Part 240: Robin A

Enough, Robin!

What? What's wrong?

You've been mocking both me and your training. Don't deny it.

How so?

When we spar, you adopt a curious expression and poke me in the ribs.

And haven't you noticed how much more relaxed you've been?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about how I stand close, and you don't even break a sweat.

...Gods above... It's true. How could I not notice? What witchcraft is this?!

No magic, I swear. Just two comrades-in-arms who've grown accustomed to fighting side-by-side. I'm sorry if my behavior seemed strange, but I was only trying to help. I know all about your phobia of women, so I came up with a plan. I thought if I acted strangely enough, you'd be so distracted, you'd forget all about it!

Heh. You are a con artist of the highest order...

Hey! I made you laugh again!
