Snippet #2180082

In actuality, Razeluxe wasn't insulting her looks, but rather her attitude, which was in need of a change. Chidori had informed him of when she first arrived, pretending to be sick, to be helpless. He didn't like that one bit, thus his rant about being a woman.

It would be very awkward to admit how attract she was, physically.

Chidori, what now?

Whaddya mean 'what now?'! Now you fight!

But I haven't even apologized for hurting her and saying she isn't a woman....I think I hurt her feelings......

You don't apologize to the enemy! What's wrong with you?! She was about to bring harm to Setsugie, and she's the Shikaku leader! Why would you apologize for hurting her?

Because I don't think hurting a girl is ever a solution, even if she is acting... unpleasant.

..................................................................

Chidori?...

I mean, you were supposed to pick it up from there! That took like an hour just to get you used to saying that whole line, and now you're confused?! I'm sorry if I couldn't tell you what she was going to say after that... I'm no mind-reader.

But now what? I mean, I don't want to hurt her anymore... it goes against my own standards.

So you were fine hitting her before, but now you're not?

You said she would dodge!

I said she MIGHT dodge!

Well!.... Then I misheard you.....

It was around this time in the argument that Kaiyo began to show her true colors. And by true colors, I mean skin. As more and more of her flesh began to become visible, especially the flesh around her breasts, Razeluxe almost visibly lost composure. Almost. His face was still stone cold, and Setsugie might be surprised given prior events like this that had set him into a state of complete chaos. It was completely uncharacteristic for Razeluxe not to be blushing, babbling and freezing. However, as strong and unfazed as he looked on the outside, he was taking this punishment on the inside.

....

Raze. Speak.

....

Raze! It's just some boob, nothing to worry about! I show you mine all the time!

...

Are you ever going to get over this? I mean, odds are you'll have to see at least one bare one when you're making a kid. Jeez, grow up!

....uu......uuu......

That's a start... go on.

....uu.....uuu...u...!

Just speak!

I can't do this! What if....?! This isn't good! Nonononononono!

You know, even if you could talk to the opposite gender, I think this would send girls away. You have no chance at this rate.

While his facial expression remained unchanged, a blood had rushed to his face, unable to be hidden. However, before too many people could notice, the Shikaku leader begun her attack with Razeluxe's mind still in a small daze.

Raze! Watch out!

Huh?!

Just before her blade could cut him, Razeluxe had managed to snap to reality and bring his own, sheathed blade to negate the attack, the sound of steel clashing was very audible in the air. Although they were in a brief clash, Razeluxe hopped back as if on the defensive, because until he could, if he could, deal with her exposed self properly, he would be so.

That was a close one! What were you thinking, Raze?!...... Wait.... don't answer that.

But I-

But nothing! Come on and get your head out of your ass already!

But I don't want to--

No buts! Just... just fight her and beat her non-lethally, that's all you need to do. Nobody said there had to be a casualty, but if you don't fight her just because she IS A HALF NAKED WOMAN, YOU PERVERT, THEN WE'LL PROBABLY DIE OR SOMETHING! COME ON!

Okay! Okay! I will! But we won't be using our elemen--

YES! YES WE WILL! As long as you don't go overboard with it, you won't have to worry about this! Now, go!

Alright.....

His blade still hidden by its sheathe, Raze kept it to his side, as if he wasn't fighting, except his hand near the blade made it apparent this was a form of stance, not surrender. A keen but false glare in his eye told her that he wasn't impressed by what he had seen so far, and a small sparkle in it said 'Sorry'. His eye weren't sure what they were betraying at the time, so one who got too involved in his glance would probably suffer a headache.
