Chapitre 681: An Awkward Walk

'Why did I choose to tease her?'

When I teleported, I saw Maria standing alone, so I decided to play a little joke on her. Of course, I used my [Unknowable] Magic, so she didn't notice me approaching her. I even overheard her saying she missed someone.

Thinking that was the perfect cue, I made my presence known.

'H-how could I have known that things would come to this?!'

Maria was dangerously close to me. Her blue eyes seemed to have a hypnotizing effect, and her glossy lips beckoned the moment they parted when she smiled. It was almost as though she was inviting me to make the first move.

'No way!' I thought to myself.

This girl confused the hell out of me. She always surprised me by how easily she switched personalities, from being gentle and mild to being so upfront and confident.

'What happened to that shy girl from Ainzlark? Has she always been like this?!' My heart raced even more as I continued to observe her.
