Chapter 313: Tiny Ripples

Chrono Nexus's cheeks flushed with a delicate pink hue as she spoke. "If you really want to thank me," she said, her voice soft and playful, "I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving me a kiss."

Akun's eyes widened slightly in surprise at her unexpected request. He could feel his own cheeks warming at her words, a mixture of embarrassment and amusement in his expression.

"Chrono Nexus..." he began, his voice trailing off as he searched for the right words. His mind raced, unsure of how to respond to her bold proposition.

But before he could formulate a reply, Chrono Nexus let out a playful giggle, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I'm just teasing you again, darling~," she said, her smile widening into a grin. "You should see the look on your face!"

Relief flooded through Akun's veins as he realized he had fallen for her playful banter once more. He couldn't help but laugh along with her, the tension of the moment dissipating into the air.
