Chapter 189: The Beginning Of The Kessho's Fall.

Shortly after what Gray's time with Ruby, Charlotte appeared on their fleet In search of her. She had gotten the message from the flare and decided to act on her own. 

It was exactly around that time that Ruby woke up. 

"Ah, you're up. Did you sleep good?" Gray asked with a smile. 

"..." 

"...?" 

She stared at Gray with narrowed eyes for a few seconds without saying anything. Gray stared awkwardly back, not sure of what to do or say. 

"...Are you sure you're not a monster?" She asked seriously as her stare moved downwards. 

Gray let out a nervous chuckle before rubbing the back of his head. "I'm not sure what to say to that." 

Ruby's face suddenly flushed red as if she had just realised what she said and recalled exactly what had happened. 

"A-Ah... That just came out...!" She explained filled with embarrassment. "F-Forget I said that.." She continued whilst crossing her legs.
