Emilia's words left Cynthia feeling even more confused than before. "… Aren't they both older than you? Also… where exactly do you get your confidence from?"
The crimson-haired girl giggled. 'From being your partner, of course. Look at how amazing and adorable you are, ah~ You wouldn't choose me if I weren't so good, no?'
Cynthia knew that her embarrassment and lack of response would only make her partner feel more smug, but since she couldn't come up with a retort, she could only grit her teeth bitterly.
No matter how she wanted to smack this little princess upside down, Cynthia wasn't quite delusional enough to do that yet. She knew that not only would it be fruitless, it might just also get her an undeserved ass beating later.
In that case, wouldn't it be wiser to just shut up and bear with it? She couldn't expect her villainess to be kind and forgiving after being poked, after all!
