One hour later, the water clock in the room indicated that the allocated time was up.

“It’s about time.”

“I see...” Takahisa said quietly.

In the end, the two had sat on the bed and slowly conversed with each other for the entire hour. They hadn’t discussed anything serious, merely sharing their ages to discover they were the same age, then filling the rest of the time with small talk and trivial thoughts.

Neither Takahisa nor Julia pried into the other’s situation by asking questions. Takahisa hadn’t revealed he was a hero, and Julia hadn’t said anything personal about herself either. Prying too deeply into the other’s situation would create depth and weight to their relationship. And while that could sometimes become an opportunity, at other times, it could become a risk. Fearing that risk, they had kept their distance. But even without any prying, they had felt each other’s warmth in their embrace. That warmth must have been very comforting to Takahisa in his current state. The fact he had met someone easy to talk to, whose silences weren’t weren’t awkward to endure, had probably played a role.

“Thank you. I feel a little calmer after talking to you.” Takahisa thanked Julia with a thin smile on his face. He was still in low spirits from the mistake he had made at the castle, but he had regained some of his composure.

“Really? Good for you,” Julia replied bluntly. She then sighed dramatically. “Ugh, why do I have to pay out of my own pocket to satisfy someone else?”

She was still clinging to Takahisa, possibly to hide her face out of embarrassment.

“Sorry...” Takahisa lowered his gaze out of guilt.

“It’s not something you have to apologize for, okay?” Julia softly placed a hand on Takahisa’s shoulder and extended her arms, creating distance between them. In doing so, the scent of her sweet perfume tickled Takahisa’s nostrils.

“R-Really?” Takahisa hadn’t tried to look at Julia the whole time he was being clung to, but the scent drew his gaze towards her.

“I was the one who dragged you into my room.”

“That’s true...” Takahisa agreed with an amused chuckle.

“Besides...I should thank you.” Julia averted her strong-willed eyes and suddenly thanked him bashfully.

“Huh? What for?”

“You’re the first person to leave without doing anything but talk. It’s the first time I’ve felt like I was treated with respect in this room—the first time I had a proper conversation at all. That’s what for. I’m surprised there are men like you out there,” she said with a cute smile fitting for her age.

“I see...” Enchanted by Julia’s smile, Takahisa’s eyes widened.

“Well, it could just be you’re a loser, considering you didn’t make a move after all the clinging and seducing I did.”

“Sh-Shut up... Wait, you were seducing me?” Takahisa asked, startling with a red face.

“I did wonder when you would push me down. I was clinging to you so much, I was basically asking for it. Didn’t you notice?”

Takahisa swallowed his breath, speechless.

“Oh, are you regretting not making a move sooner?”

“I-I’m not! That’s
