Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

"....Is this a happy thing?" Connie stared at him with a look of extreme resentment: "I finally forgot about failing the exam, and now you are bringing it up again?"

"Sorry, sorry..."

There was no other way, and now his other free hand was forced to touch Connie's hair to comfort the girl who seemed to be upset.

But even so, Connie was still a little unhappy, and he couldn't help laughing:

"Don't care so much, anyway, you still have a chance, you can take the exam again in three years."

"But uncle and Rabinie are not here, I definitely can't do it..." Connie put his hands on his legs in frustration and lowered his head deeply.

"If you really can't do it, please me and I'll give you a backdoor?"

"... Is that okay?"

"It should be okay... If you really can't do it, I'll take the exam with you again?"

"Really? Then... It's a deal!"

The joke with a smile made Connie overjoyed. She held his hand to her chest and said with shining eyes: "Three years later! Let's go together again!"

"... Ah, uh, that's what I said, but..."

No, it's impossible to really accompany him to take the exam, right? ——Actually, the joke was misunderstood, which made Ash dumbfounded. He tried to clarify it in an ambiguous way, but Connie's eyes were already wandering.

Sometimes he secretly glanced at Linie beside him, and sometimes he glanced across his face, looking shy and nervous, but he couldn't figure out what the girl was thinking.

Finally, realizing that Linie seemed to be still in a daze, Connie mustered up the courage and even grabbed his hand in one go, and put it on his exposed belly.

At this moment, the girl, who could clearly feel the warmth and touch of the palm, froze, and the blush on her cheeks deepened unconsciously.

Her lips were tightly pursed and she could not make a sound, but her heartbeat and breathing became more rapid... Even Ash could clearly feel the softness and warmth under the palm, as well as the rapid heartbeat.

And Linie's eyes followed, falling on his hand, with a thoughtful expression, which made him feel that he should do something, or say something.

Although reason told him that he should stop all this, before he could say anything, a cold gaze pierced through the air like a sharp sword and pierced straight at him.

Looking up, he saw Rabinie staring at him with disgust.

The coldness of that look was enough to rival the most severe blizzard in the north, as if it could freeze people from a distance.

"Wait a minute, I was pushed down, right?" He hurriedly explained, trying to avoid the escalation of misunderstandings and ease the awkward and delicate atmosphere.

"....?"

Rabinie was stunned when he heard this, and then carefully examined Connie's hands. He immediately felt betrayed, rushed forward, grabbed Connie's wrist, and tried to push her to the ground, while angrily accusing:

"——Connie! You dared to say that to me yesterday?! Now you... can actually do such a thing?!"

"I didn't! This is just... just the uncle's request!" In a panic, Connie, who was holding Rabinie with both hands and trying his best to push him back in mid-air, blushed and subconsciously pushed the responsibility to Ash.

Ash pointed at himself in confusion, while Rabinie's angry rebukes came like a string of cannonballs: "Uncle's pervert said it! Are you going to agree to it?! Are you stupid?!"

"No... No! Didn't Rabinie show uncle his underwear yesterday? Who is stupider?!" Connie retorted unyieldingly, causing the dispute between the two to escalate instantly.

Ash, who was not sure if he was innocent, was stared at by Linie with an expressionless face because of the content of their conversation.
