There was no longer any of the previous anger or momentum.
Although he didn't know why, he just felt like he was lower in stature in front of Herbert.
Why is that?
"Hehe."
Seeing Cyril's confused look, Herbert also smiled slightly.
Yes, why is that?
Could it be because I've taken a few more steps towards adulthood than you?
Right? Right?
No! Way! Right!
However, although Cyril seemed about to back down, Herbert found this outcome too dull.
Not acceptable.
Don't be soft!
You look more interesting when you're excited.
"Hehe."
"Hmm? Why are you laughing?"
Herbert chuckled twice and, after catching Cyril's attention, blinked and said:
"What, you want to play the role of a male consort too? Cyril, what I say might hurt you, but I think you'd better look in the mirror more often."
Cyril: ?
The young man hesitated for a moment, frowning uncertainly.
"You... are you insulting me?"
Was he insulting me with that remark?
He must have been, right!?
