“Hey, you can’t,” Flavia sprung to her feet, hearing Ileena and Emilia say they’d be going too.
“Why not? I’m… Narias girlfriend too,” Ileena stated in a calm voice, fully focusing on her drink at the same time.
“I would like to spend more time with Narias as well,” Emilia said, also trying to keep her gaze at her own plate on the table.
“Yes, but… I asked him first,” Flavia stated. “It’s… first come first serve.”
“Really? In that case, I’m his first girlfriend,” Ileena’s eyes shot up with a victorious glimmer.
“Eeh?” the bunny girl backed down, but quickly went into offensive again. “That doesn’t matter and Narias already agreed for me to come. Hah.”
“But… that’s not fair,” Emilia couldn’t stay silent. “Narias and I are officially dating too. I should have the right to go as well.”
“Hey, hey. It’s ok. All three of you can-“ Narias tried to intervene to stop what it looked like was escalating into a big argument, but was interrupted by Flavia instead. It didn’t seem like the girls even heard what he wanted to say.
“You had a chance to ask Narias if you could go with him before I even got here, but you didn’t.” Flavia made a valid point, of which she was really proud of. The other two girls couldn’t argue against that.
“Your point is valid, Flavia,” Ileena said calmly, making the bunny girl grin victoriously. “However, we were about to ask Narias if we could go with him when you showed up. You simply jumped in front without letting us talk.”
“Ah, that is…” now Flavia had to think what to say to defend herself. “I… I simply spoke because nobody was talking. I… I couldn’t have known what you were talking about before I got here.”
“We understand that, Flavia, but you claiming to have priority over us is not fair,” Emilia felt confident to say it to her face.
“Aaah…” Flavia knew Emilia had a point, but the bunny girl went too far to let it go now. “In that case, let’s ask Narias who of us should go with him. I bet he’ll choose me.”
“Ask Narias?” Emilia gasped, slightly surprised by Flavia’s suggestion.
“Hmph,” Ileena adjusted her glasses, smiling confidently. They way she glanced at Flavia, made the bunny girl shiver for some reason. “I agree. Let’s ask Narias.”
“Well, in that case, I’d like to know Narias opinion as well,” as reserved as Emilia used to be, she felt confident in her beauty.
“Hey partner, who of us would you like to come… huh… with you? N… Narias?” Flavia jumped to ask the question and only then noticed her boyfriend was being unusually quiet.
“Yes, could you tell us…” Ileena turned to him as well and her eyes widened, not from surprise, but from realization something bad was about to happen.
“Narias?” Emilia noticed something was amiss too.
“So, like… who would you… like to go with you… partner?” Flavia still wanted to know.
Narias was sitting at the table, hands placed on his knees, head thrown down, staring at his barely touched food. It almost looked like his lunch was trembling in fear, seeing how Narias was looking at it. Although, the girls couldn’t see Narias’s face.
“I would really love…” Narias squeezed a few words out of his mouth, his girlfriends leaning closer, so they could hear better. “… if all of you could get along…”
“…” his words stung his girlfriends harder than a bee’s sting.
“I’m sorry I… I need to go back to my class,” Narias stood to go.
“Aah, wait Narias…” Flavia didn’t know what to say to stop him. “You… you hadn’t finished your lunch yet.”
“I’m not hungry. Excuse me,” Narias answered instantly, walking off.
His three girlfriends were left sitting at the table, faces buried down, feeling horrible at what just happened.
“Oh, come on, you three,” Nicky was in for some scolding, wrinkling her nose with a frown. “I totally can’t believe you.”
“Wow, I didn’t know things usually get so heated between you all. Oh, and just so you know, I have no interest in dating Narias. I’m happy to be his friend, I mean, only as a friend… if you don’t mind, that is?” Vivia added, trying to sound supportive. However, her comment made Ileena’s, Flavia’s and Emilia’s faces go paler than they were.
“Humph… See what you did?” Nicky pouted her cheeks, crossing her arms in front of her.
