Chapter 19: I will be with you together forever
Chapter 19: I will be with you together forever
"H-How did you find out?"
Ary asked. He realised that playing dumb would be useless, and that was why he asked without any act.
"Now that's good to see that you're not acting now."
Erica giggled, then she snapped her right-hand fingers and her system appeared beside them.
"Wha?! Do you have a system?"
Ary asked in an astonished voice after seeing that she had a system, since he didn't know much about her ability.
"Yes,"
Erica replied, then whispered in Ary's ear, saying,
"Now, look closely."
"Gulp!"
Due to apprehension, Ary gulped down the saliva in his mouth and looked at her system.
The system started showing a video of the whole incident that happened.
---
After seeing that video, Ary acknowledged, saying,
"But it was you who did that, not me. I'm not guilty."
After seeing Ary's nervousness, Erica giggled,
"Hihihihi. Of course, you're not guilty. However,"
then she said in a smoky voice,
"Ain't you said you would love me?"
"Huh?! How did you-?!"
Ary said, then he halted and later asked,
"Wait, did you watch this on your system? But when?"
"No, I heard it when you confessed it yesterday."
Erica clarified.
After all, she was awake back then.
But it was a little surprising to learn that she actually planned to reveal everything to him.
"Huh...? So you were awake back then?"
Ary asked.
For some unknown reason, he started to feel slightly embarrassed.
"Yup,"
Erica replied in a proud tone.
"Hah..."
Ary sighed, then a smile formed on his face. He turned to her and asked,
"So, would you be my girlfriend?"
He was feeling slightly nervous about asking, but he did it since he got confirmation that she was in love with him.
Erica, on the contrary, lowered her gaze after hearing this, and replied,
"I'm glad to see that you've asked me. However,"
"Y-Yeah?"
Ary's nervousness increased when Erica added, "However," to her statement.
Then, with a cold face, she glanced at him and avowed,
"I don't want to be your girlfriend."
"Wha...?!"
After hearing her remorseless statement, Ary was left flabbergasted and asked,
"But... why...?"
***
"Hmm? Selina? What's wrong?"
Galiriothoxmus, who had just got out of his room, asked as he saw Selina walking here and there while mumbling,
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"Ah! Lord Galiriothoxmus?!"
Selina reacted as she saw Galiriothoxmus.
"Hmm? You look so nervous. Did something happen?"
Galiriothoxmus asked with concern for her after seeing her nervous.
"Um, well, it's... umm..."
She stammered. She didn't know how to explain it clearly.
"Calm down. Take a deep breath and explain what happened."
Galiriothoxmus advised.
"O-Okay."
Selina replied, then as per his instruction, she took a deep breath and said,
"Actually, Warrior Ary was doing something indecent with her partner Erica."
Selina finally clarified the reason behind her nervousness, and just by hearing those statements, Galiriothoxmus's face lit up with thrilling emotions as he reacted,
"Ohoho~ well well. Ary was faster than I expected."
Then, while stepping forward in a heroic style, he remarked,
"Let an expert like me have a look."
***
"But why? Didn't you say that you loved me when you were sleeping yesterday? Was that a lie?"
Ary inquired after getting rejected by her.
"No, I wasn't lying."
Erica replied, still looking down.
Her statement was confusing to Ary. She said she loved him but didn't want to be his girlfriend. Then, what was she up to?
"What are you trying to say?"
Ary, who was completely perplexed, asked.
A mischievous smile formed on Erica's face as she grabbed Ary's collar and yanked it toward her, and in the next moment, their lips touched.
While Ary was left stunned after seeing his second kiss gone as well, on the other hand, Erica closed her eyes in relaxation.
Muah!
A sound was made when their lips were lifted.
"W-W-Wha...?"
Ary, who was perplexed and didn't understand what and why she was doing, got comforted when Erica declared.
"To be honest, being your girlfriend is boring."
"Huh?"
Ary responded.
"That's why..."
Erica called out as she licked her lips and proclaimed,
"You're going to marry me in the future!"
And with a dilated eyes expression, Ary was left stunned after hearing this.
"But..."
Ary's expression changed to solemn. He asked,
"Are you sure about what you are saying?"
