After tonight's fight, Perci became the center of attention at the resort.
Many people gathered around Perci, giving him praises and trying to befriend him.
"Perci! You're really strong! Wanna have a drink with me?" a person put his arm around Perci.
"No thanks, I don't drink. But I appreciate the offer," Perci smiled.
"What a cool guy! Maybe we should hang out sometime!" another person said.
"Haha, maybe..." Perci said.
"Your kicks were awesome! Like WAPOW! Please teach me your moves!"
The compliments didn't stop....
I can't even get close to Perci. There's too many people surrounding him!
One girl clinged onto Perci's arm.
"Heyyy.....are you single? You look really cute...."
Another girl held onto Perci and caressed his arm.
"You have such strong arms..."
"Hey! I found him first!"
"Hmph! That doesn't matter if he likes me better!"
The girls pushed their breasts towards Perci, trying to have him for themselves.
Perci just stood there with a shy embarrassed look on his face.
T-Those girls are shameless! What are you doing, Perci?!
I bet you're enjoying this!
Perci noticed my pouting face, then looked at both girls and moved them aside.
"Calm down girls," Perci said. "There's already somebody that I like, sorry."
He smiled at them and they let go.
"That somebody sure is a lucky girl..." the girl on his left said.
S-somebody that he likes? Who could it be?
Maybe....it's me....?
I shook my head and held my face.
I can't just assume things....
"I can tell that you've fallen in love again. I've seen it seven different times, so I'm sure."
Recalling Agnes' words....I feel like they might be true...
Even if I hate men......when it comes to Perci....it might be a different story.
Maybe I really do like him...
I still couldn't get any closer to Perci...the crowd's too deep.
Instead, I decided to watch the panda mascot breakdancing by the corner.
"Wow......"
"Hello, Ori," a voice whispered in my ear.
"!!"
Lucio looked me in the eyes and smiled.
"May I escort you to your room?"
"Why is a boy escorting me to my room though? Won't people be suspicious of you?"
Lucio chuckled for a moment.
"It's no problem," Lucio said. "All the people here trust me. It's probably because I'm the resort owner."
"Y-you're the owner of this resort?"
"Yeah, don't you remember? I come from a rich and powerful family. After turning 18, they decided to entrust this resort over to me."
