Chapter 114: Enlightened and Bold

Kairos looked at Nicole rather strangely, wondering if he could somehow salvage this situation. Though, he couldn't exactly come up with anything on the spot.

As for Nicole, she slowly started to replay the events that just happened in her own mind, before realizing that Kairos did not say what she thought he said.

For whatever reason, Nicole thought that the conversation was building up to become a confession. She thought that it made complete sense. They were separated for so long, and it was an apocalyptic scenario. Surely that would mean once they were reunited, the feelings were strong, right?

So... why was it like this?

Nicole coughed awkwardly.

"Um... what did you say?"

Kairos kept a straight face, pretending not to hear anything.

"I said we had to talk about an ability that doesn't show on your status panel."

Nicole continued to cough violently, and in a very unnatural way.

"O-Oh..."

Kairos took a deep breath.
