"Betty!"
Satou Kazuma slowly pushed the door open, and what came into view was a girl reading a book.
Her figure was small and delicate, like a carefully carved porcelain doll, sitting in a large armchair, almost swallowed up by the heavy, fancy dress.
Most striking was her cream-colored long hair, which did not hang down smoothly, but was cleverly curled into two huge spiral rolls, like solidified golden swirls, drooping on either side of her small shoulders, flowing with a silky, warm and cold luster in the light.
Fair skin and a young face made up an incredibly cute face, and her gem-like clear eyes were like butterfly eyes.
The great spirit guarding the forbidden library, Beatrice.
Beatrice turned her head to look at the door, her eyes meeting Satou Kazuma's.
"Betty was wondering why the whole mansion was so noisy today, turns out a fool came?"
Beatrice frowned, looking at Satou Kazuma. She didn't know why he had come to find her. She could hear Satou Kazuma calling her name through the door.
"What do you want Betty to d—"
Before Beatrice could finish speaking, Satou Kazuma closed the door.
???????
A confused look appeared on Beatrice's face for the first time.
What's going on?
Wasn't this person just shouting that he came to find me?
Why did he just leave after seeing me?
Just as Beatrice was looking puzzled, the door was opened again, and Satou Kazuma poked half his head in:
"Um, just to be sure, let me ask, are you Betty?"
"Nonsense! If Betty isn't Betty, who else could she be?"
"Oh, sorry to bother you."
Before Beatrice could finish speaking, Satou Kazuma closed the door again.
!!!???
Beatrice gritted her teeth at this moment, her small hands clenched into fists.
Outside the door, Satou Kazuma sat on the ground, looking lost.
"Why.....why....."
Satou Kazuma sighed helplessly,
"Why is it a little girl?"
Satou Kazuma only knew that Beatrice should be a beautiful, great spirit, but he didn't expect her to look so small.
Does she look ten years old?
If others find out that I'm longing for a little girl, I'll definitely be seen as a PDF.
Although I've already been seen as a pervert by many people, there are differences even among perverts.
And, and, and most importantly, if Aqua sees it, I'll definitely be laughed at as a PDF!
Absolutely unacceptable!
Satou Kazuma would rather be beaten up by Elsa than be mocked by Aqua!
I need to leave this place quickly!
Just as Satou Kazuma got up to leave, the door behind him was suddenly opened, and Beatrice crossed her arms, looking at Satou Kazuma with a displeased expression:
"Just who are you, you make Betty feel annoyed just looking at you!"
"My name is Satou Kazuma, nice to meet you!"
Satou Kazuma said with a slightly embarrassed expression, still greeting her.
"What did you come to Betty for in the first place! If you don't tell me, Betty will definitely not let you off easily!"
"I....."
Satou Kazuma hesitated for a moment, but remembering what Puck had said, the great spirit's strength is very powerful. If he angers her, he might not even have a body left.
Although Aqua has the ability to revive, can she do it if there's no body left?
After thinking for a second, Satou Kazuma came straight to the point and spoke his mind:
"I came here originally to invite you to join our team."
"Huh?"
Hearing Satou Kazuma's words, Beatrice only felt a burst of confusion.
Invite me to join?
What does that mean?
Does it mean letting me leave the forbidden library?
In that instant, Beatrice's eyes became somewhat complicated, as if some emotion that only she knew was brewing.
But just a second later, Beatrice returned to her previous somewhat cold and arrogant expression:
"Then what did you mean by suddenly leaving just now?"
"Because you're a little girl. If I forcibly pull a little girl onto a team, others will look down on me and even see me as a 'kid lover' pervert."
Satou Kazuma said, while waving his hand, revealing a disgusted expression,
"If I get labeled as a kid lover, my reputation will be ruined~"
He didn't notice that Beatrice's face next to him had already been shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
"Unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable! Just a little brat, daring to say such things to Betty! Betty will definitely not let you off lightly!"
Beatrice's voice even trembled.
Damn it, too awful!
What's more infuriating than being invited for no reason is being disliked for a ridiculous reason!
"Hey, hey, hey, you told me to say it!"
It was only at this moment that Satou Kazuma felt the terrifying aura emanating from Beatrice, and his heart rate suddenly accelerated.
Did I say something terrible?
Terrible, terrible, terrible, Betty is a great spirit.
The cuter they are, the more terrifying their strength usually is!
An ominous premonition instantly rose in Satou Kazuma's heart.
I seem to be doomed!
I feel like I can't even breathe...
"Betty will teach you a lesson!"
Beatrice stepped forward and reached out her hand towards Satou Kazuma.
And the next moment, Satou Kazuma fainted and lost consciousness.
...
I don't know how much time has passed.
Satou Kazuma slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a white ceiling and a fancy chandelier.
He could feel a comfortable softness, and only then did he realize that he was lying on an incredibly high-end bed.
"Wake up, Kazuma, how long are you going to sleep? Dinner is about to start!"
Aqua directly grabbed Satou Kazuma's cheeks and shook them, saying.
"Are you okay, Kazuma-sama!"
Next to Aqua, Emilia was looking at Satou Kazuma with some concern.
"Should be nothing wrong, what happened?"
Somewhat unable to recover, Satou Kazuma turned his head to look to the other side. Roswaal was talking to Beatrice:
"Betty, what did you do?"
"This fool was just too annoying! Betty originally wanted to draw a little mana from him to teach him a lesson!"
"So I was knocked out by a great spirit?"
Satou Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief, at least he saved his life.
And just at this moment, Beatrice continued with an incredulous expression:
"But Betty didn't even touch him. He just fainted from fright!"
