Match 4: The Battle Royal! [5]

Lia realized that her question had made both teams uncomfortable when she heard exclamations from them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude—" Lia apologized for her indiscretion, but Livia cut her off.

"Yes, you're right. I really, really like him very much," Livia confessed with a beaming smile, not hesitating to share her feelings for Ares.

Both teams were taken aback by Livia's straightforwardness, and there was a brief silence.

To everyone's surprise, Ares smiled at her and affectionately patted her head, "I like you too, Livia," he replied with a warm smile.

"Eh?" Livia was taken aback by the gesture, her eyes widening in surprise. She never expected Ares to reciprocate his feelings in public. Her face turned red as she became embarrassed, not knowing what to do next. She didn't expect such a reaction from Ares.
