I don't want that, either. You must understand, Ai-kun is... very protective of you. She doesn't take kindly to those who hurt you, and she can hold a grudge for a very long time.

But... a lot of time has passed. Perhaps she's cooled off by now. In any case, I'll do my best not to provoke her ire.

...I need to pick up a gift for her. Perhaps you might offer a suggestion or two?
