Reincarnated Hero System

"To think that these guys actually built a ski resort here..."

Eliza was a bit surprised as she didn't know the ski resort until Evan informed her about it. The artificial mountains were also not too high, with the tallest of them peaking at a thousand metres.

She couldn't even see the mountains in the distance over all the tall magic towers in the city-state, as compared to where the mansion of the damned and the inn they lodged in was located, the ski resort was almost on the opposite end of Kasteblum.

And since the city-state was close to about 1500Km square in area, it showed how far apart they were.

The duo did a little more than just a little bit of skiing, with them being at the resort until past noon. It was then that they finally decided to call it quits and have a short after-noon snack at the cafe in the resort.

As they walked into the full cafe, they were greeted by a cheerful female waitress whose cheerful look turned apologetic when she saw that there were two of them.

"At this time, the only seats available for two people are a couple-seat, is that okay?'

"Huh?"

Eliza let out a surprised voice while Evan withheld from voicing out his surprise like she did and responded to the waitress.

"That's fine… Yes."

"Yes, I understand. Then, please come this way."

Following the waiter's directions, they proceeded through the cafe as Eliza silently pinched Evan's side.

Eventually, the duo arrived at a cosy table with a sofa for two and a low table, unlike the usual table seating.

The waitress brought the menu for them as they took their seats, with Evan holding his sore side while Eliza hummed to herself and flipped through the menu.

"Oh, this looks nice.

I'd have the blueberry tart and tea set please."

"Okay. What about you, sir?"

The waitress noted down her order and turned to Evan, only for Eliza to speak up again once more.

"The same thing as me, just that his would be a strawberry tart instead. Oh, make the drink a cafe latte too."

Although she was initially at a loss, Evan's nod of affirmation allowed the waitress to see that he was okay with the order as she hurriedly put it down and left with a light bow.

,m The two had a light chat with each other, which mostly ended with Evan teasing Elia and nearly getting hit in return while they waited for their orders.

Since there was no armrest in between them, the two were seated at a distance where their shoulders touched one another.

This level of closeness was actually quite commonplace among them, but there was a slight sense of nervousness pervading the air between the two this time.

However, this nervousness was completely dispelled when their orders arrived and they got into their snacks.

The two left the cafe feeling refreshed, only to meet with an unexpected person right outside.

"Huh? Miss Joanna?"

"...?"

The vice chief grand magus who the duo encountered, slowly turned around and stared at them with sleepy eyes.

She was surrounded by a few other red-robed mages, with one wearing a dark blue robe that was only allowed to Grand Mages of Kasteblum.

Upon hearing Evan call out to Joanna, their expressions all turned strange and they were about to flare up when Joanna's voice rang out.

"Evan...? and... and...

what was your name again?"

"It's Eliza, Vice Chief Grand Magus."

The tall dark-skinned woman nodded to herself as she muttered Eliza's name to herself repeatedly.

"Eliza, huh? Got it.

Hopefully, I don't forget it next time."

Hearing her words, Evan chuckled lightly as he turned his gaze towards the mages who were glaring at him with dark gazes.

"You seem busy."

"I don't want to be. But that old man keeps forcing me to deal with annoying things.

I didn't even get to sleep for more than three days when he barged in and dragged me out."

When Evan heard this, he couldn't but be impressed by the fact that Gavin was able to bypass all the protective magic circle formations that surrounded Joanna's house.

'That's the Chief Grand Magus for you. There's a reason he's held that title for a century.'

It was at this point that the Grand Mage who was with Joanna attempted to speak up, perhaps intending to redirect her attention to whatever job that Gavin gave her.

"Vice-!!!"

However, the glare that Joanna shot in his direction, made him swallow his words as the aged Grand Mage found himself taking a step back in fear.

'There's a reason why she has 'that' title after all."

Those were Evan's thoughts upon witnessing this as he recalled the status board of the half-dark elf in front of him.

'Just like in the game, she has that 'Scary Woman' title.'

The young hero was brought out of his thoughts when Joanna turned her gaze back to him, the glare in her eyes disappearing as she continued speaking slowly.

"Hmm...Two of you...Together?

It sure is nice to be young."

"You're barely into your thirties so why are you talking like you're some sort of old woman?

Also, you do realize that you are a half-dark elf grandmaster-level existence, right? You've got at the very least, a thousand more years to live, and that's bound to increase as you get stronger."

The young hero shot back with a sigh, followed by Eliza's exclamation of surprise upon hearing Joanna's age.

"Woah, that's a lot lesser than I had expected."
