"Damn it!"

I got passed over for a promotion because of my ex-boyfriend and boss. Noah put up with it for as long as she could, but when she reached her breaking point, there was only one thing she could do.

"Let’s throw down without ranks involved!"
"It’ll be boring otherwise, how about the winner gets a wish granted?"

And the two of them...

"Should we exchange swords as our wedding vows?"
"If I can use that sword to take down the Colonel, I’d gladly do it."
"You want to wear a red dress? How bold, my bride..."
"Colonel, have you finally lost your mind?"
"Now that I think about it, my eyes are red too. Maybe it’s for you?"
"If it can be stained with your blood."
"Then I’ll start collecting a drop from today."
"Don’t go through that trouble; I’ll just kill you in one go."
"Noah, you’re really intense and passionate...! That’s something you should say in bed!"
"Just die on the first night, please."
"Then bury me together as a couple. I’ll wait until you die. How about a sea burial?"
"I prefer being buried, though."

Noah shuddered as she repeated Reto's words over and over in her mind. How did I end up in a situation like this with that guy?

"He's really something else..."

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't come up with a proper answer aside from his face and body.

"......"

And Ami's gaze toward her friend was nothing but cold.

"You’re weird too."
