Hunted by Characters I Drew!!

"Let me go! I need to find Ais-tan! Move aside!"

Loki flailed desperately, but the Amazon sisters held her firmly, preventing her from escaping. Just then, Ais walked in through the door, clutching a tablet.

"I'm back. Uh… what's going on here?"

Ais glanced curiously at the tangled trio in front of her. "Since when did you three get along so well?" she asked, tilting her head slightly. She couldn't recall a time when Loki and the Amazons were this close.

At her arrival, the room fell silent for a moment before Loki darted toward her like a missile.

"Ais-tan, you're back! Did anyone take advantage of you?!"

Hearing Loki's frantic question, Ais suddenly recalled Alexander's hand guiding hers as he showed her how to use the tablet. Her cheeks flushed pink at the memory, and her heart raced.

Brush!

A vivid blush spread across Ais's face. Loki froze for a moment, then gasped dramatically, her imagination running wild.

"She's blushing! A girl like Ais blushing? There's only one explanation for this!" Loki wailed.

"It's over… It's all over! My sweet Ais-tan has been corrupted! And it's all my fault!" she cried as she threw herself to the floor in despair.

Loki attempted to cling to Ais, but the swordswoman nimbly sidestepped her, exasperated.

"Loki, stop making things up. There's nothing going on between me and Alexander," Ais said firmly, though the blush on her face betrayed her words.

The group around her exchanged knowing glances, their suspicions only growing.

Loki sat on the floor with a defeated expression, pouting like a scolded puppy. Meanwhile, the Amazon sisters were practically vibrating with excitement.

Their eyes sparkled with curiosity, and it became clear they had smelled the sweet scent of gossip.

"Ais, what happened? Tell us everything!"

"Did Alexander propose to you? Is he going to join our Familia as your husband?"

Even Riveria, usually the calm and composed maternal figure of the group, looked unusually intrigued. Faced with all their intense stares, Ais felt her face grow even hotter.

"N-no, it's not what you think… We just… held hands," Ais admitted hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Held hands?"

The Amazon sisters immediately looked disappointed.

"Seriously? You're blushing over that? Come on, Ais, you need to step up your game!" Tiona teased.

"Yeah, let me tell you something—if you hesitate with a good man, someone else will snatch him up. Look at me! The only reason I keep the captain's attention with so many admirers around is because—"

"Enough, you!"

Meanwhile, Riveria looked at Ais with a gentle, almost motherly smile.

"Ais… you're learning about love, aren't you?" she said softly, as though imagining her daughter on the cusp of marriage.

Then there was Lefiya, who had tears in her eyes. "Ais-san has a boyfriend now! This is so unfair!" she cried, as though her world had come crashing down.

Watching the chaos unfold around her, Ais sighed heavily. "Why is everyone making such a big deal out of this?" she muttered under her breath.

Finn, ever the observant leader, noticed the tablet in Ais's arms.

"Wait… Ais, what's that you're holding?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.

"This? It's a gift from Alexander," Ais replied.

"A gift?"

The room collectively leaned closer, their curiosity doubling.

"What is it? A mirror?"

"No, it's some kind of glowing black screen. What is this thing?"

"Could it be… a token of love?"

As everyone crowded around, poking and prodding at the tablet, Ais felt a pang of protectiveness.

"Hey! Be careful. That's my gift!" she scolded gently.

Reluctantly, she decided to demonstrate how it worked. "Let me show you," she said, holding the tablet up.

With everyone gathered around—including an unusually eager Loki—Ais turned on the device. Following Alexander's instructions, she navigated the interface until she reached the video app.

"Here, this is how it works," she said as the app opened.

The room went quiet as everyone leaned in closer, their eyes glued to the glowing screen.

And so, for the next few moments, the entire Loki Familia found themselves mesmerized by the tablet, marveling at the wonders of the strange, otherworldly device.
