Chapter 120: Conversations Among Stars (Aria Side)

(Aria Side)

“So, I won’t go under him.”

After finishing the explanation of the situation, Teresa concluded and took a sip of tea.

“…Are you okay with that?”

“Yes. Even if I were to go under him, I currently lack the strength to fight alongside like you two. I also don’t possess the power or position to assist from the rear. Following him, knowing that I would be a burden, would be trampling on his kindness.”

Teresa’s response earned nods from both me and Serena. It was indeed a challenging situation to welcome her in her current state.

Even though we were considering lending a hand if Berg wished for it, if neither Berg nor Teresa desired such a relationship, it might not be necessary.

“People always make things more complicated than they need to be.”

As I was about to change the topic, Ruskdite, transformed from a sword into a monster, gracefully crossed her legs in mid-air, holding my cup and drinking tea.

Startled by Ruskdite’s sudden appearance, Teresa calmed her down, and I looked up, expecting some inappropriate remarks.

“It’s a female’s nature to want to be embraced by a superior male. However, going to such lengths for that is questionable, don’t you think?”

“…While I don’t deny that Berg is charming, can we not steer the conversation in that direction?”

“What are you talking about? It might be the quickest way for him to efficiently extract power from women, but lately, all of you seem to be easily swept away and—Oof!”

A fist made of water struck Ruskdite on the head. Serena, who delivered the blow, stared at Ruskdite with a determined expression.

“Ruskdite, it’s not okay to decide on such matters without confirming with Berg.”

“B-But…”

“And please refrain from casually discussing intimate matters. Those are things to be kept between the individuals involved, aren’t they?”

“Y-Yes, understood. My apologies. Release the fist over my head, please.”

After saying so, Ruskdite raised her hand, and Serena released the water fist. While we managed to silence Ruskdite, there was still…

“T-That you both will be embraced…”

As Teresa blushed, I sighed, wondering how to explain the situation.
