"W-what’s really happening?!" Julian said in his mind with a terrified expression.
"Oh, this is it, the defense mode of the strong and youngest assassin, the Crimson Rose!" Lavendina said in amazement, standing in front of the medicine cabinet, staring at Julian.
"Ms... Lavendina?!" Julian asked, still trapped.
"How did Ms. Lavendina know that Anindya was an assassin?" Julian asked, staring at Lavendina, who was smiling at him.
"I’ll answer your question later," Lavendina said with a smile.
"Now let’s think about how to break free from Anindya’s grip" Lavendina continued, pointing to Anindya’s grip.
Julian nodded, after which Lavendina said.
"Okay, try pinching Anindya’s left arm hard where she’s holding yours," Lavendina said.
"Okay, I’ll try" Julian said.
Julian tried to pinch Anindya’s left arm with his own.
"GYUT!" Julian made a loud noise as he pinched Anindya’s arm hard.
Anindya remained silent, and Julian tried five more times. But she still didn’t wake up. Julian looked at Lavendina.
"It didn’t work, Ms. Lavendina" Julian said.
"Hmm... then you have to attack Anindya’s weak spot" Lavendina said.
"A weak spot?... does she have one?" Julian asked, confused.
"Of course, everyone has a weak spot" Lavendina replied.
"Then where is Anindya’s weak spot?" Julian asked.
"That’s easy. When she was little, Lady Anindya had a very sensitive nose, so you have to pull Lady Anindya’s nose using your index finger and thumb" Lavendina replied.
Julian stared at Lavendina in confusion, saying
"Is it possible that such a simple method can break free from such a strong grip?" Julian thought to himself.
However, having no other choice, he turned to Anindya again and moved his left hand toward her nose, saying,
"If she’s sensitive, then I can just touch it, right?" Julian muttered seriously.
Julian began rubbing his index finger along each side of Anindya’s nose. But unfortunately, Anindya only sneezed.
"What are you... doing?" Lavendina asked with a confused expression.
"Eh? You said her nose was sensitive, so I just made her sneeze" Julian replied, looking at Lavendina.
"Haa... she won’t wake up then. I told you to pull her nose" Lavendina said, slapping her forehead with her right hand.
"S-sorry... I’ll try again," Julian said with a regretful expression.
Slowly, he pinched Anindya’s nose between his index finger and thumb and pulled.
"Hhhmmphh...!" Anindya snorted, her expression troubled.
Anindya released her grip and grabbed Julian’s left wrist.
"Looks like I succeeded," Julian muttered.
"Then I’ll let go now—" Julian continued.
At the same time as Julian removed his fingers from Anindya’s nose, Anindya’s eyes widened, revealing a blank stare. Shortly after, she suddenly bent down and pulled her right palm back✋.
"Eh? Anin—" Julian said with a confused expression.
Anindya took a breath and quickly attacked Julian with her right palm. But unfortunately, Lavendina, who was on Anindya’s right side, stopped her.
"Lady Anindya... Did you have the heart to attack Julian?" Lavendina asked, holding Anindya’s still struggling wrist.
After hearing Julian’s name, Anindya slowly regained consciousness and muttered.
"J-Julian?" Anindya said with a shocked expression as she stared at Julian.
"H-hai..." Julian greeted with an awkward smile.
Anindya’s shocked expression turned to happiness. She pulled her hand away from Lavendina and immediately hugged Julian, saying:
"Julian!, You finally woke up!" Anindya said happily, burying her face into Julian’s chest.
"Y-yes, it’s all thanks to you," Julian said.
Anindya looked up at Julian and said
"Moo! What are you saying? As your girlfriend, I should be useful!" Anindya said, pouting cutely.
"Alright alright, thank you so much for your help," Julian said, smiling and stroking Anindya’s head.
Anindya smiled and then buried her face back into Julian’s chest. Lavendina, who was already in front of them, said
"Ukhm!"
At that, they both turned to Lavendina.
"I’m sorry, Lady Anindya. I didn’t mean to ruin your happy moment, but I need to treat the wound on Julian’s left arm immediately," Lavendina said with a smile and a gentle tone.
Anindya released her hug and immediately answered Lavendina’s question.
