"When I say sleep in your embrace I meant as in hug throughout the night, don't expect anything more!" She hurriedly adds.
A wide grin erupts on my features, "you certainly know how to best motivate me, Ayame. You better remember your words because I won't let you take them back even if you beg me to."
"... Of course. I would never go back on my word."
Of course she wouldn't, she is a good girl after all.
I turn my head back towards my opponent. It's time to give my undivided attention to this giant bird until it breathes its last.
If there's one thing I can be certain of is that Ayame wouldn't say such a thing if she didn't believe that I have next to no chance at succeeding. This is for sure going to be an uphill battle, but a battle I'm absolutely refusing to back down from.