He also loved her but wasn't certain whether Erica would be able to be happy with him since he was alone without any relatives to speak to.
"Yeah."
Erica replied in a dedicated tone and then gently embraced him, saying,
"I'm not like other girls who think of you as an odd one since you're an orphan. Neither my parents nor I would mind this. I love you and that's all I need to be with you together forever."
"...?!"
Ary's eyes got dilated in surprise after hearing this. No one considered him equal to others. In his middle school, he was only praised because he was a genius. Some of his old colleagues used to tease him by calling him an orphan or an odd fella.
But after seeing someone who cared about him, not about his family background, his eyes got wet with tears.
He embraced her back while holding back his tears. There were tears in his eyes, but they wouldn't flow out of them.
Erica smiled as Ary embraced her, and then she asked,
"So, would you still think that we won't be able to be happy together?"
After hearing her testimony, Ary shook his head and replied,
"Nah, I believe we can."
Erica smiled a little more after hearing this and complained,
"But I'm still not happy about what happened before."
"Eh?"
Ary responded as he realised what she was talking about.
"If you want, you can control me, but you want to enjoy it. That's why you let me suck your boner."
Erica complained, trying to show that she was angry.
"Ah, um, I'm sorry. I can do anything to make up for this."
Ary avowed.
"Hmm? Anything?"
Erica asked as her furious face started to shape a mischievous smile.
"Yeah."
Ary replied, still feeling guilty.
After getting confirmation, Erica leaned closer to his face and requested,
"Then, kiss me one more time and I'll forgive you."
"Huh? Kiss you?"
Ary repeated.
"Yeah, do it now before I change my mind."
Erica commanded.
"A-A-Okay."
Ary stammered, then gently wrapped his left arm around her back and the right one around her neck and asked,
"Um, would you close your eyes first?"
"Ah, I want to see you doing it. Hah, well, I'm closing it then."
Erica replied, then closed her eyes.
Ary closed his eyes as well and moved forward his face toward her, and soon enough, their lips touched one another, but gently this time.
---
After a few seconds, he lifted his lips. Both open their eyes while looking at each other with a little smile. Then, again, they came closer and were about to go for another kiss.
*Chirp*
"Hmm? Oh my my~"
Suddenly, the mechanical door slid aside, and Galiriothoxmus saw them about to kiss.
"Ah!"
They both reacted and stepped back from each other.
Just by glimpsing it, Galiriothoxmus was left thrilled and said,
"Go on, go on. Let's make good memories."
And while dancing, he stepped toward them, suggesting,
"Give each other a romantic kiss, fellas. Like, "Swooch~~" or maybe like an Earthly French kiss."
After hearing those statements, both Ary and Erica were embarrassed a little and called out,
"You... you."
"Hmm? What's up?"
Galiriothoxmus asked as he listened to their words clearly.
But in the next moment, both Ary and Erica screamed,
"You perverted deity!!!"
and together launched a powerful punch at Galiriothoxmus's egg face,
"GWUAKH??!!"
With an utter cry, Galiriothoxmus fell out of the room, and his oval face was cracked with a golden coloured fluid coming out of it.
"Lord Galiriothoxmus!"
Selina called out in worry after seeing him lying on the ground with his cracked face.
"Ah?!"
Lady Selene, who had just arrived there, was shocked after glimpsing this, then she sighed while placing her right palm over her face, saying,
"Hah...He never changes, will he?"
While Ary just remembered something.
"Hey, I totally forgot about this."
Ary said.
"Hmm? What?"
Erica asked.
Ary glanced at Erica and said,
"Today is the training day for us. We'd better hurry up or else we'll be late."
"Training day?"
Erica repeated, then she sighed and mentioned,
"Hah...isn't it too early?"
"Well, it won't be a problem. We'll level up after training. Isn't it good?"
Ary remarked since he was so excited about training.
"Hah... fine."
While placing her right palm over her forehead, Erica sighed.
Then they got off the futon, and Ary said, with a dedicated voice,
"Let's do our best!"
"Hmm. Sure."
Erica replied with a smile.
And thus the day of the training finally started.
