Chapter 37 - #37 Taking "responsibility" (2/2)
---
”Mez, help me!” Suzuka shouted at Mez which greatly surprised her since she probably planned to just watch a good show.
When I heard this, I glared at Mez.
”? *Whistle* *Whistle*” She started to whistle and began to ignore both of us.
”Are you planning to let her do whatever she wants?” I asked question directed at Mez.
”Well, it's fun, we don't get to see such sight in Kouken temple, haha. But don't worry, if she will catch you, I will stop her from going too far!” She showed my thumb up together with closed eyes and a big smile, revealing her white teeth.

'I will knock her out and take her place at that time, so be careful!' Mez thought and licked her lips.

”Tch, Akashi! Be a man and take responsibility!” Suzuka shouted at me.
You fuċkɨnġ idiots, even though I look at 15 years old, I am still 12!!
I thought but at that time, a good idea hit me.
”Heh, take responsibility? Alright, Suzuka, come to me, I will make you feel really good!” I said with a wide crazy smile while cracking my knuckles.
Suzuka immediately responded to my words by jumping on me once again.
”Just a friendly reminder, I have no problem beating up a nȧkėd woman!” I shouted and instead of evading her, I jumped forward to meet her head-on with a crazy smile.

After less than 3 minutes passed by.
”That was really...innovative way how to 'take responsibility'.” Mez said with a forced smile while looking at nȧkėd Suzuka who was lying on the ground fully covered in bruises but instead of having pained expression, she looked like she had her best pŀėȧsurė in her life.
She was fidgeting on the ground while muttering something on regular intervals.
”Much...better...than those...bandits. And he just used his...bare hands...I can't even imagine him using a weapon, hehe!” Suzuka muttered with a creepy laugh.
Hearing this, both I and Mez looked at each other with forced smiles.
After Suzuka recovered from her ”moment” we could finally move out. Thankfully, we left those corpses on the road, it should slow down Esdeath's army for long enough.
We once again joined the main road and continued our journey. When the sun started falling down, we decided to rejoin with Esdeath since we had no idea where they want to create camp.
When we rejoined, Esdeath just scolded us for not clearing the road of those corpses but nothing much, meaning that she wasn't aware of us slacking off.
”Wait, what's up with you?” Esdeath asked Suzuka who was smiling all the time without any pause.
”Eh, she is still happy from being able to fight with those bandits...” I said with a forced smile and closed eyes.
Esdeath narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything else so I and Mez quickly dragged Suzuka away from Esdeath.
That Suzuka is all trouble, hopefully, she will let me be after what I have done to her. And if not then I just have to do the same thing, we won't be together for a long time and she won't be able to follow me back to the Capital. Everything should be fine.
I thought while dragging Suzuka to her tent that soldiers set up for us.
