After their arrival in the kingdom, Shin and Irene separated to prepare each of them.

Irene had run away with excitement, which made her really beautiful and cute.​​

At the sight of the direction Irene was heading, Shin could guess that Irene was heading towards the shopping and commercial streets, probably to buy clothes or something else.

Shin didn't care any more than that, because he already had to choose for himself and since he had never been on a date, he didn't know what to wear.

Especially since the customs of dress were different from those of the Earth and he had to adapt.

He hurried back to the palace to return to his room.

He had about 3 hours to prepare what should be enough.

*PAM*

Slamming the door behind him, he went to sit at the end of his bed.

"What should I wear?" Shin wondered.

"A suit? No, too formal and I doubt it's a normal outfit for this place."

Shin continued to try to dig his head but after a good half hour, he still had no idea and finally went home in a simple outfit.

The "system"

Shin asked the system to respond to his wishes, but received it a few seconds later.

That's what I call fast service.

He had basic white sneakers, plain black shorts with small straps on both sides, a white t-shirt with a green flame pattern and a small black jacket that was quite light.

Well yes, it was the summer season, so the temperature outside was quite high.

So Shin thought that a nice summer outfit like this was the right thing to wear.

It was not flashy and not too modern, perfect to fit the codes of the Fairy Tail era.

This outfit gave Shin a cooler, more casual side to his usual outfit that could seem a little more noble.

A little hour of preparation later and in the meantime, Shin was prepared for his appointment although nervous.

He was hoping to make a good impression, not ruin everything and have a good day.

With a nervous step, Shin arrived at the exit of the palace.

When he arrived a few meters from the exit, his eyes were averted and drawn to his left.

In front of him was surely the most beautiful scene and the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

Real or fictitious confusion.

In front of him, a few meters against the wall, was Irene, with her head down, waiting with a staggering impatience in her eyes and a fairy-tale smile.

Her clothes were simple, a one-piece white dress that went down to her knees and beautiful brown sandals.

There were no decorations, jewelry or beads to go with it, only a simple, ordinary white dress.

Her long scarlet hair reached her waist, loose and free as the wind, spreading over her shoulders and back, releasing a soft and delicate image.

Shin's mind had become empty and his attention was focused only on Irene, all around him had disappeared and only she was left to support his world.

All that remained was this face and his whole being, which was even more illusory than a dream.

No light helped him or presented itself as if he was covered with shame in relation to this celestial one who supported the colors and beauty of the world.

Irene, who was against the wall, slipped her hair behind her ear, adding a fatal charm.

Then she realized the motionless presence on the side.

Moving her gaze, she fell on the appearance and the person for whom she was dressed like this.

When she saw him in his entirety, her heart began to beat in a frantic and frantic race.

She could only blush at the sight of Shin in a casual outfit like this, it was the first time she had seen him like this and it didn't look so bad on her.

What's more, Shin's face and expression only made her blush even more.

For several minutes the two of them were standing and did not move a finger while he was lost in their thoughts and remained stoic looking at the other.

Shin was the first to come to his senses and when he saw Irene in the same state as he was, he decided to call out to her to get her out of it.

"Are you ready?" asked a thoughtful Shin.

"Yes," Irene nodded.

Then both smiling and in a good mood leave for the city to enjoy their day together.

First, they walked around the city a little randomly while chatting until a very specific and known smell of Shin passed in front of his nose.

*Sniff* *Sniff* *Sniff*

Shin couldn't help but sniff the air discreetly to capture the attractive and appetizing smell.

Unfortunately, his discretion was not very good as his action was captured by Irene who was looking at him confused.

"Sorry, I smelled the smell of the skewers," replied Shin who was scratching her head embarrassed by his action.

Irene laughed softly when she saw Shin's embarrassed face but was happy that he was relaxed enough and not too serious.

"So let's go eat some," Irene said gently.

"Are you sure?" Shin asked, surprised by Irene's answer.

"Of course I'm sure."

"Thank you," replied Shin with a smile, acting like a child who knew he was going to eat his favorite food.

When Irene and Shin went to the kebab stand, Shin asked for 4, 2 each, and chatted with the granny who ran the stand.

Since he was at Dragnof, he used to go to this booth a lot and it became a habit so he and the grandmother became kind of friends.

Irene had been surprised at the familiarity with which he was talking to the grandmother.

She was happy to see that Shin was gentle and kind to the locals and was not an arrogant ȧsshole who took advantage of his identity.

The grandmother gave the skewers to Shin who thanked her.

"Thank you obaa-san"

"You're welcome, you two are cute together, you make a lovely couple."

Irene and Shin couldn't help but blush at the grandmother's remark.

They looked at each other and quickly turned away because of the embarrassment.

Shin explained to the grandmother that they were not a couple while Irene repeated the same thing in her head.

'She said that we made a cute couple' She was holding her face with both hands while she imagined a lot of things with Shin and smiled stupidly.

After explaining, they went on their way and landed in a small park on a bench to enjoy their spicy and flavored kebab.

"You really like this skewer" added Irene amused to see how quiet Shin was to enjoy his skewer and his face blossomed.

"Hehe, it's the first food I've eaten in a long time so I was seduced right away."

