Invincibility is such Loneliness

Steel City, residential area in the southern zone, Riko's apartment.

Right after Riko returned home, she immediately sprang into bed and buried her head into her pillow.

She was very tired, a tiredness that came from the mind.

She had the constant feeling of being ambiguously touched, giving her great embarrassment and stress. But every time she thought of the expression Shi Xiaobai had before he left, she had a sense of foreboding. She was afraid that forcefully taking back her powers would result in disastrous consequences; hence, she kept forcefully suppressing the resistance in her heart.

That feeling felt like she was being hugged tightly by Shi Xiaobai. She was embarrassed and stressed over such intimate contact, but she also could not bear to push him directly away.

"Darn you Shi Xiaobai, how much did I owe you in my previous life!?"

Riko hugged her pillow and closed her eyes as she rolled around in bed.
