229. Outsider (2).

'When did I even reach Rank-SS?' I pondered, because I didn't know that I had already reached Rank-SS, while staring at seven different status windows in front of me.

"E-E-Eshwar! I can't believe you choose to be an elf." Katline's flustered voice sounded I glanced at her, and she instantly turned a brighter shade of red in embarrassment. I got confused by how flustered she was and glanced at Katharine, who had the same exact reaction.

"What's wrong and what race did you guys choose?" I asked.

"Y-yu-you t-turned more h-h-handsome, s-so much so that my h-heart is a-aching, a-and I ch-ch-chose to remain human." Katline could somewhat answer even while extremely flustered.

"Really?" I asked, and Katline nodded while gasping (?) for air. I frowned in confusion and glanced at Katharine, whose hand was crawling down towards her....

"Katharine!!" Katline followed my gaze and yelled before her friend embarrassed herself.
