"So, Sing-kun is going to compete in a duel competition?

"I don't know what to do. I don't know yet."

Sakya asked me when Claude and his surroundings left that he was a [Noah's Ark] submaster.

If you think about it, Sakya didn't talk about it at all earlier.

If you know someone, you can talk about it for a little while.

"What about that Claude guy from Sakya?

In the meantime, I put Sakya's inquiry on hold and explored my relationship with Claude.

It's not hard to imagine how much relationships would be changing while I'm gone.

But it's my first ear that a man was coming to Sakuya, and I'm a little concerned.

I guess that means I have a sense of being Sakuya's boyfriend, too.

"Come on, I don't know. Sure, he talked to me a lot, but I always ignored him."

"Really?

"Yeah. 'Cause you were obviously looking at me as a woman. I don't want to be seen and touched like that by any man other than Sing-kun, so I've been running around talking about nothing."

"Heh, heh."

Sakuya is a boulder.

So you're not in any contact with a man other than me?

I never even talked to Yumi about having the same party once, and that area is really thorough.

"This way Sing-kun wouldn't even worry about me cheating, would he? I'm going to stay with you forever."

"Well, I'm glad to hear you're not cheating."

Now I can't think of Sakya sticking with other guys anymore.

So if Sakya cheats on me, I might cry.

So even though her consideration is too much, it gives me peace of mind.

"... will I refrain from making contact with other girls in the future?"

I can even say Sakuya's pathological behavior was reconfirmed. I said so thinking I should fit her.

"Oh, but Shin-kun doesn't have to worry about me like that. I'm the only one who doesn't talk to men other than Sing-kun."

"No, but..."

"And besides... if Shin-kun likes other girls... even if he likes Phil or Mr. Claire... because I don't care..."

…………

I shut my mouth when I heard Sakya say it.

I don't care if you like other girls.

i.e. I guess Sakya says she doesn't care if I cheat.

Maybe Sakya thinks I might have some kind of emotion for acting with the Phils for a long time.

Sakya knows Phil and Claire are saying they like me, and there's no guarantee I won't waver at them like that.

But Sakya says he will forgive it.

But...

"... Sakya. I'm dating you right now. That's why I don't look at girls other than you."

"So, but..."

"But you're not. I don't want to make a harem."

Hi, Sakya. There's a verse that's weird and cares too much for me.

I usually eat private parts of people fine, but they barely say a word about what I do.

I'm glad that means you respect my will with that, but it would be inappropriate in a case like this one.

"I mean, I'm either pure love. So I just want to keep liking Sakuya. Is that bad for you?

"! Yeah! Not at all! Rather, it's a great pleasure for me!

"Oh well. Then I won't cheat."

Sakya is not that I don't think anything with my eyes on other girls.

You're just hiding your heart from me, and you wouldn't have thought it so well inside.

When I returned from Meermill to Wolds, Sakya seemed upset to see Phil didn't hide what he cared about me, but that was probably what Sakya meant.

Besides, that was back when Phil and Claire were the only ones who could get into the party, given my level.

Although there is still quite a difference in level between me and Sakuya, I can say that it is a reasonably critical and acceptable difference.

But back then, Sakya decided she couldn't party with me, and she would have had a very teethy feeling.

I think that's why Sakuya had such an attitude, thinking that my relationship with Phil and I might have progressed without him.

Then it wouldn't be a good idea for me to be too sweet for Sakuya.

Because I don't want to be your boyfriend who's sweet with her favors and hurts her.

"One, I mean, Shin-kun only loves me......"?

"Oh, yeah, well, that's the thing"

I'm embarrassed to say I love you, but I nodded back at Sakya's confirmation.

"Wow, I wouldn't be mad at you for doing anything with the other girls if Sing-kun would remember to love me too?

"But you don't think Sakuya himself would like that, do you?

"Ugh, yeah... well... maybe..."

I don't know why, but I think Sakuya is as monopolistic as I am.

Then I guess I should be solemn about making contact with other girls.

