I Kissed Lila to Declare Her as Mine!

Mel held her chin. The bold question from the Swordsman, Elowen, came as expected, yet the excitement in his voice was a little unusual.

Despite her doubt, she nodded with a broad, proud smile. "Take a guess. Maybe we're just really, really close friends, you know?"

Another student approached from the side, the first mage Mel had hypnotized. She had a long brown ponytail and trembling brown eyes.

"But..." The mage, Kaelen, fidgeted, as if afraid this topic would bring discomfort. "I... we heard from the leaked audio in the school. Uhm... have you not been here last night?"

Mel widened her eyes slightly. "What audio?"

She noticed the students around them gulping, some even glancing away in guilt.

Sitting beside her, Lila let out a high-pitched mewl, her ears reddening like sweet apples.

Mel tilted her head, a knowing smile tugging at her lips. From Elowen's question, Mel guessed it had to do with the intimate bond she shared with Lila.
