When I had the notion that it might be due to the Saint’s Robe, I told Clarice..
"I'll try not to hurt you too much but can I have you take off your robe?”
Clarice looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and then blushed.
"Hey! W-what are you saying!? Here!? I don't want to do it here..."
Oh, I definitely said it the wrong way...... this is definitely a s*xual harassment case.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just wondering if perhaps the robe prevented Clarice from taking damage or being electrocuted. By no means, I was talking about the other meaning.”
"Ah!...... the phrasing please."
Saying that, Clarice took off her Saint’s Robe. I became strangely conscious of the rustling sound of her robe because of our earlier conversation... I tried my best to break my worldly desires, and as calmly as I could, I said...
"I'm going to start, I’ll be as gentle as possible…not. I’ll make sure it won’t hurt...no. Anyway! I’ll try my best to not hurt you but it's my first time and I'm still having trouble adjusting the magic power so if it hurts at all, let me know."
I feel like no matter what I say anymore, it will only be taken to the other kind of meaning.
However, Clarice seemed to understand the meaning so..
"I trust you, Mars. It's my first time too, so make it painless and do it gently."
She replied to me in a teasing tone.
