(Y/N): Oooh, this is a strong brew today!

Stable Owner: Try not to go too crazy with this one!

You waved at the stable owner as you returned to greet your friends a good morning. At this point, you have already returned to the stable and watched as the both of them were arguing about which garment to burn for the fire.

(Y/N): Mornin' friends! Have you tried today's batch of coffee, yet? Oh man, it's incredible!

Aqua: (Y/N)!!! Kazuma is trying to burn my hagoromo!

(Y/N): Oh yeah, that thingy around your body or something...!

You took another sip as Aqua practically gree teary eyed at your lack of reaction.

(Y/N): Seriously, you need to try this. Perfect for this cold weather!

Whack!

Aqua smacked the beverage out of your hand.

(Y/N): ... Really? Alright, I take back what I said about you being cu- HURK!!!!

You felt a surge of pain radiate directly within your chest as you took a step forward. The pain lasted for a moment as you fell back, twitching madly as the lingering pain hurt worse than the actual surge.

Kazuma: WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TO HIM?!

Aqua: I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!! Oh wait... He might have tripped over my barrier...

Kazuma: .... What fo- ooooh...!

(Y/N): YES I TRIPPED THE BARRIER!!!

You quickly stood up, violently shook yourself off as the pain was still there.

(Y/N): Do you actually hate me?!

Aqua: What?! Pffft, nobody! Why would you think that?!

Kazuma: Because he was forced to have a heart that wasn't even human in the first place...!

Aqua: I...

(Y/N): *sigh* Whatever! I'm out!

You retrieved the cup from the ground and walked away from the two while grumbling to yourself.

Kazuma: Well, good luck getting yourself out of this one!

Aqua: W-what do you mean...?

Kazuma: Knocking him out of bed is one thing but actively trying to kill him?

Aqua: I wasn't trying to kill him!! I always put up a barrier there to ward off any baddies! I still don't understand why it triggered on him, now of all times?

Kazuma was a little curious since you were never able to detect her barriers however he quickly noticed the stain of coffee on the ground.

Kazuma: Hm... Well he does seem more human when he's usually in his calm, happy go lucky mood...!

Aqua: Eh? What are you getting at?

Kazuma: Think about it. Anything positive and he leans more to his human side while any negative emotions draw him more on the demon side... See what I'm getting at?

Aqua: I think so... So then me knocking the drink might have triggered that side, even if it was just a little bit?

Kazuma: Sure, seems like it.

Small Timeskip!

The duo eventually arrived in front of a certain shop and stopped before entering the door so that Kazuma may speak.

Kazuma: Listen up! I'm only going to say this once so behave yourself in there!

Aqua: Who do you think you're talking to?! I am always perfectly behaved, thank you! Do I look like some kind of low life thug? Hello! I'm a goddess, you moron!
