"HARU-KUN!!!"

Yunyun was running away while being chased by a Rookie Killer.

"Please! Help me now!"

"Pfffft~"

I snickered while watching her from a top of huge branch of tree where I'm standing and in which is high enough for anyone not to noticed my location. She was panicking and crying for help already after being used as a distraction for me to sneak an attack from behind of the target without using any my traps.

"HARU-KUN!!?"

When she arrived on the pinpointed location as we planned, she faced the rookie killer and casted a spell with two gems in her hand which is red and yellow gem between her fingers.

"Flash!"

I immediately covered my eyes with my arm to avoid being blinded.

The rookie killer got stunned by the bright light and Yunyun casted another spell in an instant.

As expected from Crimson Demon Clan which consist of only arch mages, they are really proficient when it comes to magic.

"Paralyze!"

I used this chance and jumped from the tree. Using the momentum from high altitude, I sliced the neck of the Rookie Killer cleanly with my blade and the head roll off on the ground until the beast realized that he's been killed.

"Okay, quest completed!"

The Rookie Killer's headless body fell down as I discarded the blood from my Katana by swinging it once on my side then I returned it back to the sheath slowly.

I was amaze by its sharpness.

This Katana is a custom made sword that I ordered from blacksmith shop few days ago. It is made from high quality materials and it can be imbued by magic to increase its power. Very expensive but it's worth the money.

"Yunyun, let's dismantle the body! --Huh?"

When I checked on Yunyun, she was standing still in the same position from which she casted her magic spell.

"What are you doing? We had to head back quickly before it gets dark!"

"Haru-kun! I can't move!"

"Wait! Don't tell me..."

I went towards her then poked her in the cheek which is very squishy.

"Hey! Stop it!"

Unable to resist myself from teasing her, I pinched her cheek next until she became teary-eyed.

"You can't move either. What kind of spell-casting that also affects the user?"

"Haru-kun... please stop teasing me! I tried my best but the same thing happens."

"This is fun."

I continued to play with her.

"Wah! You're so horrible!"

After finishing our job, we went back to Axel Town and report to the guild while I give Yunyun a piggyback ride home. I felt motivated that I didn't even use my teleportation magic when we went home together so that I can feel the two soft spot on Yunyun's chest in my back for more longer.

"Haru-kun, I'm sorry..."

Yunyun keep apologizing to me even though I didn't really mind and I had a lot of fun being together with her in the quest. I didn't even care about reward or the difficulty of the job as long as I can be with her.

"I told you, it's fine!"

"You're angry, right? You're thinking that 'Why do I have to carry this pig? She's so heavy!' You actually thinking of me like that, right? Uuuu..."

She already wants to cry out anxiousness.

I felt a little irritated of how she thinks of me.

I'm not really that kind of horrible person even though I look unfriendly in the outside.

"Ummm..."

The counter lady tried her best to smile at us while handing out the rewards for the quest and payment for the dismantled materials.

"Thank you very much. Sorry but I have something important to talk with her."

"No problem. Thanks for the hard work!"

The counter lady bowed to us as we left the guild in hurry. We went straight back to our inn and I carried Yunyun to my room. I placed her down on my bed and she got scared, seeing my expression.

"Yunyun..."

With threatening tone, she trembled in fear.

"I'm sorry... Please spare me!"

"Sit!"

I pointed at the side of the bed and she immediately moved in a sitting position.

"Yes!"

It seems like, the effects of her paralyze spell has already wear off. She's just afraid to tell me.

"Okay, don't move!"

"Yes!"

She stiffened up while sitting tall with her eyes close.

I sat beside her then lied down my head on her lap.

"Huh?"

She realized that I don't have any intention of punishing her but instead, I just want her to give me a lap pillow.

The softness of her legs gives me comfort that can send me above and achieve Heaven. Her smell makes me fell at ease.

"Eh?!"

She was too shocked to react.

I just rubbed my cheek on her thighs and ignored her. Looking at her face, her whole face was red that reaches her ears. She was very embarrassed.

"Hey, Haru-kun... I think this is a little bit..."

"Accept it. This is your punishment."

"Eh?!"

"I want to be like this. Just endure it for a little longer."

"But... But I'm little bit sweaty. My smell might be unpleasant to you"

"I don't mind. You smell so good to me. I like it!"

"Eh?! Moo! Haru-kun! You sound like a pervert!"

She was very embarrassed but I ignored her and let myself falls asleep.

"Hey, Haru! Wake up!"

---

Waking up, the first thing I saw was Yunyun's peaceful sleeping face.

"Hm?"

I sat up and stretch my arms while yawning then I went out of the bed then looked outside the window. That when I realized that it was already morning with the sun just rising from behind the mountains. Looking at Yunyun's outfit, she was wearing the same dress as yesterday when we went together on a quest and she just slept on the same bed with me. I wonder how she'll react when she found out about this.

