Chapter 98: A Princess Making Progress and a Princess Making No Progress
"Oh, spies? That's quite a fresh getup."
The impatience that had filled his face before instantly turned into a genuinely smug grin when he saw them. "But you're even following me around like this... Oh my, to be liked so much by girls, I really am a man burdened with sin."
"Being followed by admirers brimming with love—what a memorable first for today! I'll have to make sure it gets properly recorded!"
Yep! I'll have them write it into the history books of the Black Night Kingdom when I get back!
"Quit being so full of yourself!"
Used to his exaggerated declarations, Kirara took off the sunglasses from her nose bridge as well. Her gaze drifted uncontrollably toward Twilight, who stood alone in the distance, with no one daring to approach her.
"You're really planning to leave her here all by herself?"
To be honest, this gave them a whole new understanding of just how "promiscuous" Ash was. Kirara had originally thought that as long as a girl was pretty, he would be fine with anyone.
"Of course not. But if she can't figure certain things out herself..."
With his arms crossed over his chest, Ash spoke meaningfully.
"No matter how hard I try to lecture a cow, it'll be meaningless."
"So..." Minami raised her hand after listening. "Ash, you really aren't... planning to make a move on this Twilight, are you?"
Ash had naturally noticed their terrible attempt at secretly following him long ago.
No need to think about it—they must still be clinging to their old stereotypes, thinking I'd do something bad to a girl. Seriously, I've clearly become a pure-love guy now, and they still don't trust me?
"What do you take me for, then?"
