The girl shrunk under their questions and gazes, and she soon fell completely silent for a brief moment. Rain and Ara seemed to get along well, which was surprising to the girl who found socializing to be tremendously hard to master at the slightest extent. Rain did not seem to read books that much, and Ara was good with a gun. She remembered meeting a sharpshooter before she came to Athalia, though she did not know much about the man aside from that he liked money. Ara seemed to be quite the adventurous type.

And that alone presented itself as a daunting presence to the timid girl.

Before she was able to say that she did not feel confident about exploring places, Ara wrapped an arm around Aurelia's shoulders, freezing the girl's train of thoughts and actions. As her face slowly turned redder out of nervousness, the girl looked down as she trembled a bit, utterly failing at preventing herself from the smallest frown ever.

Rain joined in by wrapping an arm around Ara's shoulders and telling Aurelia that she should join them. Hoping that they were not luring her into a mean trap like several people had outside of the academy, the dark-haired girl silently nodded.

Sighing, the otaku opened his mouth to say something, but something stopped him from letting him speak. He felt something warm lay against his neck. The otaku gasped silently as he prevented himself from choking, his eyes slowly glancing at the direction of the warmth.

The smol girl... leaned against his neck.

And she was so warm.

So alive.

So...

SO...

Ryuu instantly returned to his strange expression as his aura returned, telling Oliver,
