"Ha... ha..."
Fragrant pants kept spilling from the girl's glossy red lips and drifting into Roland's nose.
Kanzaki Kaori had her arms hooked around Roland's neck like a lover.
To steady herself, she kept her fair, delicate fingertips pressed against his skin, brushing over it from time to time.
Yet even the most oblivious person could not have found the slightest sweetness in this scene.
For before the gentle smile that emotion had brought to Kanzaki Kaori's face, anyone could only have felt a numbing chill.
"Clang-"
As the girl's fingertips teased Roland's neck more frequently, that cold sound of clashing blades finally became distinct.
Suddenly, an atmosphere far colder than before began to surface.
With a female Saint's physique, even her thin fingernails could cut through ordinary steel.

She's just about at her limit...
Roland thought with a smile as he stroked the girl's back.
Although she was a good-tempered female Saint, Kanzaki Kaori was not the taciturn type in the traditional sense. The mature air she displayed was more an armor for dealing with outsiders.
In truth, she was quite sensitive and delicate inside, even conservative.
It was precisely because she was so innocent that the girl's anger at this moment was so genuine and enticing.
Roland could derive pleasure from human desires.
Thus, seeing an innocent Saint willingly reveal such emotions toward him, that extreme contrast brought a tingling sensation to his heart.
He looked forward more and more to the moment Kanzaki Kaori would beg.
*But let's leave it here for today. If this goes on, Kanzaki Kaori's embarrassment will probably shoot through
