/POP Alice/
[When he calls my name "Alice," suddenly my heart feels warm. But that is a strange name to me… yet somehow familiar too. This is weird. Why do I feel this way?]
Alice felt shy after that, and she sat on his bed while waiting for Sana.
Her heart beat very fast, wildly out of control, like it would come out of her body.
[This is weird. I am the strongest dragon in this world—how can I be so easily shy like this? I have never felt this way before. But this does not seem right… because my heart had only been with Ino Talaka, right?]
Sana came to see her after he put on his clothes. His face was still flushed, making the situation more awkward.
Sana's voice trembled. "Why are you here, young lady?"
[How cute… he even called me "young lady." No one has ever called me that before. Interesting.]
Alice smiled. "Nothing, I just wanted to see you."
Her face blushed when she realized her mouth had spoken without her noticing. She quickly corrected herself.
"I mean, I want to ask you something. But first, I want to know your name. Is your name something like Natacy Lazota?"
Sana showed a sad expression. "Just call me Sana."
Alice softly spoke the name, "Sana…"
[Why does my heart feel warm when I say that name? If I keep calling it, I might lose control. This is weird… did a demon use some cursed item on me?]
For some reason, she didn't want to hurt him. This was not normal for her, especially with a stranger like him.
Sana smiled. "Yes, Alice."
[He says that name again.]
For some reason, she didn't hate it.
Alice said, "Just call me whatever you want."
His face lit up happily.
For some reason, her heart felt happy too.
[Maybe he is not bad.]
Sana's expression turned serious. "What do you want to ask me, Alice?"
Alice said, "I need you."
Her face turned red.
[Why does this happen again?]
Alice quickly shook her head. "No, no—I mean, I want you near me." Her voice trembled. "I mean… I need you to stay close to me wherever I go."
[Why do I keep saying these nonsensical things to him? I already have a fiancé…]
Sana asked, "But why do you want me by your side?"
Alice replied, "For some reason, I can see that you have potential."
[Why do I keep lying to myself again? His body can't use any mana, not even a sword…]
Sana's body looked very weak. It seemed so easy to kill him—even a normal boy could do it with bare hands.
Sana hesitated. He was deep in thought.
For some reason, Alice couldn't wait. She wanted to hear his answer now. She stood up, walked toward him—but the floor was still wet, and she almost fell.
[Why am I so reckless?]
But suddenly, something warm caught her.
Sana reacted very fast and saved her.
He used his body to protect her from hitting the ground. His face showed pain.
Alice's face flushed, but instead of worrying about his pain, her thoughts were—
[I like this warmth… I want to feel more of it. Why am I so addicted to it? He is so special.]
Sana avoided her eyes. "I'm sorry… I didn't use this chance to do anything weird to you."
She could hear his heartbeat.
[Why is his heart beating so fast, just like mine? This is wrong… my heart is only for my darling.]
Suddenly, someone came into the room.
A blonde girl entered—and saw the scene in front of her.
The most dangerous student in this school was hugging her childhood friend on the ground.
Lila: "..."
The atmosphere became awkward.
