Did she just call me dumb?

I suppose it is okay since it shows that she isn’t upset with me anymore.

Phew~

I am glad that I was able to talk things out with her. But there is one thing that is still not solved.

Which is that we don’t know anything about each other. Other than names, everything is a mystery, especially for her since she doesn’t even know how I look or how old I am.

"Ammm... Viora, I am twenty four by the way," out of blue I told her about my this life’s age and to my surprise she also told me about hers.

"To... Tree..."

23.

Okay now come my height. I stood up and examined myself from toe to head. ’I seems to be a little taller than my last life... so it will be...’

"5’11 or maybe 6’. That how much tall I am."

Well, I don’t know why I was doing all this but one part of me wanted to share everything about myself with her, even if it was small.

This time I had expected her to not respond to my height since many girls don’t want to talk about their weight or height, but that is okay since I have a vague idea of how tall she is.

"Five... Sven..."

Huh? She told me about her height that easily? And I thought she was 5’6. Well, it is just a little higher than I expected her to be.

After that I went silent and didn’t speak further, but she seemed to enjoy the conversation too much she asked it herself.

"Wyt... Bot... Fyc..."

My face? I have seen my reflection in the glass of the window but I couldn’t see anything clearly. It was blurry but I was able to see that my hair was black and eyes were blue.

"Well, I have dark hair and blue eyes. But I don’t know how to explain my facial features to you."

I said that and Viora moved her hand and gesture with her finger weakly as she flicked it. She wanted me to go to her. So I did.

I stood in front of her and she said me to sit down.

"Syt..."

I didn’t know what she wanted to do but I did as she said and sat down, not on the bed but in front of her face on the ground.

The next movement she made, told me what she was gonna do. And truly, it was nothing less than an emotional rush in my heart.

With her hand she touched my forehead first, then she moved it lower to my eyes and after a few seconds she reached my chin. She had thoroughly examined my face.

"Han...sam..."

Her words may be a little unexpected but what she did next was even more surprising. With the same hand she had checked me, she grabbed my cheek and pulled it.

After that she pulled her hand and let out a soft giggle. Meanwhile, I was astonished by her pinching my cheek.

’Isn’t it a male thing to pinch a girl’s cheek. Instead she is the one doing it to me.’

I felt like our roles have reversed and to some point it was also true. She always acted more like a man. Composed, not overreacting, and not overthinking.

While I always do all that whenever it comes to feelings. So her pinching doesn’t feel wrong.

I think it is time to change myself. Otherwise she will always take the lead in everything. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I want to have some dignity as a man.

I also want to initiate romantic moments with her instead of only her pulling my cheek or calling me dumb.

This is a new world so I should also have a personality fitting that of a transmigrated protagonist.

"Viora, why did you do that?"

I asked whatever came to my mind to continue the chat. "I can understand you touching my face but pinching my cheek? I don’t really get it."

Again, Viora giggled for a bit and then answered, "Fat... Chak..."

Hearing her, I didn’t feel offended or anything. Having cheek fat isn’t a big deal. On the contrary, I also smiled after seeing her being all happy.

But I wasn’t gonna let it slide. I also pinched her cheek and said, "Here is my revenge."

As I let go of her cheek, her eyes widened a little bit and her mouth stayed slightly open.

"Oops..."

’Shit, I think it’s time to run.’

I thought and before she could say anything else I ran out of the room, leaving her bewilder. I might have astounded her but I just went with the flow and I don’t think I regret it.

It is also a good opportunity. I was feeling a little tired of just laying and sitting in the same room. So I should walk and see what difference this hospital has compared to reality.

As I strolled through different corridors of the hospital I noticed there wasn’t much difference and that this hospital looked kind of same to the one from my world.

Don’t tell me that everything is based on real world. People? Names? Areas? And the layout too?

The story did say something about real countries and cities but I didn’t think everything would be the same.

However, I shouldn’t be so sure yet. It is just the hospital. I have to see the outer world yet.

As I was thinking about the possibility of this world being the same as the real one, I heard the tv’s sound ring in my ears.

—"Ms. Jane, is it true that you were involved in what happened to the former A-Rank Hunter Viora?"—

My steps stopped instantly and my chest tightened. Slowly, I turned toward the source of the sound. The image that was shown on the screen made my blood go cold.

Jane?

That name hit me harder than every emotional conflict I had been through. But the headline that was displayed below it was even worse.

—Was S-Class Hunter Jane really responsible for the former A-Rank Hunter Viora’s disability?—

Subconsciously, my breathing slowed down, and my fingers twitched.

’No... That can’t be true.’

My mind refused to accept it.

Jane...? Viora...?

"...It... Can’t... Be..."
