Chapter 178 A Teacher's Day Gift

These words were completely unexpected and caught Kiana off guard.

In addition, those words felt as if they were spoken to her face to face, which made her feel depressed all of a sudden, and sadness filled her heart.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward. Bronya stared at him expressionlessly, while Mei gave him a reproachful glare.

Kiana was still crying, her eyes brimming with tears, like a kitten that had been tricked and deceived.

Seele and Fu Hua were engrossed in their voice acting and didn't pay attention to what was happening here.

Is this one of the few pieces of good news?

Stare~

"Boss? Aren't you going to explain?"

Bronya asked quietly from the side, her fingers tapping Luo Mo's fingers.

Although she was also very moved, it seemed that her sadness was also released after the first person cried.

Anyway, she wouldn't cry in front of so many people... especially in front of the instigator. The main storyline just ended yesterday, and her boss is causing trouble again.

Luo Mo rubbed the back of his head shyly, but his eyes were fixed on the company's ceiling. The white wall seemed to hold some unknown secret, attracting his full attention.

It seems he/she has a sense of repentance.

In reality, he was thinking that if Kiana cried... no, if others were also moved by this scene and couldn't help but cry,

How much more emotional value will he gain? That will make his efforts to attract traffic with his alternate account worthwhile.

"...Alright, Kiana, don't cry. We still need to prepare a gift for Himeko-sensei today."

Mei gently rubbed Kiana's head, and couldn't help but whisper words of comfort.

I thought that today, Teacher Himeko would have a wonderful Teacher's Day, but instead, she was greeted by Luo Mo's 'gift'...

It's not that the gift is wrong; on the contrary, it has a high educational value. However, it can easily cause embarrassment to the person involved and plunge them into sadness.

That's hard to say.

"...Himeko...Teacher, yes, we also need to prepare gifts."

Kiana wiped away her tears, composed herself, and then glared at Luo Mo with red eyes, expressing her indignation.

But then she sighed helplessly. She had to admit that this part of the story did move her deeply; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so emotionally overwhelmed.

Even with the support of the preceding storyline, Himeko's voice acting in this scene is... perfect enough.

And then, in the darkness, that line reappeared...

"Kiana, you are my pride."

This overwhelmed her with emotion, and her eyes stung, causing hot tears to flow uncontrollably.

"boss?"

"Hmm? Kiana."

Luo Mo took a step back, not out of fear, but because he thought Kiana needed enough space to calm down.

"...Thank you, thank you for letting me see such a wonderful story, for allowing me to participate in it, and for making me cherish it even more...Himeko-sensei."

Kiana's voice was low, accompanied by a low sob.

This was a heartfelt sentiment from her; she didn't want to start growing up only after everything had happened.

What's missed is missed, and there's no going back.

Seele and Fu Hua, who were in the distance, also took off their headphones. They seemed to sense what was happening here and looked over at the same time.

"...Uh, Kiana?"

Luo Mo scratched his cheek sheepishly, feeling a pang of heartache as he looked at the tearful girl before him.

He tentatively repeated her name again, wanting to see what she really thought.

Honestly, he actually felt his conscience return just now. No wonder he's the protagonist!

"But boss, I still want to beat you up, what should I do?"

Kiana sniffled again, and her face, which had been covered in tears, broke into a smile as if the sun had come out after the rain.

The gentle tone uttered such terrifying words, instantly shattering Luo Mo's self-reproach and leaving him with a chilling feeling.

"Kiana, I think you need to calm down right now~"

Luo Mo subtly took another step back, mentally estimating how many steps he was still from the door.

Fortunately, Kiana hasn't equipped any Stigmata yet, so he should be able to escape if he can't beat her... unless she really uses the power of the Plague Gem to blast him to death.

She wouldn't be that ruthless, would she?
