"Yo! Juliana! Keep it down, will you? You are scaring the rats!" Alex shouted, waving his hand.

Juliana heard his voice. She froze. She spun her head around so fast her neck almost snapped! Snap!

She saw him. She saw Alex walking towards them with that smug, annoying, handsome smile on his face.

Immediately, her face turned red with rage! She remembered last day! She remembered how he made fun of her! She remembered the "snot" story!

"ALEX! YOU BASTARD!"

She didn't even say hello. She reacted with violence!

She grabbed the heavy wooden tankard in her hand. It was half-full of beer. And she threw it!

SWISH!

She hurled the tankard straight at Alex's face! It flew through the air like a cannonball!

Lloyd gasped. "Juliana! No!"

But Alex was a Master Alchemist with hidden stats! His reflexes were god-like!

He didn't panic. He simply tilted his head to the left. Just one inch.

Whoosh.

The tankard missed his ear by a hair! It flew past him and crashed into the wall behind him. SMASH! Beer exploded everywhere, soaking a random drunk guy who was sleeping there.

"Nice throw," Alex mocked, not even looking back at the destruction. "But you missed. Your aim is as bad as your temper."

He didn't stop walking. He walked right up to her.

Juliana was panting. Her chest was heaving up and down. She was wearing her usual crop top and leggings, which was very tight. It squeezed her ample bosom, making them look like they were about to pop out.

"Don't come near me!" Juliana hissed, baring her teeth like a wild cat. "I am still mad at you! You lied to everyone!"

Alex ignored her warning. He walked right into her personal space. He stood right next to her chair. He was so close he could smell her sweat and leather.

"Aww, don't be like that, Julie," Alex cooed.

And then, he did it.

He reached out his hand. Fast as lightning. Zip.

He aimed for her side. Right there, between the top of her pants and the bottom of her crop top. There was a small gap of exposed skin. It was her sensitive spot!

PINCH.

Alex pinched the side of her stomach! He grabbed a little roll of her soft, white flesh and squeezed it!

"AHHHH~!"

It happened instantly. It wasn't a scream of pain. It wasn't a shout of anger.

It was a moan! A loud, involuntary, high-pitched moan! It sounded... lewd! It sounded like she was enjoying it!

The sound echoed in the loudness of the bar.

Juliana's eyes went wide. She realized what sound just came out of her own mouth! She realized she just moaned in front of her boyfriend because another man pinched her!

Snap!

She clamped her mouth shut instantly! She pressed her lips together so hard they turned white! Her face exploded into a bright crimson red! She looked like a tomato that was about to burst!

She slowly, terrifiedly, looked down.

She looked at Lloyd.

Lloyd was sitting there. He was looking up at her. His mouth was hanging open. He looked confused. He looked hurt. He looked like a puppy that just got kicked.

"J-Juliana?" Lloyd squeaked.

Juliana stammered. She didn't know what to say! She didn't know why that idiot Alex did that in front of her boyfriend! And she didn't know why her body reacted like that!

"I... I..." she stuttered, sweat forming on her forehead. "It... it was a reflex! He pinched me hard! It hurt!"

'Liar!' Alex thought, smirking. 'It didn't hurt. You liked it.'

Lloyd swallowed hard. He looked at Alex, then at his girlfriend's red face. He wanted to be angry. He wanted to be a man!

He reached up and adjusted his glasses nervously. Push. The light reflected off his lenses, making him look like a generic anime nerd.

"That... that is inappropriate, Alex," Lloyd said, his voice trembling like a leaf. "You shouldn't touch her like that. She is my girlfriend. And... and that sound... it wasn't very lady like."

"Inappropriate?"

Alex laughed. Ha!

He pulled out a chair opposite them. Scrape. He sat down heavily, spreading his legs wide, asserting his dominance over the table. He leaned back and looked at the weakling mage with pity.

"What is inappropriate, Lloyd?" Alex asked, acting totally innocent. "We are party members. We are comrades. A little pinch between friends is normal, right?"

"N-no!" Juliana finally found her voice. She slammed her hands on the table. "It is not normal! You can't just touch me! It is inappropriate! Lloyd is right! You are crossing the line, Alex!"

She was trying to defend her honor. She was trying to act tough. But her face was still burning red with embarrassment.

