Chapter 651: Side Story 2. Dance of Flame and Shadow - 10
"I’m going to stay."
That single sentence drove away all kinds of thoughts from Agni’s head. The sadness and the guilt, anger, and annoyance, nothing existed in his head anymore because what the fuck?!
They talked for so long and consumed his whole weekly coffee rations, and what--he’s going to stay?! Agni looked at the young scout incredulously. Wasn’t this entire conversation enough to convince this kid that this place wasn’t a good place to stay?
Agni clenched his jaw and inhaled deeply to control his emotion. What an ordeal for a berserker. Thankfully, he was just pouring out his feelings earlier, so he calmed down quickly. "Hey, listen--"
"You said you’re sorry," Ron cut him off with a sharp gaze. "Then you should let me stay."
"That’s exactly why I’m not letting you sta--"
"I said it’s alright, not that I forgive you," Ron crossed his arms and scoffed.
Agni blinked, totally dumbfounded. This kid was so mature earlier, so what was this sudden shift into a brat? Look at that petulant tone! Did he...did he just purse his lips?
Ron was indeed pursing his lips and grumbled. "My father’s death is not your fault, but I can’t forgive you for the ban."
...fuck.
"I won’t forgive you if you don’t let me stay--hmph!"
