Chapter 79 - Confrontation

"I said that you're my lover in front of my father!"

The shock in Vicar's faces after he heard what she said, he almost couldn't believe what he has just heard from my owner. I bet that he didn't expect that at all.

"What! You said that I'm your lover... no wonder they are searching for me."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say your name... it's just that..."

"There's no point in running, let's just confront your father and tell him the truth... problem solved."

When Vicar was about to leave the adventurer guild, my owner holds onto his arm as to stop him to meet Sir Allen.

"Can you let go of me?" Vicar tried to remove Aliss hands from his arm.

"You can't..." She told Vicar.

Vicar feels confused about why Aliss didn't want him to confront her father about this issue. He then thinks that maybe Aliss loves him, it could be the reason but it's just too hard to believe. Vicar musters his courage and asks Aliss to confirm his thoughts.

"Aliss? You're acting weird... is this because you have feelings for me?"

Hearing those words made my owner laugh, she just couldn't believe that Vicar just asked her that question.

"Of course, not... Why would I have feelings towards my only childhood friend."

I feel like that this was an anime show, the part when the childhood friend gets rejected by the one he loves. It has so many similarities thus makes me remember about the new romance anime that I could've watched if I've not died. But this is much better than the life I had in the old world, being able to live in a world of fantasy was my dream after all.

"So why are you stopping me?... Wait a minute, what's the reason for you to mention me as your lover..."

Aliss seems to be hesitant about telling Vicar the reason but I told Aliss to be honest with him or it will just cause more confusion and problem to her father and Vicar himself. I don't know whether Aliss had listened to what I had said earlier to her, if not this situation might get worse.

"Aliss! Just tell him the reason already... you know that hiding the truth will only make it worse." I say to Aliss and hoped that she would tell Vicar.

"Hello, Aliss! Aliss! Are you spacing out right now...?"

"No! It's just that the ring told me to tell you the truth about what had happened."

"You should listen to him, I deserve to know..."

"Alright I'll tell you, but please don't be mad at me."

"Mad? Involving me in a problem is what you always did since when we were young... so why should I be mad?"

"The reason behind it was about my marriage with Linceo."

It was news to Vicar and he almost didn't believe her but Aliss managed to convince him anyways. He just couldn't help but laugh at Aliss after she convinced him.

"You! Getting Married... Hahaha"

"Why are you laughing at me, you dumb Vicar..." Aliss punched Vicar's arm hard and which quickly ceased his laughter.

"Ouch! that hurts... I just couldn't help it but laugh out loud as I simply couldn't believe that a rough girl like you is getting married, do you even have a feminine side...?"

"I can still kick you in this dress, I think it's just you being blind... I've become a proper lady now..." Aliss then began to show her feminine side to Vicar.

The stuff Vicar said earlier must be because of my owner having a flat chest and acting like a boy in their childhood. I wish I could've seen Aliss as a child. But I do agree with my owner as only a blind man could not see how beautiful she is right now.

As she has a slender waist, whistling down from her bust as smoothly as the water flowing down a river. The bends of Aliss h.i.p.s and what more is her voluptuous b.r.e.a.s.t that you could suffocate in happily. Of course, her red hair makes her stand out even more.

Thinking about that just makes me feels like a pervert, I then realize that I had no girlfriend in my past life. The only thing I had to fill in those gaps was my anime body pillows. I do think that it is quite sad that I had reincarnated as a ring in this world as it makes my chance to get a lover, 0%.

"Do you still believe that I'm not a proper lady?" She continues to show her feminine side to Vicar.

"Please stop shoving it at me, I do believe you but I always thought that you've become a rough lady because you wanted to be an adventurer... it seems like you had given up on that idea..."

Vicar did remember about the promise, he sure has a better memory than I. The only things that I could store unlimitedly in my brain were my waifu's name or just stuff related to anime.

"You still remember about it?"

"Of course, I remember, we made a promise back then..."

"I still want to be an adventurer but..." Aliss started to recall back on what had happened in the forest, she was traumatized after that incident. She looked scared and went silent after thinking back to those memories.

"Are you okay? You don't seem to be alright..."

Then someone I know came from behind Vicar and joined in the conversation and the person was Sir Esmir.

"Ohh! I thought that I had seen the young lady earlier and it seems that I did."

"Sorry, who are you?" Vicar asks Sir Esmir.

"I'm Sir Esmir, an adventurer of this guild."

"That's all? I thought that you were someone close to Aliss... please don't interfere with our conversation."

"Ohh! I apologize but it just seems that the lady close to you is the talk of the guild right now..."

"What are you talking about..."

"You don't know that the girl was saved by the bronze knight in the Dalegueil Forest? Sir Bronze knight reported to the guild that the girl had her body occupied by an Elder Banshee and because of that, many of the adventurers here wanted to know more about it."

This new information was much more shocking than earlier, Vicar now knows why Aliss isn't answering his questions about becoming an adventurer. He didn't know that Aliss has been possessed by an Elder Banshee. A creature that only exists in the destruction era, an entity that has an enormous amount of magic.

That kind of creature was the one who possessed her so of course, she was scared and traumatized. Even I was scared when I first encountered it as I've never seen it before but Aliss had it worse.

"Aliss! Is that true..."

Aliss didn't answer his questioning but she instead just nodded her head. Vicar obviously knows now that the story is true.

"Is that the reason why you don't want to be an adventurer anymore?"

"I still want to be one but I think I don't have the courage anymore..." Aliss started to open her mouth and starts talking again.

"Courage lost because of fear, I've seen many people like that before but they still managed to restore their courage back." Sir Esmir said and left the place.

"Hmmm... Don't think about it anymore Aliss, what's more, important now is about your marriage..."

Aliss looks into Vicar's eyes as she said thanks for comforting her.

"Uhm, where I left off in the conversation ?" Aliss asked.

"Umm... I think you left at the marriage stuff..."

"Okay, I'll just be honest with you, my mother always taught me that it's never good to lie and we should start by not lying."

"Do you want to see me marry someone I don't love? Aren't you my friend..."

"But again, lying about me being your lover isn't fitting well for me. If we're just honest with your father I think that he will understand."

"I know my father, even though he probably would understand. He will still proceed with the marriage as long as there is a benefit in it, that's how my father works."

Suddenly, it feels like they were having a lover quarrel. The situation has changed yet again but I'm somewhat relieved that Aliss is forgetting about the incident while she was arguing with Vicar. I don't want to see my owner traumatized again.

"Listen Aliss! We really shouldn't lie about this... I'm indeed your friend but I can't..."

"I will give you gold if you play along..." Aliss then tried to persuade Vicar with a different method until Vicar agrees with pretending to be her lover.

"You're bribing me now? Hmmm, I know you're a strong-headed girl but we need to talk sense to you... it's impossible but then again, we are friends. Okay fine, I'll pretend to be your lover."

Aliss was so happy that Vicar agreed to it that she immediately hugged Vicar. Vicar felt uncomfortable being hugged by her so he tries to push Aliss away but he couldn't as Aliss hug him tightly.
