shortfangirl: She certainly got Add to do what she wanted if she pestered him enough. Mitsuru is plenty scary. She will literally whip people into shape, but I love her (I'm not a masochist, I swear). She is adorable when she didn't know how to deal with normal situation, like when she call officer Kurosawa because she thought Junpei was kidnapped by the messy state his room was in.

Ragna0011: Yeah, they kissed. It escalated quickly on the physical aspect only. They were still clueless about their feelings for each other. Honey, you read my mind. I've already planned for Raven and Rena (Reven) to stalk them. Not ElsAi though, since they were still busy with sparring. "Don't you have no life?" That is a double negative so yes, I do have a life. Jk, it's currently summer. I have plenty free time. I do go to cram school (since I'm going to go to college next year), but it only took 30% of my time. Also...Wait what...120 chapters! That writer is a beast (no offense)! I respect that person. This isn't going to last that long...maybe 20-ish. I mean until they finally decided something for their future. About ElsAi, yep, they're going to appear steadily...unlike Cheve (Add's stalking tendency made it hard to deal with this couple!)

NaruSaku1995: Yes, that is jealousy (maybe). I've always thought that MM's hair is sheep wool in disguise (XD). Awww, you're really nice for letting those 20 lvl-ish wins. That's amazing. And yeah...I really do hate those with flashy avatar and be like "huhehuehueh you're going down.". I mean just because you have the money doesn't mean you're good.

wulfralph: Oh my god, your name is hard to write. I have to check for five times to make sure. How do you pronounce that? Anyway...you want more right then HERE YOU GO! More BHxMM goodness!

MinoAlways: Thank you! First, for supporting this fic. Second, your name is really easy to write and pronounce (unlike the person before you). Aw shucks, I'm no hero, but I'm glad that I've created something that people enjoy. Also, jumping and screaming are the symptoms of shipping overdose. Please be mindful with your love for shippings (I'm joking).

Do you guys know the feeling when you thought that you haven't prepared enough and then ended up being too prepared? Like in Elsword for example. I was going to go Henir, but I only have 98 Intermediate Mana Potions then I stock up on 5000 POTIONS! Yeah...this fic is like that. I've thought that I will be late at this rate and now...I have 71 pages. Overly prepared. But still, it only lasts for 2 or 3 chapters. Not a lot now that i think about it.

Here's the next chapter. Enjoy lovely people!


Add finally agreed to accompany her. Although he said it would be just once, she had to make sure in the future that there would be a second time. For now, he agreed to accompany her was good enough. Elesis didn't waste anytime pulling his coat's sleeve with a bright smile. Add reluctantly sat up and followed her. He really hated to get some sunlight. It wasn't like he was a vampire, but he preferred the dim lights from his screens than the bright light from the sun. As Elesis successfully dragged Add out of his lab, she was greeted by Raven.

"Oh, you manage to get him out of there." Raven seemed astonished. "I'm impressed."

"Thank you. I think that this shut-in really needs some sunlight."

"My life choice is none of your concern woman." Add grumbled.

Elesis ignore him. She waved goodbye to Raven then the both of them walked towards the castle's exit. Obviously, Add wasn't pleased on the whole way there. He stuffed his hands into his pocket and the corner of his eye occasionally twitched. Elesis knew that he was angry, but she couldn't care less. She was getting tired of staying in the castle for nine days in a row. Some scenery would be nice to have.

When the both of them were out of sight, Raven hurriedly went to Rena's guest room. Luckily, she was really there. Rena was bored out of her mind since she promised to Raven that she wouldn't interfere with their love life anymore. When she saw him, she knew something interesting was about to happen.

"Elesis managed to drag Add out of his room. I think they're going on a date."

Rena's eyes brightened up and she was on her feet instantly. Without hearing any explanation from Raven, she hurried Raven along.

"We can't leave them alone! Let's follow them!"

"But I said that…" Raven didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as he was dragged away by the bouncy elf quickly.

As the huge door was opened, sunlight shone brightly into the castle. Naturally, Add squinted. It was definitely not his thing, but Elesis seemed to enjoy it a lot. She was quick on her feet and pulled Add along with her. It was afternoon at that point. The sunlight was not gentle, but it wasn't too harsh either. To be honest, Elesis would enjoy the morning light much more, but beggar can't be chooser. She was able to see the outside scenery and it was all that mattered. Unbeknownst to them, Raven and Rena was hiding somewhere close.

