Chapter 60
“It’s been a while, Asagi . Miss Daniela . ”
Well, this was awkward .
Wrath . Her expression was wrath itself . It was one of the seven deadly sins, and she let it flow through her as she stood menacingly in front of us . She was shorter than me, and yet somehow I felt like I was looking up towards her . Was it because I was ashamed of something? I couldn’t be…There was no way .
“Yes, it’s been a while, Miss Fiona . ”
“You sound a little stiff?”
“Sorry, I’m not the best talker . ”
“Ignoring that unfortunate flaw, why are you two stuck together?”
Her voice was no different from how it always was . But there were hidden barbs behind every word…or not . If anything, they were very visible and turned me into a pin cushion . Even Daniela, who was stubborn and fearless now slowly removed herself from my arm .
“We will borrow the drawing room for a minute . ”
“A minute, what? What are you going to do?”
“Come on, let us go . ”
“Hey, wait a minute, aaahh…”
Fiona grabbed my empty arm and pulled me towards the back of the guild house . I couldn’t even make her let go . Was she using magic?
Daniela was holding my other hand . I nearly stumbled as I was being pulled forward, but when I looked behind me, it wasn’t the shy Daniela that was there . It was Master Daniela, her stern face showed that she was prepared for battle . If she had this resolve…well, I needed to follow suit . Though, I had not expect such a scene right before going on a new adventure .
The three of us entered the drawing room . Fiona sat in front of us . Daniela was sitting next to me with her back straight . The leather sofa was pretty comfortable, I have to say . Though it did make your back feel damp That’s what I don’t like about leather . I wasn’t even sweating but my back was getting wet .
“So?”
Fiona’s seemed composed now as she looked at me, then at Daniela, and then me again . Her eyes were demanding that she be given an explanation .
“Um, it’s a long story but…”
“There is no need for that . ”
Daniela cut me off .
Then she took me by the chin and turned my head . The kiss was almost violent .
“Fff . . mmm…”
“Whwha…!”
My m.u.f.fled moans, Fiona’s shock, and Daniela’s breathing echoed in the room .
“…nnmmm…hahhh…”
When our mouths finally parted, Daniela’s hot breath blew on my lips, and her gla.s.s-like eyes stared into mine . Then she wrapped an arm around my neck, pulled me closer and unleashed a declaration of victory over Fiona .
“This our relationship now . Perhaps we should have told you sooner, Fiona . ”
“…ggg!!”
“…ggg!!”
Fiona’s face was red, and it wasn’t from embarra.s.sment . She glared at me sharply . I gently put a hand on Daniela’s thin, graceful arm and lowered it .
“I know it would have been more proper for me to tell you directly… I shouldn’t rely on Daniela so much . But your glare was just so intimidating . ”
“Asagi…”
“I’m sorry . I love Daniela . Even if you say that you want me, I would choose Daniela . ”
Fiona’s eyes moved back and forth between us . Then she took in a deep breath and sighed .
