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-a.s.sed 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 skins.h.i.+p . 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 20th 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 fl.u.s.tered .

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 skins.h.i.+p……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

> 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 relations.h.i.+p 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 embarra.s.sing 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 embarra.s.sing when I put it into words!

It’s even more embarra.s.sing to confess that it was a failed attempt!

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