Erica: When My Friend Becomes Obsessed with Me

Erica is an S-Class mercenary with overwhelming skill. Following her everywhere is Chaud, another S-Class mercenary. “Erica, let’s become permanent partners. Pair up with me—and only me.” “Why are you so desperate to work with me?” “Because it pisses me off.” “…What?” “Just thinking about you running around with some useless bastard instead of me makes me so angry I can’t even sleep.” They were the same age. Both were S-Class mercenaries. Even their reckless, foul-tempered personalities were strangely alike. Maybe that was why they felt an unspoken sense of kinship. After all, they became close almost instantly. “Erica. There’s something I want so badly that I feel like I’m going insane because I can’t have it. If someone else takes it from me, it’s war. I mean it.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but why are you glaring at me while saying that? Did I steal it from you or something?” “Every time you do that, I feel like crying.” Years later, Erica found herself completely bewildered. “W-Why the hell are you doing this?” “I told you, Erica.” He spoke in a low voice. “If someone else takes it from me, it’s war.”
