Looking back now, it seems that we should have paid more attention to this.
Later, in the fourth main quest, I encountered scattered monsters that had escaped from the [Hidden Dungeon - Art Gallery].
My thoughts suddenly stopped here.
This wasn't because I had run out of clues to dig deeper into, but because a sudden, excruciating pain shot through my finger, forcing me to snap back to my senses.
I looked up in surprise and saw a girl with disheveled hair staring intently at me, her open mouth holding the ring finger that I had forgotten to retract earlier.
I couldn't help but hiss, and instinctively tried to snatch my finger from her mouth: "Hiss—what are you doing!"
The crystalline thread flew through the air. I winced in pain, examining my withdrawn finger. I then noticed a loose ring of teeth marks at the base of my ring finger, from which blood was slowly seeping out.
I immediately pulled out a tissue from my pocket and covered the wound. I looked at the girl again, only to see Annie cross her arms and turn her head to the side, looking quite angry.
"You're such a clueless, unromantic blockhead!"
Anne preemptively silenced my impending accusation: "I just wanted to try it out and see your shy expression. How can someone see through me right away, and not only do I see through you, but I also point out the problem to your face! I'm so angry!"
I frowned even more deeply: "Then..."
"And what's more!" Annie emphasized again, her eyes brimming with tears as she turned back to look at me. "You even started daydreaming while talking to a girl like me who came to you so willingly! You have absolutely no respect for me! I'm even angrier now!"
I stared at her silently.
Indeed, judging from her appearance alone, Anne Fines is undoubtedly a beauty, with long, glossy black hair and a different type of beauty and slender, petite figure compared to the other women.
But it doesn't matter if a beautiful woman is just a washboard, and she often acts silly and impulsively.
This guy is totally outside my defensive range!
It's true that I was distracted during the conversation, but that doesn't justify letting her bite me!
She was angry for a while, then suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she turned her head and repeatedly examined my expression and my fingers, which were wrapped in tissue paper but were still bleeding. She then showed a timid expression.
You can imagine how terrible my expression must be right now.
This awkward silence lasted for quite some time. Just when I thought it would continue like this forever, Annie suddenly turned her head, closed her eyes, and held her right hand to her left wrist, shoving it in front of me.
"Okay, fine! I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to bite you, so... as the price, I'll let you bite me in the same spot!"
