Chapter 68 : A Challenge For The Protagonist

It was because the man was the protagonist, Midori decided.

The protagonist was equipped with an irresistible charm that was designed to subdue every other male and female character that came into contact with him.

And she was just one of them.

Or was she not?

The hell, she was the female lead of the story!

Midori's eyes snapped open, jolting awake as if from a dream. She shoved against Kiyoshi's chest, a sudden burst of defiance against the lingering heat of his kiss. Startled by the unexpected break, Kiyoshi stumbled a step backward.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Midori quickly replied. The traces of heat that emanated from the kiss still lingered on her lips, making it difficult for her to make up her mind.

"You do like me," Kiyoshi announced with a victorious smirk on his face. "I knew it."

"I don't. I am just helpless against you," Midori snapped, only to curse at herself right after.
