Chapter 291: Resonance of Love! (r18)
Kai sighed and looked up and found Shinobu secretly peeking at him.
Yet, the moment she noticed him looking at her, she closed her eyes and snorted. Kai's mouth twitched, a rueful smile surfacing on his thin lips.
Shinobu had said not one word to him after waking up.
On the first day, when she had regained momentary consciousness in his arms, Kai had recounted the events related to him and the demon to her.
When he mentioned him creating a new Breathing Style, Shinobu's dead eyes had flickered, filled with great amazement, wonder, and if Kai had seen it true, admiration.
But it was Kai's ambush that angered her the most, he could tell.
A vein kept popping up on her head now and then, and Kai knew it was the times she was recalling his strike, her eyes looking at him over her shoulder.
"I am sorry we will not reach the Entertainment District in time," Kai apologized, his gaze lifting from the fire to land on her face. "I didn't have the mind to jeopardize your mission."
Shinobu opened her eyes, noticed Kai's sincere tone, and for the first time in a while, sighed.
"You have nothing to apologize for, Arlen," she said, her gaze softening as she looked at him. "There was no such mission, to begin with."
Now that surprised Kai, making him raise an eyebrow.
