory, I took out a large red box bound by a beautifully designed pink ribbon.
“What is this, Luca?”
“Gift.” I answered briefly while smiling at Lia's question with those flushed cheeks.
“But Luca need not bother like that..”
“But I'm Lia's boyfriend. This is a special right that I have, right? Lia who said it herself.”
I immediately cut off Lia's words by returning what she used to say to me. I tried so hard to look cute there to melt her heart. I'm happy because Lia's counter-expression is what I expected. A shy expression typical of a holy-hearted girl. How could I not love this girl in front of me.
Then, Lia could not dodge anymore and blushed embarrassed while opening the gift in the box.

“Luca, isn't this a rare item? If this is sold, it should be worth a hundred million rupiahs. I can't accept expensive stuff like this.”
I tried to keep my poker face smile so that Lia would not be burdened. I once again reversed his old words to me.
“Then what if I made up for it with a dinner appointment? Hmm... I guess twenty times in a fancy restaurant is enough? That must be an easy thing right for a conglomerate princess?”
Lia seemed to be trying to hide her identity as the conglomerate's daughter to me. But I knew that first from Brother Andra. She was probably afraid that I would treat her differently after knowing her identity.
As a princess trapped in a high social status, I understood very well the feeling of Lia being isolated. The feeling of isolation will gradually turn into a feeling of abandonment that will evolve into a feeling of being unneeded. I don't want Lia to experience such an inferior feeling.
So, this might be a good time to bring this matter to the surface to convince Lia that I won't treat her differently even after I know her identity.
A confused expression from Lia.
“So, you already know my identity apparently, Luca.” Her face was sad when Lia said that.
“How did I not know that when Senior Asario said it so clearly.” I tried to joke for a moment to melt the atmosphere.
“Cih, that guy!” I heard Lia faintly grumble, but immediately fixed her expression back.
I smiled looking at his faith even though he was angry.
“I'll never treat Lia differently, so take it easy. Anyway, I'm Lia's boyfriend, right?” I said as I rubbed her fine hair.
Lia seemed embarrassed. I added, too,
“Then Lia also can't treat me differently. Ah, it hurts if my gift is rejected.” I say while pretending to be in pain as if I have a chronic illness.
Lia smiled looking at my rigid acting.
“Alright, Luca, I'll accept this gift.”
I smiled back and said, “Thank God.”
I was silent for a moment before I finally returned,
“Lia is a great player as a battle healer. But Lia's defense is weak and also Lia's magic incantation is old. However, those two items would reduce Lia's weakness. Evony's silat suits will strengthen Lia's defense while Lia's magic-type heroine twin pistols can accelerate Lia's magic incantation time. Thus, Lia would become a more powerful player after covering up Lia's lack gap.”
“I, however, want to see my girlfriend perform perfectly with the item I gave her. Won't Lia grant my request?” I said while showing the expression of the quilted puppy I could show.
“Hahahahaha.” Lia laughed out loud watching my funny expression. But a moment later, Lia's expression seemed to become even more serious.
“I promise I won't disappoint Luca. I will use the item from my cute girlfriend to shine in the international e-sport match.” Lia answered confidently accompanied by a meaningful smile.
