"Kazumaaaaaaa!"

The young dark-haired man slowly opened his eyes right after he heard someone called his name. "What?"

"I can't even stand this!" Ayano shouted with undisguised anger. "You almost killed me by taking a nap when you're supposed to help me killing the youma!"

"Don't scream my ear off, I didn't do any fault. You managed to survive, didn't you?"

"What kind of answer is that? Hey!"

Kazuma grunted. It's all Ayano's fault why he had been lacking of sleep these days. She took some extra missions during summer—which he didn't know why—and some of them including going to nowhere at night like this. As her guard, he followed her anywhere, watching her of course… and getting paid as usual. But Juugo didn't mention anything about he has to help her 24/7.

Though she is the Princess, but still…

Ayano was getting mad so easily even when Kazuma didn't say anything much. "Listen, I don't want to hear any excuse! You're taking me to the most expensive restaurant in the town right after this. And you're paying!"

"Again?"

"Of course! It's a payback!"

Kazuma frowned. "Payback? How's that even related?"

"Well, because it's no use if I make you fight the next youma all by yourself—it won't be able to kill you—, so I move the damage to your wallet!" Ayano tried to add some sense in whatever she said.

But maybe she failed.

A smirk widened itself on Kazuma's lips. "Oh, so you're going to make everyone pay for whatever they've done?"

"Sure, yeah!"

"Then…"

Ayano was just going to speak another nonsense to win the argument, but her lips was silenced with his ones. After Kazuma pulled away with another smirk on his face, she was still stunned. Too stunned to speak. Her face was all redder than a tomato.

"How are you going to pay that, Princess? …Another kiss would be enough, but I don't mind if you'd like to add some tips."

"Y-YOU!"
