Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 120



—–

As we cuddled together, Partner suddenly recalled what had happened with Lucifer, and she got increasingly angry. I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl, but she really doesn’t like Lucifer. I guess she’s angry that I gave him some of my attention to him, but she should really relax!

“Don’t worry, nothing happened! I stopped him before anything big was to happen. I disliked how he tried to kiss me out of nowhere. Honestly, who does he thinks he is? He didn’t even confess or anything and went directly for the kiss?! Does he thinks this is an Otome Game or something?” I muttered.

It was really like that. I disliked how Lucifer apparently has been saving his feelings for me and didn’t even admit them. He just went straight for the kiss. Does he think I am so easy to get? That a kiss will do it? No! I am not a woman that a womanizer man can easily take.

I at least want him to confess his feelings to me! How can he be like that? So inconsiderate of my own feelings or my own POV of the situation. The worst part is that he tried to be dominant and kiss me again forcefully! That’s kind of wrong, you know? I disliked that too.

I didn’t like how he tried to be like that, to be honest. It was all quite wrong! And I… I don’t know, but he’ll have to work harder if I ever accept him.

Huh, maybe I’ve gotten too arrogant… perhaps I shouldn’t be like this?

“Master, nothing happened… right?” Asked Partner.

“N-No, nothing happened, dear… Don’t worry. That big old dragon won’t easily dominate me! I am not a Romance novel protagonist here,” I said.

“I-I see… But will you accept him later? W-What about that?” She asked.

“Ummm… Well, we would have to see and wait. He’s still gotta invite me to a date, even… I can’t really tell if I like him or not, but I do care about him, and he’s a bit handsome, yeah,” I said.

“W-Will you love him then?! You’ll end up only with him?” She asked desperately.

“W-What? Of course not! I don’t love him as if… love… real love!” I said.

“T-Then who do you love?” Asked Partner.

“E h h h?”

“E-Emeraldine?” Asked Partner.

“She? Emeraldine… Erm… Uhhh… S-she’s cute, but I haven’t thought of her in that regard… Now that I think about it, she acts a bit flirty….” I responded.

“A-And what about me, Master?” She asked.

She approached me even more as her face got very close to me.

Partner’s beautiful lips were very close too.

“Huh? Y-You?” I asked.

“Yeah… me…”

“W-What do you mean you?”

“D-Do you like me? If you like Lucifer or Emeraldine… W-What about me? Can I know?” She asked desperately.

“This is a very difficult question to ask, Partner! H-have some consideration for me! I am getting pressured from all sides, all out of the blue….” I sighed.

“A-Ah! S-Sorry… Master, did I scare you?” She asked.

“No… You’re my adorable partner, dear. But you should be less… erm, forceful,” I said.

“O-Okay… I am just worried,” She said.

“Worried?” I responded.

“I am worried that… I will end up not letting you know… and that would end up in you picking someone else… while leaving me at the side… I-I don’t want that…” She said.

“But you’ll never be at the side! You’re my partner!” I said.

“B-But I want to be something more!” She said.

Partner looked at me with fiery eyes. She was suddenly very decisive all of a sudden, even blazing with conviction. I didn’t know what to say as she was bombarding me with hard questions to answer, and she seemed to be trying to convey something in the mess of words she was telling me. I was trying to decipher what she wanted to say, but it was getting harder.

She did ask if I wanted to be with Lucifer in the future… I don’t really know about that. It’s a hard question to answer! I mean, I do care about him, and he seems handsome too, and it makes me fuzzy to think about being in an actual romantic relationship with a person… it makes me embarrassed, even… even more because I never had such experiences in my previous life.

And then she mentioned Emeraldine… What about her? She said something about her being interested in me too? How come?! And now that I think about it, she does indeed acts quite flirty sometimes, and when she’s around, she doesn’t let Partner touch me, nor Lucifer. As if she was protecting me.

I usually take that kindly. She probably is defending me from these overly clingy ones… well, Lucifer is not clingy and rather distant until a few hours ago. Still, Partner is the clingiest, and she and Emeraldine had begun to develop some kind of rivalry, although they also work together pretty well.

So I don’t really know what’s up with that either… I feel a bit overwhelmed. I just wanted to evolve and rest for now. Why must I be showered with these awkward thoughts?

“Y-You want to be something more?” I asked.

Partner suddenly held my hands tightly as she approached me a bit more.

“M-Master… Don’t you want to?” She asked.

“Huh?! I-I want to? I… I don’t know? What do you even mean? Can you be more clear!?” I exclaimed.

“B-But it’s embarrassing….” She sighed.

“Y-You’re already embarrassing me!” I said.

“I just won’t lose… I don’t want to lose to Lucifer or Emeraldine… I want to also be part of Master’s heart….” Said Partner.

“My heart? R-Really?” I asked.

“Yeah…”

I stood up and sat down, with Partner at my side.

I hugged her tightly, and then I kissed her cheek.

“So you’re… thinking about that?” I asked.

“H-Huh?” Partner looked at me in the eyes.

We were closer than ever before.
