Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 79

Outside...

"This is him?"
"Yes"
"... Great job"
"Thanks!"
"Thank you, master"
"Abyss"
*underground dark creatures appear and eat the demon*
"Let's go back now"
*nod*
*woosh*

...

"Blackie"
"Sis!"
"You're back? What about the Queen?"
"She went back to the castle"
"I see"
"Blackie!"
"... Eluma? Where's Monica?"
"I gave her the... medicine that you gave me, and she fell asleep."
"Great"

It's not a medicine, it's a Nightmare potion. While sleeping for 1 week, she'll dream about her worst fears.

"So, what do we have to do?"
"You can take a break"
"Eh?!"
"But-!"
"Your job is over here. Leave the rest to me"

Now Monica's gone for a week and the Queen left after getting humiliated. For Yamel and the others-

"Blackie"
"Hm?"
"Eum... Well..."
"?"
"... Would you give me the honor to be your partner in the next dance?"
"!"
"Hey! I wanted to dance with sis another time-"
"Alright"
"!"
"Sis-!"
"Luka, why don't you go and eat? You were quite hungry, weren't you?"
"..."
"What are you waiting for?"
*sigh* "I'll go"
*smile* *turn* "Let's go"
*nod*
*dance*
"... Blackie"
"Hm?"
"Thanks for accepting my request"
*nod* *smile*
"!"

I want to hug her.

*glance* "Eluma, look on the side"
"?" *glance*
*glare~*
"!"
"Look at their faces. It's so satisfying."
"Yeah, it indeed is"
"I have to say, I got to see so many beautiful sights"
"... Same here"

The most beautiful one is right in front of me.

"Thank you"
"Huh? For what?"
"For asking me for a dance. I'm glad you got this amazing idea"
"... Eh?"
"You asked me to make them angry, right?"
"!"

Does she really think I asked her to dance because of them?

"I asked you because I wanted a dance with the person I like. I never even thought of them."
"!" *lean*
"Blackie?!"
"Let me stay like this for a little bit"
"O, okay"
*reddens*

Saying that he loves me so casually, as if it is nothing. I was so taken by the others that I did not see that coming-

"Blackie"
"..."
"Blackie, can you lift your head-"
*lift* *slightly blushing*
"!"
"Happy now?"
*chuckle* *hug*
"!" *blush*

Her blushing face is so cute! I want to see it again.

*glance* *gasp*
*glare*

Luka looks way too angry! I have to stop Eluma now, but... I don't want to... I, I mean, it's impolite of me to push him... right? Plus, we're supposed to be together, so it's not a problem!

*through telepathy*
"Luka, please don't do anything"
"SIS! HOW DARE HE HUG YOU!"
"... We're in a fake relationship, so there is no problem. In fact... it was quite helpful"
"Huh? What do you mean?!"
"Look at Yamel and the others. They're really angry. So please let it go this time, okay?"
"... Okay"

"Blackie, can I do something?"
"?"
*lift*
"!"
*place*
"Hey, that surprised me-!"
"Look on the side"
"?" *glance*
"They're burning of jealousy, aren't they?"
*smirk* "Indeed. This is really satisfying"
"Yeah"
"Thanks for helping me out"
*nod*

I have to say, this is by far the best banquet ever. I guess it's enough for today.

*music changes*
"It was a pleasure to dance with you, M'Lady" *kiss the back of her hand*
"The pleasure is all mine" *glance*
*glare*
*smirk*
