Chapter 156: Mediocre (2)

'What are you even thinking about, Ava? How can you just assume he feels something for you just because he patted you once and said some nice words?'The sadness on her face was not any less than before, even as she consoled herself with pure logic that she shouldn't feel much about this.

'How can I even think someone as talentless as me in this new world would have a chance with him, more importantly, he also has his sister.'

Every single one of them had realized how their relationship was, as no one was clueless about such obvious things.

She had already realized that something was wrong from the moment Aiden had patted her because she could clearly imagine her possessive sister trying to attack her if something like this happened.

She hadn't focused much on this a few hours earlier, but thinking about it now wouldn't do her any good, so she looked at the zombies who were trying to kill them and were being shot by bullets.

'I shouldn't be delusional and should focus on my own job,' but she still couldn't forget the figure of the unknown girl Aiden was patting earlier. Then she suddenly heard a voice that pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Vice Leader, why are you crying?"

Hearing the words of her team member resting a little away from her, she quickly touched her face only to feel the wetness on her cheeks.

'Hahaha, how pathetic, Ava. You got this attached just because of a single pat he gave you earlier. Hahaha! He probably didn't even think much of it.'

'This is not a fairy tale, Ava. You should not live in fantasies.' She wiped the tear off her face with a resolute expression, but there was still some lingering sadness present in her eyes.

She clutched the rifle attached to her shoulder and began to move toward where the fighting was going on a few meters away. She joined their line and started shooting the zombies.

The other two women currently doing the task of killing noticed their vice leader's early arrival but didn't say anything, as she was the one in charge here, and they weren't going to question her decision.

Still, they felt a little weird, as she had only rested for five minutes out of the 20-minute rest they should have taken, and for some reason, the vice leader also seemed a little stricter than before, so they continued what they were doing without any questions.

Ava fired a barrage of bullets at the zombies and sometimes missed her target, which she usually didn't, but it still didn't stop her. There were many bullets for her to fire, and she didn't mind if some missed as she only wanted to kill some zombies and distract herself from thinking about the scene from earlier.

Meanwhile, Aiden wanted to continue more and give her more pats, as it felt addicting to him when he saw her small body tremble from time to time.

'So cute.'

'But I have to stop, and I have to ask her what I really wanted to ask.'

So he removed his hand from her head and stopped patting her, knowing it would be hard for her to focus while he did this, as she couldn't even look at him while receiving his pat.

Isla felt the gentle pats on her head stop, and now she couldn't even feel his hand on her head. She looked at his handsome face directly, with intense swirling in her eyes, while the blush from earlier still hadn't left her face, and said in a pleading voice.

"M-More!" S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Aiden saw the obsessive look in her eyes, and seeing the blush on her cute face while hearing her pleading voice, he couldn't control himself. Listening to her words, he once again brought his hand to her head and began gently stroking it.

This time Isla didn't look away, as she felt the happiness of once again receiving his gentle pats. A bright smile appeared on her beautiful face, and a little giggle escaped her mouth.

"Hehehehe!" The trembling in her body from time to time started once again.

Aiden couldn't help himself, seeing her even cuter reaction now, so he continued like this and decided to ask her about the skills.

Alicia was gritting her teeth, seeing how lovely the atmosphere between these two was, but she was not going to stop them. She also cared about her brother's happiness, and she could tell by the look in his eyes that he liked Isla.

'More importantly, I have seen those weird eyes on her face. I think I can trust this shameless woman a little.'

She realized after seeing Isla's obsessive eyes that Isla was the perfect match for his harem and the type of woman she wanted for her brother.

'I don't want some disrespectful little girl. I want someone just like me who can't live without him.' So she was pleased with Isla, and as of now, she is not interfering in the development of their relationship, even when she feels angry looking at them.

'Everything is for my brother's happiness.'

Aiden said while continuing the caress in a gentle tone, as seeing her like this, he didn't want to use a strict or commanding voice.

"Isla, I will ask you something. You have to answer me about what you know, okay?"

Noticing the softness in his voice, her body started trembling more with each gentle pat, as she replied to him with a bright smile still on her face while cutely tilting her head slightly.

"Oki!"

Aiden just wanted to hug the little thing, seeing how cute she was acting right now, and he could tell she wasn't faking it like some girls he had interacted with before at school. So her innocent behavior only made him want her more and more.

'Ah! I really want to hug her trembling little body.'

But he controlled himself, knowing he couldn't do this as this was only his first real conversation with her. However, If she acted like this for longer, it would be hard for him to control himself.

The gentleness in his voice increased to its maximum after everything he witnessed earlier, as he asked her what he wanted to know.

"Isla, do you know how to create a skill?"

Isla heard his voice and began to think hard, as it was difficult for her to focus when intense happiness was overwhelming her mind. But even then, she couldn't ignore the words spoken by the person she now loved the most in the world.

She curiously began to fidget with her fingers a little while thinking.

Aiden, seeing her really thinking hard, didn't rush her, and said it in a gentle voice.

"Isla, don't worry, take your time. I'm waiting for your answer."

Another giggle escaped her mouth hearing his words, but after a few more seconds, she finally remembered what his sister had told her to do to make magic easier, which made a skill appear on her status.

She was about to tell him how to do it, but she used her little brain and thought of getting something in return, as even she knew that their relationship was much stronger now. The chances were much higher than before, but she was still embarrassed about it, as even if he rejected her, she wouldn't be able to do anything, as he was still her leader.

'Isla you have to try at least'
