Chapter 217: Chapter 211. First Time

"Well...there's this one thing..."

Bassena asked in a quiet voice, which got Zein to raise his brow. He knew what Bassena would say though, but he pulled away so he could see the esper's face clearly. 

"What?"

"Umm..." Bassena frowned slightly, eyes darted to the side like every time he was nervous and rather uncomfortable with the topic. "About that man...the leader of the Scarlet Moon,"

"What about him?" Zein asked dryly, stepping away to shed his uniform jacket and taking off his mask. As he turned his back on Bassena to drape the uniform on an armchair, he smiled subtly. 

Bassena must have been holding it back so much since the morning. Zein said they should talk later--but later came so late since they kept doing something else.