"Where were you before that so you couldn't eat food?" asked Irene curious about her past and daily life as a mythical beast.

Good hours passed during which Shin and Irene discussed Shin's past.

Shin explained everything about his life in the forest so far, omitting only his reincarnation.

"It was you who had destroyed the mountain?! And that roar and that green streak in the sky was also you?" Irene expressed her shock at the revelation.

It is true that since she had met Shin, she had no longer considered the subject of the destroyed mountain or the roar.

She had hypothesized that it must have been the result of a fight between fairly powerful dragons and that the roar was perhaps a roar of pain, hence the strange sound.

She had only taken precautions by increasing the surveillance around the kingdom and warning the soldiers and dragons to be on their guard.

"Yes I destroyed the mountain but I did not do it on purpose. The roar was also mine and as for the green trail in the sky, I guess it must have been me in my Phoenix form," Shin explained, recalling past events.

"Your Phoenix form? I'd like to see it" Irene expressed her dėsɨrė with stars in her eyes as she looked at Shin with great envy.

"Of course, I'll show it to you tonight," Shin replied amused.

"Good," said Irene excited as a child and looking forward to tonight.

The date continued without any problems, after chatting they went back to the commercial streets and went to do the activity that Shin feared the most.

The stores.

Luckily for him, Irene was not a woman who was robbing the clothes so they didn't stay there very long, just the time Irene bought a couple of clothes.

In the evening, they ate in a rather cheerful restaurant where they were recognized but nobody bothered them.

They were grateful to the citizens for that.

In fact, they were placed in a single room where no one could disturb them.

The meal went very well, it was accompanied by smiles and laughter, a good moment that was successful and appreciated by both sides.

A dessert was a must, then they left the restaurant and went out into a street.

commercial in the night lit by magic street lamps giving a good atmosphere.

A few minutes of quiet walk, they arrived at the palace, the guards greeted them and then they went back to their room.

As the good man that he is, Shin of course accompanied Irene to her room first.

Both of them were standing in front of the door of the room without really knowing what to say.

"It was a great day, I really loved it."

Irene spoke first to praise the day that was the most beautiful and best day of her life.

"It's true, for me too," Shin replied with a sincere and satisfied smile.

Shin suddenly remembered Irene's request to him at the park.

"You wanted to see my Phoenix shape, didn't you?"

"Can I see your Phoenix shape?"

Both were surprised as they asked their questions at the same time which made them laugh.

"But I can't do it in the hallway, it's too small"

"Come to my balcony, there should be enough room"

Irene followed by opening the door to her room with a strange feeling knowing that another person was about to enter her room and a man on top of that.

But knowing it was Shin, she was light-hearted in knowing that he would not do anything against her will.

On Shin's side, his heart was beating faster and faster as he entered Irene's room.

And as he walked completely inside, his nose was ɨmprėġnȧtėd with the fragrant smell of Irene that he liked so much.

Of course, like any normal man, Shin had perverse thoughts but rejected them in the back of his mind.

He wouldn't do anything to Irene without her consent.

Shin followed Irene who opened her French window to her balcony.

On the balcony, Irene turned around to look at Shin with a visible expectation.

Shin smiled and then moved to the edge of the balcony.

"Ready?" Shin asked.

"Irene nodded her head several times to express her excitement.

Shin's body began to flare up in green flames that grew larger and larger.

Her silhouette in the flames began to change and then the flames grew at once to give way to a huge bird-shaped silhouette.

The flames disappeared, Irene was finally able to see Shin.

Irene's eyes widened in astonishment when she saw him.

She couldn't say anything, she was obsessed by Shin's appearance, her eyes were glassy as you could see Shin's reflection in them.

The flames came out of his body to dance around him, his feathers shone in the moonlight and at night as the moon intensified his mystical and splendid side.

"So beautiful" These were the only words Irene could come out facing the stage in front of her.

She unconsciously reached out her hand to Shin who noticed it and approached to hang her claws on the balustrades.

Shin tilted his head to allow Irene to touch him.

"So soft"

When touching her feathers, Irene felt a sensation so soft, silky and the flames did not burn her, on the contrary it gave her a feeling of comfort, affectionate.

Feelings that she only felt with Shin, which proved that it was him.

Shin also appreciated this moment and Irene's soft and caring touch.

The scene of the two was really beautiful, worthy of a painting.

Spending this moment with vanity, they parted after a while and then Shin returned to his human form hidden by the dancing flames.

Returning to his human form, he landed directly in front of Irene, their faces a few inches apart.

The two of them blushed madly as their eyes became greedy of each other.

Without hesitation, they both pushed their lips together, initiating their first kiss.

The kiss was not violent but thoughtful and they all slipped their love into it.

They were all releasing what they had been holding on to for all those months.

After a few minutes of kissing, they both parted, panting heavily after holding their breath.

Forehead to forehead, they both looked at each other with envy.

One look was enough to understand what they wanted.

"Are you sure?" Shin asked to make sure she was ready.

"Yes," Irene replied in a low, embarrassed voice that made Shin even more excited.

Shin smiled and gently took Irene in his arms to go into the room and consummate their first time together.
