During the rape accusation, Naofumi yells, "I didn't do it!"

"Stop lying! You're making yourself look bad!"

"Oh please, …l'd rather have a guy do me than rape a girl."

Which causes the other Heroes and everyone to be stunned.

"You…swing that way?"

"Yup."

Naofumi never told his parents since they wouldn't care enough about him for that… but he is comfortable enough with it to say it out loud.

The other heroes are awkward about this.

"Are you…uh… attracted to us?"

"No silly. You two are practically my little brother's age."

Ren and Itsuki sigh in relief.

"And me?"

"After what you just pulled…even if your face is pretty…not a chance."

"Uh…" Motoyasu doesn't know how to respond. He doesn't know if he should be relieved or take offence to that.


When Naofumi sees L'Arc for the 1st time, 'Oh man… He's so my type!'

It's love at first sight.

"The Shield Hero? You?"

"Yeah!"

"I heard the rumors…that the Shield Hero is a money fiend, a Devil…and that he prefers men."

"That's not too far off…"

"Don't take the joke too far, Kiddo!"

Naofumi pouts but decides to stay silent.

Naofumi takes every opportunity to stare at L'Arc when he's not looking. Too enamoured to part with him.


In the hot springs…

Naofumi tries not to stare but he can't help it.

As L'Arc tries to peek at the women's bath, Naofumi asks him, "Do you actually have experience, or are you still a virgin?"

L'Arc surprised, trying to keep his balance. "Well… I do have experience. What about you?"

"Of course I do! But they're usually one night stands."


"I feel you staring at my ass…"

"Sorry… I'll look somewhere else."

"No! It's just…do you want to fuck me?"

"Huh?"

"I wouldn't mind…all my one night stands were with men."

"Oh…"

Naofumi smiles at him, "Think about it, OK?"

"OK…"


When they drink at the bar…

Naofumi heathers L'Arc closer and whispers, "Do you want to get out of here?"

L'Arc's surprised at the invite, but nods.


As soon as they enter a room, Naofumi pins L'Arc to the door, kissing him vigorously.

"I want you to fuck me."

Laughing, L'Arc agrees, "Alright."

Their night was full of passion.

'Sex with him is… incredible. He made me feel so good…I think I'm in love.'


When he ends up betrayed…

"L'Arc…why?"

"I'm sorry, Naofumi… really, I am."

"Any last words?"

Naofumi nods, "L'Arc Berg…I love you."

"!" He stops…gripping his scythe, "I can't… I can't do it!"

His scythe is thrown aside, and he hugs him.

"I'm sorry! I love you too! But my world will…" L'Arc cries.

"It's OK... I understand… But there's no reason we can't save both."

L'Arc nods and laughs. "Saving both huh… That sounds good to me."

And so, an alliance was made.


Omake:

When they're fighting, Naofumi at one point calls him "Daddy", effectively distracting L'Arc enough to dodge a more lethal attack.
