Chương 163: Dumb

"So, how are you feeling?"

Suzuki Aki asked his younger sister as soon as they reached a gazebo in the garden. It was at a different part of the estate nearer to the private residential area than the dojo where Ara and Kou went earlier to have their talk after her stunt with the arrow.

"Are you nervous?"

At her brother's questions, a soft smile curved Suzuki Ara's lips, and she shrugged. "I honestly don't know."

"You don't know?" Aki laughed. "What kind of answer is that?"

"The kind you'd get from me," Ara replied with a mischievous grin, making his brother laugh again. "Obnoxious brat," he told her as he playfully hand-chopped her head.

 "What? I'm just telling you the truth," Ara protested as she patted her head where Aki bopped her earlier. "I really have no idea what I'm feeling right now – maybe because it still hasn't completely sunk into me."

His mouth formed an O as if he finally understood what she meant.
