"Wait a minute, Celine, you live alone?" asked Riki.
At that moment, they had just entered Celine's apartment. It turned out that Celine's apartment was in the same building as Riki's. However, Celine's apartment was on the 11th floor, while Riki's apartment was on the top floor. You could say that Riki's apartment was a penthouse.
Riki was very confused to see that there was no one else in the apartment but the two of them.
"Yeah, of course. My family lives in the village, while my younger siblings go to boarding school. You know, my parents really like a quiet life, they both garden and raise livestock. Then—"
"No, I mean—" Riki even had trouble explaining. He just didn't want anything unwanted to happen.
Celine approached Riki, then stopped in front of him. She was so close that Riki could smell her perfume. And the scent of strawberries from her hair.
