「You bitch! I knew it was going to be like that! Astaroth-sama and you too! Girls always just use me when they need something, when I finally get to reap the benefits, they just cry and freeze up! You retard, dumbass! I didn’t like you from the first time I met you! Hurry up and leave me here! I don’t need anyone!」
While my lips were spewing out curses, something soft gently pressed on them.
Snow used her own lips to take mine.
Her face reddened while I still couldn’t move or talk.
「I’m sorry, I hope you can forgive me… with this for now…」
She said that to me while I was still unable to say anything because of the sudden development.
「I don’t particularly hate the fact that you… that you like me… Even when you said that you wanted to make love to me, if I were to say I wasn’t happy, it’d be a lie… But right now, I still don’t really know whether I like or dislike you. However…」
While Snow’s pale skin became hotter,
「I don’t dislike you as much as when I first met you. I don’t really know right now… But from now on, I’m going to give more thoughts about you…」
She put on a gentle smile.
………?
「What are you going on about? How did it end up with me liking you? That’s pretty scary.」
……
「…Huh?」
「Don’t ‘huh?’ me, I’m asking how you came to the conclusion that I like you. I don’t remember ever saying that I liked you.」
After hearing that, Snow looked like she couldn’t understand what I was saying.
「…Uh, I mean, you said you wanted to share a bed with me…」
「That’s only because I like your face and body. What I meant was to do it once with no strings attached. Don’t make me say it, it’s embarrassing. More importantly, I would never go out with someone like you that has a temper problem. You’re easily angered and once that happens you start swinging that sword around violently. On top of your greed for success, you’re just as greedy for money. Just what about you would I like? Also, you just tried to get away from this with just a kiss…」
Once I said that much, I suddenly realized what was happening.
「Haaah… Aaaahh… Aaaaahhhhh…」
Snow’s face became bright red and her eyes were brimming with tears. She was inhaling slowly.
It was as if she was gathering something.
She looked like a kid that was about to cry a river and release all her pent up emotions.
Snow’s trembling hand started reaching for the sword on her waist.
「…Calm down, let’s talk. So, I can’t move right now, you know? If you try to cut me down, I’ll really die, you know?」
「Haaaah… Aaaaaaahhh… Aaaaahhhhhhh…」
Snow, after hearing what I said, should know what would happen if she released her pent up anger. As if she was trying to contain it, her body was trembling all over.
But slowly, very slowly, her hand came closer and closer to the handle of the sword…
「Please restrain yourself, Snow. I was in the wrong as well. I said too much. But, if you kill me after making me work so hard, it’ll leave a bitter aftertaste in your mouth, you know? Alright, you’re someone with a lot of patience! Someone that can do it if she tries! Exhale slowly, and calmly start counting prime numbers.」
「O-one… Three… F-Five… Se-se-se-seven……」
{The cooldown period has now ended. You may now use the battle suit’s functions.}
As I was running away with all I had, Snow chased me while crying.
「Uuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!」
While listening to Snow’s shouting that sounded like she was crying,
For the sake of escaping the berserker that was closing in,
「Limiter release! Limiter release-!!」
I started shouting at the top of my lungs— — —