"Haru..."

Yunyun was talking in her sleep then she suddenly woke up and looked around while her eyes are half-opened.

"Huh? Why am I in different room again?"

When she found me staring at her, she finally realized and her face became red.

"Wah. Wah. Wah. Wah."

"Speak clearly. Is that a new language?"

She pouted and got mad at me with her adorable glare.

"Haru!"

She jumped out of the bed and hit me several times in the body.

"This is all your fault! You told me that you'll take a nap shortly but you slept the whole night and I can't even wake you up!"

*Rumble~*

Suddenly, Yunyun's abdomen made a long growling sound and she became more embarrassed. She can't take it anymore and just stared at me with teary eyes while being mad at me.

"Haru-kun, you big dummy! I hate you---Wait! I'm sorry! It's not like that! I actually just don't dislike you."

She blurted out all of sudden but she corrected her words so she won't made me feel bad then she quickly ran out of my room in which her words left me in shock and made me feel a little unpleasant.

*Sigh*

After a sigh, I decided not to come after her and let things calm down first. I just remembered that this was our first quarrel but it's not much a big deal since I know what she really means out of her embarrassment.

"I guess I'll talk to her later."

I decided to take a bath first and went to the bathroom.

Humming while taking a shower, I remembered how expensive this place and how was it already luxurious compare to the other inns. It has one bedroom with toilet and shower. But there was something it lacks and it is very important in every household.

"I want a room with a kitchen. Or... should I just buy a new house. It is more convenient than paying a rent. I could even ask Yunyun to live together with me. The problem is... if I have enough money to buy one. I guess I would ask around for prices first."

Coming out of the bathroom while wiping out the droplets around my body, someone came knocking out of my door.

*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!*

Just from the sound of knocking, I can already guess that it wasn't Yunyun who's on another side of the door. Her knocking is more gentle and slow. That means, it's a different person and the only person who can come to knock on every door is--

"Who's there?"

I quickly wore my new fresh clothes and went to open the door while wiping my head with the towel.

"Haru."

The one who showed up was the owner of the inn. A woman in her mid-thirties was pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Yes, is something wrong?"

Behind her was Yunyun who's kind of sad with her head staring down the floor.

"I'm sorry, Inn Owner... I'm really sorry. It won't happen again."

Yunyun keeps apologizing to her that makes her look pitiful in front of us.

The inn owner held forehead,

"As you can see, there were a lot of complaints from other residents about the two of you causing noises during night and day."

"Huh? I don't remember making any loud noises even I'm with Yun--"

I sense different kinds of stares around the floor and saw the slightly opened doors of our neighbor rooms. They quickly shut it off when I turned towards their direction.

"I see... I understand now. It can't be helped then..."

Yunyun keep bowing several times to the inn owner while she apologizes non-stop intensely.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I promise, it won't happen again!"

I grabbed her cheek and pitched it to stop her.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Stop it, Haru-kun! It hurts!"

"Stop apologizing."

I just smiled and try to talk it out with the inn owner.

"Please tell them to endure it for few nights. I'm planning to move after buying a house anyway."

"What?!"

Yunyun was taken a surprised that made her jaw dropped.

"Is that so..."

"Inn Owner has been kind to me and I really like this place but I felt kind of bad to always indulge from your kindness. And also..."

I moved my arm and wrapped it around Yunyun's waist then I pulled her closer to me.

"I think we already need a new place to live so we don't bother our lonely neighbors."

*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!*

I can hear loud sounds in every room around means I got them back for complaining about us.

"Ara! To think a new couple was formed from my inn! I feel happy for the two of you! Congratulations!"

She was delighted with the news.

"Thanks."

Yunyun on my side was fidgeting and shy, not minding my move on her.

---

Going together to guild, Yunyun was still hesitant to reach my hand while looking around the streets.

"Umm..."

She tried to hold my hand but stopped when a old man passes by in front of us.

"Yunyun..."

"Wahh! What is it, Haru-kun?"

She was surprised when I called her.

I sighed then decided to make the move myself and held her hand.

"Eh?!"

"I told you. It's fine. This was supposed to be normal between us now but I preferred that you clinging on my arm than holding my hand."

Her face became red again which ended making her quiet.

"We're here."

Looking around inside the guild as we enter, there's no people around aside from counter lady which is Luna-san.

"Oh, welcome, you two. Why so early today? There's no job posted yet--"

When Luna-san gaze ended up seeing our hands holding each other, she ended up looking displeased and scolded us.

"I know you two are couple. Please stop showing too much affection in the guild. A lot of people might get jealous when they see the two flirting with each other."

"Okay..."

I just decided to listen and let go of Yunyun's hand as she turned around from me, not showing her face.

"We would like to order some food."

"Sure, but it might take some time since the Chef hasn't arrived yet. Are you okay with that?"

"No problem. Yunyun will treat me anyway."

"Eh?!"
