"Heh heh~"
Paimon giggled and then turned to fly to Paimon's side.
"Hmph... I can't believe I'd experience such mortification... my heroic reputation! (t^t)"
"Alright, alright~ Is it really mortifying just to express your love for me in the street? What you said, was it all lies then?" Lumine ruffled Ying's hair and comforted her.
"Wuwu... it's not lies... but just thinking about what I said in the street makes me so embarrassed. Were there many people watching me then? (╥﹏╥)"
"Don't worry~ It was already very late, there weren't many people on the road."
"Really? (இдஇ;)"
"Really, really, don't you trust me yet?"
Looking at Lumine's gentle eyes, Ying's heart settled down a lot.
"I... I trust you..."
"Mhm, be good~ Come with sister to get the perfume, don't worry if passersby saw you, they don't know you anyway. And don't worry that I'll hate you for seeing your other side, because that's impossible (^～^)"
(Yeah... it's just getting drunk and acting up. And what's wrong with showing them my love for Lumine? It's a good way to declare my territory... Even if Lumine was just telling a white lie for me... then so be it, mortified or not!)
"Oh my~ I didn't expect the host to be so strong-willed. If it were me, I'd find a hole to crawl into."
Seeing Ying's spirit return to its usual liveliness, Paimon couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Hmph~ Of course, who do you think I am? The protagonist of this world~ (￣へ￣)"
Ying proudly lifted her little head.
"Protagonist? If you're the protagonist, does that make me the male lead? ๑乛v乛๑"
"Uh... but you're a girl..." (Ah, I accidentally blurted it out in front of Lumine... Good thing she didn't dwell on it... Σ(|||▽|||))
"Hmph hmph~ Who says girls can't be male leads? I'm going to break that boundary~"
"e
"e
"Oh? Quite clever. But... I'm actually not too worried about others finding out about us. After all, I never intended to hide it (^_^)"
"Ah, what do you mean... Σ(|||▽|||)"
"I mean, I'm perfectly fine with bullying you in the street. I just don't know if you can handle it~ (^～^)"
"Huh? Huh?!! Lumine, you're this kind of person?! I misjudged you! ≥﹏≤"
"Hmph hmph~ So, what are you going to do? Are you mad at me?"
"No way... I know I was wrong. Can I apologize to you? owo"
"Mmm hmm... then tell me what you did wrong?"
"Eh?! That's not right, shouldn't you forgive me?!"
"Say it, or else..."
"I'll say it! I'll say it..." (Shouldn't the protagonist be saying this kind of thing... Why can she be the male lead and say the protagonist's lines too... (t^t))
"Sigh... I... I shouldn't have said that just now..."
"Good that you know~ Anything else?"
"Anything else?! Uh... I... I shouldn't have drunk?"
"Mhm~ That's my good Ying." Lumine gently flicked Ying's forehead with her finger and said with a smile.
"Phew~ Can we go out now? Paimon and the others should be here soon."
"Mhm... Give me another kiss before we go~ After all, I accompanied you running for so long, I definitely need some spiritual compensation~ (^～^)"
"Eh?! I was running too, you know... Sigh... just one kiss!"
Seeing Lumine's longing gaze, Ying could only reluctantly compromise, tilting her little head to meet Lumine's lips and giving her a firm peck.
"Mu... a~ Is that good?"
"Mhm mhm! Hee hee~ Let's go~" Lumine happily pulled Ying out of the alley... kΑnshu伍.ξà
(Sigh... she acts like the protagonist at times like this... If I didn't know Lumine turns into a hungry wolf at night, I might actually believe I've successfully turned her into an obedient little darling...)
"Huh? Haven't they opened yet?" Ying asked, looking at the closed door in front of them with some confusion.
"No way... it's not that late, is it..."
"Hehehe~ You don't think it's late? I've been waiting for you inside the house all along."
As the two of them were wondering, Ying'er opened the closed door and walked out from inside.
"Eh? You've been waiting for us? Then why didn't you open the door?" Ying immediately asked curiously.
"Mhm~ Actually, I didn't want to open it so early. But who could have imagined, I could clearly hear your voices, but you never came to knock. And your voices even ran from the doorway into the nearby alley... Sigh~ Can you blame me?"
"Uh... you mean... you heard our entire conversation just now?! Σ(|||▽|||)"
