Chapter 46 Thoughts (1/2)

Love?! Love was it?! No way! I mean, Ria is a girl! How can I have these feeling on a person with the same gender as me! I must have gotten sick somewhere. But deep inside she had this one thought that said; it couldn't be helped that Ria was too cool, right?

Sheila shook her head at such unbelievable thoughts before sealing it off inside of her. It was really ridiculous, no matter how she thought about it. There is no way that she has that kind of feeling toward the girl in front of her. No, maybe this is normal? She had never fallen in love before, so she didn't know if this feeling is what you called love for friendship or is it in that direction. Hopefully, No, it must be the friendship love!

”Are you okay, Sheila?”

”I-I'm fine, just a little dizzy.”

”Then why don't we leave this place and you could take a rest in your bedroom?”

”Yes, that's a good idea.”

Afterwards, Sheila turns off the restriction that was set onto the key before handing it over to Ria again. Now, Ria could enter and leave the Trial Tower as she pleased, so long as she didn't accept the quest that is. Like before, Ria has to use the key as if unlocking an invisible door and with a twist, her figure vanished from the Trial Tower. Sheila didn't wait much longer as the moment Ria disappeared, she immediately exits the Trial Tower with a simple thought.

...

Sheila's bedroom.

”I fthoufh fuo faid fuo forgafe fe aflreafy?”(I thought you said you forgave me already?)

”I did, yes. But did I said anything about you not getting punished, no?”

Ria smiled happily at Sheila as she pinches the girl's cheeks. She actually wanted to do this, but since they were in the Trial Tower, she didn't feel safe there and as comfortable as in right now. Anyway, Sheila deserves a punishment so that she won't make the same mistake ever again. The only way to give her a punishment that she would remember is something childish as pinching her cheeks. The girl herself is also childish, after all.

A few minutes later...

”If ftill furt.”(it still hurts.)

Sheila moaned in pain while rubbing her red cheeks softly as she glared at the girl who was smiling at her in happiness. Although her glare kind of contained a bit of tear which makes Shiela appears to be pretty cute in Ria's view. It was rare to see Sheila in making that kind expression since most of the time; she only seems stoic in appearance from the other perception of her. Although she doesn't have any friend in school, it doesn't mean that no one wants to talk to her and in fact, many wanted to do so but couldn't handle the gaze from the stoic Sheila.