The three girls were sitting quietly, feeling worse than being scolded by their parents for the very first time when they got into trouble.
“I apologize. I acted out of line,” Ileena spoke up first this time.
“I’m sorry guys, I… I shouldn’t have said all those things,” Flavia was feeling guilty about how she acted.
“It was so inappropriate of me to treat you the way I did. I sincerely apologize,” Emilia bowed her head even lower.
“You know, you can go with Narias instead of me. I… I’ll go visit my family, so… it’s fine,” Flavia suddenly announced.
“No, I think you should be the one going, Flavia,” Ileena responded.
“Huh? But… but you were the first one who started dating Narias. You ought to have priority, Ileena,” Flavia suddenly was insisting for Ileena to go.
“That’s true, but that doesn’t change the fact that you asked to go with him first, Flavia. I had a chance to ask him before you showed up, but I didn’t,” Ileena admitted, lowering her head down with a deep sigh.
“Ileena is right. The two of us had a chance to do so, but…” Emilia gave Flavia an encouraging smile.
“Well… but then again, why didn’t you?” Flavia suddenly became curious.
“Oh?” the Ice Princess caught a mild flush.
“I…” Ileena’s cheeks followed Emilia’s lead and blushed as well. She then let out a deep sigh. “I guess I lacked the courage to ask him.”
“Lacked courage?” Flavia wrinkled her nose, throwing a glare at Ileena.
“Huh?” Ileena turned her eyes away, feeling embarrassed.
“You were a real fighter, Ileena,” Nicky commented with a chuckle. “Actually, all three of you were.”
“Hah… I guess we were,” Nicky’s comment made Flavia laugh. “I honestly didn’t expect you two to put up such a fight, especially you, Emilia.”
“I suppose… I became envious of you two, since you are dating Narias for so much longer than I am,” the Ice Princess admitted, cheeks burning red. “I’m really sorry, that was really unbefitting of me.”
“Hey, don’t sweat it. I know how you feel. Geez… I didn’t expect I will lose my temper like that as well. I guess I had fallen for Narias good,” Flavia threw one hand behind her head, grinning wide.
“Oh, I guess I…” Emilia was still too shy to say whatever she wanted to say out loud.
“Yes, I… I care about Narias too,” Ileena admitted, although she was quiet with her words.
“Aaah, I’m happy to see you finally back to being friends,” Nicky clapped her hands excitedly. “Now, there’s only one thing left to do.”
“Huh? What’s that, Nicky?” Flavia gave her a puzzling stare, making the tiny girl chuckle.
“To apologize to Narias, of course,” Ileena told Flavia in a half-stern voice, finally going back to being her usual self.
“Oh, yeah…” the bunny girl stuck her tongue out.
“But… Narias will probably be upset and… won’t want to talk to us after what happened,” Emilia added, feeling bad about it.
“That’s…” Ileena’s lowered her head, knowing Emilia might be right.
“Aargh… and why did I have to lose my temper? I know I felt jealous, but that’s…” Flavia was rubbing her head with both hands, making a mess of her hair.
“Hey, I think you’re forgetting one thing,” Nicky said, getting attention of her friends.
“What?” Ileena asked, curious to know.
“It’s Narias we’re talking about here,” the tiny girl said with a giggle. “He wouldn’t be angry with you. Besides, feeling jealous means you care about someone. I’m sure Narias knows that too. All you have to do is feel jealous in a good way.”
“Huh? Feel jealous in a good way? How does that work?” Flavia was confused.
“It means we should support one another instead of fight among ourselves. If we care about Narias, we should strive to make him happy, above all else,” Ileena was too confident with her words to not make an impact.
“I agree,” Emilia smiled, and the frost glimmer shone on her cheeks.
“Right,” Flavia grinned wide.
“And going back to our issue, I think you should go with Narias this time, Flavia,” Ileena said.
“Yes, I’ll go… next time,” Emilia added.
