Enya's Episode

Hey... How've you been?

Enya? What's going on?

Why are you so stiff? I came all this way to greet you warmly.

Greet me warmly...? We're not really that close, are we? And every time you show up out of the blue, it makes me uneasy.

Hmm... As long as you're not some wicked heretic, I won't be hostile. You're not a heretic, right?

Well... I guess not. So, what's this about?

I'm here on Mordred's request, asking for your help. Though, I also came because I wanted to see you.

Help?

A secret facility of the heretics has been discovered. They seem to be planning some suspicious ritual, and we can't just leave it like that.

You and I can team up and crush them in one go. The heretics who try to escape will be dealt with by Mordred.

Not doing it.

Huh? What did you just say?

I said I'm not doing it. I agree that we should drive the enemies back, but I want to rest. I've just been through a lot in dungeons recently.

Hmm... I can't just let you go like that.

What...?

Mordred gave me an order, and I can't just ignore you if you refuse.

Hehe... looks like it's time for some action. I'll make sure you follow me!

Ah...

Hmm... Is it morning already...?

Hehe, hey... You're looking healthy this morning!

...?

Aaaahh! Enya! Why are you here?

Didn't I say it yesterday? Since you refused, I have no choice. I'm making you my prisoner now.

How come?

I have to get what I want, no matter what. So, darling? Just give up and take your clothes off.

Your goal's changed!

Hmm... You don't like it? Maybe I'll give you the right to control my body.

C-control... your body...?

How's that? Bet you've got a lot on your mind, huh? I can tell. The people around you must be, well, not exactly up to your standards.

...gulp.

Th-then... just a little bit...

Hehe, come on... Let's become one. And we'll have fun fighting those heretics, okay?

...Ha!

Th-that's a tempting offer, but... this is not it. I'm not that easy of a guy!

You say that, but your sword is radiating some serious energy... Hmm?

Aaah! Get out!

Hey, darling... You should eat this, try the sausage!

...

Hmm? Why are you keeping your mouth shut? Look this way and open your mouth.

...Please, leave me alone. You said we'd keep a cooperative relationship, but how is this cooperation? You're just tormenting me!

Hmm... Wouldn't it be better to say I'm just enjoying it? I mean, it's for work, after all.

That's not sincere. Even if you meant it, this way is wrong. If you like someone, you should show respect.

I'm respecting you plenty.

Where's the respect?

Really! If I didn't care about you, I would've already stripped you and taken that wonderful sausage for myself.

Cough cough!

Having trouble chewing? Want me to feed you?

Just hand it over...

Aren't you thirsty? Have some water.

Gulp!

Why are you so surprised?

Can't you just give it to me normally? Why do you have to shove the water... between your chest?

This is nothing. You're shyer than I thought!

I'm not embarrassed; you should be! It's humiliating just being near someone who's this clueless!

Hmm... Is that so? Where I was born, this was just normal.

What kind of village was that place?

It was just a typical slum. A den of the poor, worn down by poverty and war.

So it was one of those places caught in the turmoil of war...

That place was already a mess before. Wars are a problem for the nobles, right? The poor commoners were always there.

It was a place where people with no escape from all sorts of misery gathered... In other words, it was like a trash bin.

Hmm... That's kind of a sad story.

Not really.

In a place like that, they probably did anything to survive. I can understand why you're like this.

Hehe, right? Then, darling, here's some water!

Still, I don't like this way!

Hmm... Too bad.

Anyway, there'll be plenty of opportunities. No matter what, you'll eventually be mine.

Take it easy. I don't like shallow relationships. If you really want me, you should learn to listen.

Hmm... So that's your type? I'm not fond of it, but if that's what you want, maybe I'll be your slave for today.

That's not what I meant...!

Fine. Do whatever you want.

Hehe, really? Then, hey... when you're done eating, want to come to my room?

I'm saying I won't entertain this...

Slurp... To think they were secretly doing this. These heretics all need to be wiped out.

Sigh... Is that candy in your mouth? Give me some, too. My mouth's dry from all this tension.

