Chapter 598: Chapter 598 - Taming the Swarm - 13

The silence continued until...

"When?" Luna asked, her voice now tense with concern that all might have something to do with what she had done in their last encounter.

"A little before we escaped too," Kira responded deflatingly, like she had been holding onto uncomfortable information for too long.

"Of course he did," Mayo murmured, but her tone held more exasperated affection than real criticism. "He’s so predictable when it comes to getting involved in problems that aren’t his."

"Maybe puberty problems too?" Liora asked after a moment, remembering something with a smile and clearly trying to lighten the mood with humor. "You know how boys are at this age. Impulsive, emotional, doing stupid things to impress us girls..."

"Puberty?" Larissa asked, genuinely confused. "What do you know about puberty when you’re barely going through it yourself? You talk about it like you know so much and... what does that have to do with any of this?"

Mayo laughed, a laugh that contained too much malicious amusement to be coming from a girl.

"Oh, Liora thinks she’s very grown up because she was ’very daring’ during her ’date’ with Ren," Mayo said, clearly enjoying the opportunity to share privileged information.

"Mayo!" Liora exclaimed, her cheeks instantly flushing red. "We said you weren’t going to talk about that!"

Mayo shrugged with an impish smile. "If you already knew me, you shouldn’t have told that secret to me specifically. I’m terrible at keeping juicy secrets like that one!"

"What secret?" Larissa pressed, feeling tons of curiosity and something deeper she didn’t want to identify.

Mayo approached Larissa and whispered something in her ear. Larissa listened, her eyes progressively widening, and then...

"A KISS ON THE CHEEK?" she shouted the question with enough volume that several nearby soldiers turned their heads toward them, then contained their laughter.

’The terrifyingly powerful leaders are still just girls’, their shrugged shoulders seemed to say.

Luna startled slightly, her eyes moving quickly between Liora and Larissa with an expression that was difficult to read.

Liora and Larissa watched her attentively, expecting a more dramatic reaction. Jealousy, perhaps. Anger. Surprise.

But Luna simply blushed slightly and looked away.

"I expected more impact from you especially," Liora murmured, studying Luna’s mana pattern with all the power of her advanced mana sight. "Or maybe jealousy. But I almost can’t sense any jealousy in your mana..."

She paused, frowning as she analyzed more deeply, her enhanced perception reading the subtle fluctuations in Luna’s energy field.

"It feels more like... shame?"

She focused more intently on Luna with eyes bright with piqued curiosity.

"Luna Starweaver, what exactly did you do on your date after mine?"

"You both already had dates!?" Larissa asked, now completely lost. "What dates!?"

"Oh, they both had something like dates with Ren," Mayo explained cheerfully, clearly enjoying being the center of dramatic attention. "Very romantic... Very secret... Very teenage!"

Larissa felt as if the ground had shifted even more strongly beneath her feet. Dates? Ren had been going on dates?

But Liora had already returned her attention to Luna like a bloodhound following a scent.

"Don’t change the subject, Luna. Answer. Did you do something that surpassed my kiss on the cheek?"

"No!" Luna responded too quickly, too loudly. "I didn’t do anything... We just talked."

Luna’s mana pattern clearly contradicted her words...

"Lie," Liora said, surprised and almost unable to believe it. "Your mana says that’s a full lie!"
