Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 223: Caught In The Bathroom!

"Heh, have you seen the women he surrounds himself with, Lulu? You're too ugly for him." Remarked the rabbit-demihuman with a smirk while standing beside Lulu, who looked very similar to her.

"Tch, will you shut up, Momo? No one cares what you have to say." Said Lulu in annoyance as she turned and eyed Momo, who chuckled in amusement.

Glancing at Momo, Lulu's younger brother, he and her looked very similar; they both had white rabbit ears, blue hair, though Lulu's reached down to her butt. They both had rather muscular builds, of course, Lulu still had a very feminine look, and her muscles weren't apparent like Momo's, but it was easy to tell she wasn't physically weak; they had a paler skin tone, bright blue eyes, similar to Lazuli, though when it comes to height, they were on the short side with Momo only being a few inches taller than Lulu.

They were part of a group called The Beasts, alongside three other people, Cann, Falish, and Ogi; however, I didn't see them anywhere in the guild, so I figured they weren't present. They're a C-rank party, the same as us, they're also a relatively new group, having formed just four years ago, so they're also rather young, similar in age to Lazuli and I, at least the siblings are.

"So, are you guys going to argue with each other or what?" Asked Alexander with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Momo and Lulu while folding his arms, causing them to grunt before backing away.

"I'm going to turn in our job; otherwise, I might end up hitting someone." Said Momo with a grunt of annoyance as he glanced at Alexander before staring at Lulu, who merely grunted, ignoring his antics.

Watching Momo walk off toward the reception desks, I glanced at Lulu, who cleared her throat before suddenly grabbing my hand, leading to who knows where.

"I-I'm borrowing Alex right now, Lazuli; I'll return him soon." Said Lulu with a faint smile as she waved at Lazuli, who silently watched them vanish down a hallway before shifting her focus to Yuki and Nanya.

Once we reached the end of the hallway, Lulu approached the women's bathroom and entered it while leading me inside, pushing me against the wall; she closed the door and looked at me, causing me to raise my head at this suspicious turn of events.

"You're not going to rape me right now, are you?" Asked Alexander with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Lulu with a faint smirk, causing her to shake her head while approaching him.

"No. Besides, I wouldn't want to receive Yuki's wrath." Replied Lulu with a wry smile, her words causing Alexander to raise an eyebrow before nodding.

"Neither would I. So, why did you lead me into the bathroom?" Asked Alexander curiously as he gazed at Lulu, who now stood only a few feet before him.

Lulu didn't immediately respond and instead lowered her head while fidgeting with her hands; part of me wanted to rub her fluffy ears as they were always soft, but now didn't really seem like the time.

"S-So you know how the month of C-Chloe is nearby?" Asked Lulu awkwardly as she briefly glanced at Alexander, who nodded before lowering her head once more.

"I-I was wondering, i-if you'd l-like to, maybe, um, h-hang out. Y-You know, j-just the two of us." Added Lulu softly, her voice barely audible while her cheeks flushed bright red with embarrassment.

Took some control to chuckle right now, but I couldn't help but smirk at her words since it seemed like she was practically asking me out on a date.

"Heh, it's about damn time, Lulu; you've sure been taking your sweet time." Remarked Alexander with a smirk as he glanced at Lulu, who raised her head, gazing at him with widened eyes.

"Eh, y-you knew?" Asked Lulu in surprise as she stared at Alexander, who casually nodded.

"Yes, I knew; I've known about your feelings for the past three years. Not many things can hide from my eyes, Lulu." Replied Alexander with a smirk as he folded his arms and gazed at Lulu, whose blush only deepened at his words.