"Can’t you see I’ve already treated it?!" Anindya asked Lavendina with an annoyed expression and tone.
"Ano, Anindyaaa..." Julian called out in an uncomfortable tone.
Anindya looked at Julian, and Julian continued.
"...You’re applying the bandage too tightly and the wound isn’t clean enough," Julian said with an uncomfortable expression.
"W-WHAT’S?!" Anindya said, shocked.
"Lady Anindya~, Lady Anindya~, I already taught you, have you forgotten?" Lavendina asked softly, searching for additional medication in the medicine cabinet.
Anindya lowered her head and fiddled with her index fingers.
"I-I was just in a rush, so I made a little mistake..." Anindya said with a pouting, apologetic expression and cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"Ahahaha, alright, just leave the rest to me" Lavendina said, placing a medicine in the first aid kit she had taken after seeing Julian and Anindya fast asleep.
Lavendina then walked to the other side of Julian’s bed. When she reached the other side of Julian’s bed, Lavendina sat on the bed, opened the first aid kit, and began mixing the cotton ball with antiseptic, then said
"I’ll start~" Lavendina said softly, looking at Julian.
"Okay" Julian replied.
Ms. Lavendina began applying the antiseptic to Julian’s wound, gently rubbing it in. Julian was amazed by Ms. Lavendina’s skill in treating his wound, watching every step she took to treat him.
"Wow, Ms. Lavendina is really skilled at this," Julian thought to himself, watching her work.
"Plus, she’s beautiful, and her perfume smells so good
Anindya, who was to Julian’s right, instinctively glanced sharply at Julian, who was mesmerized by Lavendina. She immediately grabbed both of Julian’s cheeks and...
"CRACK!" Anindya tilted Julian’s head.
"Juliaaan~, what are you staring at, HAAAAA~?!" Anindya asked, smiling and exuding a menacing aura.
Although Anindya’s tone was very gentle, Julian somehow felt threatened by her voice and her smile. He finally answered.
"N-nothing," Julian replied with a panicked expression and tone.
Anindya brought her face closer to Julian.
"Really~?!" Anindya said, smiling and exuding a menacing aura.
"Y-yes, really! I’m just... amazed by Ms. Lavendina’s skill at applying antiseptic" Julian said, raising both hands in surrender.
"Heeeh~, better than me?!" Anindya asked, narrowing her eyes.
"E-eh?!" said Julian, surprised by the question.
Julian tensed, breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling like he was in an interrogation he couldn’t win. He stared into Anindya’s eyes filled with pressure, and immediately answered.
"N-no! Of course not! You’re still the best, Anindya! No one can beat you!" Julian replied with a stiff, nervous smile.
Lavendina, who had been applying antiseptic, suddenly stopped and said
"Oh, so my skills are still lacking, huh?..." Lavendina asked with a sad expression.
Anindya narrowed her eyes at Lavendina. While Julian felt bad for Lavendina, Anindya’s grip loosened—Julian took the opportunity to remove her hands from his cheeks and turned to Lavendina.
"T-That’s not what I meant, Ms. Lavendina" Julian said, trying to calm her down.
"It’s okay, Julian. I know I’m getting old, so my skills will definitely diminish" Lavendina said, covering her mouth with her right hand in a sad tone.
Julian felt even more guilty, and he couldn’t help but say
"C-Calm down, Ms. Lavendina. You’re still beautiful and... your skills are still very good!" Julian said awkwardly.
Lavendina immediately changed her expression to a shy one.
"Araa~, Julian. Your words are so sweet, I’m embarrassed~" Lavendina said with a shy smile and held her cheeks.
Suddenly, on the other side of Julian, Julian felt a threatening chill. Slowly, he turned his head and saw Anindya standing there with a dark aura surrounding her, her usually sweet smile now looking sinister.
"Juuuuliaaan~" Anindya said softly, but it sent shivers down Julian’s spine.
"E-ehh... A-anu... T-that’s not it-" Julian said, not finishing his sentence. Updates are released by novel⚑fire.net
"HOW DARE YOU FLIRT WITH ANOTHER WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME!!!" Anindya said, raising her right hand.
"SLAP!" Anindya slapped Julian’s right cheek.
