System vs Rebirth

"Does that mean that you're planning to pursue me now? I'm letting you know that I'm not that easy." Anna tried to tease him back.

"Woah. I wonder how you can be so confident? I just talked about philosophy, and somehow you linked it to how much I wanted to marry you?" Noel looked at her as if he was disgusted.

Anna flipped her body so that she could look at Noel's face from above. "Is that so? Are you sure about that?"

She knew that Noel would express it that way, so she looked like it didn't bother her a bit.

Noel couldn't help but flick her forehead.

"Ouch! What are you doing?" Anna asked while rubbing her forehead. "Did you just lose an argument with me and choose to retaliate with that flick?"

"It is not that simple. What I wish to do is something that comes with a huge price… I'm not going to let someone shoulder that burden for no reason." Noel shook his head. "I have my own responsibilities, you know."

Anna smiled. "As expected of Noel Ardagan, I guess?"

"Of course." Noel rose from the bed and said, "In any case, I want you to know that I recorded your promise. Once we're done with this trip, you're going to tell me a lot of things."

"I am not someone who will take back my words." Anna harrumphed. "But it will take a long time to tell you about everything."

"I have a lot of time. Besides, I might have a question and we can even create a road map about everything that has happened so far, connecting the dots."

"Haha. Do you know it will take at least a week to do that?"

"Are you not up for it?"

I'm ready! Besides, I'm also curious about what you can find from my information." Anna suddenly grinned, teasing Noel, "When that happens, how are you going to pay me? Don't tell me you're going to pay
