Casper frowned. He gazed at Felix, then said deliberately, “Felix, have you ever met this girl that Remy is pursuing?”

“I’ve seen her only once, but from afar. Remy was pointing her out to me and bragging that he would surely win her heart,” Felix replied.

Casper nodded resignedly. “I guess our questions will have to wait until Remy gets back from class.”

When Remy burst excitedly into the room, he was greeted by the sight of Casper and Felix’s expectant faces as they sat on chairs facing the door.

Remy’s eyes darted nervously from Casper to Felix. “Hey… Casper, Felix, what are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Despite his momentary apprehension, however, Remy was evidently in high spirits. When Casper and Felix did not reply, he hummed under his breath and turned to the mirror beside the door, fixing his hair.

Felix blinked, then whispered in a low voice, “Did you see that? Remy’s paying attention to his looks now! That girl has truly bewitched him.”

Casper sat staring ahead stonily. He had planned to speak but was reluctant to dampen Remy’s good mood.

Remy disappeared into his room to change, then raced out to present himself to his friends. “How does this look? Do I look good in these clothes?” He demanded feverishly.

Evading the question altogether, Casper inquired, “Remy, are you planning to go out on a date?”

“That’s right! I’m taking my goddess out on a date today!” Remy exclaimed.

Casper looked at Remy gravely, then said in with a tone of disappointment, “Hey, when did you get yourself a goddess? Why didn’t you introduce her to us? I didn’t take you to be the sort that would forsake your friends once you found a girlfriend!”
