"Kazuto, listen to me carefully. I'm not afraid of you. Ever since I meet you, not once, I feel frightened towards you. Instead, I like you."
Now Niken's face was glistening to red as she never thought she would speak her heart out loud in front of the man.
How embarrassing!
She never knew all this time Kazuto thought she was afraid of him since the beginning of their meeting. She did not want this misunderstanding to continue and create a gap between them.
That's why she held back her shame and was blunt about her true feelings towards the man.
However, the man didn't give any response to her confession, so she decided to keep talking.
