The Author's POV

Chapter 415

'Was I too harsh?'

I thought while my feet came to a sudden stop and I looked behind me where the others were.

Thinking back at the words I said to Kevin and the others, I thought that perhaps I may have been a little bit too harsh on them...but, thinking back at their behavior after my actions, I didn't regret what I said one bit.

If what I said helped them become aware of their mentality then so be it.

They could think whatever they wanted about me.

At the end of the day, what mattered was that they became strong. Strong enough to defeat the demon king.

Taking a deep breath, I leaned my body against the three and waited for the others to come.

Fortunately, I didn't have to wait for long as Amanda was the first one to come.

Walking underneath the moonlight, Amanda held her bow with her right hand. Her fine black hair draped over her shoulders, while the moonlight shone behind her, enhancing her delicate features.

The beautiful scene was akin to a painting.

Smiling at her, I opened my mouth and asked.

"...You guys done sorting your stuff out?"

"Mhm."

With a simple nod, she greeted me. But right as she nodded, her head tilted a little as her delicate brows knit together.

Noticing the change in her expression, I asked.

"What is it?"

"...your face."

She bluntly said.

My brow raised at her unexpected answer.

'Is there something wrong with my face?'

Touching my face with both hands, I found nothing wrong with it. Staring at me from a few steps away, Amanda sighed as she took a step forward.

Before I knew it she was a few inches away from me. Raising her hands she put her hands on my face, squishing my cheeks softly.

"Whwat are yowu doiwng!?"

I instantly became startled by her actions. But before I could say anything else, Amanda placed her finger on her lips.

"Shush."

'What do you mean shush?!'

I internally mouthed as Amanda's face was a few inches away from mine. Unknowingly my heart sped up a little.

Compared to the past, Amanda had only gotten more beautiful, and now that she was almost an adult, her features had become even more stunning. It took my breath away.

'Fuck, what's going on?'

Staring at her face which was extremely close to me, for the first time in a while, I was at a loss for words about what to do as my eyes darted left and right, in hopes of finding something to help me out of my predicament.

But it appeared as though I was the only one who felt this way as Amanda's expression remained unperturbed.

"Done."

It wasn't long before Amanda took her hand away from my face, and I could finally relax.

Quickly recomposing myself, I touched my face.

"...Done?"

Done with what?

I was so confused that I did not notice what she was trying to do.

"Mhm."

Amanda nodded.

Noticing my confusion, she pointed toward her face.

"You didn't put your skin mask well."

"Ah."

Realization finally dawned on me.

'So it was about my mask.'

Was it because I was in a rush? I wasn't sure, but it appeared as though I had somehow not placed my mask properly.

Still, my brows knit as I looked at Amanda.

"...You know, instead of doing it, you could've just told me and I would've been able to fix it myself."
