...

Realizing the situation she was in, Echidna curses in her heart: 'Damn it! I fucked up this time! I was so upset by this guy's lack of common sense that I ended up making the mistake of answering him!'

Not hearing Echidna's response, Icarus smiles widely

"Come on, what happened? Why are you suddenly become shy? "

[...]

"Or perhaps, do you really think that remain in silent will make me believe that I'm just crazy? Huehuehue! If this is the case, I will say right away, it is better not to count on it, my dear! Cause' this isn't something that will happen!"

Even after saying that, the only sound Icarus hears is the sound of the lake and the monsters around him.

Seeing that the other party is still silent even after he says that, Icarus sighs

"Sigh! It seems like I have no choice but to do this..."

After spending a few seconds complain in silence, Icarus suddenly becomes serious.

While looking absently at the lake water he slowly starts talking

"You know, the first time you spoke to me I thought it was just an auditory hallucination and that I was starting to go crazy. After all, at that time, as you well know... I was practically dying!"

Hearing this, Echidna remembers what happened at the time, due to Icarus's carelessness he ended up being hit by Red-Gorilla's surprise attack.

After being hit and unable to move, Icarus lay there while he waited for the monster to finish him.

However, to his surprise, even after a while nothing happened.

As soon as he was able to move, Icarus finally realized what was happening: The Red-Gorilla had been unlucky enough to break his own leg.

Seeing this, Icarus, who was in an extremely regrettable state, began to laugh while claiming that the monster should be more unlucky than he has.

Despite knowing that Icarus was saying such a thing, just to vent the stress of the battle, Echidna, who was watching the whole situation in silence, still found it somewhat absurd.

After all, it makes no sense that a person unlucky enough to have the title <An Unlucky Existence!> to say such a thing.

Because of this, Echidna unwittingly ended up rebutting his claim, leading him to know its existence.

After spending a few seconds remembering her first slip, Echidna turns her attention and focuses on Icarus' words.

Listening with a lot of curiosity to see exactly where his monologue is going to go.

Despite not knowing that his words have successfully managed to arouse the interest of the other party, Icarus continues: "However, to my surprise, just when I was finally forgetting that, it happened – I heard your voice again! When that happened I was finally able to say with certainty that I was not crazy and that there was really someone watching me!"

Hearing this, Echidna quickly curses her past self

'Tsk! I should have been more careful! Now because of that, I'm going to have to put up with this annoying swindler bothering me with his bullshit!'

Besides that fact, I also realized something else: for some reason, this being that was watching me, did not want to talk to me.

Honestly, it's hard for me to understand why that is. After all, what kind of person would not like to talk to someone as handsome, intelligent humble and honest as I am? Besides that... "

'Sigh! There he goes again...'

As soon as Icarus starts to praise himself, something that for some reason Icarus does a lot. Echidna finaly can't take it anymore and almost immediately starts to curse his lack of shame

[Shut the fuck up! You Honest? Come on, who the hell are you trying to kid? In your past life, you have deceived more people than any con man I know! Give me a fucking break! Just on the day you died, you had deceived more than ten people! And yet you don't even hesitate to say you're honest? Fuck, when compared to you, all the other swindlers that I've ever seen are a bunch of saints!]

Upon hearing Echidna's voice in his head, Icarus freezes for a second. Since he didn't expect to receive a response from the other party so soon, even more a "passionate" response like this one.

However, thanks to his years of experience as a swindler, Icarus has a very large adaptive capacity, when it comes to abupritic changes like these. So at an abnormal speed he recovers and without any hint of shame, he promptly responds

"Are you questioning my honesty? Okay, listen, here and now... I put my life on the line and say that in my whole life, everything that I've ever done, I've done it in the most honest way possible, okay?!"

Hearing this, Echidna laughs and in a voice full of sarcasm says

[Hahaha! Sure! If that is true then I was born yesterday! I saw your fucking memories you goddamn sucker! Knowing this, do you still dare to say that words to me?]

As soon as Echidna finishes speaking, Ícaro quickly realizes that there is an interesting detail in her words: 'Wait a minute... What if I do that? ... Yeah, yeah, that can work! Okay, let's try that!'

