Chapter 91: A Flurry of Mishaps and Embarrassment

"...Foolish Rocco. Don’t throw around promises like ’I’ll do anything’ so carelessly," Sylas scolded him sharply.

Rocco was used to being called a fool by Sylas on a daily basis, so the insult didn’t spark his usual reactions of "Fool?!" or "What did you just say?!"

Instead, he simply blinked his eyes in confusion, his inner thoughts contradicting Sylas’s words.

What nonsense is he spouting?

I’m not a fool—I’m a super-cool and awesome big brother.

After a brief moment of blinking, Rocco gave Sylas a carefree smile.

He didn’t entirely understand the meaning behind Sylas’s words, but one thing was clear: it was time to sell Sylas some flattery.

This was the perfect opportunity!

"But! I really mean it! If it’s for you, Brother, I can do anything!"

"Wha—?"

"For my brother’s sake, I’d do anything—this and that too! No problem!"

Of course, Rocco was referring to simple things like giving shoulder massages or letting Sylas rest his head on his lap.

Brimming with confidence, Rocco puffed out his chest and flashed a proud grin, mentally willing Sylas to fall for his charm.

See?

I’m harmless, and my dog is harmless too.

Please believe me!

Sylas’s face turned bright red as he began trembling slightly.

Huh?

Why is he shaking?

Is he cold?

Rocco thought whiel tilting his head in curiosity.

"...You really can’t help how much you adore me, huh? What a cute little thing..." Sylas muttered while covering his mouth with the back of his hand as his cheeks reddened further.

"...Huh?" Rocco blinked his eyes, confused, as Sylas refused to meet his gaze.

The man continued mumbling to himself like he was reciting some kind of mantra.

Is this a test?

Rocco wondered.

Like in those stories where someone says, ’If you can do anything, prove it right here and now!’

Resolving himself, Rocco internally declared, Fine then! If that’s what it takes, I’ll show Sylas just how good I am at winning him over!

Taking a deep breath, Rocco exhaled with determination, got down on all fours, and crawled closer to Sylas.

"Leave it to me, Brother...!" Rocco declared with exaggerated seriousness.

The mission was clear: a simple shoulder massage.

Rocco shuffled forward with determination, aiming to circle around Sylas and deliver a few light pats on his shoulders before declaring the task complete.

His enthusiasm pushed him to pick up speed, but that was when disaster struck.

"—Huh?"

As he hastened his crawling pace, Rocco lost his balance, slipping and collapsing forward.

Panic surged through him as his trajectory became clear: he was headed straight for Sylas.

Specifically, his head was about to collide with his intimate area.

"Ahhh!"

This was bad—no, this was catastrophic!

If his head made contact with that, it wouldn’t just be the end of his mission; it’d be the end of him.

Sylas was already perpetually annoyed with him—this would undoubtedly earn Rocco a one-way ticket to his doom.

Is there even insurance for a situation like this?

Please, someone tell me there is!

Rocco’s thoughts spiraled in desperation as he scrambled for a solution.

Fortunately, Rocco’s "heroic reflexes" kicked in just in time.

Before disaster could strike, he managed to thrust his hands forward, catching himself mere inches away from Sylas’s intimate area.

"Phew!"

He narrowly avoided the catastrophe!

However, the crisis wasn’t over.

The new problem was immediately apparent.

"..." Sylas stared at him, silent and unreadable.

"..."

"A-Ah, um..." Rocco stammered, cold sweat began to running down from his face.

"..."

"This... this isn’t what it looks like!" he blurted nervously.

Although he’d averted the worst-case scenario, the result wasn’t much better.

Rocco’s hands were still hovering awkwardly in front of Sylas, and the silence between them was suffocating.

With his hands still raised, Rocco froze in place, his body shaking as his eyes locked onto the scene before him.

The soft touch he’d unintentionally given to Sylas’s sensitive spot sent a distinct, uncomfortable sensation through his palm.

In that instant, Rocco realized the situation had spiraled far beyond his control.

Both of his hands had inadvertently cupped the area, and now he had no idea how to escape this awkward predicament.

Rocco could feel Laxus’s gaze burning into him from nearby, amplifying his already overwhelming anxiety.

This was bad, really bad.

He couldn’t even bring himself to look up and check Sylas’s expression.

There was no way he could raise his gaze with that still in his hands.

Someone, please help me, he thought, desperately.

Then, after a long silence, Sylas’s voice broke through, low and tense.

"—...Huh?"

Rocco tilted his head in confusion, barely able to process what Sylas had said.

Before he could gather his courage to look up at Sylas, the man suddenly inhaled an air deeply, filled his lungs, and then shouted at the top of his lungs.

"—Get out!!"

The furious shout sent Rocco stumbling backward in shock.

He jumped off the bed with a yelp, his mind racing as he completely forgot about Laxus and his Mr. Bunny.

With tears welling up in his eyes, he scrambled out of the room.

It’s over... My life is totally over now... he thought, feeling utterly defeated.

—In the bedroom after Rocco had left.

Sylas, with his long, silver hair flowing behind him, hunched forward, his usual air of dignity and coolness completely vanished.

Normally, Laxus would have been mocking him for looking so pitiful, but after witnessing the entire scene, he couldn’t summon a single laugh.

Instead, all he felt was sympathy.

...That kid really was a mess, an idiot, and an absolute little devil.

"—Tell me honestly, you..."

"Don’t ask! You bastard!"

Seeing his strong enemy curled up and trembling in such a pathetic state, Laxus felt a pang of sympathy again.

He decided to quietly leave the room while taking the plush rabbit that the kid had left behind.

...It seemed like Sylas would need some time to deal with the mess he was in.

It wasn’t just gloomy—it was downright heavy, to the point where Laxus felt like the atmosphere was pressing in on him.