“Thanks,” Flavia was happy to hear them say that, but she wasn’t so sure about it for some reason. “Well, actually, if Narias wants to go with one of you instead, I’ll be ok with it too.”
“Huh? What?” Ileena’s attention was turned to Nicky, who couldn’t help but laugh out loud for some reason.
“Oh, nothing, hah…” the girl had to control herself. “I’m just happy for you three. Really, really happy.”
The three girls were a bit confused about why Nicky acted the way she did. Ileena being friends with her the longest had a suspicion Nicky was hiding something, but she decided not to pry this time.
{some time earlier when Narias left the cafeteria}
Sigh… That was a little too much… He was fretting about what had happened, walking down the corridor. Having three girlfriends is definitely a lot. Wait, three? Ah… That is…
He stopped as he walked, dropping his head as well as his shoulders down. Narias didn’t know if he should treat Layla and Belinda as his girlfriends too, but he certainly had ‘relationships’ with both of them.
Man, it is really nerve wracking. I wonder if I can manage going forward. He resumed his walk.
Narias had some time left before his next class would start, so he went to get some fresh air outside. A quiet walk in the campus park would help clear his head, he thought.
How do others manage to keep good relationships with all of their other halves? Narias held his chin, walking by himself, thinking about it. Having more than one girlfriend had its benefits and he was starting to get used to it, but Narias wanted for his girlfriends to get along too. Right, Ileena, Flavia and Emilia still don’t know about Layla or Belinda… I mean, Miss Salroze. Things might get even more complicated going forward. Sigh… What do I do?
Narias sat down on one of the benches he came across to relax. In all honesty, he was happy for all three of his girlfriends to come with him. He hadn’t planned they would come simply because he thought Ileena, Flavia and Emilia would go visit their own families during the off-school holiday. His parents told him they’d love to meet Narias’s girlfriends in the last letter they wrote, but he hadn’t made any promises that either of them would be able to come.
I suppose… I should spend more time with them? I hadn’t taken any of them on a date with me recently. But with the studies and training… and dungeon exploration… Baah… Narias was struggling to think how to go about it. Oh, right… I have promised Belinda I will come back earlier to visit her. She said I wasn’t using my abilities to the fullest and I need to train more. But in addition, I believe she’s also someone I would like to… Aargh… Damn it! How does that even work? Loving more than one person?
Narias’s brain was going into an overdrive, with no possible solution on the horizon either. He had his hands on his head, leaning forward, staring at the ground and looking like he was distressed like no tomorrow.
“My, my, what happened to you, darling?” Narias suddenly heard a woman speak to him.
“Huh? Miss… Milenna? Wha… what are you doing here?” He had literally forgotten where he was.
“That’s so cold of you to say that. I feel so hurt,” Milenna pursed her lips, looking totally sad.
“Aah… S… sorry Miss Milenna. I didn’t mean to. I was…” Narias had to scramble to find the right words to apologize.
“You look really stressed, darling. Did something happen?” the cheeky nurse couldn’t help but notice Narias was feeling down. She stopped with her innocent, fake act.
“Oh, well…” he didn’t know if it was a good idea to tell her.
“Now, now. You know you can trust me, right? So, how about you tell me what is bothering you so much?” Milenna sat down next to him on the bench.
“But…” Narias looked at the woman who gave him a very warm smile, the glimmer in her pink eyes reassuring him she had the best of intentions to help. “Ok… Ahm… So…”
“My, my, your girlfriends were fighting over which one of them should go with you? How adorable…” Milenna chuckled after Narias told her what happened.
“Yeah…” he smiled, feeling a little embarrassed about it.
“Well let me ask you this, who would you like to come with you?” Milenna asked point blank.
“Oh, personally, I’d love all of them to come with me. I mean, I’d like to spend more time with all of them, it’s just…” Narias let out a deep sigh.
“It’s just…” the nurse encouraged him to continue.
“Well, I’m not really good at these sort of things. I never expected to have a girlfriend to be honest, let alone more than one. I try to be nice to all of them, but… I just don’t know how to go about it. I guess… it’s not really possible in the long run… having many girlfriends, that is,” Narias sounded sad when he said that.
