Elimination [6]

"Haa…"

August sighed to himself.

"Who are you?"

He asked the question that definitely should've been asked a long time ago.

The girl also relaxed after seeing that he'd lost his killing intent. She got off of him and straightened her clothes, patting her chest in relief.

"I was wondering when you were going to ask. You really act before thinking, don't you?"

"Not usually, but you asked for it, didn't you? How else was I supposed to respond?"

The girl shrugged.

"It really isn't my fault. If I knew you would react that way I would've never started off like that. You can't blame me for wanting to look mysterious."

August rolled his eyes. He was calmer now so he was able to put away his hostility, but he still didn't like that she'd evaded the first question.

"Am I getting an introduction any time soon?"

"Ah, right! I forgot about that."

The girl smiled sheepishly and held out her hand.
