Tonight, we have made the decision to attend World Great Guild Hall Adventures (WGGHA) and World Longest Dungeon (WLD), specifically Across South.
I expressed my sincere apologies to my partner numerous times, and although she has forgiven me, I still struggle to move past it.
"I have been to the place before and I will gladly introduce you to my acquaintances─"
To ease my tension, I hugged her from behind.
"I'm really sorry," I expressed my remorse, she turned around and embraced me,"Please don't worry about it─"
"──Mmhn," I kissed her forehead and her side nose.
We shared a warm moment, exchanging affectionate gestures.
"...I respect you a lot."
"Rin, I'm very happy."
Despite Sena's innocent, I couldn't shake the feeling that she was aware of her surroundings.
「Gate」As she released the dark double gate dimensional, she held my hand and we found ourselves in the medieval-themed room.
"This particular room belonged to me within the guild hall, and we planned to proceed to the lounge where I intended to introduce you to my friends."
"I'm looking forward to it."
We shared a lighthearted laugh.
The lounge exudes a spacious and medieval atmosphere, where individuals from diverse races harmoniously gather and engage in conversation over drinks.
Accompanying my partner, we eventually arrived at our destination, where her four acquaintances, adorned in black robes and armor, were seated.
Among them, there were two women, alongside an Elf and a Mortal, whereas I remained unnoticed in the background.
"Sena! We have eagerly awaited your arrival! You mentioned that you would introduce your partner today, correct?" The mortal exclaimed, with a wide grin.
"Yes. This is my partner." Sena gracefully positioned herself beside me and replied affirmatively, and she emitted an adorable smile.
"I'm Rin von Avila Craig-Ueno. Nice to meet you all."
"W-We assumed that she was kidding around, but it appears to be true. I am Adral," the elf stuttered, seemingly taken aback.
"So, you are connected to the esteemed authorities. I am Cona, pleased to make your acquaintance," the witch chimed in.
"A pleasure to meet you! My name is Gulzar," the mortal enthusiastically said.
"I am Aster. Delighted to have the opportunity to meet you. Nyah!" the beast gracefully declared.
"Thank you for being harmonious companionship with her. I am grateful."
"Sena may possess an innocent demeanor, but she reveals a fearsome side in battle. Hahahaha!"
Gulzar, evidently amused, the others responded with sniggers.
Indeed, I do not need to worry as they were good friends.
"It is important for me to convey that I am not an intimidating presence but rather, I am being completely serious──"
All of a sudden, an individual approached Sena and casually placed his arm on her shoulder.
"My lady, we've been waiting for you."
"We had been observing you."
They expressed in a flirtatious manner, my partner gasped in shock at the sight of them, along with another individual who was beside her.
In that moment, I found myself bewildered, feeling a mixture of anger and sadness.
"Lukin and Vims, I never desired to befriend either of you." Sena said, and his arm continued to hang from her shoulder, with his hand positioned near her chest.
Upon witnessing this, Is it possible that my partner could be cheating on me?
...I certainly hope not.
My heart starts to ache, and I am left wondering about this unsettling feeling within my chest.
"Yeah, we were already aware."
"What? Who is accompanying you─" one of them begins to question.
Without hesitation, I swiftly grab his arm as he is about to touch me. With a sudden movement, I pivot in front of him, pulling his arm as I maintain my grip on his arm as I skillfully flip his body, causing him to crash onto the floor.
-Thud
I have acquired some defensive techniques to protect Sena.
"Argh! Y-You! What is your problem──"" He exclaims in anger.
While he was on the ground, I proceeded to repeatedly strike his face.
His attempts to retaliate were futile, as his body had already become numb.
"You have angered me! Keep your hands away from her! Do you understand?! I forbid you from touching her, as she belongs to me!"
I became infuriated and shouted.
The onlookers in the lounge were bewildered, unsure if they were witnessing a duel.
Meanwhile, my partner's friends were shocked by my actions.
"Y-Yea- Ughh- No-Argh! I-will-Urk!"
"...H-Help." He said as his face was disfigured, with a bleeding nose and my gloves in tatters.
"R-Rin! Rin! Stop! Please, stop!" Sena, desperate to intervene, cried out loudly.
Upon hearing her plea, I ceased my assault and as she took hold of my hands, we retreated to her room.
An uneasy silence fell upon us, and I found myself looking down in contemplation.
・─ Sena's POV
I had not anticipated such aggressive behavior from her. As a result, I have learned something significant.
It is my own fault for being naive and I am at a loss for words, except to feel a sense of dejection.
"...He was a man and a stranger; hence, his actions were unforgivable. ...D-Do you tolerate his behavior?" She questioned in a soft tone.
"I'm... I'm sorry─ I deeply apologize──"
My eyes widened in astonishment because she's shedding tears, the drops falling onto the floor.
I feel a sense of remorse and shame within myself.
I deserve punishment for my wrongdoing, but why isn't she expressing anger?
...Will she leave me?
No.
I'm filled with fear.
"Rin," I said and I embrace her tightly.
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, please do not grow weary of me.
There is no one I would rather be with but you, you're the only one for me and rest assured, we will always be together.
I will strive to make you feel like the only one because I want to be the one you love forever and you're the only good thing in my life.
"...In the future, I will be more discerning."
After thinking, I expressed my desire, but she remains lost within herself.
As I hold her close, I plant kisses upon her chin and lips. Simultaneously, she returns the hug and pecks my forehead.
Her tears come to a halt and I breathe a sigh of relief.
"...Let us return home and take some rest for a while."
I am feeling fatigued for unknown reasons.
I hold her hand and I utilize gate from lost magic, and we proceeded to change into our nightwear separately and settled into bed.
As we lying by side, I looked at her, she is exhibiting an unusually reserved demeanor.
"Rin─" Suddenly, she sought to embrace me while intertwining our hands.
What have I done to deserve love like this?
I am grateful for your mere existence.
"Sena, my behavior was unwarranted. I can only imagine how challenging it must be for you, and I sincerely appreciate your steadfastness in not giving up on me. I am merely being influenced by my own thoughts and if I have erred, I apologize."
She said as she has this undeniable expression of sadness, and we seem to share the same sentiments.
She possesses a profound understanding of me and displays an immense level of care, and I feel cherished.
I am overjoyed, and I embraced her tightly.
"Why didn't you get mad at me?"
"I love you so much that I cannot be angry with you, and I think there aren't that many things worthy of getting angry about and It's my fault too for losing myself."
"I love you too, please look at only me and don't get tired of me."
"Sena, I would never do that."
"I'm relieved."
Later on, we decided to sleep.
