"So... what do you think about Lady Ser—?"

"I don't like her." Neron answered his father flatly.

It was very rare for this boy to interrupt the only man he ever truly respected, but he couldn't help it in this instance.

Serah Crimson genuinely got on his nerves.

"Why don't you like her?" Mordred asked calmly.

It felt like a trick question.

'Why would I like her?' He wanted to yell in response, but he maintained his cool facade.

"She literally picked a fight with me out of nowhere. That's enough to give me a terrible first impression of her."

No... that wasn't quite accurate.

The terrible first impression he had of her had solidified long before they fought.

"You saw how she treated that Inept guy. She has a terrible attitude, a foul mouth, a prideful heart, and... she's just annoying!"

If Neron had to pick his ideal representation of a girl, he would go for Yera.

She was someone kind, considerate, and most often that not... silent.

Her shy and timid nature was endearing, and Neron felt like girls ought to be that way.

'Not like that... that savage!'

Serah was the polar opposite of Yera—his perfect archetype of a woman—so it was no mystery that Neron would come to reset her.

"And we've not even gotten to the part where she forced a kiss on me. That girl... she stole my first kiss."

To be honest, Neron felt strange calling Serah Crimson a girl since she didn't really fit that category.

However, he also couldn't call her a guy since that would be an insult to his gender.

'P-plus, I can't don't want it to seem like I kissed a guy...' He tightly shut his eyes in embarrassment.

The more Neron thought of it, the more this awkward mix of frustration and inescapable fixation arose.

Neron always tended to ignore the things he didn't like. He had done that for Magic for years, and not once did he feel like he was missing out.

However, something about this girl made it impossible for him to ignore her.

It pained him beyond words.

"Well, I'm thinking of having her visit our Estate often. You can also come here regularly. We should set up an entire arrangement about that."

"W-what?! No way!"

Mordred smiled as his son protested, but he wasn't about to budge on this issue.

"My mind is made up, Neron. You might dislike her now, but no one knows the future."

"I would never like her in a million years." Neron retorted, fully certain of his position.

"You sure about that? I heard the girls in the Crimson Family grow up to be very very attractive. You might come to regret what you said just now..."

"W-what does that have to do with anything!"

At this point, Neron was getting agitated. He didn't know why the thought of getting along with this girl made him so distressed.

He hated feeling this way. UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

"Hahaha! Look at my cute boy. Don't worry about it. Just give it time and see..."

Neron sighed in powerlessness.

He knew his father had already made up his mind, so there was nothing he could do about it.

"There's a good boy!" Mordred patted Neron's head, and that seemed to cheer him up a little.

"I only did that because you didn't answer the first time!"

"And what rule says I'm supposed to answer?" Neron lifted his hand and began looking at his hand in a self-important fashion.

He was clearly doing this to get on her nerves.

"I came all the way here to see you, you know? The least you could do is respond when I call you!"

"Ahh... is that so?" Neron raises a brow, almost as if he couldn't care less.

"Y-you...! I don't do this for anyone else, you know? And yet you'd treat me like this?!"

Neron shrugged slightly.

He wanted to tell her that he was the only friend she had, so it was only natural that he would be the only person she acted like this for.

'But nah... it's too easy.' He laughed internally.

"That's it! Get over here... I'll teach you a lesson!"

Serah lifted her sleeves as she clasped her hands together.

"Oooh! I'm so scared!" Neron responded with extreme sarcasm.

This wouldn't be the first time that Serah wanted to teach him a 'lesson.'

But they both knew how it always ended.

"Hmph! Be arrogant all you want, Neron! But it'll be different this time!"

This too was something that Serah was fond of saying.

Honestly, they had done this so many times that Neron felt like he was stuck in a time-loop.

"Pfft! Is that so? Then let's hope you can catch me this time!"

As always, they were starting their time together with a little game called 'Catcher!'

~WHOOOOSH!~

Neron instantly coated himself in blue energy and rushed out of the building, destroying the thick walls that separated the manor's interior from the outside.

"Y-you! Wait for me!" Serah's body glowed red that instant and she also rushed after Neron.

~BOOOM!~

Instead of using the same hole that Neron had destroyed on his way out, Serah made her own and flew out.

One could only feel pity for the ones who were responsible for fixing stuff like this.

However, it was probably too early to feel bad for them.

After all...

~BOOOOOM!~

"Get back here, Neron!"

~KABOOOOOOOOM!~

"Haha! Neveeerrrr!"

~VWOOOOOOMMMM!~

"Y-YOUUUUUU!!!"

... The destruction was only just beginning.