Alex looked at her. He looked at her flustered face. He decided to tease her. He decided to drop a bomb right in the middle of this little couple.

He leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand. He looked Juliana right in the eyes with a bored expression.

"Inappropriate?" Alex scoffed. "Seriously, Juliana? You are acting so shy now? Why?"

He paused for dramatic effect.

"It is not like you haven't seen me fully naked, so it is okay, right?"

...

...

Silence.

Dead silence.

The air in the bar seemed to freeze.

Lloyd's brain stopped working. Critical Error.

Juliana's soul left her body.

"W-w-what?" Lloyd stammered. He looked at Alex. Then he looked at Juliana. Then back at Alex. "N-n-naked?"

His voice cracked. It went so high it could break glass!

"You... you saw him... naked?" Lloyd whispered to Juliana, his eyes wide with horror and betrayal.

Juliana was flabbergasted. She was paralyzed! She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out! Just little squeaks!

"Eeeh? Ah... I... no... wait..."

She was trying to deny it! But the problem was... it was technically true! Or at least, partially true! There was that one time in the dungeon changing room... or that time by the river... accidents happened! Or when they were younger...

But the way Alex said it?! He made it sound like they had a secret affair! He made it sound like she inspected him!

Alex just sat there, grinning like the devil himself.

"Yeah," Alex continued, adding salt to the wound. "Don't you remember, Julie? You stared for a long time. I thought you were going to take a picture. So, a little pinch is nothing compared to that, right?"

"ALEX!!!" Juliana screamed, her face so red she looked like she was going to explode. "SHUT UP! THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT! I DIDN'T STARE! SHUT UP!"

Lloyd just sat there, adjusting his glasses over and over again, murmuring, "Naked... she saw him naked... fully naked..."

He looked like his world was ending.

Alex chuckled.

'Too easy. These two are too easy.'

[NTR Points Gained: +50 (Boyfriend's Mental Damage)]

The System chimed in Alex's head.

'Nice,' Alex thought.

...

Alex wasn't done yet. Oh no. He had just dropped a nuclear bomb about the nudity, but he still had a few more missiles left in his arsenal. He watched them squirm. He watched Juliana turning red and Lloyd turning pale.

He decided to go for the fatality.

He took a sip of the beer that was on the table (which wasn't his, but who cares?). He wiped his mouth casually.

"And hey," Alex said, snapping his fingers like he just remembered a grocery list. "Since we are walking down memory lane... what about Last Day? You know, the incident?"

Juliana froze. Her eyes bulged out. "W-what incident?"

"You know," Alex smirked, pointing at his own crotch. "The time where you grabbed my dick."

...

CRASH!

BANG!

It was instantaneous! The moment the words left his mouth, gravity increased by ten times around the table!

Both Lloyd and Juliana fell from their chairs at the exact same time!

Lloyd simply slid off his chair like a liquid slime. He hit the floor with a dull thud. His soul had left his body.

Juliana tried to stand up to protest, but her legs gave out from the shock. She tipped backward and crashed onto the dirty bar floor with her legs in the air!

"Ouch!" Juliana cried out.

But Lloyd? Lloyd didn't care about the physical pain. He was dying inside! He was writhing on the floor in spiritual agony!

He lay there, looking at the ceiling with dead eyes. His brain was replaying the sentence over and over again. 'She grabbed his dick... she grabbed his dick...'

'No...' Lloyd whimpered internally. 'It can't be... she grabbed his? But... but she hasn't even grabbed mine yet! We have been dating for years! Years!!! And she hasn't even touched my little wand! She said she was shy! She said she wanted to wait until marriage! But she grabbed Alex's?!'

Tears streamed down his face. It was the ultimate betrayal!

Juliana scrambled up from the floor. She was messy. Her hair was everywhere. Her face was the color of a ripe apple.

"ALEX! THAT IS SO WRONG!" Juliana screamed, pointing a shaking finger at him. "STOP LYING! STOP TWISTING WORDS!"

Alex looked down at her with a confused face. He acted like he was the one being wrongly accused.

"Wrong?" Alex asked. "Are you saying it didn't happen? Are you telling me that your hand didn't touch my holy sword? Are you calling me a liar?"
