“You sure you don’t have something a bit bigger than this size?” Naruto complained, the suit he was trying too tight for him. It wrapped on his body like it was going to crush his bones, and that wouldn’t be comfortable. “No sir.” The classy shopkeeper replied, fixing his spectacles on his eyes with his fingers shortly after. “But..” Naruto sighed, this wasn’t the kind of thing he would be good at. He took the flyer of that day’s job of his, looking at it with slight annoyance. “Today I’m a noble date..” Looking down, the shopkeeper patted him, trying to console the blonde mage. “Well I’m sure you can do this, sir.”

“Gee, thanks…” Naruto replied in a low voice, he wanted to run away from such situation if he could, but the thing is, he couldn’t. Even being alongside a noble gives chill running down his spine, let alone being a noble himself. “Well.. it wouldn’t be so bad.. It IS, an act after all.” Naruto tried to encourage himself, giving the bills to his guild to pay.

Leaving the shop, the classy shopkeeper thanked him for buying, giving Naruto some tips as he did. “Well.. that really helped.” Naruto had manage to calm himself down, thanks to the tips the shopkeeper gave earlier. “Still.. I didn’t know nobles pay thousands of jewels for a set of clothes.” Naruto sighed, even his expensive house rent costed 1500 jewels per month, but the suit he bought costed 5000 jewels on its own. “Damn. I’m so outclassed.” Naruto chuckled at his own claim, finding it to be slightly funny. It was evening by the time he had bought the suit, and that he had to change to it quick to attend the ball that night.

Naruto walked out of his house, slightly shaking. It was awkward wearing such clothes, and he never knew that fixing a tie would be such a pain in the butt. He was nervous too, and that explained the obvious shaking on his legs. A horse cart drew near, making his heart beat faster from the seemingly unstoppable awkwardness.

The car stopped right in front of him, and the butler that came and opened the door for him made everything seemed so unreal to him. The lower class people that lived nearby his house looked at him, whispering thoughts to each other while they did. “Damn.. I hope they don’t get me wrong.” Naruto sighed, boarding in the cart before the butler closed the door for him. “Sir.. Let me tell you something.” The butler’s sudden intend to talk caught Naruto’s attention. “Our madamme. She’s.. somehow out of the class of well manners.” Naruto tilted his head, confused. “She’s.. rude?” The butler sighed, and Naruto took that as a yes. “Do try to change her as hard as you can, please.” It was a plead, and Naruto agreed by nodding.

Reaching the ball venue, everything was so classy. To put it simple, everything was out of Naruto’s league. “So, this is how the rich lives..” Naruto sighed, wondering if he had enough money to pay this month’s rent.

“Sir, there she is, our madamme.” The butler pointed his thumb towards a lady facing somewhere else, which was kind of polite. “Thanks, I’ll try my best!” Naruto looked at the butler, giving him a thumbs up. “Hm. I wish for the best of luck, Sir.” The butler bowed once, before slowly disappearing amidst the crowd of rich people. He gulped once, walking towards the lady as calm as he could, doing his best to prevent his legs from shaking. “Okay, take a deep breath.. then speak!” Naruto reminded himself of the ways of the noble he had been practicing before, gulping again after.

“Er.. Good evening, Senorita.” The lady turned to face Naruto, her face annoyed. “What the hell!? Do you know how late you’ve been, blonde idiot!?” Naruto stuttered a bit at her claim, but was slightly prepared for that anyway. “Ahaha.. I’m sorry. Had something to do just now.” “Something to do? Something my ass! Now get moving somewhere!” The lady replied with such rudeness, but Naruto tried his best not to be offended. Smiling, he led the way to the dance floor, hoping the small dancing lesson would pay off.

While they danced, the lady kept on murmuring, and reading her lips, Naruto could guess that she was swearing him for something. “Eh.. so.. how have you been lately?” “Been hellish. People around me had been an idiot for all the times I’ve looked at them.” She wasn’t mad, but the answer still stabbed Naruto through his heart. “Damn, she’s a hater.” Naruto suddenly chuckled at the thought, rising the lady’s awareness. “You laughing at me? Jerk!” She pushed Naruto away, something he couldn’t understand. “Period?” Naruto chuckled again, but he knew he shouldn’t. Chasing over the girl, Naruto kept trying to make it up to her by apologizing and stuffs, but she kept ignoring him.

“Geez, I’m sorry..” The lady ignored his apology again, this time rushing away from him. Naruto knew he was wrong, and so he would try his best to fix his mistake. Naruto held her by her hand, trying to stop her, but it pissed her off. “What the hell are you doing!? Get off me, blonde idi-“ “Stop calling me that!!” Naruto snapped, angry at whoever dared to insult his hair color, something he inherited from his parents.

Silence filled the two’s surroundings. Luckily they were separated from the crowds, so the shout Naruto let out couldn’t be heard. “Where are your manners!? Your parents didn’t teach you?” “My parents are dead!!” This time the lady snapped, and it was Naruto’s turn to get shouted at. Naruto held her gently by her hands after, smiling. “Tell me.. how hard it is to live without parents? I’ve never even had the chance to spend my infanthood with my parents, so I don’t know.” The lady’s anger seemed to fade away, now turning into guilt. “I-I’m sorry..” Naruto shook his head, a sign of ‘it’s okay’ kind of thing.

Naruto and the lady exchanged stories, now completely separated from the ball. Turned out that her name was Celestia, an indeed, nice name. They started to get closer that night, the story exchanges made both of them feel better. “So.. Celestia, promise me. Promise to behave better next time, okay?” Naruto and the lady made a pinky promise, and originally he had planned to leave the ball and the lady earlier. But they were having so much good time, Naruto finally planned to spend the night with her at the end, minding for the reward the day after.
