She should be hiding a sigh of relief since she finally managed to say what she wanted to say, but her heartbeat increased until it was resounding throughout her soul sea.3

Since she started experiencing the secular world, she was realizing more and more just how attractive she was. It was why she had rejected countless people’s invitations and perceived even more starstruck looks.2

This would be the first time she invited a man of her own accord, to do anything, since she joined the Endless Sea… no, since she was born. The strange nervousness fluttering in her heart was unfamiliar and complicated to say the least.0
