Chap 6: It’s Worth Teasing the Extrovert

Konkon

I heard a knocking sound on the door while I was relaxing in the room. It seems like we have found a new escort.

“Hello there! Kuro-san–“

Bam!

As soon as I saw the person in front of me, I forcefully closed the door.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong!

“Hey Kuro-kun! It’s so mean to close the door as soon as you see my face! Come on, open it!”

“Sorry. I impulsively closed it.”

“What’s with that? That’s not cool!”

“Yup, their energy is infectious.

This is Alma. She’s in charge of both being the straight man and getting everyone hyped up for the guild. In the world we came from, she’d be a top-class “sun-kissed” (TL/N:- popular and outgoing) person.

“Why did you come, Alma? Are you the one accompanying us?”

“That’s right! You got it, Kuro-kun ⭐︎”

“Ahh, I see.” 

“Why are you so cold only to me? That’s mean~” 

It’s because her reactions are interesting. Alma is expressive and has great reactions, so I can’t resist teasing her. I wouldn’t say this to her face, as she would get angry.

“Come on, let’s hurry up and go.”

I take Alma’s hand, who is making a fuss behind me.

“Ah…”

Then Alma, who had been so noisy until now, suddenly fell silent. And for some reason, her face turned red. Was it just my imagination?

“We have to hurry, or Lulsiera will get mad at us. We’re going to explore the dungeon now, right?”

I don’t have time to laze around like this.

It’s already past noon. I want to conquer the dungeon before the sun sets.

“Ah, yeah… but…” 

Alma gave a vague response and fidgeted. She probably didn’t like being touched by me.

“If you understand, that’s fine. Then I’ll let go of your hand.”

I wanted to tease her a little more, but if I make her more upset, I don’t think I can handle it.

Will she think I’m ugly if I touch her?

“Aww…you let go of my hand. We finally got to hold hands, Kuro-kun…”

Alma looks disappointed and dejected.

I didn’t realize it and returned to the living room.
