Lumina was on high alert, as if I could devour her at any moment.
Honestly, it would have been impossible to fight again as I was still recovering my stamina. I returned my sword to its sheath, as if to show I intended to keep my word.
Lumina furrowed her brows.
"What, are you utterly disregarding me? Such a despicable...!"
"I have no intention of shaming you, nor of killing you."
"Don't make me laugh, bullshit!"
Her distrust of humans seems deeply rooted. Why, I wonder.
"I came here to deal with you in the first place. I don't particularly want to kill a beautiful woman like you; I'd have bad dreams."
Lumina showed a momentary look of surprise. This was an unexpected reaction.
But it was the truth. Isn't there a saying that beauty forgives all?
Lumina is beautiful. And she's big, probably older than me.
They say Beastfolk live longer and age slower than humans.
"Or, you don't really want to die, do you? If you wish, I can make it happen."