“But of course it is,” Milenna stated, the confidence in her voice forcing Narias to look directly at her. She was smiling kindly, eyes sparkling with joy.
“But… if they keep fighting among themselves…” Narias definitely didn’t want for his girlfriends to be at odds with one another.
“Now, now, I think you got it all wrong, darling,” she said.
“Wrong?” Narias was curious.
“They were fighting over you, not with each other. That’s a big difference. I would agree fighting is not a good thing, of course, but that just shows how much they care about you. All of them want to spend more time with you,” Milenna explained with an added smile.
“Well… I guess you’re right about that, Miss Milenna,” he had to agree, holding on to his chin. Narias looked up onto the trees, quietly thinking about it.
“Besides, I totally understand how they feel. I feel jealous too. I wish I could spend more time with you as well. I feel really sad you hadn’t visited me for a while, cutie,” Melinna said in a teasing voice, with Narias suddenly feeling something soft press against his arm.
“Eh? M… Miss Milenna?!” Narias turned to face her, finding her charmingly seductive face being right in front of his, with her chest pressed against his arm too. That was more than enough to get him flustered, his cheeks, and his ears, turning red in an instant.
“Hmm…” Milenna pulled away, covering her mouth with one hand laughing. “Feeling better, are we?”
“Sigh… You… you always tease me like that, Miss Milenna,” Narias tried to keep his cool, averting his eyes away. His face was still red, but her sudden stunt helped to clear his head. “But… thank you.”
“Happy to help, cutie,” she smiled at him, an acute flush jumping on her cheeks too. “But you know, I honestly meant what I said back at the shop that day.”
“Huh?” Narias stared at her, having a flashback of her posing with the lingerie she was wearing at the time.
“Mhm… I’m glad my performance made an impression as well,” Milenna quickly caught on what was going on in his head. “But… I was talking about… being your girlfriend…”
“Wha… You… you want to be my girlfriend, Miss Milenna?” Narias gulped, never expecting the sexy nurse being serious about that part. But even being stunned after hearing such news, he couldn’t miss to notice her being adorably flustered, or embarrassed even.
“Of course,” she tilted her head to the side, touching her left cheek with one hand.
Is she… being serious? Narias wanted to think Milenna was teasing him again, but something in her eyes was telling him she wasn’t acting.
“But… I’m much younger than you are, Miss Milenna and…” he was scratching his own cheek with one finger, looking away.
“Yes?” Milenna wanted him to finish what he had to say.
“And… you are a beautiful, gorgeous-looking woman. Well, actually… if I may be so bold as to say, I think you are a very sexy and alluring, and… luscious,” Narias was remembering how she looked at the shop with only her lingerie on, his eyes still staring at the trees in front of him. But then his inner gentleman slapped him on the face, reminding him one shouldn’t talk about a woman in such manner. “Oh… aah… sorry. I think you’re a stunningly mesmerizing woman, but also… you are very kind. I know you like to tease and act provocative, and I was feeling uncomfortable being around you at the beginning, but when I got to know you a little better, I believe you are a wonderful person. You always listen to me and you sincerely want to help. I really appreciate that aspect of you. And… well… if I’m being honest, you being flirtatious the way you are… just adds to your bewitching personality… Ah, sorry, I was…“
Suddenly, Narias realized he was talking non-stop again. He finally turned to face her, but was stunned to see her looking back at him, cheeks burning red and eyes glittering with passion. Time stopped, and before he knew it, Milenna was pressing her lips against his.
Huh? Wha… Narias’s mind screamed, but he wasn’t exactly resisting her kiss.
“I…” Milenna sighed, pulling away just slightly after she did what she did before sitting back straight. “I’m sorry, I was just… caught up in the moment…”
Wow, that was… Narias stared at her with amazement. Milenna was looking in front of her, touching her pink hair with one hand, trying to hide her flushed cheeks. But Narias could still notice her eyes gleam with mesmerizing radiance.
