章 207: Chapter 207: Indirect Reply

"U-um, w-well… H-how was our performance?! I really hope you watched and liked it…"

Kirei directly stared at Akuma with a fully flushed face.

"Hmm… It was the best one out there, I guess? I mean, you won, right?"

Akuma looked up at the night sky with his hands inside his side pockets.

"T-thank you for saying that… I really wanted to show you the results of all our hard work… As a sign of my gratitude to you…"

Kirei then looked away, as she clutched the part of her dress on top of her chest.

"You don't have to thank me for anything. You're the one who did all the work. Well, if all you wanted was a review of your performance, I'll go on ahead now—"

"W-wait, Akuma-kun…! I have… something else… to tell you…"

Kirei now shut her eyes tightly.

"…"

Akuma just silently looked back at Kirei as he waited for her to speak.
