Dimensional Descent

"Cap, who's this?"

Seeing that the situation was much better than they originally thought it would be, the guys somewhat relaxed. Now that their faculties were somewhat freer to think of other things, they finally noticed a silent figure sitting on the snowy roof of the collapsed building.

It was quite obvious that she was a woman. However, from the glimpses of her face they had seen, they didn't recognize her. Even if they ignored the scars, they didn't remember ever seeing such a woman before.

Compared to the past, the inflammation of Aina's scars had lessened by a large margin. So, while they still felt that this figure they didn't recognize wasn't very attractive and was quite pitiable, they didn't feel the same deep revulsion the people of Terrain had felt.

Still, many of them were still inwardly sighing a breath of relief. Did this mean that their Captain had finally moved on from Aina?

They had already lost count of how many times they'd tried to convince Leonel to consider other women. For a Five Star Quarterback to finish high school as a virgin… it was a waste of nature's gifts. They had shed no small amount of tears.

So, even if this woman wasn't up to the standards they believed their captain deserved, at the very least, she was a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately…

Leonel grinned. "You all don't recognize your own sister-in-law?"

Milan's eyes widened along with the other guys.

"Aina?" Milan's face flashed with confusion.

Unlike Leonel who seemed capable of recognizing Aina regardless of the situation or apparently no matter how she looked, it was clear that the others didn't have this ability at all. The face Aina displayed now was completely unlike the one she had used at Royal Blue Academy.

Aina smiled lightly in greeting before glaring at Leonel.

Sister-in-law? It seemed that this Leonel was getting a bit too courageous. He still hadn't learned his lesson after she spent this time ignoring him?
