章 455: I’m like your adorable princess.

"Whenever you're present, I feel like I become your sidekick. I don't like it, not one bit…" Iris murmured while she eyed the troll corpse I decimated.

"We're all the main characters of our stories. Furthermore, how could I be the main attraction in our duo? I'm the fragile little mage and you're my knight in shining armor. In every story, the one who does the protecting is the main character. I'm like your adorable princess."

"I'm not good at restraining my impulses, impulses which are screaming at me to beat you to a pulp, so please don't force me to eliminate myself from the competition." She replied with a threatening growl. I chuckled while raising my hands in surrender. It was best not to annoy this lioness. Unlike my Ayame who I knew would never lash out at me no matter how much I got on her nerves, Iris was a much wilder creature.

Ayame was all bark no bite, while Iris... Not so much.
