A long conversation with Xenovia

Strax barely knew what to say... I mean, come on.

Was it obvious that Xenovia might be using Strax to somehow gain freedom from this family? Yes, it was quite possible.

Xenovia had been cold for a very, very long time, and honestly, it was hard to know if such a woman could even have any feelings... But now...

"Why." Strax said; he really wanted an explanation. He wouldn't accept just an "I like you."

"How could I not fall in love with someone who tried everything to stay by my side? Tell me, little brother, tell me how I could avoid this." She asked, her tone shifting completely into a mix of seriousness and cuteness—something Strax... never thought he'd see. She was pouting while speaking seriously, and he almost choked with the urge to laugh.

"Ah~" Strax sighed. He didn't know what to do in this situation. He wasn't sure if he had any feelings for Xenovia, but of course, he wouldn't reject her.
