Just as Ryuto was complaining.

"Come on, darling!"

Miyuki reached out her hand towards Ryuto on the ground.

"Um... I think I'll handle this myself."

After a brief thought, Ryuto declined. It's better to handle things on his own, otherwise he might be fooled. That's the lesson learned from experience, are such lessons rare?

"Really, if I knew it would be like this, I should've just taken advantage of the opportunity earlier."

Miyuki grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, what's with that, don't say such scary things."

Ryuto complained as he struggled to stand up.

Having taken two consecutive hits, even though he didn't die, the damage would not be trivial.

It seemed like things were coming to an end, and some onlookers dispersed.

"Alright, let's go back to our room, I'm even more tired now."

Ryuto said as he walked towards the hotel.

But...

"Yes, while I also want to quickly return to our secret room with darling, don't you think there are still some things you should tell me?"

"Things?"

Ryuto stopped in his tracks, turning around puzzled.

"Exactly, why didn't darling mention the auction earlier?"

Miyuki asked knowingly.

"Oh, that, you're right, why didn't I mention it? I probably just forgot."

In response, Miyuki simply closed her eyes and adjusted her shiny golden hair.

"Well, since darling said he forgot, then it seems like I've forgotten too. If both of us forgot, I guess darling and I are truly a perfect match!"

...It feels like the original meaning was completely misunderstood.

"That thing?"

"Yeah, the thing darling asked me to do."

"Hey, hey, you remember that, right?"

Ryuto complained.

"Do I? What thing? I truly don't remember."

Miyuki just looked confused.

"That's too much."

Ryuto clearly wouldn't accept this explanation.

"Well, it seems like I do remember a little."

"Then you do remember?"

"No, I just vaguely remember a little bit, still quite far from recalling it completely."

How far exactly?

"...Memories can be such a nuisance."

Ryuto was a bit exasperated.

"Indeed, I feel the same way, however, I do know a method for treatment."

"Treatment method? Then quickly..."

"Since darling agreed as well, there's no problem."

Saying so, Miyuki leaned in, the two of them almost in an intimate position.

"Hey, why are you getting so close?"

Ryuto said as he stepped back, but Miyuki kept moving forward.

"What am I doing? I am treating you, of course."

Miyuki answered with just a smile.

"Treatment? How is this treatment? What does this have to do with it?"

"Of course, it's related. This treatment requires darling to be effective. The specific method is..."

Saying that, she brought her face closer.

"Darling, just give me a kiss here, and I should remember right away, for real."

She pointed to her face as she said this.

"Hey, hey, how could that possibly work? I've never heard of such nonsense."

Even though you added 'for real' at the end to make it more believable, it just makes it more suspicious.

"Though it sounds absurd, it does work, you know. If you don't believe it, darling, you can give it a try."

"Hey, are you just trying to goad me into it?"

"Well... geez, darling, you're as sharp as ever."

Miyuki pouted unhappily.
