To be honest, I’m relieved. Alfred’s the same as before, with his usual relaxed attitude.

…Yesterday’s matter has already passed, so. I’ll just let it go. It’ll probably be better not to mention it again.

Not only that, I want to purge my brain of my embarrassing actions last night. For some reason, I’ve got the sinking suspicion I said a lot of embarrassing things, so much that it’ll make any normal person blush in shame and wish to disappear. I definitely need to forget it all!

Nothing happened! I can’t believe it; I was just like the kids at the church back then, crying so that he wouldn’t leave me! What the hell was wrong with me?!

I can’t be so out of character! I have to fix the mess I made, and quickly kick the plot back on track.

If not, it’ll be impossible to step back into my role as Alfred’s rival.

In fact, I feel like it’s almost past the point of no return. I wonder how our relationship developed in this way? And why?

Why did he try to calm a crying person with a light kis—

No. Stop! I need to forget this. I really need to forget this.

That’s right.

It’s better to pretend nothing has happened and go with the flow.

As long as I do this, everything will become normal between me and Alfred again.

After making my decision, I attempt to get up from bed. Suddenly, someone pushes me back down.

“Woahh!? Eh, what… Ah!”

It’s Alfred. He shuffles closer to me in an instant, and nibbles on my throat.

His large hand slides under my shirt, slides from my side to my back in a slow agonizing pace. As if he’s stroking me.

“Eh, A-Al… fred? What are you…”

“…Yesterday’s continuation. You immediately slept after all. I couldn’t do anything.”

“C-continuation…!?”

His hand arrives at the side of my pants, and I panic.

“W-wait, Alfred. What are you doing? Wait… No, that’s… not good…. Hey!

It’s obvious what he’s planning to do. I quickly grab his wrist.

But why? Why… are you trying to… take off my clothes?

No, no. I must be mistaken. That can’t be true. That…

As if. No way. No way!!

He shouldn’t be thinking of doing ‘that’ with me.

Even so, Alfred grabs my pants with both hands. Then, as if thinking it’s bothersome, he also reaches for my underwear.

And he tries to pull it down.

My hand shoots out, clutching my underpants desperately and pulling them back up.

“W-wa… wait, wait, wait, l-let’s calm down a little, okay? You shouldn’t be doing this with [tn content=”me—no—me.”] 俺、いや、僕 Lian use ‘俺 (ore)’ for the first me, and ‘僕 (boku)’ for the second me. Ore is usually used by boys or men in general when talking to their family, friends, and cats. In this case, when Lian used to be Nao, he used ‘ore’ to refer himself. Boku is usually used by younger boys, tomboyish girls, and Hatsune Miku. In this case, when Lian become Lian, he used ‘boku’ since he is a respected young masterヾ(・ω・*)ノ[/tn] You’re just teasing me, right? Right? Let’s put an end to this bad joke…”
