77 Chapter 77 - Tainted an innocent maiden
Zeph's POV
As I casually strolled towards Diana, a mischievous grin played on my lips.
"N-no, don't come closer,"
She stammered, desperately retreating against the wall, clutching a pile of clothes. I couldn't resist the urge to tease her a bit but held it in.
After all, I just wanted to catch her off guard to gain the upper hand in the deal she is about to make.
I had already anticipated her approach, but after today, seeing her sitting at the same desk as me, I understood that she was cornered. 'Guess it should be enough.'
"Thanks, man. I was just searching for this one," I said, reaching for my underwear buried within the pile, trying to put an end to this whole act.
But when I noticed the shock and bewilderment in her eyes, her sapphire eyes and hair that seemed to be in a boyish style, still not enough to hide her beauty, I couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. 'This is priceless.'
My underwear in hand, I glanced at Diana, who was struggling to regain her composure, her face flushed as a crimson hue adorned her.
Her eyes fixated on a part of me that had taken her by surprise.
After all, I too was surprised when I noticed this change after losing my body weight and realized the reason for the flush on the maids who bathed me.
Finding this opportunity and her face more alluring, I wanted to tease her more. And there was one more reason — in the novel, it was written that the most disciplined and determined of all the heroines was Diana Reinguard.
Now, looking at her like this, I couldn't help it and pushed her while I pressed my hands against the wall on either side of her and directly looked into those silver eyes that had a flicker of shyness and a hint of weakness she was trying to hide.
"W-what?" she stammered, her voice trembling.
"Huh, Danny, what happened, man? What's with that girly look you have?" I couldn't resist teasing her more, knowing that I had caught her off guard.
Her eyes widened, and I could see the panic in them. I enjoyed seeing her squirm about hiding her identity, but I couldn't push it too far.
"W-what are you talking about, Z-zeph? I was just surprised by your sudden arrival," she stammered, avoiding eye contact.
I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt as I watched her struggle. I leaned back and finally decided to put her out of her misery.
"Um, oh, sorry, man. I just wanted to get my underwear. As you can see, I'm naked."
"Y-yeah," she responded, clearly flustered.
I quickly averted my gaze, unable to meet his piercing golden eyes. I couldn't afford to look into those eyes; it felt like he could see right through me.
My heart raced, thumping as though it might burst from my chest.
"Um, oh, sorry, man. I just wanted to get my underwear, as you can see, I'm naked."
"Y-yeah."
Of course, I could see that he was naked, especially when he kept following my gaze, and that thing dangled like a pendulum. I wished he'd just put on some pants.
"Whatever. So, what's your name?"
"It's dian—danny"
I gulped, and by mistake, I let my real name slip out.
I dared a quick glance at him, hoping he hadn't noticed.
But he was just... wearing his underwear while adjusting that thing inside it with his hands.
I couldn't help but wonder if every guy was like this.
"Sorry, you know, there's an issue with these big ones. They're stubborn and don't go in that easily."
Was it a fact, I don't know but I couldn't decline it; he would definitely get suspicious if I did.
So, I forced a neutral expression and replied, "Oh, yeah, mine too, s-same." I looked at his bulge in his underwear before adding, "I mean, it's smaller than yours."
'Why is this happening on the first day?' I wanted to cry. It was turning out to be the worst day of my life, and all I wanted was to focus on my sword, not that thing.
"It's okay, man. Yours is like a dagger, and mine is a sword, hahaha."
'S-sword...' I thought, suppressing a shudder. "Sniff... sniff."
I hate him.
I just want to get out of this place.
