Chương 153: Wings and Alliance (2)

I have slept with Valeria—though I can't remember it well—and also kissed her, so no suggestive things Valeria does to me can faze me anymore.

Chuu!

Despite that fact, I am still floored about what to do when she suddenly kisses me in front of everyone. I didn't see it coming—not at all.

I raise my hands in a surrender gesture due to my surprise, which in result, makes the whole situation look slightly awkward.

Luckily, Valeria handles it like a champ. She is brimming with confidence, uncaring to how it might look from the others' perspective.

I am quick to adapt too. Wrapping my hands around her waist, I make the situation look more natural.

"Welcome back," Valeria says after pulling back.

"I have a feeling that I am going to go again, so it is rather hard for me to say I am home." Sighing softly, I smile faintly afterwards. "Regardless, I am home."
