Being complimented.
He grinned, his gaze went straight past the crowd and landed on the girl with long hair tied behind her head, dancing in the wind. With a cheeky smile, he said, "Goddess Cherline, long time no see."
"..." But Cherline did not move an inch.
There wasn't even an exchange of glances.
The crowd was surprised, whispering:
"Huh? Does he know Cherline?"
"Seems like it."
"Judging by what he called her, he might be from A City."
"It's possible. The title of Goddess Cherline spread from the academy in A City..."
"But why doesn't Cherline pay any attention to him?"
"That I don't know..."
...
In an instant.
Everyone focused their eyes on him and Cherline.
But.
Strangely enough, his actions didn't receive even the slightest response from Cherline.
It was as if Cherline didn't even know him.
And he was just ridiculously persistent.
At the right moment.
