- Karma POV -
Aster: So Mr. Karma Lowell, would you like to join the student council?
...Sh*t.
Karma: Umm... May I know the reason why first?
I asked nervously and sweating in the presence of all 5 capture targets.
Aster: Eh? You should know by now, don't you?
Karma: Huh? What do you mea- Ooohhh...
My Fire Magic...
Aster: Since you're the only one who has a fire element, we decided if you would've like to join us? But if you refused, at least we all could still be friends.
Karma: Ahaha....haha...
I don't want to anger ANY of the capture targets or they'll rip me apart... Oh wait, I have more power than them, but still...
Karma: Can I...think about it?
Aster: Of course. We can even escort, defend and protect your friend, Mary, if you agree to join.
Karma: ...
This is not I was expecting... But this could be a good chance for Mary to go one of the routes. Still, Should I? Aster's smiling at me, waiting for my response. I felt a little shiver from his smile.
Julius: Aster, may I ask something?
Aster: Of course, you're the crown prince.
Huh? Wonder what's the crown prince gonn-
Julius: I would like to fight him.
Karma: Eh?
I blinked a few times while our crown prince is smiling. Oh right... No one can match him, so he's looking for a rival that can match him in power and strength. But me??
Aster: Hmm... I don't know if-
Julius: If he wins, he's qualified to join us.
Karma: If I lose?
Julius: Of course, you're not qualified and we all can pretend nothing happened.
Karma: Hmm...
Lloyd: Ghrr... I'm huuuungry~!!!
Thanks for the interruption, Candy Prince...
Aster: Of course, we'll get you some snacks, Prince Zweetsong.
Julius: So... Sir Lowell, what would it be?
Karma: I uhhh...
I look at Aster and Ace gave me the looks that tells me...
"He won't change his mind"
...There's no escaping this one, isn't it?
Karma: *sigh* Alright...
Julius: Then, We'll battle tomorrow.
Karma: T-Tomorrow?!
Julius: Oh and...
Karma: Hm?
Julius: Is Mary your fiance?
Karma: ... What? No.
After that, I gone to my classroom and looking for Mary. She wasn't there. Oh no, don't tell me... I use ⟨Scan: Area⟩ to see where she's at. Phew, she's nearby the door.
Karma: Mary, there you are! I was looking-
The next thing she did...was not I did not expected. AT ALL!!!
She did the Kabe-don... But in reverse?!
WHAT THE F*CK!!?? I look at her face but she's not facing me, it's like she has that shadow over her face like a... H*ntai protagonist... Oh God...
Mary: Did the crown prince...really challenged you?
Karma: W-Wow, I see rumor spread fast... Hahaha...
WE ENDED THAT TALK LIKE A FEW MINUTES AGO!!! HOW DID IT- AAAHHHH!!!!
Mary: So it is true...
Her face comes closer like we're about to k-k-k-k-k...kiss!?
Karma: Y-Yeah...
She hugged me? She hugged me tightly, crying.
Karma: M-Mary?
Mary: I-I don't want you...to get hurt... *sobbing*
You're asking me to do a No Damage Run? Sure... No WAIT WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY THAT!?!?! I need to calm her down somehow, so I started comforting her.
Karma: There there...
She calmed down. Ehehe... She's so childish...
Mary: Promise me...
Karma: Hm?
Mary: Promise me that you'll get back safely.
She's straight up seriously asking me...
Karma: I promise.
Mary: ...Pinky Swear?
She hold up her Pinky finger. Goddamnit...
Karma: Yes... Pinky Swear...
We connect our pinkies, promising each other. She then hold my hand which made me questioned.
Karma: Mary?
Mary: Can you...make that "Curry" later?
Oh right, when we're kids, I did make Curry for her and she seem to like it. I did teach the recipe to the chefs at Duke Roxas's house but she said it wasn't taste the same. But since I can do anything like crafting... cooking... cleaning... baking... And with magic and all the skills granted from the god of this world... I can make some money just in case we get stripped away our noble rank.
Karma: Sure...
"Is Mary your fiance?"
Tch, asking me that? it's not like I like her anything...