“Ah… well…” he was completely flabbergasted by her move.
“Don’t worry about it, cutie.” She suddenly said, smiling at him, then quickly averting her eyes away the next second. “Simply… forget about what just happened, ok? And rest assured, I’ll keep it just between the two of us. I wouldn’t want for your girlfriends to get into fight again.”
“Miss… Milenna…” Narias’s mind was still in a daze.
“Oh, you just look at the time. Your next class will start soon and I have to go back to the infirmary. I wish you a lovely holiday, darling. Please make sure not to get hurt, ok? I’ll feel bad if something were to happen to you,” Milenna was back at being her-cheeky-self.
“R… right. Yes, I will. Thank you… Miss Mi-” Narias wasn’t able to finish his sentence, because Milenna walked away faster than he expected she would. “Wow, that just… made things more complicated…”
He was rubbing the back of his head, trying to process what just happened.

“Hey, you can’t,” Flavia sprung to her feet, hearing Ileena and Emilia say they’d be going too.
“Why not? I’m… Narias girlfriend too,” Ileena stated in a calm voice, fully focusing on her drink at the same time.
“I would like to spend more time with Narias as well,” Emilia said, also trying to keep her gaze at her own plate on the table.
“Yes, but… I asked him first,” Flavia stated. “It’s… first come first serve.”
“Really? In that case, I’m his first girlfriend,” Ileena’s eyes shot up with a victorious glimmer.
“Eeh?” the bunny girl backed down, but quickly went into offensive again. “That doesn’t matter and Narias already agreed for me to come. Hah.”
“But… that’s not fair,” Emilia couldn’t stay silent. “Narias and I are officially dating too. I should have the right to go as well.”
“Hey, hey. It’s ok. All three of you can-“ Narias tried to intervene to stop what it looked like was escalating into a big argument, but was interrupted by Flavia instead. It didn’t seem like the girls even heard what he wanted to say.
“You had a chance to ask Narias if you could go with him before I even got here, but you didn’t.” Flavia made a valid point, of which she was really proud of. The other two girls couldn’t argue against that.
“Your point is valid, Flavia,” Ileena said calmly, making the bunny girl grin victoriously. “However, we were about to ask Narias if we could go with him when you showed up. You simply jumped in front without letting us talk.”
“Ah, that is…” now Flavia had to think what to say to defend herself. “I… I simply spoke because nobody was talking. I… I couldn’t have known what you were talking about before I got here.”
“We understand that, Flavia, but you claiming to have priority over us is not fair,” Emilia felt confident to say it to her face.
“Aaah…” Flavia knew Emilia had a point, but the bunny girl went too far to let it go now. “In that case, let’s ask Narias who of us should go with him. I bet he’ll choose me.”
“Ask Narias?” Emilia gasped, slightly surprised by Flavia’s suggestion.
“Hmph,” Ileena adjusted her glasses, smiling confidently. They way she glanced at Flavia, made the bunny girl shiver for some reason. “I agree. Let’s ask Narias.”
“Well, in that case, I’d like to know Narias opinion as well,” as reserved as Emilia used to be, she felt confident in her beauty.
“Hey partner, who of us would you like to come… huh… with you? N… Narias?” Flavia jumped to ask the question and only then noticed her boyfriend was being unusually quiet.
“Yes, could you tell us…” Ileena turned to him as well and her eyes widened, not from surprise, but from realization something bad was about to happen.
“Narias?” Emilia noticed something was amiss too.
“So, like… who would you… like to go with you… partner?” Flavia still wanted to know.
Narias was sitting at the table, hands placed on his knees, head thrown down, staring at his barely touched food. It almost looked like his lunch was trembling in fear, seeing how Narias was looking at it. Although, the girls couldn’t see Narias’s face.
“I would really love…” Narias squeezed a few words out of his mouth, his girlfriends leaning closer, so they could hear better. “… if all of you could get along…”
“…” his words stung his girlfriends harder than a bee’s sting.
