Chapter 228: Crossing Paths

"W-what do you mean by that?"

"Oh, nothing of importance. He is just so overprotective of Miss Fumika that I'm quite surprised he let you go to this dance with his beloved daughter."

The driver then winked at Akuma.

"So… you were just exaggerating, then?"

"Not quite. Oh, here comes Miss Fumika."

The driver then went to open the passenger door at the back of the car.

"Wait, don't brush off the issue—"

"Ak-chan! How do I look?"

Fumika wore a black tube dress with a frilled skirt that reached above the knee. She also wore long, white gloves. She then twirled in place and smiled at Akuma afterwards.

"You look the same… I mean it looks good, I guess."

Akuma nodded to himself as he scanned Fumika from head to toe.

"Hmph! You could have said I look cute or something!"

Fumika crossed her arms as she pouted and looked away.

"Fine, you look cute or something. Let's go."

Akuma pointed his thumb toward the car behind him.
