I battle Kinzo with my full power (Pink Trigger's Power >199)

I knew it would take too long to defeat Kinzo, but dammit, I had to try. He had offered me a sorcerer's contract: defeat me and take my daughter. I couldn't turn down that offer any more than he could have turned down a chance to reunite with his beloved Beatrice.

"Good, gooood! Kill me, Player! Kill me and claim the night!"

I don't need the night, dammit! I just need one woman!

Eva could only watch in astonishment as the two of us began by erecting magic barriers. Mine was a little weaker, I could feel it... After all, I had to protect Eva too, not just myself. I couldn't stand to see her caught in the crossfire of this battle and destroyed. Dashingly, I thought, I grabbed the woman's body and pulled her close to me, while spinning the chamber of my Pink Trigger revolver. I warned the old man that this really would be the end of him.

That only seemed to amuse him. Before I knew what was happening, fire erupted from the study. It seemed to engulf him instantly; I wondered how he could have survived his own spell, destructive as it was. At the same time, I held my barrier strong, feeling my power fading. Even if he couldn't best me, I'd be dead soon enough at this rate.

"Player! What is this?! I can't understand any of it! But you... saved me?"

Her shock was understandable. I had no answer for her, nor any time to answer her... Instead, I locked my lips over hers, kissing deeply. I could feel her heart pounding; she made no moves to resist. Who could think of one's husband or son in this situation? This might just be a bad dream, after all. With flames roaring around us, I embraced her, sating my lust as deeply as I could manage to in this short time. I explored greedily with my tongue; I withdrew it and kissed her neck, then I nibbled her ear. I was as mindless as one of those hungry goats. I could feel the quickness of her pulse and the heat on her body, just as strongly as the fires approaching us. I allowed my hand to explore further, unlatching the neck of her bodice and reaching in to recklessly grope at her breast. My other hand went for her hips, rubbing desperately as though for survival rather than lust.

"Player! You've taken your eyes off your opponent, haven't you?"

It was that blasted old man. I pointed my pink gun at the source of the voice and fired, over and over again, six times. The laughing didn't stop. What did I think was going to happen? I can't kill in this story.

I realized that I didn't just want to fuck Eva any more... I wanted to save her. I wanted to take her away from this madman and his blaze. Not just that: I wanted to get her off this island. Why did she have to die here? She shouldn't be dying in this fight or any other. She ought to live with her husband and her son as a loving mother. I dropped my pistol and held her tightly, then placed my cheek upon her shoulder and sobbed, revealing myself to be the miserable man that I was. To my amazement, I felt her gloved hand stroke my blond hair... She was comforting me.

No, that's not quite right. She spun me around, shoved me towards the inferno, then ran. Ah... Right. I had kissed her out of the blue and even if I hadn't, I'd tried to make her my reward for murdering her father. No wonder she felt no affinity for me.

I felt wounded, but both my grudge and my surprise faded in a moment. Ushiromiya Eva... A little betrayal like this won't affect my love for you. I joined Kinzo for a laugh, first in my throat, then deep from my belly, as the fires from the study grew and seemed to consume us both. Eva, oh Eva! I'll return for you!