“I’m sorry I… I need to go back to my class,” Narias stood to go.
“Aah, wait Narias…” Flavia didn’t know what to say to stop him. “You… you hadn’t finished your lunch yet.”
“I’m not hungry. Excuse me,” Narias answered instantly, walking off.
His three girlfriends were left sitting at the table, faces buried down, feeling horrible at what just happened.
“Oh, come on, you three,” Nicky was in for some scolding, wrinkling her nose with a frown. “I totally can’t believe you.”
“Wow, I didn’t know things usually get so heated between you all. Oh, and just so you know, I have no interest in dating Narias. I’m happy to be his friend, I mean, only as a friend… if you don’t mind, that is?” Vivia added, trying to sound supportive. However, her comment made Ileena’s, Flavia’s and Emilia’s faces go paler than they were.
“Humph… See what you did?” Nicky pouted her cheeks, crossing her arms in front of her.
The three girls were sitting quietly, feeling worse than being scolded by their parents for the very first time when they got into trouble.
“I apologize. I acted out of line,” Ileena spoke up first this time.
“I’m sorry guys, I… I shouldn’t have said all those things,” Flavia was feeling guilty about how she acted.

“You know, you can go with Narias instead of me. I… I’ll go visit my family, so… it’s fine,” Flavia suddenly announced.

“Well… but then again, why didn’t you?” Flavia suddenly became curious.
“Oh?” the Ice Princess caught a mild flush.
“I…” Ileena’s cheeks followed Emilia’s lead and blushed as well. She then let out a deep sigh. “I guess I lacked the courage to ask him.”
“Lacked courage?” Flavia wrinkled her nose, throwing a glare at Ileena.
“Huh?” Ileena turned her eyes away, feeling embarrassed.
“You were a real fighter, Ileena,” Nicky commented with a chuckle. “Actually, all three of you were.”
“Hah… I guess we were,” Nicky’s comment made Flavia laugh. “I honestly didn’t expect you two to put up such a fight, especially you, Emilia.”
“I suppose… I became envious of you two, since you are dating Narias for so much longer than I am,” the Ice Princess admitted, cheeks burning red. “I’m really sorry, that was really unbefitting of me.”
“Hey, don’t sweat it. I know how you feel. Geez… I didn’t expect I will lose my temper like that as well. I guess I had fallen for Narias good,” Flavia threw one hand behind her head, grinning wide.
“Oh, I guess I…” Emilia was still too shy to say whatever she wanted to say out loud.
“Yes, I… I care about Narias too,” Ileena admitted, although she was quiet with her words.
“Aaah, I’m happy to see you finally back to being friends,” Nicky clapped her hands excitedly. “Now, there’s only one thing left to do.”
“Huh? What’s that, Nicky?” Flavia gave her a puzzling stare, making the tiny girl chuckle.
“To apologize to Narias, of course,” Ileena told Flavia in a half-stern voice, finally going back to being her usual self.

“Aargh… and why did I have to lose my temper? I know I felt jealous, but that’s…” Flavia was rubbing her head with both hands, making a mess of her hair.
“Hey, I think you’re forgetting one thing,” Nicky said, getting attention of her friends.
“What?” Ileena asked, curious to know.
“It’s Narias we’re talking about here,” the tiny girl said with a giggle. “He wouldn’t be angry with you. Besides, feeling jealous means you care about someone. I’m sure Narias knows that too. All you have to do is feel jealous in a good way.”

“I agree,” Emilia smiled, and the frost glimmer shone on her cheeks.
“Right,” Flavia grinned wide.
“And going back to our issue, I think you should go with Narias this time, Flavia,” Ileena said.
“Yes, I’ll go… next time,” Emilia added.
“Thanks,” Flavia was happy to hear them say that, but she wasn’t so sure about it for some reason. “Well, actually, if Narias wants to go with one of you instead, I’ll be ok with it too.”
