"Uh?"

The mention of "a great emotion" hit Viretta hard.

To speak of emotions while keeping a nonchalant face... The very thought of it made her face flush with heat.@@novelbin@@

"A... great emotion, you say? You’ll probably say it’s a feeling of gratitude, right? But I’m not fooled anymore."

"It could be gratitude, but I’d say I’m more inclined to describe it as being attracted to you or finding you beautiful."

"Ugh!"

Caught off guard by the unexpected attack, Viretta bit her tongue. Iola looked at her, who was now rolling on the ground after biting her tongue, with a slightly melancholic expression.

"You seem to be in pain. I apologize, but there’s also a subtle excitement in the air."

"Ugh!"

Viretta, curled up like a bug, coughed from the continued barrage. She was writhing on the ground as if she had been wounded, biting her tongue. She slammed her fist against the ground and slowly rose to her feet.

"Can you please control your expression, Iola?"

"I’m sorry. I tried to remain composed, but I suppose it showed that I had ulterior motives?"

"No, it didn’t! Please, just show a real expression if you're not trying to assassinate me!"

The problem wasn’t that it didn’t show. Judging by her face, there was no way to guess what was on her mind.

1. Prepare for the hunt again.

2. Acknowledge reality and give up.
