Chapter 261: Sense of Crisis
The happy couple didn't get to bask in their moment for long, Mira was quickly ambushed by a swarm of curious girls, buzzing with gossip.
Rhodes, bouquet still in hand, was left behind, frozen like a statue while Mira was dragged off.
Laki led the charge. "Okay, okay! That was super sweet and all, but haven't you two basically been dating for ages?"
Mira giggled softly, her hand brushing her still-warm cheek. "Well... we're officially dating starting today. Or maybe since yesterday."
"Wait, wait, wait, yesterday?! What happened yesterday? How far did it go? Just a hug? A forehead kiss? A real kiss?"
Mira smiled mysteriously. "That's a secret."
"Come on, Miraaaaaaa!" the girls chorused, clinging to her like magnets.
"And hey, who made the first move, huh?" another girl chimed in.
As Mira was swarmed with questions, she eventually gave in and shared the story of how she'd come to fall in love with Rhodes, blushing through all the juiciest parts.
Meanwhile, across the guild hall, the boys were just as curious about Rhodes' technique.
Everyone had their own theories. Alzack believed it came down to Rhodes being cool and attentive. Jet and Droy figured it was the "slow burn" strategy: spending enough time with someone until feelings naturally grew.
