Frank stayed a good minute there, glancing as Harumi left with Erika, Matsuo, and everyone else. It seemed Erika started teasing her all the way there, and Harumi looked even more embarrassed as she walked away.
"She kissed me… Ah, I shouldn't really think too much about it."
He felt slightly happy and embarrassed, but at the end of the day, people kissed each other's cheeks to say goodbye back in America quite a lot, perhaps in Japan it was rarer, but not something that didn't happen.
"Or does she…?"
For a moment he considered something else as well, feeling rather embarrassed. Although he felt happy, he didn't quite know what to do or say about the situation.
"Ah right, my family…"
Frank walked towards his house, sensing that the barrier he had placed was… still in place, and it hasn't been tampered either.
In fact, it seemed stronger, the mana core he had left behind was directly connected to him through a powerful pact.
