"Zeri, how about you hop on my back? I'll carry you," Kira's voice became gentler this time as he coaxed her.
The girl quietly stared at him for a moment. "But I can walk… oh, can you bring me there?" she pointed her finger towards the floor to ceiling window overlooking the breathtaking blue harbor. "I want to swim."
". . ."
Kira closed his eyes. Seriously… you want to swim? And in that harbor at night? Sigh…
"Okay, I'll bring you there. But on one condition, hop on my back and behave." He sternly negotiated, and the girl didn't hesitate to nod.
Kira was surprised that she agreed on this quickly, so he immediately bent forward in front of her.
Zeri didn't waste a moment and climbed up onto the young man's back and hugged his neck with both hands.
