Chapter 21: Pretend Friend

Fallon can't believe he is here now, running after Lady who apparently is compassionate enough to help a freaking bee go back to its nest where more of its kind and those venomous stings await.

"Are you kidding me?! You can't go there! They can hurt you!" he continued to reason out with her, hoping that she would just abandon this ridiculous idea so that he could already finish what he went there for.

"Wait a minute. Don't tell me…" she then said and stopped all of the sudden before turning to face him with a look of disbelief, and he came to a still, thinking that she must have thought of him as a coward now.

"Could it be that you're concerned for me? Oh, how sweet~!"

"W-What? It's not that. I'm not… I don't even care about you-"

"Seems like you've got a soft side after all! And here I thought you're just edgy!"

His eyes narrowed a little and twitched in annoyance.

This isn't going as he has planned. This isn't what he wants to happen at all.
