Chapter 70

Indra spread his arms wide, signalling Ariel to throw herself into his embrace. As the reaction he expected, Ariel did not immediately hug him but lightly hit his chest while snorting in disgust, pretending to put on an annoyed face.

"Who wants to hug you?! You moron!"

Indra chuckled, letting Ariel continue to beat his chest lightly. Ariel's face turned red, making her believe that Ariel was hiding the fact that Ariel was relieved by Indra's answer.

"Yes yes. I'm stupid," Indra was still laughing softly in response to Ariel's tantrum, before his hands gripped Ariel's wrists, forcing Ariel to meet his eyes. "If you say I'm stupid, I won't mind."

"Yo-you-you must be crazy!" Ariel tried to free her hands from Indra's grip but finally gave up. "Are you out of your mind or what? Y-you are so fucking irritating!"
