Lu Ye spoke in the voice of a break scene from Pokémon.

He covered the girl's eyes, anticipating her next reaction.

What could it be?

If Violet's view were blocked by a stranger, her first reaction would probably be to throw the stranger over her shoulder.

Then, like a silly roe deer, it turns around to see what's covering its eyes.

Then, seeing yourself lying on the ground, you'd definitely feel heartbroken, right?

Then I can legitimately lie on a girl's lap and sleep!

Lu Ye was making plans in her mind while beaming with joy.

It's not that sleeping on a girl's lap is unusual; sometimes he does things that are much more exciting than that.

But the thought of the girl feeling sorry for him and then looking at him with tenderness made him feel very peaceful.

If you get bullied by other women outside, can't you go home and act like a giant baby, begging your wife to comfort you?

Moreover, Violet's gradually developing emotions also make him exceptionally happy.

His mind was racing with calculations.

Meanwhile, Violet did indeed make her move!

With her innate keen senses, she would naturally relax and lower her guard after a day of hunting and returning to the Night Raid headquarters.

But now that her crucial view was blocked, she immediately grabbed the "uninvited guest's" hands, then pulled him forward with all her might!

Lu Ye smiled slightly; everything was going exactly as he had predicted.

His body immediately tilted forward over the sofa. Such a head-down fall is very dangerous. If it were the old Lu Ye, he would probably have died. But now his physical fitness is much better than before. He can use his palms to absorb the force just before his body hits the ground... so falling is out of the question.

What he was looking forward to was the part where little Violet got anxious.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression she'll make...

Suddenly, Lu Ye's body stopped tilting.

"Ok?"

Before Lu Ye could figure out what was going on, his body was pulled back by a strong force.

The scene before my eyes changed from wooden floors to a young girl with skin so smooth and delicate.

Lu Ye's posture changed from being thrown over the shoulder to being carried in a princess carry.

He lay motionless in Violet's arms.

"Why don't you just throw me to the ground?" Lu Ye asked.

“Because it will hurt a lot… Won’t it hurt?” Violet asked.

Looking into the girl's eyes, which were as blue as the ocean, Lu Ye finally understood.

At this time and distance, even if the girl realized what was happening, she couldn't possibly stop, unless... she never intended to do it in the first place.

"You knew it was me from the beginning?" Lu Ye asked.

The girl nodded, then asked, "Why are you blindfolding me?"

She recognized him immediately.

Even though Lu Ye deliberately pinched his nose and used a different voice, she still recognized him immediately.

No wonder, in every memory of her "life" so far, Lu Ye's figure is there, like a shadow that never leaves her. She has focused almost all her attention on him, and she remembers his smell and body temperature so clearly, so how could she mistake his voice?

“It’s nothing…” Lu Ye muttered.

He was unwilling to admit, "I just wanted to stage an accident to get a warm hug..."

Tsk, how could I possibly say that?

You'd be better off killing me than saying something like that.

"Oh, I see."

Violet tilted her head.

Although she didn't quite understand, she still sensed that Lu Ye had something on his mind.

The two of them depended on each other in this peculiar way.

The girl sat on the sofa, and in her lap was a man who had failed to stage an accident.

"You weren't injured in the previous mission, were you?" Lu Ye asked.

“Yes, Sister Leone and Brother Brad were injured, but they recovered quickly after taking medicine,” Violet said.

"That's good. I'll go to the kitchen and get something to eat."

As he spoke, Lu Ye tried to get up, since it wouldn't be good if someone saw him in this position.

If Akame were to come out of the kitchen and see this scene later...

Well, although Lu Ye felt ashamed, he still wanted to save face.

However, he did not succeed.

“Violet?” Lu Ye turned to look at the girl, because her hand stopped him.

"Is something bothering you?" Violet asked.

Lu Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "Violet, I did something I'm very sorry for."

Actually, he had been thinking about this matter on the way back.

He still intends to speak out.

"Hmm?" Violet tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

I haven't spent much time with Lu Ye these days.

I wasn't hungry, and I didn't have trouble sleeping.

What does it mean to "feel sorry for yourself"?

"Um, can I ask you a question?" Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Violet, you like me, right?"

"Yes," the girl replied immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

Is it that kind of liking?

“Yes,” Violet said. “There are two kinds of liking. One is the kind of 'liking' I have for Akame and the others. The other is the kind of 'liking' I have for you, the kind that the old lady talked about… the liking of wanting to have children.”

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment before realizing that the so-called "old lady" must refer to the old woman who ran a clothing store near the Leiden Hotel.

I wonder how she is doing now.

Putting all that aside, Lu Ye was very happy to hear Violet's answer.

But it was precisely because of this that his sense of guilt became even more intense.

"Then... let me ask you this: if I did some things with other women... things that I did with you, would you be angry? Would you hate me?" Lu Ye was a little flustered and uneasy. This was the first time he had confessed his "crimes".

“Like… like this now?” Violet’s mind started to work.

"Yeah, more or less... There are times when I get kissed... on the lips."

As Lu Ye spoke, he sighed inwardly.

He now admired Rousseau for writing a book like "Confessions," which made public the sins he had committed throughout his life. He already felt guilty just for confessing his sins to Violet, a girl who was still very innocent.

"Did you kiss another girl?" the girl asked.

“No…it’s the other way around…she kissed me,” Lu Ye said. “But I have to add that I couldn’t resist because it was very dangerous, really dangerous. I could very well get kicked out of the team.”

Lu Ye felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Because he knew that his statement was actually sophistry.

If he truly cared about the girl, with his strength, although he might not be able to defeat Esdeath, he could still preserve his innocence if he went all out.

However, Lu Ye wasn't trying to gain sympathy and forgiveness by portraying himself as a victim to Violet; he simply dared not reveal something—not to Violet, but to himself.

That means he actually had feelings for Esdeath.

It's embarrassing and shameful to admit, but he did have those thoughts a little. Such a beautiful woman, treating enemies like a harsh winter, yet warm and welcoming to her subordinates; her charm and strength were captivating, and her face and figure were top-notch… It was impossible for a man not to be tempted. Most importantly, she was practically throwing herself at him, openly expressing her feelings, even inviting him to her bedchamber for a night of passion!

But he dared not, and would not, admit that he had feelings for another woman.

For Violet, this would mean betrayal.

Having two relationships at the same time is something that Lu Ye, who used to be single, detests the most.

He is also trying hard not to become the kind of person he used to hate the most.

After hearing Lu Ye's words, Violet fell silent for a moment.

For a moment, only the faint sound of breathing could be heard in the air.

She must be thinking about it.

Think about how to reprimand yourself.

Even the most naive and clueless person should realize what their words represent.

Lu Ye lowered his head, waiting for judgment like a prisoner.

"So, do you still like Violet?" the girl asked softly after a moment.

"what?"

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded.

Girl, aren't you angry?

Seeing Lu Ye's blank stare, Violet frowned slightly, organizing her thoughts.

“Um… I understand now. Actually, I’m the dog, and you’re the little boy,” Violet said softly. “It’s that comic book…”

Lu Ye remembered.

When we were on a deserted island, I once bought a comic book for Violet to pass the time.

“I thought I was the little boy, but you are…” the girl said softly, “It’s just that the little boy has so much. Even without the puppy, he still has his mom and dad, and a new home to move to… But that little dog, it has nothing but the little boy…”
