"Hey Leon, tomorrow's Saturday."
"Yeah? And?"
"It's also a holiday."
"...Okay?"
"So... are you free tomorrow?"
That was the moment Leona—yes, the crossdresser—who had been casually scrolling through reels on her phone, glanced up and blinked at me like I just short-circuited her brain.
To be fair, it was a bit sudden. I had just come back to my apartment after overhearing a conversation between Leo and the others, and now I was standing here asking Leona out.
Well—not like that. It wasn't a date or anything.
See, the academy had rewarded me a decent chunk of achievement points after the recent... chaos. Enough to finally spend on something useful. Potions, gear, maybe some enchanted items—anything that could help me not die the next time someone went nuts.
But there was one small issue.
Okay. Maybe not small.
I didn't know how to buy things here.
