"I'm gonna kill you!!"

"Now now, can't we talk about it?"

"DIE!!!"

"I will take that as a no".

Leo charged at me with both his swords drawn. I decided to not use any spells or anything like that. My plan was to exhaust him and when he could barely stand anymore I would force him back to the camp. Then he would be Grets problem again.

I swiftly avoided the blades by jumping backwards. But just as I landed Leo threw one of his swords towards me. I dodged it by bending backwards Matrix-style, causing the sword to imbed itself in the wall behind me, but the sudden movement caused me to fall down on my back.

Not letting go of his chance Leo pinned my arms down by standing on them and aimed his sword down on me. But before he could impale my skull I lifted my legs and used them to push him away from me. He staggered a few steps forward and I took the chance to stand up and gain some distance.

This went on for a while. He chased me around with the sword and I would avoid it, even if just barely sometimes. But for some reason he didn't seem to tire. It was getting bothersome.

"Mistress, do you want me to help you?" Rowan ask.

((Thank you but no thank you Rowan, I've got this under control)).

"...Are you sure mistress?""

((Yes Rowan, I am)).

"REALLY sure?"

"Oy, blockhead! Sstop bothering bosss when she'ss in the middle of fighting!" Morgana shout at Rowan.

"But-"

"Ssshe doessn't need your help!"

"..."

Poor Rowan, I know he just wants to be useful and help out but he needs to realize that I can handle myself. And if I ever get in a pinch I will summon him, he don't need to worry. Maybe we should have a talk. But how do you talk about that kind of stuff? Sigh, how bothersome.

Suddenly something flies by and I feel sharp pain on my left cheek. I touch the place it hurt and when I look at my hand I see blood on the fingertips. I also feel a slight breeze at the left side of my neck so I grab my hair. It used to go down to my waist but now it ends right at the cheek, where the wound are.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

I look up and see Leo, standing without any swords. He glares a little before he charges at me. Ok, I gotta stop this now. I know I said I wont use any spells or stuff but this is getting serious.

Even without any weapons he can still easily kill me, with just his brute strength. I have very low health after all.

I charge my foot with Quake Stomp and when Leos just one meter away from me I RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

The ground starts to shake and Leo falls down on his buttock.

"Nyaahhh!"

... C-C-C-C-CUTE!!! That sound right now was a legitimate cat gi- boy outcry! I-I can't contain myself! I lunge myself towards Leo and pin him down.

"Wh-what are you doing!? Stop!" he shouts.

"No. Think of this as compensation for my hair". I start rubbing his sugoi cat ears.

"Wh-wha-wha-wha!? N-no! Do-don't touch the-them! Nnngh! D-don't rub them like th-that! Nyaaaaaaah!"

---Five Minutes Later---

"Nyahh..."

Leos laying on the floor, unable to move. His face is red like a tomato and he is panting heavily. I guess I went a little bit overboard... Meh.

"...ou dev..." Leo whimpers.

"What you say?"

"You DEVIL!" he says, now shouting the last word. He tries to stand up but he collapses immediately. "Uhnnn..."

I sit down beside him and look at him for a while. I touch his ear once again, but now only slightly. Leo freezes up. This is fun.

"Let's be friends from now on!"

Leo stares at me with teary eyes and for some reason I feel really dirty... But's it's probably nothing.

---Meanwhile inside the Storage---

"Bosss scaress even me sometimess..."

*Hello, Birdie here. I'm sorry for the short chapter. I've had a REALLY long day and I nearly didn't release any at all. I will try to make the next chapter extra long to make up for this short one. Thank you for reading!*
