章 104: Activation

Haruka looked around with fear evident in her eyes. She still seemed reluctant to take off her outer garment.

They were not in the bedchamber and it looked weird doing that there.

Watching her as she looked around plus the thought going on in her mind, Naoki understood her troubles and deemed it a worthy cause needing his explanation.

"No one is here."

Immediately, Haruka turned her surprised gaze to him.

"We are the only ones here?" She blurted out as her eyes sought for confirmation.

"Mmmm." He nodded as he spread his arms, balancing his elbows on the floor behind him.

Getting the confirmation from him, Haruka strained her ears to see if she would hear any sound from outside the room, but she failed to. Hesitating for a few seconds, she took off her outer robe.

Leaving it to fall behind her, she walked to the edge of the pool while trying to cover her exposed skin with her arms.