"This is going to be fun!" Rena couldn't content her happiness and accidentally said it too loud.

Raven quickly covered her mouth. He peeked out of his position and sighed in relief when the both of them didn't turn around to check. He understood that she was bored, but he didn't think that she was this excited over tailing them. He had to make sure that she didn't shout out anything during their date. Raven couldn't find an explanation to why they were following them if they found out.

"Ugh, this is unbearable." Add squinted when the sunlight hit him.

"Oh, get over it. So, tour guide." Elesis pointed at Add, who wasn't so happy with his brand new nickname. "What's the main attraction of Elder?"

"Don't know."

Raven face-palmed, he knew it. Add's answer made Elesis stared at him with wide eyes. He was the prince of Elder, how could he not know the specialties of his own country? Elesis paused. He never went out of his room anyway, so it made sense. However, it wasn't an excuse for his lack of interest in his own country. Elesis grabbed Add's wrist.

"Come on. Let's explore Elder." Elesis smiled brightly.

"Don't get your hope up too much."

Rena blinked at Add's attitude. She whispered quietly to Raven out of curiosity.

"Is he always like this?"

"Yes, yes he is."

After they left the castle for a while, the both of them had no idea where to go. It sure sounded great when Elesis said they should explore the place, but it was easier said than done. The whole country wasn't small so Elesis had no idea where to begin.

"Since you don't know where to go…" Add tapped his foot impatiently. "Can we go back now?"

"No! You should at least learn about your own country first."

Raven and Rena hid behind a tree nearby. Raven felt sorry for Elesis when Add was her tour guide. Elder had many places to go, but since Add didn't go out of his lab much, he didn't offer much help. Raven was sure that he would make a much better tour-guide. He shook his head, he couldn't interrupt their date.

"I thought that Elder has many tourist attractions." Rena whispered.

"It does, but you know how Add is."

Rena was afraid that their date wasn't going to go anywhere. She even wondered if they knew that they were dating or not. She had hoped that she would be able to see some moments between the two of them.

Add sighed. He knew one place to go. It was something special in Elder, but it was hardly entertaining. However, to him, any place would do since they would stand there forever if this kept up.

"Fine, let's go to the Merchant District. It's the trading month anyway."

Raven and Rena both gave him a thumb-up for figuring out where to go. Raven nodded enthusiastically since the Merchant District was a great place to visit if it was the tourist's first time in Elder. Also, they didn't have to keep standing here anymore. It was getting way too hot for that. Especially for Raven and Rena, they had to stand close to each other so the heat was unbearable. Like Elesis, the elf had no idea where that place was.

"Where?" Unknowingly, Rena and Elesis asked the same question.

"It's the place where merchants gather around to sell stuffs they had found on their journey." Rena mouthed an 'oh'. Add took Elesis's hand and leaded the way. "The trading month is the time when the place is most lively. Maybe a weirdo like you can find it fun."

"Oh please, you're much weirder than me Mr. Stalker."

Elesis was a bit conscious as he was holding her hand. It could be said the most gentle gesture he had ever done to her. Add turned back to look at her, arched an eyebrow questioningly as Elesis slowed down. She shook her head and picked up her pace. He should at least know why she was awkward. If this kind of thing happened a few days earlier, she swore both of them would look at each other like it was something crazy. Since the accident and their established casual kissing, it was a norm for both of them. It was surprising to Elesis, but it wasn't something that she hated.

Rena pointed at them then looked at Raven with wide eyes. She hadn't thought that they would move so fast. Raven only nodded at her. He understood what she was saying. They hadn't monitoring the two of them for a while so what happened in that time flew over their head.

"They move fast, don't they?" Raven nodded.

It didn't take too long before they arrived at the merchant district. Elesis was awed by how large the trading center was. It was huge and buzzing with activities. There were no extravaganza signs or posters, but the mere sight of it told her that it was the Merchant District. Add leaned his back against the fence while Elesis was gripping the metal bar tightly, her body was slight leaned towards it. The trading square was built on lower ground and from Elesis's standing, she could see everything.

"Be careful. You're going to fall." Add was caring enough to remind her.

"Isn't this amazing?" Elesis let go of the fence to spread her arms. "Why didn't you show me this place earlier?"

"Like I thought, only a weirdo like you would enjoy it." Add turned his head away. "It's too noisy for me. I'm only here for the chocolate they sell."

