Mika was a 36 year old woman. In the whole time she spent as the villager medicine expert and mage, she had not taken the time or effort to try getting involved in any sort of romance before or after arriving at her current home.
The man she had helped seemed to have a quarter of her age, and if he had flirted or tried anything prior she would be annoyed and shot down his tries, but given that all of sudden he "thanked" her by stealing her first kiss in front of people that knew her their whole lives, she could do nothing but blush and hide her face behind her hands.
"Have you kissed Mika yet? Probably not..." Pointing using his thumb at his lips, the hero looks up in the enraged eyes of the man he just pissed off beyond his own thoughts, which weren't many.
"And now her first kiss wasn't with you, it was with me, Super Siegmund!" The young man was now sitting in the ground, very aware that he was looking at a man that had sealed his fate with blind confidence.
"Ghhhh...!" The man couldn't even find words to say, this individual, this strange man who he didn't know or ever heard off had stealed the first kiss of the woman he set to make his years ago! He had to pay... one way or another!
"Are you insane, why have you done this!?" Chat wished he could rewind back time to stop the hero from pissing off this man, but alas, as the system, he couldn't do anything except talk and give away abilities to be used by this guy.
"Worry not, worry not." Tapping his feet, the hero looked at the mysterious rick looking man he correctly guessed he pissed off by kissing that woman. Truth to be told, he simply always wanted to do that so when he saw the opportunity to finally do it, he jumped right in.
Now, given that this was a more medieval world, surely this guy was gonna kill him for doing such a thing. Welp, that was nothing to worry, after all...
"I will kill you for that!" The man made a sword appear in his hand out of nowhere, his eyes shining with the same color as the red jewel around his neck, which in a moment was already swinging across the hero's chest, a clean cut!
"NO!" Mika screamed on top of her lungs, her red face now turning into a deep pale as she saw the sword connect with the flesh of the man she had spent hours trying to save.
It was cruel.
It was devastating.
The man smirked, an insolent idiot crushed like the insect he is, and now no one between him and the woman who he was looking for so long to make his.
Right when his swing came to a stop, expecting for the blood to start pouring out of this miserable little runt, he is kicked right across the back with a devastating force as the image of the hero disappeared when he fell on top of it straight into the ground.
"You fell for it, fool!" The hero had both his hands in his pockets, holding his balance in one leg as the other stood straight up, slowly getting back to a normal position.
"What!?" The man quickly positioned himself facing the boy that caught him off guard, now holding the sword with both hands as he accessed his unexpected situation.
"Sorry snow head, my head ain't getting hold in a platter that easily..." Doing little hops in place as he proudly stuffed his chest, the hero hears a familiar robotic voice speaking directly into his mind.
"This man, he is a skilled swordsman given the stance and speed on which he attacked you, i advise you to NOT engage in combat with him." Chat knew that the hero only survived because this man wasn't aware of how fast he really was, but now that he was taunted and have seen what he is capable of, there is no guarantee the hero would survive!
"Elias, stop!" Mika ran in front of the hero, leaving her satchel behind as she shielded him behind her with both arms open.
"This was uncalled for, but this is no excuse to try to kill him all of sudden!" Mika wasn't so sure how to feel about this stranger. Yes, he was quite odd in his behavior, but she couldn't say he was a malicious or evil person just because he behaved the way he did.
She wanted to think he was just shy but after what he did, she... felt her face feel hot and red again.
"Yes, listen to this beautiful lady, she knows best than you." The hero hugged her, half his face visible behind her shoulder because he was a bit smaller than her, his squint eyes giving away the fact he was smiling.
"Why, you...! Mika, this man have defiled your precious first kiss! He deserves proper punishment for laying his hands on a great mage like yourself!" Mika felt even redder from the words shouted at her, even if he didn't acrually said any of these words, it hurt to hear that she was a lonely nerd with no hope to getting any man.
"Enough Elias! You have said too much! If you try as much as to look at him wrong, consider me your mortal enemy!" These words hit him like a bucket filled with cold water, it felt as if his heart was cut in half. As much as he wanted to just grab her away and force her to be his, he knew her kind and strong personality would make her hate him with all her strength.
So he solemnly made his sword disappear, looking at the ground with hopelessness.
"...I'm sorry, this won't happen again." He looked at them, the insect had his arms wrapped around her perfect hips and he was almost willing to break his promise right away.
"Hey, you also stop that! Don't get so clingy!" The hero stepped back, his hands up like he was caught by the police, and gave a good look at the woman with a red face pouting that was in front of him.
"Don't be so harsh on him, you just made my heart skip a beat with such an adorable expression." The woman clicked her tongue, Elias cursed inwardly and Chat sighed.
Annie was left wondering if helping this poor, cute looking troublemaking man with such smooth talk was truly a good ideia.
