Volume 5 Chapter 6 Something's Trembling, But...
The scene changes to a night inn. Kyunei had a sign around her neck saying, "I'm peeking at my friends' date," and she was sitting on the floor.
Her sitting position was unique, with legs folded, knees together, and sitting on her heels. It seemed to be a sitting style from Mikage's hometown, where the calves touch the floor.
"Um... Mikage, this position is really uncomfortable."
"What's wrong with it?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Kyunei, with a strained face, asked for help, but Mikage, emitting an intimidating aura, dismisses her with a "rumble" sound from behind.
"Ugh, why me too?"
Next to Kyunei, Aina was also sitting formally with a gloomy expression. Hanging from her neck was a sign that read, "I couldn't stop peeking at my friends."
"I feel very sorry to make Aina-sama do this..."
"If that's the case――"
"However, we will settle this matter firmly."
"Oh, okay."
Regardless of the opponent's former nobility, Mikage showed no mercy. Despite her polite tone, Aina was overwhelmed by Mikage's unstoppable force and continued to sit properly.
Right now, without a doubt, Mikage reigns at the top of this group. She was quietly fuming with anger to such an extent.
Perhaps Mikage enjoyed our date as much as I did. Or maybe she's more angry about the interruption to our date than being spied on.
Kyunei mentioned that she was curious about our situation since she had instigated it. Aina also shared the blame for not strongly stopping Kyunei, even though she knew it wasn't right.
Even though I felt sorry for Kyunei and Aina, I hesitated to interfere considering Mikage's feelings.
I want to make it clear that it wasn't because Mikage scared me. Please do not misunderstand that part.
'In this world, no one can stand against an angry woman.'
Gram's words made me feel like I had suddenly reached enlightenment and I almost nodded in agreement.
However, upon reflecting, I realized there were points where I should have done better.
'Lately, you have been a bit out of control when it comes to Kyunei and the others, partner.'
"Ouch..."
Gram's words, which seemed to sense my inner thoughts, stung me.
He was referring to how I dealt with the duo who had been bothering Kyunei and Aina.
When I blasted the bandit boss with Balmung, and even recently, I've been overly sensitive to various events involving lovers.
The same goes for that pair.
There was no need to suddenly throw them from behind. I should have just grabbed their shoulder to stop them, and if they persisted, then I could have silenced them with a throw from behind.
'Ah, in the end, nothing changes with throwing from behind.'
I understand this in my head. Kyunei and Aina are not weak beings who are only being protected by me. Even against mediocre thugs, they have the strength to deal with them easily.
However, I can't help but lose my patience when I see men approaching them. I need to learn some self-control soon, or things might turn into a troublesome situation.
