As Douma continued smiling like a creep, I felt him bring me closer to his face more and more, nearly pressing his smooth cold lips to mine, but a second didn't even pass when someone's hands abruptly ripped me out of his tight embrace from behind, grabbing me by the collar of my shirt and roughly pulling me away from the upper moon, depriving him from the passionate kiss.

"Don't you dare touch her again, otherwise you're not getting away alive from me." Enmu growled aggressively, pulling me close to his chest and covering my lips with his black sleeve while still trying his best to restrain himself from smashing Douma's face into nothing.

"Enmu-san.." Nakime quietly whispered to herself, tilting her head towards us.

"Ohh~ Someone got mad I see~" Douma mocked Enmu again with his fake smile, delicately fanning himself while trying to conceal his quiet laughter.

...

I was literally speechless at this point. This wasn't the first time this happened but everything certainly crossed all the boundaries.

...

"Douma tell me, are you seriously that much of an idiot? Honestly, how many times does everyone have to make it clear to you that you don't even need to try anything to achieve your fucked up dreams. You won't be able to take her away." Akaza began to get triggered and irritably resent from Douma's disrespectful and disgusting behaviour towards me and Enmu, yet he still didn't give a shit about his words.

"Douma. I hope you heard me."

"Akaza, I'm not talking to you.~" He finally replied without taking his eyes off me, continuing waving his shiny metallic fan and trying to hide his slight blush by bringing it closer to his face.

...

At this point I don't even know what to expect, I don't think it can't get any worse. Can it..?

...

"Heeeey!!~ I'm back! Did ya miss me?~" A familiar female voice unexpectedly rang out from behind me, accompanied by the muted sound of heels clicking on the floor.

...

Great. It was Daki.

...

"... Uh, did I miss anything? Master informed me I'd be summoned here for information about a new task with these two, what's this all about-" She confusedly questioned Akaza as she noticed how Enmu was breathing heavily with tiny drops of saliva dripping down his fangs, furiously glaring up at Douma while he continued emptily pushing out a grin on his pale face.

"These assholes arguing again, nothing new. You have no idea how much I'm tired of them." Akaza stated, whispering the last part as he recapped the useless dispute between Douma and Enmu for Daki to get an understanding of what's going on.

...

This was the most unnecessary and embarrassing conflict I ever experienced, and I hated the fact that I was the center of attention. I felt ashamed for these two more than myself.

...

"Both of you, quit annoying the fuck out of me for once. I'm so tired of you two starting this shit all the fucking time. Stop it. Now." I spat out, trying to contain my emotions as much as possible, now was not the time for a breakdown, especially in front of everyone.

"Well done. You got on her nerves for good, I hope you're proud, Douma." Akaza sarcastically pointed out, rolling his eyes while looking over at Douma, who motionlessly stood on the spot and examined me with guilt.

I turned around to face the wall next to me to hide my annoyance, bitterly staring into nothing as my eyes twitched with frustration the moment I looked aside. I hated this pressuring feeling when I felt everyone intently gaze over in my direction and quieten down, which made the situation even more awkward, Enmu no longer breathed so heavily, Douma widened his iridescent eyes and covered his face with a fan, Daki slapped her hands over her mouth when she noticed something wasn't right, and even Nakime quietly gasped from aside once I glanced away. Was it really that much of a deal..? I want to die on the spot. I felt so uncomfortable, no words could describe how uneasy it felt standing in the middle of an argument between two dumbasses as everyone else kept staring at me like I was the one who provoked them. Why does this kind of drama always keeps surrounding me in particular? I guess I'll never get the answer no matter how much I'll try to understand Douma's mindless actions.

"Hey.. I'm sorry.. I...-" Douma began to apologize, carefully reaching out his hand towards me and slowly making his way up to me, but Daki grabbed his shoulder and stopped him from making me feel even worse, stepping out to talk to me instead of him.

"Hey... Are you alri..-" She asked, but without letting her finish the sentence I swiftly darted over into the fortress's labyrinths, getting lost in the abstract area.

I didn't want to see anyone at the moment. I didn't have a single clue where I was located either, I was quite far away from everyone once I found a quiet place behind a wall to sit down and rest, just staring into the depths of the infinity castle with a blank face. I didn't even get to properly process what just happened back there. Why did I even get sent here in the first place, why was Douma there, where did Daki come from... So many questions and not a single answer. I'm more than tired of Douma sucking up to me as well. I hate how fake he seems, I can tell he's doing all this to amuse himself out of boredom, he doesn't have any sort of feelings for me whatsoever, and I don't know what to do so he could stop pestering me...

Sigh.

"...Why are the upper moons so hard to deal with.. I should've asked Nakime to teleport me out of here before.." I quietly spoke out to myself, leaning my head onto a wall behind me and thinking of something to get distracted with.

...

*Biwa chime*

...

Nakime..?
