Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Their minds went into a frenzy from looking at Acht. In their eyes, he was simply out of this world. Not only was he extremely handsome but also very elegant with his demeanor which added even more coolness to the uniform.

"So, how do I look?" He asked.

"100/10," Leislet said with the most serious face she ever had. What she didn't notice was that her nose started bleeding again.

As for Scarlett, she was still not woken up from her trance. Her eyes didn't leave Acht for one single moment.

Then, she stood up and walked toward him with steady steps before grabbing his hands.

"What?"

"Let's do a photoshoot." She said,

"Huh?"

"A photoshoot. I want to take a few pictures. We never did this before and now that you wore this uniform we must do it."

Leislet pondered for a moment before she smiled widely and nodded her head.

"I guess your peanut brain can come out with good ideas from time to time. This is great. We can take a lot of pictures." She said,

"I thought of taking pictures by the river. Or maybe close to the mountain." Scarlett gave out her suggestion.

"Yes yes! We can also do it beside a huge forest. Or maybe…" Leislet also started putting out ideas like a machine with an excited face. She almost started drooling from just thinking about all the potential places where Acht could look amazing.

"Oii, wait! I still didn't agree." Acht tried to stop them before they flew away with their ideas.

"Oh, why though?"

"Yes, why?"

They asked him with a matter-of-factly look. It was as if he was trying to refuse the obvious which made it even harder for him to refuse.

"Ok, we can do that. But, no weird positions, no weird photos, and most importantly no naked pics!" He stated his conditions after a long sigh of exasperation.

'If I refuse they will probably not stop begging me for it. Let's get this over with.' He thought.

Deep inside, Acht actually was keen on the idea and wanted to try it out. He never really took that many pictures of himself before. A new experience was always welcomed.

"But, do you guys even have came-"

Before he could even complete his question, Leislet and Scarlett pulled out two high-quality cameras from their spatial rings and gave a thumbs up.

"Ready!"

"Always has been!"

"Sigh…I think I might've made a mistake in accepting this." He murmured with a complicated gaze.

"Ok! Off we go!"

"Yes! Let's go."

The two started walking away happily but Acht immediately grabbed their collars and stopped them in their place.

"Where do you think you two are going?" He asked calmly but with a menacing look.

"Mm, photoshoot?"

"No! This is working time. Get back to work now! We can take photos after work!" He said.

"Noooooo!!" They both protested like two small children begging their father for candy.

"I won't take no for an answer. Go back to work or there will be no photos."

"Ok…" They accepted dejectedly and walked away.

"They are just like a bunch of spoiled children," Acht murmured with a small smile.

***************************

"Fuh!! Finally over. It's finally fucking over!!" Leislet said as she lay down on the ground, exhausted. They had to arrange hundreds of books today so it was pretty exhausting.

"Yes, that was pretty hectic."

Acht came over and gave them two cups of water.

"Good work both of you." He said.

*Sip*

They both sipped the cups of water and eyed Acht silently.

"I know I know. Ok, we can take these photos. But aren't you both tired?"

The moment they heard the word 'tired' they both jumped on their feet as if they were electrocuted.

"Not at all."

"My stamina is endless."

"...Ok."

The group then closed the library and left. The sun was already setting on the horizon. It will take a few more hours for it to fully disappear but it was still very beautiful.

"Ok, so where should we go?"

"Let's first start with the house. I want to take a pic of Acht sitting on top of the house and gazing at the horizon."

"Why though?"

"Shhh, it's not something you should ask about, Acht. It's for artistic purposes. Just do what we tell you without asking why."

"Mm, ok." He replied with a weirded-out look.

'Since when did you become an artist?' He thought in his head.

The three reached the house and stood outside without entering. The two women made Acht jump on top of the house and sit on the edge.

"Tuck your knees in and put your hands on them."

"Ok."

He did what he was told and he looked at the horizon. The two then pulled out their cameras and started taking pics from all angles. They looked like two professional photographers working with a clear passion for their work.

*Click* *Click* *Click*

They then took a look at their pics and shook their heads. They seemed to agree on something which was rare.

"Acht! Can you look sad or melancholic now? I want more flavor in the photo." Leislet shouted.

"Melancholic? Hmm, I will try." He replied after some thought.

Then, he quickly changed his expression from normal to sad and then to someone who was deep in melancholy.

"Is this good?"

"Perfect! That's amazing! Keep that look and now gaze at the horizon. Don't move an inch."

The two then took many more pics and took a look at them.

However, they didn't say anything at all. It made Acht confused so he went down to see them himself.

"Were they bad?"

"...No, they are just too good to be true. You are just too good for this world, Acht. That's unfair." Leislet said as she shook her head with a sigh.

"If you were just a little bit more normal-looking. How life could be this unfair!"

"Very true, Scarlett. He is cursed indeed."

"Huh? I can't understand whether you like my looks or not."

"You won't get it. It's women's stuff. Don't ask about that or you will get punished."

'What the fuck are these two on about? Sigh, I guess my understanding of women as ex-hitman is quite lacking. I need to work on that.' He thought.
