95 Couples?

For the next few days I continued to train with her 

"100KM Run!" 

"Yes!" 

"1000 Pushups!" 

"Yes!" 

"750 Squats!" 

"Yes!" 

"200 Crunches!" 

"Y-Yes...!" 

"300 Sit ups!" 

"Y...es...!" 

"200 Reverse Crunches!" 

Why does that even exist in this world! 

"Y....e...s..." 

"That's all for today." 

With each day that passed, I'd collapse after training.

"John, what's wrong?" Asked kurt as me try to finish my meal 

I tried grabbing on to the spoon, but my hands and arms were too sore to do anything 

"Ah... I heard that you've started training with someone, could that be the reason?" He asked 

So he found out 

"Yeah, it's pretty intense, but would probably be considered normal for most people" 

"I think you may be overestimating the definition of normal, especially if it leaves someone like you in this state" 

"Haha,,, yeah,,," 

I looked around the table and everyone was here except for eleanor. Ariel, Serena, Kurt's wife and kurt were here. Including the maid but she wasn't eating anything, just watching to make sure there weren't any problems. 

It was the second last day before the first day of school, I wanted to be able to talk to her once, but I've been exhausting myself daily, and haven't had the time. I'll do it tomorrow! I have training after this meal. 

"Ah..." I muttered as I accidentally dropped the spoon 

God... Looks like I won't be able to eat anything today... 

Right when I had given up, Ariel moved her chair closer to mine 

"Ariel?" 

With her spoon, she picked up some of the beef from the beef stew soup, and said. "Say... Ahnn..." as she moved the spoon closer to his mouth 

"A-Ahnn..." 

I opened my mouth and Ariel fed me through the spoon. 

Her face was so red it looked like it was burning, as for me, I couldn't really tell what face I was making, but I was definitely embarrassed 

Wasn't that an indirect kiss? 

While I was thinking that, Ariel picked up more beef and soup with the spoon and brought it closer and closer to my mouth 

Without saying anything, I opened it and she fed me again. 

"mn... it's good" I said as I chewed 

The beef stew was really good, the more I chewed the more I could feel the flavour... Rich people food for you. 

Then all of the sudden, Serena moved her chair closer to mine 

"Ariel, that was unfair." Said Serena as she grabbed her spoon and used it to pick up some of my beef stew soup 

"Hehe, you need to be faster serena" replied Ariel 

Serena then pointed her spoon towards my mouth, with an intimidating expression, without saying anything she just kept it pointed 

"Uhm, Serena? What's wr-" 

It still tasted really good. Serena's expression changed from an intimidating one to a soft one as she asked "How was It?" 

"It was good" I replied 

Now I just had an indirect kiss with Serena, don't they care about these things? Or do they just not know? 

The only downside was how embarassed we got, after all, kurt and his wife were watching. 

I looked over at the to see what they were doing as they were recently quiet, and was surprised by what I saw 

"Say ahnn, kurt..." Said his wife 

"T-The kids are watching..." Said kurt slightly embarassed 

"They were doing the same, a second ago, Say ahnn" She said with a smile as she moved her spoon closer to his mouth 

"Ahnn..." 

Kurt opened his mouth and she inserted the spoon, suddenly the air around them got more romantic... 

Well I guess it's normal for them to do that, Couples usually share food or feed each otherafter all. 

Eh? Doesn't that mean the three of us are more like couples than friends or party members? I mean we've kissed before right? When I was drowning... Although that was cpr, Wait have we even kissed? 

Surely I would have realised... And besides, even if we had, there's no way we could be a couple... Serena doesn't hold any romantic emotions towards me, and Ariel probably only things of me as an older brother or something... 

And besides... If one of us became a couple, what would happen to the other? The vibe in the party would be different... Does that mean it's best not to date them? 

Well it's not like they would want to in the first place but... Let's say if they would... I wonder what having a girlfriend would be like... 

"I feel like it'll probably be exactly like this..." I muttered 

"What do you mean?" Asked Ariel as she brought her spoon close to my mouth 

"Ah, I was just thinking how the three of us act more like couples than friends" I replied 

"Wha-?" Said Serena as she suddenly lowered the spoon 

With bright red cheeks she said "L-Listen here, we're just helping out our precious party leader, it doesn't make us a couple, do you underst-" 

Before she could finish, Ariel interrupted as she said "That sounds nice" 

Wha- does that mean she's okay with it? 

Everyone's attention then turned to her which caused her to start feeling embarassed and her cheeks to redden up" 

"A-Ah I mean, if we look like we're couples then that means we're close, which is a good thing!" Said Ariel 

"O-Oh so that's what you meant..." I muttered 

"Yeah..." she muttered 

After that, things got to awkward so I asked Ariel to stop feeding me 

As for Serena, she suddenly stopped talking after Ariel interrupted her, but I could have sworn I heard her say, "You won this round..." 

*** 

"Hey, master, what are we doing today?" 

"Do You start school in 2 days?" She asked 

"Yeah" I replied 

"We'll be doing light training for today." 

"T-Thank god... Hey master can I ask something?" 

Without saying anything she nodded 

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?"