Hmm? I don't have any right now.

Sigh...

Why have you been sighing since earlier, darling?

Don't you know? It's because of you! This morning, you even crawled into my blanket! In that outfit!

How far are you planning to take this?

Hmm... If you hadn't listened, I was going to tie you up and tickle you. And suck on your toes.

I knew it!

That's called torture. It's not going to end well if the relationship is one-sided like that.

But you followed me here, didn't you?

W-Well... I had to protect myself!

Anyway, you are mine now.

...Enya, do you like me?

If I like you, then I like you, and if not, I don't. I don't really understand those kinds of feelings.

I see... I really don't know where to start with you. You're so unpredictable, but Mordred still follows you.

Mordred is even more messed up than I am.

That makes sense...

Well... my village was a mess, but I wasn't always like this.

I don't remember it well, but I used to be called nice when I was little.

No way!

Rude, huh? I'm serious. I at least have some awareness of my actions.

You do?

Hey... Have you forgotten why you've stayed so pure until now?

Ugh...

It's true I'm interested in you, but when I see you complaining like a fool, I kind of want to take care of you.

Of course, duty comes first. But why is it that someone as skilled as you doesn't want to move?

It's not that I don't want to move, I just don't want to carry unnecessary risks.

Hmm... Even if it's temporary, we're in a partnership, so calling it unnecessary is weird.

Why did you even ask me to come along if you have the skills?

Mordred wants me to increase my hatred for Tiamat.

Hmm... why?

I don't really know. But if they're going to use me to achieve their goals, it's better if we have a common enemy.

You're quite the cool one That's sexy.

Hehe... Shall we heat things up tonight...

What are you talking about... Watch out, Enya!

Ugh...! Are... are you alright?

Ugh... I was... a bit late... Enya! Are you alright...?

...I'm scratched a bit, but it's nothing to worry about.

What about you, my dear? Did you leave a will or something? I'll finish you off with one strike.

You alright, my dear?

Phew... it just grazed me... looks like I was barely cut on the surface.

Damn it, I let my guard down. They weren't even that tough, and I got hurt... I should've been more careful since this isn't my usual party.

Don't worry, I dealt with it. It must hurt. Come here, into my arms.

Ha ha... You're making jokes now... If you keep this up, the bleeding won't stop.

...I was just making sure you're really okay.

Why did you save me?

Because we're on the same side.

You don't know how long it'll last. You said I was too much. Maybe it would've been easier for you if you didn't help me.

That's a different matter. Watching you collapse in front of me leaves a bad aftertaste.

Hmm... Well, I'm glad to hear that...

...Enya, are you worried about me right now?

Maybe...?

Heh... you're right. You do have some good sides.

But how did you become like this? Is war really the problem...?

...No. It's because of those damn heretics.

The village I grew up in was as low as it gets, but I was happy when I was a kid. I lived joyfully with my younger sibling.

Did the Tiamat Church followers hurt your sibling?

Yeah... It's a memory I don't want to recall.

She stayed bright until the end. Even when I looked sad, she gave me candy and told me to smile.

Enya...

After that day, I stopped thinking deeply about others. No one helped us, not even once.

But you're different. Honestly, I was kind of surprised earlier.

It's more of a reflex than anything. I'm not the kind of person who's on fire for justice.

So what? You're making my heart race now.

Here, a little gift for you.

Huh...? What is this, candy?

I don't usually give it to others, but for you... it's a special treat.

Mmm... thanks. That conversation was getting heavy, but this makes me feel better.

Heh...!

...? Why are you looking at me like that?

Who knows? Slurp.

W-what's with the candy all of a sudden? This feels suspicious...

What's so suspicious? I just wanted to feel the happiness I had with my sibling, that's all.

If you won't eat it... fine. I'll force it on you!

What?

Ah! E-Enya! Don't come any closer! This is suspicious! Nooo! Gulp...!

Heh, you were going to eat it anyway.

Is it good? I had it warm in my mouth just for you.

You were eating it?
