On the girl's face, there remains a hint of the subtle shyness she had when alone with Rein.
But at this moment, upon hearing Rein's comforting words, she responded with a soft 'hmm', lifted her head, and looked at his face with serious eyes, saying:
"Rein, thank you."
Rein smiled gently, about to say something when suddenly, he felt a fresh, fragrant breeze approaching.
And Anna, like a butterfly, approached swiftly, tiptoeing to give Rein a swift peck on the cheek with her soft and warm lips.
Next, like a startled fawn, she quickly pulled away, bowed her head, and said:
"Well... Then I'll head back now."
Anna said, not waiting for Rein's reply, shyly intending to leave immediately.
Yet just as she turned around, she was taken aback by a strong hand wrapping around her slender waist.
With an irresistible huge force, Anna's delicate body was pulled back and pressed against a strong and warm chest.
