Chapter 41 - #41 Frightened Little Kitten (2/2)

”Zzz...ah...not there, hihi.” Mez was snoring in my tent while muttering some nonsense with flushed cheeks.

”Ehm!” I cleared my throat aloud which should be enough for someone like Mez to wake up.

”Oh? Akashi-? Eek!” Mez rubbed her sleepy eyes looked towards me just to see me standing near her and glaring at her with my body full of wounds.

”What the hell? Why is your body full of wounds? Did I overslept the entire battle with rebels?!” She started to panic and horrified expression appeared on her face once she thought that she missed the opportunity to fight.

”Calm down, it's still night and I am wounded because I was having a spar, nothing serious. But what I am curious about is...why are you sleeping in my tent? Where is Suzuka?” I explained with stern expression

”Oh? I see...I tied her up in her tent so she couldn't cause any trouble. I had to tie her really tightly because of her special body manipulation.” Mez replied with a smile but didn't show any sign of leaving my bed.

”Alright but you still haven't answered my other question. What are you doing in my tent?” I asked with a weird expression.

”Tehee” She started to scratch back of her head with an embarrassed smile.

”You see! I wanted to ask you something but when I noticed that you aren't here, I decided to wait for you and guard your things so no one would steal them~” She immediately pointed at me with her index finger while looking at me with a serious expression.

”...Yeah...no one stole them, instead it seems that they ate them.” I muttered while looking at the empty bag lying on the nightstand previously filled with my mini cookies.

”*Whistle* *Whistle*” She put her hands behind her head and started to whistle while looking away.

I simply glared at her and waited until she stops.

”...Fine! I might have noticed them innocently lying there and I might have taken a few” She finally surrendered said with puppy eyes.

”A few?” I asked once again with a weird expression because that bag was packed with those cookies and that bag isn't exactly small.

”A little more?” She closed her right eye and stuck out her tongue.

”Don't be mad, I will repay you for it.” Mez replied with a surprised expression when she heard my words but she missed the point. I wasn't kicking her out because I was mad.

”I am not mad, I just want to go sleep and recover from my wounds.” I said with a helpless smile.

”Oh! Alright!” Mez got up from my bed and gestured me to lie down which I did but something was bothering me...

”Why are you still here?” I turned my head at Mez who was standing next to my bed, observing me.

”Since you are injured, I am guarding you, hehe” She replied with a big ”innocent” smile.

”I won't fall asleep if you will keep standing next to my bed like that...” I replied with a forced smile but even I was slowly losing my patience.

”I see, that's the problem. So will it be alright if I lie down next to you?” She leaned forward right above me with a bright smile.

Hearing her words, a small vein appeared on my forehead, indicating that my patience ran out.

This girl...she is all flirty but just judging from her childish behavior, it's obvious that she is inexperienced in those things!

I wanted to just kick her out but if I won't teach her a lesson, she will keep trying to tease me.

She most likely isn't aware of my age but even then she should know when to stop.

Thankfully, spending time with Raksaya taught me a few things about women so I am sure that she is just acting. Let's teach her a little lesson.

”Well if you want, come here!” I said and caught her hand, pulling her on my bed. I climbed up on top of her to immobilize her.

”Huh?” Her green eyes opened wide. She definitely looked surprised by my sudden initiative.

I raised her chin with the help of my hand and then brought my face closer to hers. Our mouths were so close that it would take only a small movement forward for us to kiss. Yet despite such a chance, she was unable to move her head up to meet my lips which only made my smirk wider.

'Is this what I think it is? I know that I was trying hard to make him take some bold actions but...I am not sure I am prepared for this...' Mez thought with her wide-open green eyes that were constantly shaking as she was looking straight into Akashi's red eyes.

---

I could feel her breathing getting faster and faster, I could even hear her rapidly beating heart.

I brought my face next to her to whisper something right into her ear.

”W-What is it?” She asked with a frightened tone when she noticed this.

”*You look completely different in bed compared to when you are in the battle. You look like a frightened little kitten but that only makes you cuter~*” I whispered right into her ear and let my lips touch her ear for a moment.

She immediately shivered when she felt my touch together with my words and closed her eyes.

I finally sat up and looked at her with a satisfied smirk.

”You can go, now.” I got up from her and told her while adjusting my clothes that I was slowly taking off while I was on top of her.

”...W-What?” She finally opened her eyes when she heard me and her face became immediately fully red even redder than before.

”You didn't hear me? I said that you can go...” I said with a confused expression, acting as if nothing happened a few seconds before.

...Her face indicated that she was frightened but I expected her to fight back a little...I guess she wasn't fully against it, she is just too inexperienced.
