Chapter 277: Out of the blue confession (2/2)

Almina exclaimed stammeringly upon seeing who was in the middle of the crowd. Her face instantly turned red.

Yman sighed.

Then greeted her.

”Hello, Miss Almina,” He said and smiled.

Kiko showed a bitter expression. ”Almina, if I were you, I wouldn't talk to this guy!” He said as he pointed at Yman.

”Eh-uh… erm…”

While Kiko was telling something, Almina's mind was already blank. She failed to hear Kiko's words.

”Hey! What did you do?” Kesha was the one who asked and looked at him. But he disregarded it and acted like he didn't hear her. In truth, he had no time to waste for Kiko and his crew, and also for this bitter girl.

Yman turned around, but he stopped and glanced behind. ”Let's go, Bob!” He said then continued walking inside. ”Eh! Wait, bro!” Chloe and Bob followed after him.

”Wait! Yman!” Suddenly they heard Almina's call.

He stopped and looked behind him. ”Mhm?!”

Not only him, everyone had stopped and looked at her.

”C-can I come too…” she asked shyly.

”Mhm!” He nodded.

Almina smiled and ran towards him.

Seeing Almina running towards that person, Kiko felt a bothering pain. ”Wait, Almina!” He called out, out of reflex.

Almina stopped at the sudden call and glanced to where the voice came from.

”Uh? What's the problem Kiko Sun?”

She asked.

”That guy…” Kiko gritted his teeth.

Almina blinked his eyes while frowning.

”Don't go with him!” He shouted.

”???”

She wondered why Kiko said it.

”Uhm, is there a problem, Kiko Sun?”

”That, person, he is not suitable for someone like you!”

”?!!”

Almina could not follow up on what he wanted to say.

”What do you mean by it?” She asked with knitted brows but her face was as red as rose.

Kiko clenched his teeth. He knew that if he wouldn't do something, everything that he dreamed of would be gone for naught.

”I-I like you from the start, please be my girlfriend!”

And so, he said it. He said the word that could not be taken back. It wasn't on his plan. But he felt like he needed to say it.

Everyone fell silent. Almina and the others were included. Even Yman himself gawked. Suddenly, he remembered that there was gossip about Almina, being in love with Kiko. He forgot about it after going to the empire. Well, it wasn't like he was interested in it.

Ah, it must be the reason why Kiko came to face him.

Actually, he was still wondering why Almina did it that time. Wasn't she supposed to be in love with Kiko?!

It probably was the reason that Kiko came to him this time. He believed that it was the case.

Regardless, what was this out of the blue confessions? Yman asked himself.

The other trainees around them were blushing, especially the girls. Kiko's crew was grinning victoriously.

Kesha was conflicted, she wanted to cheer him, but she felt sad at the same time.

Maena was surprised as well. but she wondered why she wanted Amulet to accept the guy's love towards her.

Wait! Isn't it too embarrassing to say your feelings in front of everyone? Looks like this Kiko was a commendable person.

On the other hand,

Maena thought and glanced at Yman. She wondered what his expression was like. Wait, why would she want to know his expression by the way?

The other girls giggled and thought that Almina and Kiko Sun were more suited than that other person. Some of Almina's party members wanted her to accept Kiko's love. And some were just meh.

Everyone was waiting for her reply.
