Chapter 92: Dinner
After spending over an hour in the private hot spring, Shido and Reine decided it was time to leave. Kotori and the others could return at any moment, and if they caught the two of them bathing together, Shido wasn't sure whether they would believe the words that came out of his mouth.
Stepping out of the water, they dried off and changed into fresh yukatas. As they prepared to leave, Shido found himself glancing at Reine more often than he intended.
Her usual drowsy look, combined with the elegant yukata draped over her figure, created a mesmerizing sight. The gentle glow of the lanterns illuminated her pale blue hair, and the way the fabric loosely hugged her figure made her look even more alluring than before.
Before he realized it, Shido had been staring for far too long.
"Shin." Reine suddenly called out, a small chuckle escaping her lips. "You're gawking."
Shido blinked, realizing his mistake. He quickly turned his head away, laughing awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"A-Ahaha... Sorry, I just thought the yukata looks really good on you."
Reine tilted her head slightly, the corner of her lips curling into a faint smile. "Is that so?"
Seeing her reaction, Shido felt his face heat up. 'Damn it... this woman is really too dangerous.'
He quickly turned towards the door. "AAnyway, we should return first before the others came back."
Reine simply nodded and followed behind, a knowing smile never leaving her face.
