"Did you know how strong both of them were?"
Alex's question caused the frown on Luna's head to deepen.
She got confused by his question.
'What's he talking about?'
They were talking about the incident, so who was he referring to?
'Ah, I see...'
Just then, as if realizing something Luna's eyes brightened.
'He's talking about Alice and Ann.'
Luna's brows which were knighted into a frown also loosened as the realization hit her.
They were talking about the incident, and Luna was saying that she didn't do anything, on the other, hand she was saved.
So, Alex asked her again.
"Did you know that both Alice and Ann were that strong?"
"No."
Luna replied with a shake of her head.
"But you did know that if that attack landed, then their lives would've been in danger, right?"
Alex questioned again as he sat back on the weight bench, and started wiping his face with a towel.
He could've just dried it off with magic, but that wouldn't give the gym-like feeling, so he was using the towel.
"Yes."
Lua nodded her head in confirmation.
"You didn't know that Alice and Ann were strong enough to take care of the attack, and you also knew that it could kill or gravely injure everyone there, yet you still jumped in front of it, why?"
Alex asked as he looked into Luna's eyes, throwing the towel on the handle of the weight bench.
Luna stared back at Alex and for a while, she didn't know what to say.
"Just tell me what you felt."
Alex spoke as if he could see through her dilemma.
Luna put up a thoughtful expression before she spoke.

"I didn't feel anything, my body moved on its own, I just wanted to save them."
Luna spoke her thoughts out loud.
'Luna is stammering, that's new....'
He knew that Alice would be happy looking at the speechless face of Luna, but he decided to let it be.
'I don't want to get in between them.'
Luna, who heard Alex's words, finally nodded and smiled lightly.
She was feeling happier than ever.
"So, again, thank you for saving them."
Alex made the same gesture as before and thanked Luna, and unlike before, this time Luna nodded her head with a smile.
"No problem, it is what I should do."
"Good, now to the important part...."
Alex nodded and then he looked at Luna with a mix of serious and poker face.
Luna, however, didn't get why the air around Alex changed all of a sudden.
"Since you saved them, someone whom I consider my closest, you deserve a reward as well."
'Ah...'
Alex's next words made her realize why he got so serious, but she just waved her hand with a smile.
"I don't want any reward for that, as I said before, I did what I wanted to, I didn't do it for a reward."
Alex nodded his head and continued.
"I know, but it doesn't change the fact that you did save them, the only people that matter to me from potential harm."
Alex was serious, and Luna could tell, so she just stared at him.
She knew that once Alex made up his mind, he was not going to change it, no matter what anyone did.
So, she kept quiet for a while before she spoke.
"I don't really want this reward that you want to give me, but I know you won't back down, so I might as well see what this reward is...."
Luna sat on a weight bench in front of Alex as she held her chin and looked at Alex thoughtfully.
"Good," Alex smiled at her before he added.
"You have one wish. You can ask me whatever you want, and I will try my best to fulfill it."
Alex spoke with a wide smile, but Luna almost fell off her seat when she heard his words.
