Aibo's scalp tingled. What was going on? The first time he'd worked up the courage to strike up a conversation, he'd been defeated this thoroughly?
And my real body is over by the counter. How did you recognize me as Aibo at a glance?
"Hello, may I ask who you are...?"
"Ahahaha, I-I'm here sightseeing! That's right, I'm a tourist here to visit Fairy Tail!"
What a clumsy excuse...
The blonde beauty tried to hide her hand, but Aibo had already spotted the guild mark on the back of it.
She's a guild member? Why haven't I seen her before? And she seems to know me...
[What do I do, what do I do?! Erza told me not to reveal my identity, but Aibo latched onto me the moment I walked in! What am I supposed to do?!]
"Miss, what's your name?"
"Huh? Ah! M-My name is Lu, Lu, Lufei!"
This girl knows Erza too? Too suspicious... No, there's an infiltrator! Abort the plan!
"So it's Miss Lufei... Sorry for disturbing you so abruptly. I just remembered that I have something to take care of. Since you want to tour the guild, let her accompany you."
Aibo reached out and somehow grabbed an Ailu cat, stuffed her into the suspicious bunny girl's arms, then returned his thought-form to his body and vanished at once.
"Huh? It's tiny Ailu!"
"Hello, bunny, meow! Do you know Ailu, meow?"
"I'm not a bunny! You stupid Ailu!"
Meanwhile, Aibo's real body hid away and began observing in secret.
His terrible attempt at flirting had left Aibo too embarrassed to face anyone. He decided he should stop casually hitting on girls in the future...
A failed first attempt could leave a lifelong psychological scar. It might take a lifetime to heal!
Damn it, blonde Lufei.
