Chapter 10: This Is Totally Not What I Had In Mind!!
"So it... was real?" he muttered faintly to himself, almost as if questioning his own sanity.
Reine watched him for a moment, her sleepy gaze lingering. "What do you mean?" she asked, though her voice carried little curiosity, as if she couldn't be bothered to dwell deeper.
Shido shook his head slightly.
"It's nothing." he replied quickly, turning his head to meet her eyes.
"You said I was brought here."
Shido grunted as he swung his legs off the bed, steadying himself for a moment before attempting to stand.
Just as he was about to stand, an idea struck him like lightning. His eyes lit up with a mischievous glint.
"Ah!" he exclaimed dramatically.
"Woah... careful!" Reine was startled, her voice carrying a bit of concern.
Shido pretended to stumble, hoping to catch himself by leaning against Reine for support.
A harmless yet clumsy act.
