Chapter 28. Confession

The sun was already down, making the day's end. 

And with it, we ended our regular hunt though we didn't find any demons. And after it, both of us are sitting down, chowing down the meal at my inn.

As expected, the atmosphere was a bit weird. And why wouldn't it be?

I asked her to massage my dick, and she somehow agreed to it only to get caught by the old inn owner in the middle of it.

Let alone her, I am also embarrassed to death. And in the end, her intervention destroyed the mood and after that slap, she left running all the way out.

You know, I mustered a lot of courage to ask her.

Do you think a person like me who never has a girlfriend would ask such a thing to a woman on the spot?!

'All of it went to waste.'

For the first time, I asked for something perverted from a woman and was about to succeed but…

At the moment, all of my anger is just towards my bad luck and the old inn owner. I know I shouldn't blame her but what else can I do?

'And such luck, that we didn't find even a single demon after all that search.'

I wanted to vent my anger by killing a few demons but that also is in vain. 

'Sigh! Am I going to die as a virgin again?'

No! I can't be discouraged. This time I have two fiancées and a new woman who almost became my mistress. With this pace, I might even get more women.

'Just because my luck is bad, it doesn't matter that I have to die as a virgin.'

That's right. Be optimistic, Kurt. 

Refreshing myself, I started to talk with the intention to break this awkwardness between us.

'What should I talk about?'

I tried to search all over the brain, and couldn't find a single topic to start with. Damn! What should I ask her?

And then I remembered the gossip between the hunters, that someone picked up on Miria again.

"Miria, I heard that someone picked up on you again?"

I always praise Miria's beauty, and it's not exaggerating as you think. She is really a beauty hard to find.

And such a beauty is working as a demon hunter, who would miss such a chance? The fact she works as a demon hunter, means that she is poor and commoner.

And hunters, merchants and other people come to her, with the intention to covet her only to fail because of her nature.

Some even get forceful, but I doubt anyone could win against her. She isn't one of the top hunters in the association for nothing.

And now thinking of such a woman was about to massage my dick made the hormones ignite, giving me a certain amount of superiority but this isn't the right time to think about that.

I coughed a bit dispersing all the perverted thoughts and looked at her to get the answer. Even though there was still a bit of embarrassment in her face because of the accident, she didn't run and replied back.

"There was one, being too forceful with me."

"What!"

'How can someone try to be forceful with her?'

You know, even before I knew it, the sense of superiority - the fact that I am more close to her than the rest turned into a kind of possessiveness.

Subconsciously, it turned into a fact that Miria is reserved for me, Kurt.

I don't know if Kurt's original personality was affecting me, but I didn't find it as a hindrance.

After all, I came all this way to Bluesphere Empire to get her. And I would do anything to protect her, it's normal.

"Who is that? Tell me and I will take care of him!"

I stood up and shouted aloud, making too much of a commotion which attracted the gazes of the customers.

"Why are you so hyper about it?! Sit down, you are attracting too much attention, Kurt."

Her words made my rationality come back and after finding myself being the center of attraction, I quickly shy away and sat down with embarrassment.

"Sorry, it was just…"

What should I say? I stood and shouted because of sudden anger but now I can't find words to say.

'In times like this, I should rely on my instinct.'

And I let the romantic one inside me take over. With so much experience of watching romance anime, I should be able to deal with it.

"…I am worried about you."

"Worried?"

Her eyes widened a bit, and there was a softness in her eyes.

And I knew that I had chosen the correct line. Then what is there to wait!

'If I keep pressing like this, then this might be the day I can get her.'

It was not a fleeting feeling, but more of an instinctive announcement coming from my soul.

And I started the words, heartfelt words to win her heart.

"Yes. We have known each other for more than a year and you know we are kind of partners. And I have also promised you parents to take care of you for life."

"I-Idiot, that was just a fake promise you made as an acting boyfriend."

"Fake? You know I didn't promise them thinking of it as fake."

I leaned down, moving down to her ears and said with a soft voice. 

"I don't mind taking care of you for your whole life, Miria."

Blush!

Even Miria knows that I am confessing to her. Her face went red, and her eyes became whirls in confusion and embarrassment.

"So what do you say? Do you want to be with me, Miria?"

Her lips were trembling, and her eyes were closed after my confession. Her heartbeat skyrocketed.

And I knew that I had it in my grasp. Tell me, tell me Miria that you agree!

A smile of victory was plastered in my face, and my heart was throbbing hard knowing the final answer.

"Y-Ye—"

"Miria!"

And before she could reply back, a shout interrupted us. 

'Damn! Who the fuc— Wait, isn't she a friend of Miria?'

I remember her, the one being injured during the calamity demon incident and later on quitted the demon hunting.

Her eyes were wet, and her dress was dirty and from her heavy breaths it was clear that she came here in a hurry.

What is this bad sign?

"What happened?"

"M-Miria… Miria's house is burning!"
