"Blimey, that was a nice story!" Arthur remarked with a great smile. He had just finished reading a book, and he set it down on his desk. He was in his school uniform now.

"A novel?" Orange Pekoe wondered. She was also within Arthur's office at the moment. She was currently preparing some more tea within her school uniform.

"Indeed!" Arthur turned to reply, still with a smile. "It's a story of earnest love! The main protagonist enrolled into a certain international school after leaving his home country... he reunited with a very close female friend he had known for many years... those two close friends fell for each other while standing against their former countrymen and later the world's greatest to save their new home... Lady Pekoe? You wouldn't mind calling me your blonde knight, would you?"

"But you're not German..." Orange Pekoe muttered so Arthur wouldn't hear. She then shook her head to clear it before she addressed Arthur directly. "Are you sure you're well, Sir Arthur?"

"So what's going on?" Douglas asked Orange Pekoe. The two were now in a hall speaking with each other later that day. Both of them had taken a glance back at the nearest corner and found Arthur peeking out from around the corner. Arthur, however, did not notice he had already been spotted as he looked on.

"It seems he's gotten influenced by those kinds of novels," Orange Pekoe revealed.

"Huh?" Douglas wondered. He then raised his hand to his chin as he thought. "Hmm..." He then gained a sly grin. "By those kinds, do you mean..."

He then moved his hands to Orange Pekoe's face and brought it closer to his. "Something like this, I wonder?" Douglas continued as the girl in his hands grew a blush at the contact.

"Aren't you making the situation even more complicated?" Orange Pekoe responded. Arthur was looking on from his place with a highly jealous face.

He soon had enough of the sight and came forth to Douglas and Orange Pekoe. "Hey!" he began with some anger. "Let go of my Orange Pekoe!"

"You have to be first to the fight to have the advantage!" Douglas retorted, still with his grin. He had separated his hands from Orange Pekoe, and said British girl now had a deadpan look as the scene continued on.

Eventually, both Arthur and Douglas grabbed onto opposing arms of Orange Pekoe and held her there for the moment.

"Hurry up and let go of that hand!" Arthur yelled at Douglas as he pulled Orange Pekoe his way.

"You're the one who should give up!" Douglas retorted as he pulled on Orange Pekoe as well. The British girl still had her deadpan look.

'This is it!' Arthur thought as he grew a grin. 'Whoever lets go the moment she says 'It hurts' wins!'

'Hurry up and say it, Orange Pekoe!' Douglas similarly thought.

Orange Pekoe just sighed as she grabbed one of their arms with each hand. Summoning her strength as a loader, she then lifted them up into the air by their arms as she slammed them into each other's faces.

Later that day, Arthur was fully recovered from his earlier incident, and he had approached Orange Pekoe in a bit of a nervous manner.

"Orange Pekoe, um say..." he began with a nervous edge to his voice. Orange Pekoe chose to pay her attention to Arthur. "About what happened today after practice..."

"Isn't it fine, though, Sir Arthur?" Orange Pekoe replied. She then smiled a bit. "Even if for some odd reason you haven't realized it yet, I do like you, Sir Arthur. Could you please just be your usual self, like you always are?"

Arthur looked at her in surprise for a bit. A few seconds later, he grew a relaxed and relieved look as he stumbled back a bit.

"Huh?" Orange Pekoe wondered as she saw Arthur sway a bit. "Sir Arthur? Hello?"

From nearby, Douglas was watching the whole scene with an amused grin. He snorted at the sight of Arthur in a daze.
