Ling Xin woke up soon after that.
"Mm…ngh, huh?"
She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was my back. I had been sitting in front of her, protecting her from the snowstorm.
"Finally awake?"
"… Xuan Kai-kun?"
I sighed. "What's with the 'kun'? You're not a demihuman. Humans don't use honorifics like that."
"Eh, I just thought it's cute… hm, still, you saved me, huh?" she murmured, then suddenly latched onto my back and whispered into my ear seductively.
"Ara ara~ could it be… you've fallen for my charms?"
I sent her an unamused glance and pried her hands off of me as the other girls watched on in jealousy, eyes filled with killing intent. "If you're able to flirt like that, it's clear you've recovered."
"Hehe~"
"So? We beat you. What do we have to do now?"
"Oh my, but did you? Now that I have recovered, I can…"
"You won't," I cut her off. "You're not the type to return good with evil."
