Boys Meet Girls

Erin: “Because I was so scared, and I also feel sorry about my cowardice. I also realize that from now on, what I want is not conquering a dungeon. At the moment, I take this opportunity to really think about my own life.”

Her eyes do not show any hesitation. She must have put a lot of thought before she came with this conclusion. Ultimately, her purpose to join the Arrivers was not clear. She joined the Arrivers because she was desperate. If this is the case, then I have to respect her decision. Moreover, it would be wrong for her to stay with half-assed feeling.

Note: “Isn’t this fine? If this is something that Erin has decided.”

Erin: “Although I only wish a little bit to stop…”

Note: “What do you mean by that…”

Erin: “That’s due to my troublesome maiden feelings.”

Note: “That’s troublesome.”

Erin: “Then, what about Note?”

Erin peers into my eyes while tilting her upper body towards me.

-Asking what I’m going to do…

I have decided what I’m going to do, and there are no other options for me.

Note: “Of course, I will continue to explore the dungeon. I have decided to conquer the dungeon. From now on, that would be my goal.”

Erin: “I see…I was thinking to lead a peaceful life somewhere else together with Note. “

Erin fells on her back on the bed.

Erin: “I thought it would be good to become a couple with you, and then we will lead a peaceful life without any relation with monsters. Eventually, we might also enjoy a blissful married life. “

Note: “That’s certainly not a bad option.”

Erin: “But, you decide to conquer the dungeon, right?”

Note: “Yes.”

Erin contracts her mouth due to my reply.

Erin: “Are you going to abandon me?

Note: “I’m not abandoning you.”

Erin: “But you do prioritize conquering the dungeon over me, right?”

Note: “Perhaps.”

Erin: “Stop denying it.”

A kick comes to my stomach. But it was a gentle kick. It more like a playful skinship. Therefore, I let the force of the kick to push me back on the bed. Now, I am laying down by Erin’s side.

Note: “While I continue exploring the dungeon, Erin can live peacefully in Purtih town. What do you think? Then we can go on a lot of dates during my break.”

Erin: “What’s that. I don’t want a husband who might die anytime at the dungeon. In the end, I will be like a widow. Isn’t that lonely.”

My proposal which requires me a lot of courage to propose is flatly refused by Erin.

I mean, somehow in between, to come into conclusion about marriage and dying……I feel disheartened and restless inside my heart. Then, Erin starts to speak again.

Erin: “Then, I will also continue to explore the dungeon.”

Note: “Eee…Didn’t you say that you will stop?”

Erin: “It was only a talk if Note decides to stop diving into the dungeon. If Note does not quit Arrivers, then I won’t too.”

Note: “What’s that…? You should have thought about your own prospect properly without being swayed by others. “

Erin: “It’s not like that. I have been thinking it through properly. I told you before. Exploring the dungeon is not what I want. But, if Note chooses to continue, then diving into the dungeon now has a meaning for me. “

Note: “What do you mean by that?”

Erin: “What I want is you, Note. What will happened if you die because you bring another magician other than me to that dangerous place. There is no other genius magician than me. “

Note: “But when we were stuck at the 20^th floor, you were hopeless.”

Erin: “That’s a talk for the future. From now on I will get even better. I will study a lot about magic, and become a magician that you can depend on. I will show it to you, Note. “

Note: “Then, I’m looking forward to it. “

While laying on the bed, I roll my body over. Then, Erin seems to do the same. She turns her body to face me, so we are currently facing each other. Her face is really close to the point that I can feel her soft breath.

Erin: “Do you want to continue ‘that one’ from before?”

Erin smiles with her teeth is showing.

I decided to pretend being cool and said, “What do you mean by ‘that one’ before?”

Erin: “That. That one.”

Note: “What is ‘that’?

Erin: “That is that. The one that you occasionally said that we are going to do.”

Note: “Is this about the kiss?”

Erin: “Yes. We can also go beyond that.”

Erin closes both of her eyes. Her pale pink lips are closing quietly. While my eyes are being glued on her lovely appearance, I hold her delicate shoulder with my hand.

At that moment, while our faces are getting closer……

“Wait a moment! How come the two of you become so close!”

BANG! The door is knocked open violently with a loud sound. I feel like jumping out due to being surprised by the loud noise.

Note: “Uo?!”

Erin: “Wha, what?!”

Both me and Erin are making some weird noises after being flustered.

Rosalia suddenly barges in into the room.

Rosalia: “When I was thinking to visit Note who has come back in his room to do some skinship……How come there is some romantic atmosphere between the two of you!? You were about to kiss, weren’t you!?”

OH NO! I usually invoke <<Search Enemy>> art on all the time so that I would be able to sense someone’s presence right away. But, since I just safely got away from the dungeon, I feel extremely relax and moreover, I also feel too excited now with the new development of my relationship with Erin, so I’m completely distracted from being alert.

If I’m not mistaken, this happened in the past as well. When I was on a date with Rosalia, I did not sense Erin’s presence at all until she approached us. This art is really useless. Well, maybe I’m a guy who is easily led by the nose and completely tuned out from my surrounding. Perhaps, this is my weakness.

“Erin-san, stop seducing Note-kun!” said Rosalia while pointing her finger on Erin.

Who would imagine that the day would come when Rosalia scolds other people not to ‘seduce’ a man. I wish she would put her hand on her chest and look back into her past.

Erin: “I’m not seducing Note. This is consensual, right, Note?”

Aaa, I feel like they are going to bring me up into their fight………

Frankly speaking, I don’t want to be pushed into it.

Rosalia’s affection to me was supposed to be fake, right?

Then why she looks really mad? Is this some kind of trick?

There are a lot of things that I don’t understand.

For the time being, it’s embarrassing if a party member gets to know that I was really going to kiss Erin. Let’s just playing dumb.

Note: “I’m sorry…I’ve just wake up. I feel sleepy so I don’t understand what is going on…”

Erin: ‘T,Traitor!!”

Rosalia: “ Note-kun……I had been staying in front of the door, so I saw everything. Isn’t that just a sloppy excuse…Just give up now…”

Well, she caught me, huh……

I’m also surprised at my poor excuse. As I am scratching my head and being overwhelmed with uncomfortable feelings, I anxiously gaze into Erin’s eyes. When I look at her, I can see her eyes trembling really hard. In the beginning, I was planning to apologize to her afterward when we are alone, but seeing her shaken like this makes me feel really sorry for her.

Let’s just be honest here.

Note: “I’m sorry………I lied……Yes, as you said before, I, Note Athlon, was going to kiss Erin Fortlord here. ……”

It’s really embarrassing when I put it into words!

It’s even more embarrassing to confess that it was a failed attempt!

At least, I actually wanted to say that we did the deed!
