Chapter 4: Spiritual Bond by a Kiss
"W-What business?"
Erica stamred as she covered herself in defense, saying,
"I'm not interested in anything like this."
The only thought that ca to her mind at the mont was,
'Is he…trying to do sothing indecent with ?'
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
With a puzzled expression, Ary tilted his head and added:
"Don't get wrong, I have sothing important to discuss with you."
Then, he opened the book of Almita, that he was grabbing in his right hand, saying,
"Almita, acknowledge your existence."
"Ding!"
As expected, the book of Almita started floating in the sky.
"What?! Th-The book is flying?!"
Erica was left flabbergasted after glimpsing that the book of Almita started floating in the mid-air.
Also, this ti, Erica didn't get affected by the ti pause.
"Erica, listen."
Ary called out.
"Hmm?"
Erica reacted as her gaze shifted to Ary.
"Don't get surprised. Let explain it to you."
Ary comnted as he started explaining about the warrior race and the demon king that he learned from Galiriothoxmus.
"So…will you help out by being my partner?"
After explaining, Ary asked. He didn't use 'Affectionate Diva,' since he thought of using it when Erica denied helping him.
Tap!
He grabbed the book of Almita and waited for Erica's response.
"...."
Erica was left solemn for a while after hearing Ary's explanation.
'Do I need to use the Affectionate Diva now?'
Ary pondered while gazing at Erica.
"Ummm, Ary."
Erica called out.
"Yes?"
Ary reacted while fixing his gaze on her for her response.
Erica raised her gaze and while looking at Ary straight in his eyes, she replied,
"If you agree to protect …then, I agree to be your partner."
"....?!"
Ary didn't expect her to agree that easily. But since she had already agreed, Ary smiled and extended his right hand, saying,
"As your wish. I, Ary Inochi, assure you that I'll protect you even if it costs my life."
"I don't want your life in return, silly."
Erica giggled, then grabbed his hand, adding:
"But I believe you. After all, you're my best friend, don't you?"
"Mhm."
Ary smiled at her.
They had known each other for more than two years. They used to talk a lot and usually had lunch together in their first and second years of high school, but when they graduated in the third year, Erica beca the student council president, and due to her overwork, they started eting less and less.
"By the way…"
Ary called out, asking,
"Would it be fine if I ask…"
Then, his gaze shifted to Erica's maid outfit, and he asked,
"Why are you working here? I an, no offense. But aren't you supposed to be busy with the work of the student council?"
"Yes, you're right. But you see,"
Erica replied as she rested her back against the wall, saying,
"I'm already alone. My parents are abroad for work. To afford my living, I have to work here part-ti."
"Hmm? I know that they're abroad, but don't they send so of their earnings to you?"
While lifting his right eyebrow, Ary asked.
"Ah, they do. But I usually used that paynt for the bills from the council. You know, the budget of the club groups is increasing day by day."
"I see."
Ary nodded.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, Almita made a dinging sound, and started floating in the mid-air again, reporting,
Almita reported.
"And…how to create it?"
Ary asked.
"Eh?!"
Both were left stupefied after hearing this.
"K-K-K-Kiss with the tongue, you say?"
Erica blushed while lowering her gaze.
Almita confird.
"I-Is there no other way?"
Ary asked.
Suddenly, Almita called out, adding:
