Chapter 189: I Can Help With It
The Paru decides to take the most gamble he has taken as of yet.
“It’s pretty obvious that you are one, from the way you talk and… All that.”
“Oh, I see.” Roka nodded, but a frown quickly took over her face. “WAIT, WHAT? WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?”
“Don’t know.” The Paru shrugged and pulled back his arm, deactivating his Blade of Bones Skill. “Just a feeling? I guess?”
“W-Well how can you say that? What’s your evidence for saying that I’m a virgin? Why would you think that? There’s absolutely no reason for someone to think that I am one! Are you trying to insult me or something?”
“I think you’re overreacting a bit.”
“No, no, no! I won’t stand for baseless accusations! You called me a virgin, so I’m asking for your evidence!”
“As I said, it was just a feeling-”
“Ha! So there’s no evidence, so you can’t prove that I’m a virgin, and, therefore, I’m not one!”“That’s… Not exactly how that works.”
“I’m not a virgin, alright?! Get that idea out of your head! Ha! A virgin. As if I was a loser or a-”
“You’ve…” The Paru interrupted. “You’ve already admitted to it though.”
“Did not!”
“Asking me how I knew… That’s admittance, isn’t it?”
“Fuck you!”
“You’re definitely overreacting.”
“Let’s just circle around this place, alright?”
“Yeah, fine.”
The two started circling the area, but not exactly silently. While Roka was grumbling in whispers, the Paru had trouble stopping himself from chuckling.
“You know there’s nothing wrong with being a virgin, right?”
“S-Shut up! I don’t need to hear that, cause I’m not one!”
“You’re in denial? That’s not good for you. You should accept the fact and-”
“Shut up! Don’t wanna hear it!”
Her angry response made him let out a chuckle and,
“What are you laughing at?” She turned towards him suddenly. “You think this is funny?” Roka stepped towards him.
‘She’s a bit of a delinquent… Well, only when it comes to defending her imaginary non-virgin status.’
The Paru shook his head, pressing his lips together.
“No, no.”
“Good! Cause there isn’t anything funny here!” Roka stared at him for a moment, before turning around.
A malicious smile appeared on his face.
“I can’t believe the Commander is a virgin…” He whispered.
“What did you just say?!”
“Nothing, nothing.” The Paru chuckled as he walked past her.
Hearing a noise coming from deeper into the forest, the Paru activated his “Enhanced Vision Lv.3” Skill.
“More of them.” Roka said from behind the Paru as she took her sniper rifle back into her hands. “Wizzos, right?”
“Yeah.” The Paru let out a chuckle. “Should I use the Greatsword?”
“I don’t care.” Roka took aim. “I don’t like Swords.”
“Now, you’re trying too hard.” He sighed, and entered the forest.
…
“So you don’t like Swords now?”
“Never did.” Roka shook her head. “I was just trying to be nice.”
The Paru pressed his lips together, fighting back the urge to smile and chuckle.
“So if you weren’t a virgin, would you still have a problem with liking Swords?”
“Huh? One doesn’t have anything to do with the other. And I’m not a virgin.”
“Right.” He nodded. “So Swords are for losers, right?”
“Yeah. They’re stupid.”
“I’m not sure how you expect this to work.” The Paru frowned slightly. “Well, I guess I feel flattered that you don’t want me to think of you as a loser.”
“I’m not one. I don’t care what you think.”
“That’s good. Not caring what others think or say is the first step towards losing your virginity.”
“Really? Uh. Shut up? I don’t care. I already… Got the deed done.”
“Oh, you did? When did that happen?”
“Long ago. None of your business.”
“I see…” The Paru muttered, before suddenly turning towards her. “You don’t believe that dreams count, do you? Well, depends on your people, I suppose…”
“I-I don’t dream about stuff like that! Stop slandering me, alright? I’m not a loser. I’m not a virgin. And I’m certainly not a pervert!”
“So you’re not a virgin…” He scratched his chin.
“Of course not. Haha!”
“I see… Maybe I should ask Al and Jay what they think about-”
The Commander immediately frowned and positioned herself in front of him, standing in his way.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Doing what?”
“Trying to make me feel bad about it.”
“About… What?”
“About what you’ve been repeatedly talking about!”
“Huh? I’m really not.”
“You’re not trying to make me feel bad about it?”
“I’m not.”
“You’re not?”
“No.”
“Hm…” Roka scratched her head as she looked away. “Alright.”
The two continued circling around the area, defeating Wizzos and Graniliths here and there.
“I mean…” The Commander started suddenly, breaking the silence. “It’s not like I’m a virgin virgin, you know?”
“Yeah? What’s a virgin virgin?” The Paru definitely felt amused by it.
“Well, you know like… The weird kind… Or like… I don’t know!”
“Yeah, I don’t know what virgin virgin means either.”
She frowned and turned towards him.
“You’re making fun of me but… I’m sure you’re one as well!”
“Pffft!” The Paru completely failed at stopping himself from laughing.
Roka didn’t need him to say a word.
“Fuck you.”
“What are you cursing at me for? It’s not my fault that you’re a virgin.”
“Well, it’s not my fault either.”
“Isn’t it?” The Paru needed to cover his mouth with a hand so as not to laugh out loud.
“Fuck you! Seriously! You were better on Serolia. What the fuck happened to you?”
“You’re talking more than you did on Serolia as well.”
“Anyways! Let’s just drop the subject. We’re on a mission here, and nothing else matters.”
“Yeah, nothing else matters.” The Paru walked silently for a couple of seconds. “Although, if it really bothers you that much…”
“Hm…?”
“I could help with your little problem.”
“Little problem?”
“Yeah…” The Paru smiled as he turned towards her. “If you hate being a virgin that much…”