"Aren't you the weirdo here?" Elesis flashed him a wide grin, clearly she wasn't offended in anyway. "Come on, hurry!"

Quickly, she made her way down the light gray stone stairs along with a slightly grumpy Add slowly following from behind. When Elesis took the final step off the stairs, the noise and livelihood of the Merchant District hit her full-force. It felt amazing.

Rena could agree with that one hundred percent. She hadn't been able to feel something so lively for a long time. Raven pat her head, silently told her to contain her excitement. It didn't go too well as Rena pulled his hand to the nearest stall, which sold food. Temporarily, she forgot her mission.

"Hey! Aren't we supposed to follow them?" Raven tried to pull her back, but she resisted.

"Just for a few minutes wouldn't hurt." Rena turned to look at him with her best puppy eyes. "Please!"

Raven sighed. He gave up and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

Back with Elesis and Add...

"Elesis?" A slightly monotone voice snapped the Blazing Heart away from the awe.

"Eve!"

And immediately, the Code: Empress was pulled into a tight hug. She gave her a small smile before hugged her back. After a good while, Elesis let her go, but still holding her shoulders. She bounced up and down her feet in excitement.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm currently visiting Elder with Chung for a meeting with the king."

"Eve? Where are you?" It was a familiar slightly high-pitch male voice.

"Speaking of which…"

Chung ran towards them. His facial expression was a mix between relief and surprise. The relief was from the fact that he found Eve since she suddenly just ran off on her own and the surprise came from seeing Elesis here. He quickly approached them and gave Elesis a polite greeting.

"Fancy seeing you here, Nasod." Add immediately reminded Elesis of why meeting Eve here wasn't the best idea.

"Add? I did not notice your presence." Eve activated her defense system.

"Eve! Be careful!" Chung certainly wasted no time putting up his Destroyer. "What are you doing here stalker?"

"Seriously, is everyone going to call me by that name now?"

Elesis quickly blocked Add, stopped him from coming closer to Eve. He ticked his tongue and tried to push Elesis out of the way. Emphasize on 'tried' since Elesis stood her ground and didn't move even an inch.

"Yeah…Do you remember when I said that I have an arranged marriage?" Eve nodded. "And your stalker…is my fiancé."

Eve actually let her guard down for a sec as the news was quite shocking to her. She stared at them and let the suspension of disbelief sunk in. Since her face was always deadpan, it was hard for Elesis to see if she took the piece of news well or not. Chung wasn't any less surprise. He knew that the prince of Elder hardly ever shows up in public, but he didn't think that he would be Eve's stalker. On his case, Elesis could easily tell that he was lost for words. She quickly turned to Add, who was already holding his small diamond-shape things.

"We're here to have fun. Don't pull this on me now!" Elesis grimaced. "Can you stop your stalker tendency for at least today?"

"Like I said this morning, if the queen is on my territory, I'll be a fool for now trying to capture her." He was about to activate his drones, but Elesis quickly snatched them away from his hand.

"What do you think you're doing right now?"

"Just stop this for today and I promise I will never interrupt your work in the future. And if you don't…I will burn down your lab." Add could tell she was serious.

"You wouldn't dare." Add narrowed his eyes at her, but Elesis wasn't intimidated in any way.

"Try me. What do you prefer? Keeping up your current progression or losing everything for a chance of getting Eve's code? You have failed multiple times and you think you just succeed on this one?"

Add ticked his tongue and glared at her intensively. It was the second time she ruined his chance. He looked at Eve, who seemed ready to fight at anytime with Chung by her side then back at Elesis, who raised an eyebrow at him. Add sighed then turned away from the redhead.

"Fine! Only today. You hear?" Add reached his hand to take the drones which Elesis was holding.

"Nope." Elesis withdrew her hand quickly. "I have to make sure you keep your promise. I'm quite sure you're planning to turn your back on me."

She read him. Add gritted his teeth and stuffed his hands inside his pocket. He had to play her game this time. Elesis put the drones away in her pocket and cheerfully turned back to Eve. The queen was plenty surprised when her long time friend managed to convince her stalker to stop.

"I'm impressed Elesis."

"Yeah, thank you." Chung showed his gratitude with a smile. "I really don't like getting into fights."

"Now we can have fun!" Elesis jumped with excitement. "Right? Show me around!" She turned to Add.

