“Have you actually gone crazy?” Eugene glared at Noir with a dumbfounded expression on his face.4

There was bullshit, and then there was what Noir had just said, which had gone far beyond anything that Eugene could comprehend.1

Play around? Together? How absurd! Until now, he had already become far more involved with Noir than he felt was necessary. Eugene no longer wanted any further entanglement with Noir, whether by doing things together, making shared memories, or sharing emotional connections.0

Was it because Eugene wanted to avoid any needless provocation from Noir? Of course, there was also that reason, but wasn’t it strange in the first place to interact more than necessary with an enemy that you were determined to kill.0

“Don’t be like that,” Noir said with a grin as she pulled on Eugene’s arms.1

Unlike her expression, tone, and attitude, her grip was so strong that even Eugene couldn’t shake her off immediately. But this fact just left Eugene feeling even more dumbfounded.3

Just how much did Noir want to play around with him to put such a level of strength in her grip? Was this really something she should put such power into?0

“Why are you being so clingy?” Eugene complained.0

“Well, who knows, why do you think I’m doing this?” Noir said coyly.1

In fact, Noir herself couldn’t figure out the exact reason for her current behavior. Until now, she had bothered Eugene like this many times before, but Noir had kept herself extremely cool-headed every time she did so. Although Noir had offered up Eugene a few lewd temptations, they had all been done jokingly, and whenever Eugene rejected her, she wouldn’t linger on it for too long and knew when to step back.3

However, currently… in a rare and strange case for her, Noir didn’t want to do that.0

“It’s a strange feeling,” Noir whispered to herself as she tilted her head in confusion.7
