Spring was just around the corner, but it didn’t seem like even one proper flower would bloom.
It must be spring, the season of flowers!

It was when Zimmer was smiling contentedly, imagining a mansion in full bloom with flowers.

“Damn it! Where should I aim? Ugh, just eat this!”

Jennifer, who was grumbling, vigorously extended her middle finger towards the sky.

“What happened?”

Zimmer asked as a formality.

Kristin and Jennifer had their fair share of quarrels, sometimes growling at each other like sworn enemies. Their relationship was unpredictable, whether it was good or bad.

It would likely be a trivial matter that they argued over.

“The commander said that her quirky personality didn’t change much in front of her fiancée. Before spring is over, Adele might run away, and she even bet my newly bought underwear on it.”

“Forget the underwear, what about the commander?”

It was unexpected. While Adele was not affectionate towards anyone else, she was surprisingly kind to Kristin.

“Yeah, it seems like the commander is planning to turn her fiancée into a mercenary during this opportunity.”

“No way.”

“It’s true. If you’re curious, go see for yourself. It seems like she’s planning to give her hellish training.”

Zimmer felt a bit uneasy.

He was concerned about what happened in the carriage earlier, and the atmosphere between the two seemed strangely cold just a moment ago.

Smack!

Entering the shooting range with worries, the two almost screamed when they saw an unimaginable scene.

Adele had ruthlessly slapped Kristin’s cheek.

Who was Kristin?

Despite looking so healthy, she was called a demon on the battlefield. Half of the enemies were scared of Kristin just by seeing the flag of the White Ghost Knights. Even if she were Adele’s fiancée, slapping Kristin’s cheek was unheard of.

Of course, there was a possibility that she deserved a scolding.

They pondered hard whether they should quickly run to save Adele, but if they did, could they survive? That’s when it happened.

“Woohoo, hahaha!”

Jennifer’s hair stood on end.

Just being slapped was shocking, but she laughed after being slapped.

“Doesn’t it look like she’s not showing any signs of shock, as if her taste has changed slightly?”

Zimmer had a different view from Jennifer.

“Well, I think it’s more like a kind of affection expression rather than losing taste.”

“What! An expression of affection?”

Jennifer, who was shaking her head, was shocked once again.

This time, Adele, who slapped Kristin’s cheek, didn’t just stand there; she kissed her.

“Hk! Ugh!”

He quickly covered his mouth, where a sob was about to come out.

What on earth was this situation?

“The situation is over. Let’s go.”

Zimmer turned away with an unsurprised expression.

However, Jennifer couldn’t take her eyes off the world of adults unfolding in the distance.

In fact, he was a pure young man who had never held hands with a woman at his age. Unable to tear himself away, he hid behind a tree, watching the spectacle, fascinated by the unfamiliar sight unfolding before him.
However, whether he knew he was being watched or not, Kristin’s sharp gaze caught his attention. Even with just a glance, it seemed like she could kill with her eyes.

Before such a calamity could occur, Jennifer crawled out of the shooting range.

“I just can’t understand this!”

Scratching her head, Jennifer wore a puzzled expression.

Just a little while ago, they seemed fierce, and she even got slapped, yet now they were kissing.

Moreover, it happened in broad daylight, in a place with clear visibility, at a level of passion that was scorching like the midday sun.

Kristin, even while glaring at them, did not stop the kiss.

As if she was declaring that Adele belonged to her.

Her expression was bold, arrogant, and oddly intriguing, making her appear even more unfamiliar to those who were watching.

“Commander, was she always into that kind of thing?”

At Jennifer’s question, Zimmer turned his head.

“Into that kind of thing?”

“Feeling pleasure from being hit, liking to be hit, getting excited when hit…”

Considering Jennifer’s words, Zimmer stroked his chin, pondering with a serious face.

“Well, I don’t know about what happens between those two. But one thing is for sure.”

“What is it?”

“If it’s Adele, she’s always ready to ignite.”

“Damn, the world of adults is mysterious!”

“Ah!”

As Adele was taking off her dress, she let out a faint scream. Tanya, who was helping her change clothes, quickly approached.

“Are you okay?”

Smiling painfully while caressing her right wrist, Adele replied.

“I can’t say I’m okay today.”

“Ah, your wrist is terribly swollen. Did you practice shooting today too?”

“Yeah.”

“Today seems really serious. At this rate, your wrist won’t recover before you even start shooting again.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Go and get an ice pack and medicine. Just stay quiet and don’t do anything!”

After sternly warning Adele, Tanya quickly left the room.

“Phew.”

Adele sat down on the bed, still dressed in thin Schumitz attire.

After shooting practice, her wrist always hurt due to the recoil. However, recently she had developed a knack for it, and after doing a warm compress, it would feel a bit better.

But today, she hadn’t realized the strain on her wrist while concentrating on hitting the targets thrown by Kristin.

Nevertheless, in the end, she bought her laughter.

“You jerk…”

“Are you talking about me?”

Adele was startled and turned around.

In his hands, Zimmer held the ice pack and the box of medicine that Tanya had gone to get.

“Leave them there.”

Intentionally wrapping her left hand around her right wrist, Adele spoke arrogantly.

“Arm, come here.”

“It’s fine; it’s nothing special.”

“Then, is it my turn to strike this time?”

“What?”

“I surprised you earlier. Suddenly attacked, and you ended up getting kissed. I thought of repaying the favor.”

As Adele and the teasing smile of Kristin met gazes, Adele wore a serious expression.

She didn’t know she would end up kissing in such a situation at the shooting range.
If I were to make excuses, at that time, my mind was entirely complex and confused with various emotions.

The desire to push him away and the longing were all tangled up, as if they were about to explode.

So, should we call it a sort of eruption?