"I told the Minas in the morning, but I'll tell Phil and Claire the next time I see them, too. Sakuya and I are dating."

"Shin-kun..."

Sakya loosened her cheeks when she heard my words, and she held my hand softly.

"Nice to see you again, Sing-kun"

"Nice to meet you, Sakya"

And we got our fingers tangled.

I guess I'm already Zokon to Sakya, who thinks I'm just happy to hold hands this way.

"... oh, good thing I came up with"

"? What did you come up with?

"Sakuya. This is about if I compete in the next tournament that opens, can I get a reward if I win there?

"Reward?

"Yes."

I hold Sakya's hand, while I bear to be embarrassed and bored, and I mouth that line.

"If I win, I want the Goddess of Victory to talk."

"Ku, ku, ku, mouth? One, one, I mean...?

"... I'm saying I want to kiss Sakuya"

Don't make me say it, stupid Yarrow. I'm about to keep saying it, but here I stare into Sakya's eyes to push seriousness forward.

... As soon as I said something, I got so embarrassed.

You're gonna be okay, right?

They didn't pull you off, did they?

You don't think that's creepy, do you?

I'm getting a little nervous.

"... can't you?

"No!? No, no, no, not at all!? Not at all!? Rather good!

"... well"

Good.

Apparently they haven't pulled it off.

Well, I didn't think Mr. Sakuya the boulder would ever pull a dong here.

"Or you can do it now! I'm always ready!

"That's normal, then, isn't it? I want to kiss Sakuya and make it a good memory."

Even if we kiss normally here, that will keep us as sweet and sour memories.

But I wonder if it's quite romantic to get a kiss on that reward for winning some kind of tournament.

"Heh... well, yes... Sin Kun wants to kiss me like that... heh..."

…………

Sakya's Zhu stained face is nibbling and has an atmosphere that seems to agree with me.

Is this guy happy to be so far just making plans to kiss him?

Well, I'm excited inside too.

"Yes, fine. If Sing-kun wants you to, I'll do it for you."

"Oh well. Thank you, Sakuya."

"Yeah, welcome..."

…………

Somehow, looking into Sakya's eyes, the image of a hungry beast finding prey and licking her tongue came to my mind.

Though I said a reward for me for winning, I guess it feels like "it's rather my reward" for Sakya.

They're going to eat me as soon as I win something.

Kissing just stops, doesn't it? It's all right, isn't it?

"Oh, uh... Speaking of which, what did Claude just mean by" mechanical doll "? That's like Sakuya's nickname, isn't it?

I swayed that topic to change the story even as I got Sakuya's hot gaze.

This is what I was wondering about earlier.

Mina's "Meteor" doesn't seem to have a bad meaning, but I think it's Sakuya's nickname "Machine Doll" is my "Build Error" with a negative meaning as well.

"That's not a big reason. Just because my magic was accurate when I shot him in the 30 tiers of the underground labyrinth, Laid Boss."

"That, is it?

"Yeah. And that's what they called me because I was always shooting magic without a look on my face."

"Hmmm......"

Speaking of which, if it's in front of me, it's not, but Sakuya's basically faceless.

Would it be nicknamed after shooting the exact magic of the work while remaining faceless?

Then don't worry.

I was worried Sakya might be bullied while I was gone, but apparently that didn't happen either.

Well, Mina and I were together around here, so we didn't have to worry about it.

We finished snack time talking about that, and then we went on a date that was just a hit.

Honestly, I sometimes wondered if it was a good idea to have such an unplanned date, but at the end of the date, Sakuya had a full grin and said, "I had so much fun today!" It must have been good because he said so.

I had a lot of fun.

And we went back to Wolls Fountain that night and logged out, took a little medical exam and went to bed after dinner and a bath.

The next day is Saturday, so the next Monday we go to Earth is two days later.

There's a duel on Monday, so let's just say I ask Dr. Hayakawa if I can join in on that, too.

With that in mind, I closed my eyes in bed and fell asleep to keep my strength warm for the mandatory class "Physical Education" on Saturday.
