章 74: The next year will be a truly painful one...

Having landed on the ground once again, I quickly turned to Blanca and looked at her directly, watching as she cat walked her way to me with a smile that could not hide her tinge of worry.

'She's worried?' 

Ever since I had first met her, I had been certain that she did not care about me in the least and instead saw me as some kind of lab rat that she could learn from, however, her sudden display of affections made me a little warier of her.

Although I could see she was flirting with me, I never saw that as anything more than playing around and didn't take her seriously, but after seeing the genuine worry she tried to mask behind her smile, I could not help but reevaluate my opinion of her.

'Ugh... There's no way. She was probably just worried that her lab rat might have gotten injured.' I thought with a little annoyance before finally looking at her once again as she was only a few meters away from me now.
