"Wh-what are you doing...!?"
"Nothing much. I'm just giving you a hug."

As Luo Zhen hugged Edelweiss with a grin, completely disregarding the crowd around them, Edelweiss was clearly flustered, yet she did not resist him in the slightest. Instead, she accepted his embrace with a flushed face. Everyone felt as though they had suffered a considerable shock.
Although they had already heard from Edelweiss about her relationship with Luo Zhen and knew that the two of them were more than ordinary friends, seeing the World's Strongest Swordsman looking shy while being embraced by one of their classmates still made everyone feel as though they were living in a dream.
Who could have imagined that the Valkyrie, hailed as The World's Most Evil Criminal and admired by swordsmen all over the world, actually had such a girlish side?
