Amidst the rising tension, Akun intervened, his voice calm yet authoritative as he addressed the gathering. "Alright, ladies, let's take a step back and relax. We're here to enjoy the festival, not to quarrel." He offered a reassuring smile, his demeanor attempting to diffuse the charged atmosphere. Akun then added, "I believe this is the second time I'm saying this, I don't want to say it again."
Tatilia shot Chrono Nexus a pointed look before reluctantly releasing Akun's arm, her expression softening slightly at his words. "You're right, Master," she acquiesced, a hint of resignation in her tone. "Let's just enjoy the pancakes."
Chrono Nexus's gaze softened as well, her features relaxing into a more composed expression. "Of course," she agreed, her voice warmer now. "Let's not ruin the festivities with unnecessary drama."
