Bab 654: Futile

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cynthia seemed to have no idea that the more defensive she was, the more she stimulated Emilia's desire to tease her. Luckily for the raven-haired girl, however, her partner decided to be merciful this time, and aside from pulling the indignant girl into her lap after settling down on her cushion mountain, she actually didn't do anything too outrageous.

In fact, the usually willful 'villainess' even listened to her partner's 'scolding' like a meek little girl, and had it not been for a slightly lazy hum that gave away the fact that she was dozing off at the end, Cynthia might have even felt guilty for going 'too far'.

"Are you even listening?!"

Emilia giggled as she held the raven-haired girl tighter to prevent her from escaping in anger. "Sorry, sorry, ahh… I couldn't help it, after all."

Cynthia huffed, clearly not pleased. "You really did come here just to play around, didn't you?"
