As I start to slump from the shock, which naturally startles Laurier,
Master comes to retrieve me faster than I can follow with my eyes. I’m still
crackling and charred as he lifts me over his shoulder and forcibly pulls me
out of my encounter with Laurier.
“Wh-why did you do that…?!”
“Making arrangements for an encounter? Are you looking down on your
date with Lady Syr, you harebrained fool?”
“I-I’m sorry…!”
“…Also, I suspect if you interact with that elf any further, things will
only become even more complicated.”
C-complicated…?
I can’t speak or move because the numbness from the shock hasn’t
totally worn off, but I am a little confused by that.
“Put simply, there are few beings more troublesome than an elf whose
feelings have awakened.”
Master says nothing more, leaving it at that.
I guess I’ll never find out—
“On to your next target. Your live practice will continue with a new
woman.”
And with that, he carries me off to the next battlefield.
My battle isn’t over yet…

Bell had suddenly collapsed, and then what seemed like a shadow ran by
in an instant, and then he was gone. Laurier stood there dumbstruck,
questioning whether she had hallucinated it all.
“No…it can’t have just been my imagination.”
Confirming she still had his coat draped over her shoulders, a slight smile
crossed her lips.
She hugged the coat gently, as if it still held his warmth, her cheeks
adorned in a light shade of red.
“Ahhh, Bell…! I wonder when we can meet again…”
The elven face that was normally severe and cool had melted into bliss.
This was the birth of another of the white rabbit’s most ardent fans.