Icarus internally smirks, and immediately puts his plans into action. He slowly steps back a few steps, and with a disgusted face he asks to Echidna

"W-Wait... did you saw my memories without my consent?"

Hearing this strange question, Echidna involuntarily answers.

[Huh? Yeah, I saw! Why do you ask?]

Seeing this, Icarus smiles internally, as while thinks: 'She took the bait!'

Without letting his face reveal his real thoughts, Icarus with a face of disgust and sadness says

"I feel so abused!"

[???]

Echidna's brain cannot process the abrupt plot twist and she momentarily goes into a state of confusion.

While ignoring this, Icarus continues with a rather tearful voice

"J-Just wait, I will report you! How dare you steal my first time..."

After saying this, Icarus lowers his head and tears start to trickle from his eyes

"Sob sob... I was saving it for someone special!"

Without knowing how to react to the situation, Echidna ends up choosing the most obvious solution – Apologize to Icarus

[I-I'm sorry! It wasn't my intention to hurt your feelin— Wait a minute]

Suddenly, Echidna realizes the strange direction that the original conversation ended up taking.

After reflecting for a while, she realizes what's going on and full of anger she starts cursing Icarus

[You goddamn motherfucker! You really have guts to tricking me, huh?!]

"Tsk! She notice!"

Just as Echidna imagined, Icarus was trying to change the subject using some ambiguous words

Realizing that it is useless to keep pretending, Icarus quickly begins to wipe the tears from his face, as if nothing has happened

Seeing this, Echidna gets even more pissed off

[You little piece of shit! Do you really dare lie to me? I should...]

"Okay, okay... I'm sorry if my actions pissed you off! However, even though I exaggerated a little bit with my words now, in the end, what I said are really my true thoughts!"

[What the fuck are you talking about?

Do you think you will deceive me again?

Come on, I fall for your trick thit time just because I let my guard down!

Besides, from what I saw in your memories, it's been a long time since you stopped being "pure"

So please tell me... How the hell did I steal your first time?]

Hearing Echidna's questioning, Icarus stops for a second and closes his eyes trying to reorganize his thoughts.

A few seconds later, he opens his eyes and with a slight smile on his face he begins to speak.

"First of all, I still find uncomfortable as hell, the naturalness with which you talk about having seen all my memories!

Damn, this so fucking bizarre, I'm sure that if it were someone else in my place, that person would start avoid you without thinking twice

With that said, I have an advice for you, you better start thinking twice before saying weird stuff like that! Because, you could end up hurting the feelings of someone who shouldn't

The consequence of this, well... I don't know... maybe but just maybe... this person might end up a little bit upset by your words and possibly end up want to kill you"

Echidna starts laughing and then without even trying to hide her contempt for Icarus, she says

[Hahaha! Yeah, I got it, I got it... I know very well, what you're trying to say! As far as I know, you already faced situations similar to this, like... I don't know... a thousands of times? Am I right?]

If it were were a normal person in this situation, that person would certainly start to feel uncomfortable and quite ashamed at this poin.

In fact, if it had been a normal person, that person wouldn't have even gotten into this type of situation in the first place.

However, the person facing this situation is none other than Icarus, someone who is not exactly the best definition of a normal person.

And as someone who doesn't care at all about the opinions of others, when faced with this kinda situation, Icarus chooses to do what seems to be the most natural choice for him – pretend that nothing happened!

Icarus deftly ignores Echidna's words, then with an immutable face he continues:

"Anyway, this is my advice if you're going to listen to me or not, that's up to you! As for the second thing I would like to comment on is that you is right about me not being a virgin anymore! Even so, I am still not lying! And I can prove it!

You know that there is not just one type of "first time", and that actually, there are several types, righ?"

[Y-Yeah]

Echidna responds while simultaneously thinking: 'Hmm... I don't think I like the direction that this conversation is taking!'

"So you already knew that, this is good! What I mean by all of this, is that it's exactly one of these other types of "first time" that I'm talking about!"

After saying this, Icarus stops, and puts both hands on his cheek, then in an embarrassed tone, he continues

"Y-You know, you really stole my first time..."

[Huh? What?]

"...After all, you are the first... to see my memories! So... you'd better take responsibility!"
