Reincarnated as the ML best friend...

Chapter 15

He's so close, we could exchange a kiss.

Crossing swords is really intense and hot.

Not saying this in a weird kind of way, but in a sporty one. Maybe lewd, too?

*I blush further*

Maxim was concentrated on pushing his way through with his sword, but now that he took a good look on my face, he's weirded out und jumps back.

Dude!, he'll probably say. I hope I don't seem gay. Whaaa, I'm a girl!!

"Why are you blushing?"

Why are you gay?

"Who says I'm blushing?"

Who says I'm gay?

"You are blushing."

You are gay.

Ahhh, the perfect meme. Thank you.

Anyways. I don't know how to react.

"I.. I'm not", I obviously lie.

He moves closer to me.

"So you're alright with continuing our fight, or will you win by making the mood awkward?"

Actually, that's a good idea.

"Let's.. rather stop. You know I don't have any more strength left."

I'm still blushing. Maybe it really looks like I'm out of power, at least I hope so. I really am, btw.

I don't know how I managed to survive this long without losing my face. Well, it doesn't matter, now that I messed up.

Maxim seems to be still suspicious of me.

"You lack... Self-awareness, I .. suppose",

I'm saying out of breath.

Maxim's confused.

Maybe he should think about it, but there's no time for that anymore.

A butler comes to pick his Highness, the crown prince, up.

"The king has finished his work. He is expecting the prince to come and pick him up."

Maxim is still deep on thought and doesn't seem to have listened to the butler's words.

"Maxim?"

I call him out.

"Huh?"

He snaps back to reality and starts to blush.

"I'm sorry, I need to go",

He said to me and went back with the butler.

Here I am. Standing alone with the other knights on the training field, wondering what just happened.

Did the prince... blush?