"Fine."

Add was still angry from Elesis's threat. She really knew how to push his button. It was put aside when Elesis held his hand, grabbed his attention.

"Don't slow down so much!"

"Right…"

Elesis was filled with enthusiasm as she quickly took Eve's hand too. She rested her head on the queen's shoulder. She didn't get a chance to see Eve often and the last time they actually talked didn't last longer than five minutes. Elesis was thrilled to spend an entire day with her friend. Chung walked next to Eve. He was cautious with Add, who seemed to still eye Eve now and then. Elesis elbowed Add, quietly told him to stop planning to capture Eve (a.k.a being creepy). He looked away with dismay, he didn't want to get his lab burned down.

"Hey! Where do you buy chocolate?" Elesis asked.

"Huh? Over there."

Add pointed at the stall not too far from them. Elesis didn't waste anytime to rush there with Add and Eve. Chung had to run after them since Elesis pulled the two of them. As they arrived at the stall, Add detached his hand from Elesis's.

"Echo, the usual."

A girl, seemed to be not over fifteen, sat up and revealed herself. She looked like a child with pure white pigtails, but the clothes she wore looked accurate to a merchant. She nodded at Add's request.

"You don't come over much lately." She pulled a big box with his name written on it.

Add nodded absent-mindedly and pulled out some silver ED to pay for his chocolate. He unpacked it immediately and threw a bar towards Elesis, who caught it with ease. She unwrapped the silver wrapping and snapped the bar to three equal pieces.

"Here. Try some Eve." She handed Eve her piece then Chung. "And here's yours."

"Thank you." Chung took the chocolate off her hand.

"You have my gratitude." Eve nodded.

"Hey! I'm giving it to you only cavewoman." Add ticked it tongue, he certainly didn't care about how the others were feeling.

"Who's that? Your girlfriend?" Echo nodded towards Elesis. "I've never seen you share your chocolate before."

"Correction. Fiancée."

Echo let out a small 'oh' then turned to Elesis. She didn't seem to hear what Add was saying as she was still talking with Eve and Chung. Chung bit on the chocolate. It seemed like he thought it was delicious. His expression went from skeptical to amazed.

"It really is good." He nodded.

"Of course, it's my special recipe." Echo pointed at Add. "That is what gets this guy hooked on chocolate."

"Eve, you should try some." Elesis turned to the queen, who kept staring at the brown sweet.

"You idiot. She's a Nasod. She can't eat this." Add knocked her head.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I keep forgetting that from times to times."

Eve shook her head and handed the chocolate to Chung, who also seemed to forget that the queen herself was a Nasod. He quickly ate the piece Eve handed him then took her hand. Eve's expression still looked deadpan, but it was obvious that she wasn't expecting his gesture.

"Let's look for something to buy here."

"Well, looks like the couple of lovers left a couple of lovers." Echo leaned against the stall and looked at Chung and Eve.

"We're not lovers." Add and Elesis said in unison.

Elesis glared at him while Add ticked his tongue in annoyance. Echo snickered quietly. Add himself claimed that she was his fiancée, yet he didn't think that they were lovers. However, he was kinder to her than the other two as he only shared his chocolate with her. Add took out a drone and it scanned the box. Quickly, the box disappeared.

"What? You still have one?" Elesis thought that she confiscated all of his drones.

"This one is only used to transport objects back in my lab." Add sighed at the way Elesis looked at him. "It doesn't work on the Nasod. I'm still figuring out the reason."

Elesis wondered if she could trust him then quickly decided that she couldn't. Add was a man obsessed with Nasod technology and had been trying to capture Eve for who knows how long. He couldn't be trusted. Elesis suddenly jumped on his back and took the drone away from Add.

"What are you doing cavewoman?!"

"Sorry, you can't be trusted."

As Elesis successfully took the drone, she waved her hand goodbye then ran towards Chung and Eve's direction. Add's eye corner twitched. He felt like his anger meter was rising dramatically. Echo looked at him in amusement.

"Look like your girlfriend is a lot to handle."

"That woman is not my girlfriend."

Add stuffed his hands in his pocket and leaned against Echo's stall.

"Hurry up tour guide!"

Elesis's far away voice made him sighed. Echo pat his back, telling him to go. Add reluctantly got up and headed towards the redhead.


This is one long date. It will last two chapters so don't worry about it being five chapters long or anything.
