Chapter 14 - Clash of Egos

Smack~

Just when I was getting full of myself and entered the store, before I could react, a strong punch landed on my chest making me spurt a mouthful of blood.

"Fuck, who?"

Looking ahead I saw Asuna standing with a wide grin.

"Serves you right for being too cocky. Even if I can't kill you, breaking bones and making you unable to get out of the hospital is a trivial matter for me."

Asuna tried to intimidate me.

"Oh, don't make such a sad face. Now that you have awakened your Fallen Angel bloodline, recovering from minor damage like this is child's play."

The smugness on her face showed how much she enjoyed attacking me just now.

When did I make this madam angry?

This action of hers once again reminded me of the sheer strength this supernatural girl carried.

Cough cough~

She was right, within seconds, the violent pain brought by her abrupt attack subsided.

It seems she doesn't like getting flustered, haha!

Wiping the faint bloodstain on my lips using the corner of my shirt I followed behind her to the counter.

"This shop with more than three floors looks too exaggerated."

"I wonder if your little wallet can keep up with the expenses."

Asuna sneered like she didn't give a shit. 

For her coming here was just a means to kill time.

Just when she was about to say something else, a girl with a fair complexion and a small ponytail greeted us at the counter.

"Hello, I am Shana! Welcome to our clothing paradise."

"Sir, don't worry! Here you will find the best dress suitable for your girlfriend."

With a single glance, she mistook us for a couple. 

At least this saved us the trouble of a pointless explanation.

"Indeed, if you look closely, you can see the black dress this lady is wearing is already faded."

"Your girlfriend will be very happy that you noticed it and brought her to get something new."

With a big smile, Sana tried to be a warm hostess.

"Faded?"

Ughhhhhh~

Asuna shrieked out like a cat.

"This dress was left to me by my late father."

"Death Penalty! You filthy human, how dare you soil it with your blasphemous..."

Before she could shout loudly and do something potentially dangerous, I hurriedly covered her mouth.

"We are going to the second floor's waiting area, please bring out your best dresses for my girlfriend."

"Price is not a problem."

Giving a knowing smile, I quickly dragged Asuna along with me.

Sana, who had been sitting idle since morning, took Elandor's words with delight.

Although she was taken aback by this gorgeous lady's sudden outburst, the boy said money was not a problem. 

She immediately realised this might be her chance to make a fortune. 

"Sir, don't worry!"

"I will bring you the best clothes our store can offer, just wait patiently."

Shana shouted happily from behind, it seemed that it was very rare for her to receive such a generous customer.

After reaching the waiting area on the second floor.

Asuna broke free.

"That bitch slandered me, let me kill her."

"If you are worried about getting into trouble, don't worry."

"I will burn her body after slowly stabbing her to death."

Asuna laughed crazily like a psycho as if her screw was loose.

"You dare!"

Her unstable mood swings were getting over my head.

"Killing….. killing, talking about killing at every turn, is your brain guttered with only this?"

I knew I had to make a statement lest she get more and more whimsical regarding human life.

"You dare to shout at me with such a loud voice?"

Pointing her index finger at me, Asuna stomped her feet to express her attitude.

Seeing no reaction from me she raised her hand high to slap me.

But how could I let her do so?

I held her raised hand midway.

With a serious tone and a pair of clear eyes, my voice was sharp,

"Apologise!"

"I said apologise or I will just leave you here and you can do whatever you want."

Asuna's voice cracked,

"Repeat again?"

My voice was still the same, cold and detached,

"Apologise or I will leave you here and you can find someone else to play a fake boyfriend and accompany you to your friend's birthday party later this evening."

As a man, you must never put down your pride, otherwise, it's no different than blind simping.

Her pupils dilated with my sudden momentum.

The air between us froze as she stared deeply at me.

"In your dreams."

Her lips leisurely parted as she made a soft sound.

"Very good, then goodbye."

I was only with her because of the system's reward. It's not like I can't find another customer.

Even though she is gorgeous, it's not like the world is short of beauties.

Without looking back, I resolutely turned and steadily started walking towards the stairs leading to the exit.

Time was already short to find someone else, she hated it.

But her ego was too big to bow her head.

Looking at the boy leaving so decisively, Asuna finally panicked.
