[Reina POV]

"Hehehe..."

Remembering the scene from yesterday, I couldn't help but giggle. Seeing a possible future and having Charles's reassurance were two different things.

"You're being weird again..."

Nene's confused voice didn't ruin my mood. She looked at me and thought I was weird. Yesterday night was a blessing. I bet that none of the girls had felt.

"Reina did something good happen?"

Courtney asked which I quickly complied. She was sitting down on a cushion playing on her phone. She had asked out of courtesy but was probably too distracted on her phone to care what I said.

"You don't need to worry about it. It was just that yesterday I was with Charles, and we just had a great time."

"..."

"Is that what's it about~?"

The black cat couldn't help but chuckle at my reasoning. What's so funny about that? Even if she laughed at it, my mood didn't dampen. Before I knew it, I went back to my memory.

When I was seeking my memory, I felt my chest being touched... The black cat was close to me and had her grubby hands on me.

"What are you doing..?"

"Nothing~!"

She had moved her hands away from my chest. Instead of moving away, she went in closer. Searching for what intentions this cat had, I couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Before our lips could touch, I felt her chest push against mine. She then showed a grin prompting that she had won.

"Are you intentionally trying to make me mad?"

Hearing my words, Courtney and Rose, who were sitting down doing their own thing, stared at us. My voice was serious when I asked the stupid cat this question.

"Making you mad~? Why would I need to do that~! Heh~!"

She knew what she was doing. You didn't need to see the situation but could tell how I felt. My fist was curled into a ball, and looking at her, I wanted to release this frustration.

"Are you jealous? Charles hasn't been with you for a while. You must be lonely without him."

The usual smile coming from the stupid cat disappeared. Me having to say that the tension in this room has become intense.

"Jealous? Why would I be?"

If you couldn't tell what the atmosphere was. You can tell what it became with the stupid cat's tone.

"Could both of you please calm down."

No one had expected Courtney to intervene in our fight; even with her intervention, our hostility never disappeared.

"No. The reason why you're trying to mess with me is that you were jealous."

"Why would I be jealous of your one day with Master? I could hog him all day from you if I wanted to."

"Be with him all day? If anything he would only be tired of you quicker."

The two of us were going back and forth. Courtney and Rose, on the sidelines, watched and did nothing about our fight.

"Tired? Why would he? My chest here could entertain him longer than your entire existence."

This time she has really done it. What's with her obsession with breasts?

"If you were that obsessed with breasts, go find someone else with them. I'm pretty sure Charles won't know if you were somewhere else."

"..."

"Can you both not fight? I can hear it from my room."

Before we could keep going, Charles had finally appeared. Recently he has been going to the hub and spending less time with each of us.

"If she weren't picking a fight with me, I wouldn't have said anything."

I explained my reasoning for why I fought. Charles didn't seem to care. I doubt he cared about why we fought and only wanted to stop it.

As for the stupid cat, she had nothing to say. A tint of disappointment could be seen on Charles' face.

"The both of you are going to make it up."

Makeup? I doubt that was possible. Ever since we had met, we always had this rivalry between us. Our fight won't end just because of this.

"And I know the right thing to do."

"???"

Both of us were confused about what Charles was going to make us do. He dragged the both of us into a white room with no exit.

"Charles, don't you think this is too extreme? We will be bored to death and will starve!"

"Don't worry. Time is much slower here, so you have all the time together."

"WAIT!!!"

Leaving us alone, I stared at the stupid cat once more. We both stared at each other in silence. I sighed and tried to rationalize.

Using my skill, I tried to find the most optimized route. Looking at what I saw, I refused to do it. The quickest way would be for me to apologize to her even though it was her fault.

"Are you going to stand there any say nothing? We will be stuck here all day if you do."

An hour later, the both of us said nothing to each other. Does she really plan on staying here? If she does, then I would have to force the outcome.

"Stupid cat. Are you not going to speak? You know, if Charles were to see you right now, he would be really disappointed."

Saying those words, I managed to get a response out of her. While it wasn't much, it was progressing.

"How about the egg you were trying to hatch? Are you going let it sit there?"

She glared at me and started to speak.

"Has anyone told you that you are to snobby? You may not act like one, but it's apparent from how you are."

Me snobby??? We went back and forth, pointing out what we hated about each other. Like yesterday night with Charles. This talk had a lot of meaning.

While we did get closer, our feelings toward each other remained the same. We can't change how we felt overnight, but we escaped the white cage with our progress. We returned to Charles, who was sitting on his bed.

"Did this make things clear for you both?"

"Since you both exceeded my expectations, I will reward you."

For the whole night, our bodies were bathed in an endless amount of pleasure. While this won't be our last fight, it was still a memory we sure won't forget.
