Chapter 291: A Big Problem?
"D-Did you talk with Akeno while I was asleep?" Although she now used it to change the subject. Rias wanted to ask this from the beginning but then got sidetracked because of Ophis upon entering the room.
"Something like that," Adam nodded. He couldn't tell her the details, as it wasn't the talk Rias expected.
"I see... Thank you for that." But, she didn't plan to ask for details. Just knowing that he talked with her brought her much-needed peace.
"Were you worried?" Rias nodded, she was more than worried about Akeno.
"It did happen because of me."
"Don't worry she doesn't hold it against you." Although he tried to console her, Adam knew it wouldn't work.
"That's how she is, always understanding. But, I couldn't be like that and ended up making her act that way. All so I could feel a little better." Rias sighed. These subconscious actions of hers made this situation worse, and in the end, she couldn't even solve it herself.
Adam didn't know what to say. He wasn't in a position to say anything right now. Rias' actions weren't unwarranted, she always had that type of personality and Akeno didn't mind going with it, but that wasn't good either. Rias understood how bad she would've felt if the situation flipped on her. More importantly, she did this to her best friend.
"Don't worry Adam. I'll improve. I won't make a mistake like this again." She said.
Adam sighed, it seemed that she had misjudged the situation.
"Rias, you know that Akeno isn't angry with you. Neither am I." She was about to speak but he stopped her, there was still more, "She knows that you tend to act like you want to be put first, but that is only on the surface. We both know that."
