Hiro tried to explain what happened that night in detail, the night where Liberty followed him and told him about the people secretly tailing him. He was sure that she wasn’t lying about what she was saying at that ti. The panicked expression on her scared face seed extrely real.
Even so, even after he gulped down two glasses of mineral water Callbonnie prepared, Liberty still didn’t know what he was talking about. She even seed to be on the verge of crying because Hiro forced her to rember a little.
“All right, I give up,” Hiro finally decided. He couldn’t bear to see Liberty’s reddened face holding back her tears.
“I’m sorry, Hiro. I really don’t rember,” Liberty explained with regret.
Hiro looked at the girl and held her soft hands. He didn’t want her to bla herself for sothing that wasn’t her fault.
“It’s all right,” he said, softened.
The two silently looked at each other for a few seconds. Hiro didn’t know what was in her head at the mont, but his head was currently filled with astonishnt seeing her beauty.
‘She’s really beautiful, and not just here. But she looks artificial in real life, too perfect.’
After mumbling in his heart, Hiro quickly rembered that he had forgotten about one important thing he should’ve talked to Liberty about since that night. If only she didn’t fall unconscious in the end.
“I visited you, Libe. I saw you asleep. You were really beautiful,” Hiro said, unable to find better words.
The girl’s eyes widened in surprise as she reflexively pulled her hands to cover her agape mouth.
“You did?”
From her tone, it was clear that she was in disbelief about what he just said. In disbelief that he had proven the first step, that even though the world where they t was virtual, he and his feelings for her were real.
Hiro confidently nodded. He still had more to say as proof.
“You must really love Monica. I have to et and thank her soon. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to see you sleeping like sleeping beauty,” he explained.
Liberty was speechless for a few seconds. She only looked at Hiro without saying a word, with a mixed expression on her face.
Hiro found it difficult to guess what she was feeling in her heart. She seed a little in disbelief, but also happy and touched on the other hand. He couldn’t tell which one dominated.
“I can’t believe you really went there, Hiro. Just how did you break their security system?”
Hiro tilted his head. There were so many reasons for her not to believe him, but she chose to talk about the security issue instead.
Hiro, who had Anonymous on his side, felt that everything went too smoothly. He just did what Anonymous told him to bypass the layers of security securing the floor. Even for Hiro, the security of that hospital floor was too easy to bypass.
“I can do anything, Libe,” Hiro lied. His voice sounded odd as he spoke the nonsense even he didn’t believe. He was only trying his luck to impress Liberty.
And the naive girl was truly impressed.
“So, do you believe now?”
Liberty nodded without thinking. She even seed to be blushing a little.
Hiro knew what to say next. He cleared his throat and stood in front of Liberty while gently holding her hands.
His face felt hot and his body felt like he had a fever, but Hiro didn’t want to waste the mont.
“Ahem… So… can we officially start our relationship?” Hiro said the exact sa line with the only romance movie he had ever seen when he was forced to in English class. The tips of his ears were a little red.
Liberty was surprised to hear it. Her face instantly turned bright red, and the two beast ears on her head tensed for a few monts.
“Um… I…” Liberty bit her lips. She seed to be feeling a little awkward as her eyes were fixed on her hands in Hiro’s. She couldn’t even look him in the eye.
In the anti, Hiro tried to take a deep breath to calm his erratic heart.
After a few monts, Liberty was finally able to slowly look up at him. With the two’s eyes eting, Hiro intended to slowly get closer and kiss her.
However, Spyro, who had been asleep in his cloak, suddenly struggled and forcefully got out. The baby dragon flew out from its resting place and flapped its wings so sharply that Hiro’s cheek was scratched until it bled.
Clap! Clap!
[HP -101]
“Eh?”
Spyro was behaving unusually. Even the way it was flying seed strange, like a baby bird whose mother was still training for the first ti.
“What happened to it?” Liberty was distracted easily. She looked at Spyro, who seed to be having a difficult ti, with a compassionate look.
anwhile, Hiro simply wiped the blood on his cheek and held himself back from throwing the dragon into a cage for stealing a precious mont in his life.
“Spyro, what the hell?” Hiro protested to the dragon unhappily.
However, it seed that he wasn’t the only one. Spyro was also looking at him with a mad expression.
Hiro looked at it with a little confusion. What happened to his dragon? Did it have a nightmare? Or was it mad because his erratic heartbeat bothered its sleep?
However, what happened next shocked Hiro so much that he staggered backward and crashed onto a wooden chair behind him, causing the chair to fall onto the wooden floor with a loud thud.
“Your heart is so noisy, Hiro!” Spyro cursed with the voice of a very young boy.
Hiro was dumbfounded by what he just heard. The dragon could talk?
This was the first ti he heard its voice since they were together several days ago. But…
When did Spyro learn to talk so fluently?
“Eh?” Liberty, who didn’t know that the baby dragon had never spoken before, reacted normally. She liked to talk to NPCs of various forms anyway. She even talked to a fairy and a fox last ti, so seeing a talking dragon was nothing new to her.
“Hi… what’s your na?” Liberty tried to touch Spyro with both of her hands. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at the adorable creature.
Spyro looked at Liberty with its head tilted, still flapping its wings sowhat unusually. Its eyes seed to have a serious glint as she looked at Liberty from top to bottom.
“Wow, you have great taste, Hiro.” The baby dragon turned to look at Hiro before looking back at Liberty. “My na is Ali—ahemm. I’m sorry, beautiful lady, I forgot my na.”
“Hiro, what’s my na again?”
