Niken could feel Kazuto's body tensing up and the emotional aura emanating from this man's body. She became reminded of what happened in the past when Kazuto couldn't hold back his emotions and went wild by killing the boar clan mercilessly.
Niken didn't want this man to experience the same thing. She didn't wish Kazuto to lose control and then regret the next day.
After calming herself down, Niken gently patted Kazuto's shoulder, causing Kazuto to shift his gaze toward her.
Miraculously, Kazuto's fierce gaze and killing intent when Kazuto watched Yang Shuo disappeared and was instantly replaced by nothing but gentleness as soon as a pair of his eyes rested on Niken's.
"I'm fine now. You can put me down."
"Are you sure?"
"En."
