After a few moments, the first ship landed. I accelerated immediately and stood in front of the landing field. As soon as the power generators were deactivated, I saw Lívia exit the ship, and without hesitation, I ran to her and hugged her.
"ARNO-?"
It was only when I heard her voice falter slightly that my thoughts returned. Looking at the person in my arms, her white hair, tinged with soft rainbow hues, brushed against me. Sweat droplets fell from her forehead, showing that she had also run. However, unlike usual, I noticed her ears, cheeks, and expression held a shy beauty I wasn't accustomed to seeing. Realizing my actions, I quickly pulled back, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
My face took on a similar expression to hers, and we found ourselves in a slightly awkward atmosphere. It seemed a bit embarrassing and strange to both of us, but to outsiders, it probably looked like a love-struck moment.
*Cough cough.*
