Even though he knows I like women like Jessica, he's asking me to be in a relationship with him!?
"After we finish our next quest, our party will leave this city. I can't let the last opportunity to make you come with me pass. So Eria, I'm begging you, please be woman."
"D-Don't ask me that! You know I only like women like Jessica-san!"
"I'm surprised to find that out too, but don't worry, the three of us can be in a relationship together."
"That's not possible!"
"It's possible! I'll make Jessica my woman too. Although we don't look like it, we've been in a relationship before."
"Eh...!?"
I know it was obvious, but it still hurts my heart to hear that Jessica had already been taken by someone.
"When I become the hero, it's only natural that I'll get a harem of my own. When that time comes, I'll make you my main wife."
"You're delusional!!"
Why is he talking as if him becoming a hero was already set to stone? And more importantly, why is he so delusional to think I will join his dream harem?
Gil is every woman's attraction, so he might be thinking I'm attracted to him as well. But I already turned him down before, so why is he still so persistent? Maybe he's desperate now that they're leaving the city.
"I know you're much stronger than I am now, but I promise I'll surpass you in the future. I'll spread my name to the kingdom, and then I'll become like the hero told in legends. That's why, if you become my woman, you'll be able get anything you desire."
"I'm sorry, but my heart's not ready to become anyone's woman!"
"As I thought... You really seem to be oblivious to this kind of thing..."
"That's right! So stop trying to convince me!"
"Then we can just take our time to get along with each other more."
"Ugh! As I said, I don't want to come with you!"
"Please!"
I already tried to reject him as best as I could, but he's still not going away. My wrist is starting to hurt from his tight grip, so I tried to push him away. Still, he's not letting go.
"I'm sorry, Gil! But I'm a...!"
"What are you doing?"
Before I could finish what I was about to say, an angry voice echoed in the hallway and stopped Gil. Of course, who came was none other than Julian, looking as pissed as ever.
"Just when I thought you weren't around..." he snarled.
"Tch!" seeing Julian, Gil reluctantly let go of me and noisily click of his tongue.
"You filthy adventurer, what do you think you're doing to my prey?"
P-Prey...?
"You... As I thought, you're going for her too..." Gil replied, not backing out from the intimidation Julian was showing.
There was clear hatred in their eyes. Sparks flew between them as they stared each other.
T-This is! This scene is something I thought would only exist in a shoujo manga! Two hotties fighting for the main character!
It's quite a sight to see in person, but knowing that I was their target was embarrassing.
"Are you hurt?" Julian worriedly ask.
"Huh? No..." I replied, trying to rub off the pain in my wrist.
"I'm...! I'm sorry..." seemingly realizing what he has done, Gil apologizes.
"Tch! This is why I hate adventurers. They gain a little fame and they think they can steal anything they want."
"I'm not stealing anything. She's not yours."
"It's only a matter of time."
Why are they treating me like I was an object? These two are the worst...
"Go back to the stinking hole you came from, hero-wannabe," Julian casually spit out a vile insult.
"Grr..." Gil growled, wanting to spit something back.
"I can slice you to pieces right here and right now to satisfy my anger, but that would be uncouth. I pride myself as a gentleman, so I'll instead give you a useful tip. If I were you, I'd go away before I piss myself off even more," the malice on Julian's voice was genuine.
Both Julian and Gil are revered as heroes in the city. With that said, while Julian was looked up on by the masses because of his unbelievable strength and skills in swordsmanship, Gil only became renowned because of his unique achievements in the guild.
That is to say, if the two of them were to fight right now, Julian will one-sidedly win.
Fortunately, before an actual fight starts, one of them was smart enough to be the first to back off.
"Hmph! I'll go now," Gil said as he arrogantly shrugged his shoulders.
"Good. Now shoo!" Julian waves his hand forward, clearly urging him to go away.
"Tch!" Gil simply clicked his tongue in response. Then fixing his posture, he turned my way and said, "Please, Eria, I want you to at least consider my offer."
"O-Okay..." I can barely reply.
With one last deathly glance at Julian, Gil reluctantly left.
"I thought I told you, you should stop associating yourself with that person," as soon as we're finally alone, Julian scolded.
Right, he did say that before. Even so, it's not like I'm just going to mindlessly follow anything he asks me to do. He must be thinking I'm his slave or something, but I'm obviously not.
"You can also easily break his hold on you if you tried. Why did you allow him to do that?"
"Mrrh..."
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing..."
After dealing with that, now I'm getting scolded and interrogated...
"It's unusual for you to stay quiet like this. You really didn't get hurt, did you?"
"No, I'm just tired. I'll be going in my room now. You should go back home too."
"H-Huh? But I just got here!"
"I don't care."
Not looking back and ignoring Julian's complaints, I went inside my room.
Sitting on the bed, I rubbed the wrist Gil hurt. It was still red, and I can still feel a pang of pain every time I touch it.
In the silence, I tried to make sense of what just happened...
That was dangerous...
It wasn't dangerous because Gil hurt me, it was dangerous because of how I reacted. Specifically, how my body reacted.
Why did I get excited when he grabbed me...?
I'm trying to ignore it, but ever since I had my first female orgasm with Jessica-san, my sexual sensitivity have increase. It doesn't make sense. I'm starting to take notice of the small details I ignored and didn't care about before.
How did Gil's sweat-soaked body impressed me, when I didn't care about men's appearances before?
I hate to admit it too! But why did my heart skip a bit when Julian came to save me and called me his prey!?
I'm not into men!
I'm not into men, so why did I feel excited...
"Guh..." I groaned as I let myself fall on the bed.
I don't think my body is in sync with my mind anymore...
