...

Badr spoke with a sincere and resolute expression, revealing the emotions he held deep within.

Gently embracing Akeno Himejima, he said in a calm voice, "Don't feel inferior or burdened by your lineage. Your bloodline should never dictate your life."

Akeno's gaze softened.

"Are you giving me a pep talk...?"

"Only if you truly take it to heart."

"Hehe, could you hold me a little tighter? I feel so safe in your arms."

He couldn't refuse such a request. Badr held Akeno closer. Her miko attire had loosened, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

With her delicate collarbone exposed and her high ponytail swaying, Akeno exuded an alluring aura.

She gazed at Badr intently, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"I've decided. I want to be with you. Do you love Rias?"

"Yes."

"Then it can't be helped. And there's Asia and your other girlfriend too. It seems becoming the 'official' wife is impossible. But that doesn't matter anymore. Even if I'm the third, fourth, or fifth, I'm willing..."

Badr chuckled. "How did your thoughts jump to that?"

Akeno gave a wry smile, a hint of resentment in her voice. "Because you're loved by so many, Badr. You're such a playboy..."

"A playboy? ... They like me, so naturally, I have to respond to their feelings. I'm just going with the flow now. If they were to dislike me, I wouldn't force anything. It's all about fate."

Badr's expression was honest and open.

He always treated matters of the heart seriously. He would clearly express his feelings, whether it was love or not. If those feelings deepened, he wouldn't hide them.

Akeno sighed, knowing he was telling the truth. That was the kind of person he was.

But...

"That's easy for you to say, but you're just too lovable."

Badr pondered for a moment.

"But apart from my first girlfriend, I haven't actively pursued any other women."

"That's the problem!" Akeno's smile was strained. "You haven't even actively pursued anyone, and you're already this popular. What if you become more proactive in the future...?"

"I won't be proactive. Pursuing girls is exhausting."

Badr grinned. "I'll just wait for girls who like me, like you, to come to me. I prefer being passive."

Akeno: "..."

She couldn't help but laugh, though his words sounded a bit strange.

However, she knew deep down that gaining Badr's full attention was difficult. She still remembered his initially cold and aloof personality vividly.

Compared to when they first met, Badr's personality had changed significantly.

"How about I give you a lap pillow instead of Rias?"

"Hmm, I'm looking forward to it," Badr chuckled.

Guided by Akeno, he rested his head on her lap.

Her thighs were indeed soft, providing a comfortable cushion.
