Is This a New Kind of Pickup Line...?

Penelope was already drunk, but a sudden sadness washed over her when she saw the kind smile that remained on Heinrich's face as she spoke of guilt.

Because Penelope had felt guilty too, even though she knew what had happened was not her fault. She feels guilty. After all, she used to feel that the war happened because she made trouble with Celine Diamond...

But she realized that was not true.

If Heinrich felt guilty too and it forced him to become a good person who only wanted to serve the peace of this world... wouldn't that be too cruel?

Penelope cried until she was satisfied. Her head was now resting on Heinrich's chest, and although she was still sobbing, she was no longer crying.

And because Heinrich was silently drowned in deep thoughts about everything she had said, he didn't notice as Penelope's body slowly leaned more and more against his and nearly fell over.

CRASH!

"Miss Zircon!" Heinrich couldn't catch her body in time.
