Chapter 116 - A Good Girl? (2/2)

She doesn't know whether or not her interactions with Rhys is misleading. But Lyn knew one thing for sure, these types of feelings; she only has it when she is around Kazuya. Only around him, it is only when she is with him that her chest hurts like this.

Beth said nothing for a while, and Lyn thought she blabbed too much when Beth muttered something about being similar and then roared, ”You heard her, Kazuya.”

Eh? Lyn spun around and was immediately pulled into a warm pair of arms, ”K—Kazuya?” she said in disbelief.

”Rhys is in the usual place; you can interrupt him.”

”Sweet, I'll go.”

Wait, wait, wait? But before Lyn could ask Beth anything, the girl was already walking away, leaving her alone with Kazuya. Fully aware that she was still buried in his arms, Lyn quickly backed away, but Kazuya grabbed hold of her wrist.

”Are you trying to avoid me?”

”I'm not, we...we've patched things up now,” Lyn looked down at her feet.

Kazuya nodded, ”Yeah, we heard everything I had to say. But I never heard your thoughts, that's why I asked Beth to bait you.”

So that thing with Beth acting like a good role model recently was a trick? Ahhh, ”I want to crawl into a hole,” Lyn said embarrassed. How embarrassing, she completely misunderstood Beth.

Kazuya laughed, ”Relax, you're right about Beth. She isn't a bad person, not an ideal role model. But she's a good girl.”

'A good girl,' Lyn repeated in her head. From time to time, Lyn wondered if it was okay for her to like Kazuya. Kazuya, does he like 'good girls' better? Does he prefer them? He always uses that word to describe people, so at the start, Lyn didn't think much of it. But she became more conscious as time went by, and it became worse when they started dating.

”Am I not a good girl Kazuya?”

Kazuya smiled softly, ”You're a good girl Lyn, but you're different from all the others.”

Is she different? She doesn't understand that. But more importantly, Kazuya thinks she's a good girl? Vivid images appeared in her head. 'How can I be a good girl, when I've dirtied my hands already?' It's faint, but she recalled it all too well. Her eldest brother's training methods, even though they are related. He never held back with her.

It was only for a short while, but she did missions for her brother. He said it was to test her powers. Lyn understood what he meant by that. Eldest brother didn't want her to end up as a test subject, that's why he personally 'tested,' her. How can she be the good girl Kazuya has in mind when her hands are stained with blood already?

Lyn hugged him tightly, ”Woah, what's wrong, Lyn?”

She doesn't want him to find out.

She can't let him find out.

If Kazuya finds out, he would definitely hate her.
