“No, you fucking bastard?”
Perhaps because I hit the nail on the head.
Elsie-senpai immediately lowered her stance and began to show hostility toward me. If she had a tail, it would have been stiffly raised in warning—that kind of momentum.
However, the woman’s anger didn’t lead to violence.
Not long after, Elsie-senpai let out a snort of laughter and completely released her tension.
The girl said with a sneer.
“What about you?”
It was a short retort, but there was no question that pierced my heart more sharply.
I unwittingly felt indignant and tried to utter a rebuttal.
“I, what…!”
“You got dumped too? Seeing that this body is still yours to claim.”
It was futile.
In the end, after mumbling for a while, I had no choice but to let out a deep sigh.
She was right.
I had failed to persuade Elsie-senpai. Whether it was an illusion summoned by my subconscious or truly the personality of my fiancée who had fled deep into her heart, I didn’t know.
The fact that I was essentially chased out remained unchanged.
Soon, my expression became as gloomy as the sky during the rainy season. Elsie-senpai was no exception, so the place where we two stood began to exude the unique dreary atmosphere of a jilted man and woman.
It was a fight full of wounds.
Moreover, there was one more person contributing to the heavy air.
“I-I can do it… I can do it, I can do it… I can d-do, hic!”
At that small groan, my gaze and Elsie-senpai’s turned simultaneously toward somewhere.
There stood Cien, who had been muttering to herself on the bed with a clearly tense face. The beads of cold sweat and her eyes shaking without direction indirectly revealed her feelings.
In the end, she even bit her tongue slightly.
It was a scene reminiscent of Seria from the past. Cien wiped her eyes a couple of times with her sleeve, as if in pain enough to bring tears.
Elsie-senpai’s impression upon seeing this was simple.
A sigh-like laugh escaping with a “ha.”
“Can that be used in actual combat? She screams ‘spoiled princess’ too much.”
“She has experienced real combat once before….”
“Was she like that then too?”
Instead of answering, I exercised my right to remain silent.
The princess’s only real combat…