“Huh? What?” Ileena’s attention was turned to Nicky, who couldn’t help but laugh out loud for some reason.
“Oh, nothing, hah…” the girl had to control herself. “I’m just happy for you three. Really, really happy.”
The three girls were a bit confused about why Nicky acted the way she did. Ileena being friends with her the longest had a suspicion Nicky was hiding something, but she decided not to pry this time.
{some time earlier when Narias left the cafeteria}
Sigh… That was a little too much… He was fretting about what had happened, walking down the corridor. Having three girlfriends is definitely a lot. Wait, three? Ah… That is…
He stopped as he walked, dropping his head as well as his shoulders down. Narias didn’t know if he should treat Layla and Belinda as his girlfriends too, but he certainly had ‘relationships’ with both of them.

His parents told him they’d love to meet Narias’s girlfriends in the last letter they wrote, but he hadn’t made any promises that either of them would be able to come.
I suppose… I should spend more time with them? I hadn’t taken any of them on a date with me recently. But with the studies and training… and dungeon exploration… Baah… Narias was struggling to think how to go about it. Oh, right… I have promised Belinda I will come back earlier to visit her. She said I wasn’t using my abilities to the fullest and I need to train more. But in addition, I believe she’s also someone I would like to… Aargh… Damn it! How does that even work? Loving more than one person?
Narias’s brain was going into an overdrive, with no possible solution on the horizon either. He had his hands on his head, leaning forward, staring at the ground and looking like he was distressed like no tomorrow.
“My, my, what happened to you, darling?” Narias suddenly heard a woman speak to him.
“Huh? Miss… Milenna? Wha… what are you doing here?” He had literally forgotten where he was.
“That’s so cold of you to say that. I feel so hurt,” Milenna pursed her lips, looking totally sad.
“Aah… S… sorry Miss Milenna. I didn’t mean to. I was…” Narias had to scramble to find the right words to apologize.
“You look really stressed, darling. Did something happen?” the cheeky nurse couldn’t help but notice Narias was feeling down. She stopped with her innocent, fake act.
“Oh, well…” he didn’t know if it was a good idea to tell her.
“Now, now. You know you can trust me, right? So, how about you tell me what is bothering you so much?” Milenna sat down next to him on the bench.
“But…” Narias looked at the woman who gave him a very warm smile, the glimmer in her pink eyes reassuring him she had the best of intentions to help. “Ok… Ahm… So…”
“My, my, your girlfriends were fighting over which one of them should go with you? How adorable…” Milenna chuckled after Narias told her what happened.
“Yeah…” he smiled, feeling a little embarrassed about it.
“Well let me ask you this, who would you like to come with you?” Milenna asked point blank.
“Oh, personally, I’d love all of them to come with me. I mean, I’d like to spend more time with all of them, it’s just…” Narias let out a deep sigh.
“It’s just…” the nurse encouraged him to continue.
“Well, I’m not really good at these sort of things. I never expected to have a girlfriend to be honest, let alone more than one. I try to be nice to all of them, but… I just don’t know how to go about it. I guess… it’s not really possible in the long run… having many girlfriends, that is,” Narias sounded sad when he said that.
“But of course it is,” Milenna stated, the confidence in her voice forcing Narias to look directly at her. She was smiling kindly, eyes sparkling with joy.
“But… if they keep fighting among themselves…” Narias definitely didn’t want for his girlfriends to be at odds with one another.
“Now, now, I think you got it all wrong, darling,” she said.
“Wrong?” Narias was curious.
“They were fighting over you, not with each other. That’s a big difference. I would agree fighting is not a good thing, of course, but that just shows how much they care about you. All of them want to spend more time with you,” Milenna explained with an added smile.
“Well… I guess you’re right about that, Miss Milenna,” he had to agree, holding on to his chin. Narias looked up onto the trees, quietly thinking about it.
“Besides, I totally understand how they feel. I feel jealous too. I wish I could spend more time with you as well. I feel really sad you hadn’t visited me for a while, cutie,” Melinna said in a teasing voice, with Narias suddenly feeling something soft press against his arm.
