TWO SHARP GAZES

"Pfff... Hahahahahahaha!" My laughter resounded through the dark cave.

The three girls looked away in embarrassment. Lena hid her

face on her hands and refused to look at me and Claire laughed awkwardly a pair of times.

Louise, on the other hand, was looking as though she wanted to die.

"Hahahahaha... Damn, I just realized that this array is very dangerous. We just started and I already almost die." I chuckled and looked at the girls that almost caused my death.

Lena crouched down and moaned in shame.

"... God, a sixth-layer spell? Were you planning to cook all of us alive? Hahahaha...!"

Louise turned completely red. She looked away and started to write scribbles with her foot.

"And you, Claire, do I look like a rat? Moreover, why were you swinging the sword with the eyes closed?"

"... Tehee~?"

Yeah, no.

"Damn, I think we encountered the strongest second-layer rat in the world. It would have been a true joke if a rat exterminates us at the start. Pfff...!"

I laughed happily for more than one minute. The girls could only endure my laughter while looking away with their faces burning.

"... You are not angry with me?"

"Of course not." I caressed Lena's cheek and smile to relieve her. Seeing that, Lena sighed in relief.

"Right, cousin, you truly are strong." Claire looked at me with stars on her eyes. "Moreover, you were so calm. I think I'm falling in love with you even more."

Before she could finish her words, two sharp gazes pierced her back.

"... it's a joke, a joke. Geez, I can understand why Lena is like that, but why are you looking at me too, sister? I remember you have a fiancée." Claire felt cold sweat running down her back and hurriedly tried to find a way to save herself.

And as she expected, her words succeeded in redirecting Lena's attention towards Louise, who feigned disinterest and looked away.....
