I can tell, you're good."
Before that cold, or rather, steely gaze, Lina let out a dazzling smile.
This was not a blossoming flower, but the beauty of a razor sharp
blade honed to its finest.
Lina's hand suddenly moved!
Tatsuya swiftly intercepted the striking palm.
The edged right hand that Lina used the smallest possible movement
to stab forward with was caught at the wrist by Tatsuya.
The thrusting palm aimed for Tatsuya's chin was intercepted before it
could even reach the throat.
Lina shifted the captured right hand into a pistol shape and stabbed
forward with her index finger.
A terrifying claw came whistling towards Tatsuya's face.
In a flash, Tatsuya flung Lina's right hand to one side.
Lina frowned as the psion light gathered at the tip of her index finger
was dispersed before the blow landed.
"How dangerous."
"I believed that you would dodge it."
"Care to explain this for me?"
"Before that, can you let go of my hand? That stings, and this position
is a little embarrassing for me."
In order to fling her hand to one side, the distance between Tatsuya
and Lina's bodies had closed quite a bit. From the side, it looked like
Tatsuya was attacking Lina -- and forcing a kiss.
Tatsuya immediately let go of Lina's hand.
However, his eyes gave no hint of shame or remorse.
"Seriously, that hurt. You even left...... Huh? No trace? Precision
strength control?"
Lina wore a perplexed expression as she used her left hand to pull
back her right sleeve.
"After striking at the pressure point on another person's face, letting
you experience a little pain is the least you deserve."
"That was only a simple psion block that contains no threat
whatsoever. The most it could do was give the impression of being
struck by a gun."
"I do believe that more than justifies your violent treatment."
Even after seeing such a warm smile, Tatsuya's expression didn't relax
in the slightest.
Lina could only sigh and raise both arms.
"I get it, I get it. Please forgive my rudeness, Tatsuya-sama."
Lina reset her attitude and formally bowed to Tatsuya before raising
her head.
