Ugh... I didn't get a wink of sleep...

"N/N, I love you."

Why did she have to say that? This makes things so complicated...

I already have Elise, don't I?

But I don't want to outrightly reject her either... if I do, what will happen to our friendship...?

I sigh.

"N/N, can I come in?"

Hm? Elise?

"Ah, yeah...sure."

How should I face her...?

I haven't told her about what Alisa said...

She enters the room.

"Elise..."

"I know about Alisa."

"Then..."

"You're free to accept her."

What?

"Are you sure...?"

She nods.

"I've thought about it. As long as you aren't taken away from me... I'm fine with sharing you... but you still have to pay attention to me..."

How cute... even right now, she's blushing while averting her gaze...

"Besides... she's strong. Stronger than me, perhaps... she can protect you better..."

"Stronger than you...?"

Strange. Elise would never admit that... even if it's true.

"Elise... you..."

"I've already decided. Please don't make me change my mind..."

I chuckled slightly.

What a thoughtful person...

She really only cares for me.

In any case... I suppose I don't have to hesitate to much now that Elise is fine with it...

It's not like I haven't thought of it before... but still... a relationship like that...? How would it work?

My mind drifted off...

"N/N, I love you."

"Y/N, you're ours, 'kay?"

"Uhm..."

Elise placed her arms around my waist from behind, and Alisa placed hers around my neck from the front...

Sandwiched like this... is an awfully dangerous situation...

I can already feel my face heating up...

"N/N? What's wrong?"

"...!"

This is awkward...

"It's nothing... I was just... thinking."

"About?"

When I stare into her eyes, I remember my previous thoughts...

No! Begone impure thoughts!! Begone!

Okay, I'm ready.

"Elise... I've decided."

She perked up.

"I'll accept her."

"Then... what are you waiting for? She's been waiting for you a really long time... you should give her your answer."

I nod.

I'll save the villainess! (GL)Where stories live. Discover now
