I have lied about my amnesia and being stranded on this planet.
Hearing this Fay made a really dumb face. Like she completely believes me. She is showing me a pitiful smile.
"Don't worry. Everything will be just fine." (Fay)
She says and embraces me. She is rubbing my head and trying to show me some pity.
Is she just dumb or is she like me? I can't get a read on her. But now that she has embraced me, I feel something hitting me.
Two mounds are pushing against me. I totally feel them.
She is petite. So I thought she would be flat. But she has nice curves. Still, she is short.
About 150 centimetres. And her expressions are like a doll. Calculated till the very end.
Well, that's my first impression of her. But first impressions aren't everything. She might show something weird or something deadly.
"Mmm...ummmm....can you….let me...go now?"
I ask her. Her twin mounds hitting me is nice and all but it might lead to trouble if it went on for a bit longer.
I have gained resistance to temptation and such but it is still draining.
"Ooo..." She noticed her actions and let go of me immediately.
Her face turned bright red like a cherry and it looked like she might just burst.
"I appreciate your feelings. It made me forget my bad dreams."
I have to keep the conversation going. I can't let the momentum die.
"I am glad that you are happy." (Fay)
She held both her hands near her chest and said happily. I can't understand her. She is still going on about my troubles.
Is she really like this or it's an act? I can't lower my guard. She might strike when my guard is low.
After all they do say, beware of women. I have to be aware of women or I might get tricked.
"So, where are you from?"
I ask the most obvious question.
"Jupiter. I am from that star." (Fay)
"Eh….." I am shocked. Jupiter is the gas giant in our solar system that is enormous but it made of gas.
How can anyone live there?
But, I have to act like nothing special happened.
"Anyway, I have been watching you for some time now. You don't like them?"
"It's not like I don't. It's just that they only treat me like a princess. But I also want to go on normal adventures and do normal things." (Fay)
She makes a displeased face. Her statement and her expression clears one thing.
She is treated like a doll princess and she is tired of that. So she decided to take a stroll.
"Must be tough being a princess."
I try to sympathise.
"No. It feels sarcastic when they do that. I am born from the Kings' fourteenth concubine. I already have more than 20 elder siblings. I am not even someone important and yet they call me Princess. It feels humiliating." (Fay)
Her face shows a variety of emotions. Disgust, anger, grief, regret- she showed every last one of them.
"I can't say I understand. I am a commoner and I don't like these complicated subjects. Must be rough always acting like a perfect girl."
I get it. She is trying to run away. Should I help her? She still hasn't raised her guard.
"How about this? I take care of them for you."
I propose this. This way, I can get rid of those Rangers and get her to trust me.
"You can? They are capable fighters." (Fay)
"Tell me their weaknesses and strengths. I can totally defeat them. Also one thing…."
I stop to ask the obvious.
"What is it?" (Fay)
"Do they have a family or something? Someone who is waiting for each of them."
"No. They are all chosen from an orphanage and specifically enhanced to be better than your regular human. They are orphans and no one is waiting for them." (Fay)
She gave me more information than I needed. But I can now dispose of them.
"Then let's go." I say to her and leave. She is following me and we reach the landing site.
"But how strong are they?"
I still don't know about their strength. So what tactic should I use? Or should I just ambush them?
"If you are worried about strength then it's normal. They are not strong enough to lift this ship. At most they can carry four people in their backs." (Fay)
Four people? That's about the same as a bear. So our lifting strength should be comparable. And judging from that, they are almost similar to me.
"I see. I guess, I should ambush them. It would be troublesome if they were to attack all at once."
"Then, I will set them up. I will call the captain. You take care of him. And then you can clean up the rest." (Fay)
Smiling sadistically she says this. I am really worried. Did I just come into contact with a bad woman? I shouldn't trust her fully.
"Ok. Then call red. I'll be waiting behind the tree and keeping an eye in things."
"Yes." She tilts her head and smiles. I don't know. Why does it feel like she has no real personality?
She is just putting on a fake act.
I go behind the tree and wait there. I will jump on him from behind and end him in one fell swoop.
Or should I try and have a prolonged fight? If I fight him directly, I might get used to battling humans.
I have trained but only with animals. How would an intelligent human would respond is completely unknown to me.
I will wait and see. Seeing them again would help me determine my strategy. But I would like an ambush.
And about 10 minutes later, I see someone approaching. Red hair like before, it was him.
He is approaching hurriedly. What did she tell him?
Anyway, I should prepare for the attack.
