Chapter 227 - Are you jealous? (2/2)
”She's alright, just a light fever.”
Rhys nodded and walked over. Kazuya watched as his friend gently brushed his hand across the girl's forehead.
”...Sorry.”
”Huh? Why are you…”
”Just now, I shouldn't touch her so easily.”
Kazuya blinked in confusion. He wasn't expecting this reaction.
”Rhys?”
Rhys was about to head out of the window, but Lyn reached over. ”Rhys, did you come because you were worried about me?”
”I'm not…”
”Un, you're worried, right?”
Rhys turned around and sighed. ”I'm very worried about you. I'll do a quick checkup, can you stay put?”
”Ah-huh.”
Kazuya silently watched them the entire time. 'They do seem closer,' Kazuya thought. Now he understood why Rhys was acting cautiously about it. However, all is fair in love. Though he isn't the competitive type and the only kind of fighting, he knows is on the battlefield.
Rhys pulled out his scrolls and rolled them around Lyn.
”Wah, I'm glowing.”
Rhys smiled, ”Yeah. Try to relax.”
Still, no matter how close Lyn gets with anybody. Kazuya understands her feelings by now. Lyn really likes him, enough to abandon her fiance. However, sometimes Kazuya wondered. To what extent will her feelings go?
”Kazuya, are you jealous?”
”Huh? Not really.”
Lyn pouted and then reached over and lightly touched Rhys arm. ”Are you jealous now?”
Kazuya looked at her dumbfounded. Why does she want him to be jealous?
”You know, since you took the initiative I will not refuse,” Rhys let go of the brush and cupped the girls' cheeks.
”Wahhh! L-let go.”
Kazuya frowned and pulled Lyn away from Rhys, ”What are you doing?”
”I was about to kiss her.”
'This guy!!' Kazuya was fuming inside. Would he actually do that right in front of him? His anger vanished when he hears soft laughter and looked over at the source. Lyn was holding him tightly and laughing. His gaze softened, ”You're sick a lot these days; you should get some sleep while you can.”
”I'll be fine Kazuya; it's just fatigue. You're the one I'm worried about.”
”Both of you are idiots,” Rhys interjected, ”What good does it do you two if you're both sick? Don't you realize how important the upcoming banquet is.”
”Important?”
”Ah,” Lyn nodded. ”Right, loads of people will be attending.”
”Do you think they'll announce your identity?”
Lyn shrugged, ”I'm not sure. I still have to wear a veil.”
