Like butterfly wings, her eyelids fluttered and slowly opened, revealing her hazy yet beautiful green eyes.
Still in a state of shock after her near-death experience, she gazed at Adam's delighted face in confusion.

Then, her right hand moved to cover her chest despite the armor hiding it behind a layer of chitin. Simultaneously, her left palm whistled to crash on Adam's shoulder.
"What are you doing?! Step back, boor!"
However, her pupils constricted as Adam didn't budge. Instead, he brought her closer and hugged her tightly.
"W-What?! L-Let me go!"
