Akira Mado's sudden confession had already made Lancer a bit at a loss. Seeing the tears flowing unconsciously from Akira Mado's eyes made his heart tighten even more.
He raised his hand, intending to help Akira Mado wipe them away, but she directly pushed him away.
Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and sniffing, Akira Mado gradually regained control of her emotions. She then looked at Lancer again with a serious gaze.
"Lancer, you are an idiot! You will never know how much others worry about you when you're taking risks, and you really didn't notice my feelings..."
Lancer truly didn't know how to defend himself on this matter. In his opinion, Akira Mado was actually no different from Amon Koutarou; she was his friend. After all, he had never thought in that direction. In his mind, with his 'reputation being ruined,' 'knowing nothing but fighting,' and 'missing for almost 3 years,' he couldn't imagine why Akira Mado would like him.
"I'm sorry..."
"You don't need to apologize. It's my own mistake. I forgot that you are an 'idiot.' If I don't say it, you probably would never have noticed, right? So, I won't wait needlessly anymore..."
While saying this, Akira Mado directly tore off the tie on her uniform with her other hand.
With Akira Mado's somewhat bold action, her impeccably neat ladies' suit began to become a bit messy, but Lancer had no time to focus on these things, because------
"Wait! Akira! Calm down, I..."
Lancer words were cut short as his eyes widened, because Akira Mado actually kissed him directly, and Lancer blocked her with one hand against her collarbone. However, the arm strength that could easily twist an ordinary person's neck reached its limit in less than two seconds.
"I am perfectly calm. Lancer, you idiot, you don't know how attractive you are. Just like how men pursue excellent women, we women are also pursuing excellent men. I've made up my mind, so I will absolutely not let go! I've already asked the doctor. Your body muscles have basically returned to normal, but you can't move. It should be because of the change you had earlier, right? So..."
"Snap~!"
Lancer, whose hospital gown was directly torn open, was utterly confused. He didn't expect Akira Mado to directly tear off his hospital gown after giving up on kissing him. She even tore the buttons off due to excessive force.
Gripping Lancer left wrist with her right hand, she did not continue to press forward. Instead, she gently stroked the wound on Lancer chest with her left hand.
When Lancer stayed at the Mado house before, Akira Mado had accidentally seen Lancer upper body. At that time, Lancer upper body was basically not much different from 3 years ago, but now, looking at the various scars on his chest, her expression became somewhat serious. Especially when she looked at the few 'fatal wounds' on his chest, her biting lips trembled slightly.
"Phew~"
It wasn't until the end that she let out a breath and then looked at Lancer with an extremely complicated expression.
"Are these wounds all from the time you were 'missing'?"
"That's right, but Akira... mmph!!"
The 'Weakness' DEBUFF was getting closer to disappearing, and Lancer decided to use his 'perfect rhetoric' to stall for a while, but what he didn't expect was that Akira Mado actually kissed him directly when he spoke.
Akira Mado's lips were very soft, and perhaps because she was wearing lipstick, there was a faint fruity scent, but in the end, Lancer felt a faint taste of blood in his mouth...
The previously noisy room fell silent again. Akira Mado, who had always had a strong expression, now looked a bit awkward, but the faint blood on her lips made her look even more seductive.
It can be said that Akira Mado was extremely resolute in her decision to 'night attack' Lancer this time. She not only confirmed in advance that Lancer ward was a high-level soundproof room but also checked Lancer physical condition with the doctor. Finally, she directly controlled Lancer body. She even watched several 'study materials' in advance to ensure the subsequent 'smooth operation.'
However, she was fully prepared, but she never calculated that she couldn't even 'kiss' properly. Just now, in a moment of excitement, she even bumped her lips against Lancer.
But just as she was considering how to ease the awkward situation, she felt a hand suddenly clasp her waist, and then------
"Ah~!"
Before she could react, she was pulled down, and Lancer left hand, which she had controlled, immediately broke free from her right hand and pressed against her collarbone, preventing her from directly hitting Lancer face.
There was no doubt that Lancer 'Weakness' state had been lifted at this moment.
Because of Lancer left hand, the distance between the two was less than the width of a hand. Both could almost feel the other's breath.
"Akira, don't play with fire..."
Although Lancer tried hard to control himself, his slightly dry voice and hot breath made Akira Mado close her eyes without hesitation.
Looking at the opponent's slightly trembling lips and eyebrows, Lancer knew that the opponent was not as strong as she claimed. Akira Mado, who had never kissed before and had never even had a boyfriend, had prepared herself mentally, but facing this first time, she truly couldn't maintain true composure.
Akira Mado closing her eyes was tantamount to handing over the initiative to Lancer. At this moment, she was like a criminal awaiting sentencing. The reason she dared to act directly was based on the premise that Lancer couldn't resist. She truly didn't know if she could still be as aggressive as she was just now if Lancer resisted.
It wasn't until the hot breath gradually approached and her lips were completely occupied that she opened her eyes in surprise and then saw Lancer extremely serious gaze...
But soon, her eyes were involuntarily closed again, and her breathing became heavier and heavier. It was obvious that Akira Mado, who had never kissed before, was already slightly suffocated by this somewhat long kiss.
When their lips separated, Akira Mado's lips were slightly red, but what was more noticeable was the silver thread hanging down between the two until it... broke.
"Snap~"
"Huff~ huff~"
Akira Mado's breathing was heavy, but she still unconsciously pulled at Lancer clothes, but at this moment, her wrist was clasped by Lancer...
"I'm very happy that you like me, Akira..."
"So I don't want to take your first time in a place like this..."
Lancer eyes were extremely serious at this moment, and Akira Mado's body completely softened until she completely collapsed onto Lancer. She had been through too much stimulation today. Perhaps it was due to exhaustion, or perhaps the man beside her gave her enough sense of security, or maybe both, she felt her eyelids incredibly heavy until they finally closed.
Lancer, leaning on the bed rail, looked at Akira Mado, who was asleep in his arms, and rubbed his brow with a headache.
Maybe he really was an idiot for not noticing the other person's feelings all this time, but he was indeed genuinely happy to be confessed to by her. However, the thought of already being in relationships with more than one woman made his brow ache.
But then the problem arose again. If he didn't know, it would be fine, but the problem was that now he did. The thought of rejecting her and her eventually sleeping peacefully in another man's arms one day made his heart ache repeatedly.
"I really am a greedy bastard."
Although he muttered to himself, the arm holding Akira Mado did not loosen in the slightest...
Looking at Akira Mado in his arms, he subconsciously leaned close to her ear------
"Although I'm a greedy bastard, I still can't lie to myself. I like you too... Akira."
Just then, a faint smile appeared on Akira Mado's face, who was resting in Lancer arms, as if she was thinking of something happy. And looking at her smile, a wry smile appeared on his face.
'I hope Mr. Mado doesn't chop me up...'