“Eh? M… Miss Milenna?!” Narias turned to face her, finding her charmingly seductive face being right in front of his, with her chest pressed against his arm too. That was more than enough to get him flustered, his cheeks, and his ears, turning red in an instant.
“Hmm…” Milenna pulled away, covering her mouth with one hand laughing. “Feeling better, are we?”
“Sigh… You… you always tease me like that, Miss Milenna,” Narias tried to keep his cool, averting his eyes away. His face was still red, but her sudden stunt helped to clear his head. “But… thank you.”
“Happy to help, cutie,” she smiled at him, an acute flush jumping on her cheeks too. “But you know, I honestly meant what I said back at the shop that day.”
“Huh?” Narias stared at her, having a flashback of her posing with the lingerie she was wearing at the time.
“Mhm… I’m glad my performance made an impression as well,” Milenna quickly caught on what was going on in his head. “But… I was talking about… being your girlfriend…”
“Wha… You… you want to be my girlfriend, Miss Milenna?” Narias gulped, never expecting the sexy nurse being serious about that part. But even being stunned after hearing such news, he couldn’t miss to notice her being adorably flustered, or embarrassed even.
“Of course,” she tilted her head to the side, touching her left cheek with one hand.
Is she… being serious? Narias wanted to think Milenna was teasing him again, but something in her eyes was telling him she wasn’t acting.
“But… I’m much younger than you are, Miss Milenna and…” he was scratching his own cheek with one finger, looking away.
“Yes?” Milenna wanted him to finish what he had to say.
“And… you are a beautiful, gorgeous-looking woman. Well, actually… if I may be so bold as to say, I think you are a very sexy and alluring, and… luscious,” Narias was remembering how she looked at the shop with only her lingerie on, his eyes still staring at the trees in front of him. But then his inner gentleman slapped him on the face, reminding him one shouldn’t talk about a woman in such manner. “Oh… aah… sorry. I think you’re a stunningly mesmerizing woman, but also… you are very kind. I know you like to tease and act provocative, and I was feeling uncomfortable being around you at the beginning, but when I got to know you a little better, I believe you are a wonderful person. You always listen to me and you sincerely want to help. I really appreciate that aspect of you. And… well… if I’m being honest, you being flirtatious the way you are… just adds to your bewitching personality… Ah, sorry, I was…“
Suddenly, Narias realized he was talking non-stop again. He finally turned to face her, but was stunned to see her looking back at him, cheeks burning red and eyes glittering with passion. Time stopped, and before he knew it, Milenna was pressing her lips against his.
Huh? Wha… Narias’s mind screamed, but he wasn’t exactly resisting her kiss.
“I…” Milenna sighed, pulling away just slightly after she did what she did before sitting back straight. “I’m sorry, I was just… caught up in the moment…”
Wow, that was… Narias stared at her with amazement. Milenna was looking in front of her, touching her pink hair with one hand, trying to hide her flushed cheeks. But Narias could still notice her eyes gleam with mesmerizing radiance.
“Ah… well…” he was completely flabbergasted by her move.
“Don’t worry about it, cutie.” She suddenly said, smiling at him, then quickly averting her eyes away the next second. “Simply… forget about what just happened, ok? And rest assured, I’ll keep it just between the two of us. I wouldn’t want for your girlfriends to get into fight again.”
“Miss… Milenna…” Narias’s mind was still in a daze.
“Oh, you just look at the time. Your next class will start soon and I have to go back to the infirmary. I wish you a lovely holiday, darling. Please make sure not to get hurt, ok? I’ll feel bad if something were to happen to you,” Milenna was back at being her-cheeky-self.
“R… right. Yes, I will. Thank you… Miss Mi-” Narias wasn’t able to finish his sentence, because Milenna walked away faster than he expected she would. “Wow, that just… made things more complicated…”
He was rubbing the back of his head, trying to process what just happened.
