Chapter 1617: My loss

Sumire and Umi raised more questions to me but each one of them wasn’t that intruding or at least, they were being very careful not to touch something they didn’t want to know yet. Our connection was very much enjoyed by them though.

Umi kept staring at it while also occasionally sneaking a glance at me, perhaps to see how I am reacting to it. I smiled at her each time I caught her doing that. As a result, the blush on her face never disappeared. She’s still a girl with few words but whenever she brought up her questions, they were always as straightforward as before.

She’s really the type to not go around in circles if she wants to know something.
