“I know it’s only hypothetical, but…”
If such a situation were to occur, Reina knew that she wouldn’t be able to sleep properly, with tears and a runny nose keeping her up for several nights.
“Yeah… So, as painful as it is, I should definitely push Elijah away.”
It was a matter of courtesy to her lover, who she had promised a monogamous relationship with.
“…I should make plans to meet up with Elijah soon.”
She was contemplating this task assigned to her. When Reina entered the Palace of the Thirteenth Moon, which was granted to her by the emperor rather than the townhouse, she was greeted by a familiar fragrance.
“Huh? This scent…”
As she was slowly extending her voice, the sweet fruit scent and that distinct, meandering tone surrounded her.
“Reina~”
“Paul?!!”
At the end of her gaze, she saw her childhood friend sitting at an outdoor table.
“PAUL!!!”
When was the last time she saw Paul? Almost half a year ago!
Smiling almost uncontrollably, she got up from her seat upon seeing her childhood friend and ran straight to him, forgetting about decorum.
“Reina, you must’ve missed me a lot.”
She wanted to act nonchalant, but it’s as if she had suffered through the hardships of living in a foreign land and was delighted to be back home with her family.
“Yeah!! Uwahhhh! I missed you!”
Overflowing with affection, joy, and a little bit of sulking and sobbing, Reina didn’t hold back.
“You little punk! You’ve been ignoring me all this time because of that stupid mission! Not answering calls… Not getting in touch…!! Uwahhh…! I’m your closest friend, for crying out loud!”
“Nuh-uh. I’m the person closest to you, remember?”
“Whatever! Huhu, uwahhhh…! Is this seriously how you should treat your best friend? Huh?”
She was really sulking, so with a very thin layer of magic on her fist, Reina punched his chest.
But what was going on.
“Ah, ugh, it, it hurts. It seriously hurts, Reina.”
Normally, he should have greeted her with laughter, acting like a person with a screw loose like he’d been hit with an electric shock.
Even his usually unwrinkled forehead was deeply furrowed.
“…Huh? What’s wrong? Why is your reaction like this? Did you hurt yourself somewhere?”
Panicked, the woman stopped punching and firmly grabbed his collar. At that moment, his long fingers wrapped around her wrist and gingerly got her hands off him.
“By the way, Reina, you’ve become quite famous, haven’t you?”
Casually steering the conversation, Paul held onto her shoulders and guided her to sit in a chair.
“Hey… stop changing the subject. Why did you react that way just now?”
Reina’s expression became serious as she approached, trying to examine his chest. However, Paul covered her mouth with both hands and let out a playful sound.
“Reina, have you had such feelings for me all this time? I always felt that the way you look at me is different.”
“No, it’s not…”
“Maybe you wanted to see my chest that badly, Reina. I had no idea.”
“No, it’s not what I—”
“I’ll show you anything you want. Where do you want to see? My chest? My butt? Or maybe—”
Cutting the crazy rush of words right there, Reina eventually jutted a thumb to point at the chairs where they could sit. She could feel a headache coming already.
“Huu… Fine. Let’s just sit down and stop the nonsense.”
“Tch, but Reina, you said you wanted to see my naked body first.”
“I didn’t even say that… Ah, forget it. Stop messing around and just sit down.”
Under her command, he finally sat down, pouting. He brought up a new topic and stroked his chin.
“By the way, our little bug is a saintess now, huh? Who would have thought Reina had such an ability?”
Indeed. Frankly, Reina herself wasn’t expecting it.
While she was hiding some abilities of her own, she never dreamed she had the power at the level of a god’s descent.
“It just happened to turn out that way…”
As Reina trailed off, she glanced at the source of the recent minor disturbance—Paul’s chest.
‘He’s definitely trying to change the subject.’
It was nagging at her, so she tried to bring up the topic again. But Paul was a step ahead of her.
“By the way, earlier, why did you…”
“Reina, it seems like you’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you.”
Paul swiftly shifted the conversation, causing Reina to blink in surprise.
“Me? You think I’ve lost weight?”
“Yeah.”
“No way.”
“Well, you used to look like a baby pig, and now you look like a baby pig that’s skinny. You also look even uglier now since the last time we saw each other, don’t you think?”
“……”
This guy.
No matter how she looked at it, it’s obvious that he was trying to change the subject. Well, she could play his little game.
“My hungry spiraea.”
“Eh? Hungry spiraea?”
“You missed being nagged by me during the time we were apart, didn’t you?”
“Hehe.”
“You’re laughing?”
“I look cute when I laugh.”
When he reacted as usual, Reina forgot the earlier commotion swung her fist.
Paul quickly caught her hand though. As if he were protecting a hurt part of himself.
“…You—”
Sensing that something was amiss, Reina frowned. But Paul hastily continued.
“Reina, I’m hungry.”
