Tamara shook her head slowly. "It's nothing, Hina~" she said, dragging the last syllable of his name with a sultry purr.
Hinata narrowed his eyes but said nothing more. He too was battling what he actually felt for her, so it was best not to raise any matter that would further stir it.
He turned back to where the wolf's corpse lay, walked towards it, then crouched beside the body.
Since the system had said he needed to learn lightning to reach level three, wasn't it best to simply acquire it from the wolf?
A minute passed, then two, but no matter how much he touched the corpse, no system notification appeared.
Hinata scratched the back of his head. "Am I doing it wrong?"
He raised his hands to try once more, only to hear Tamara ask with genuine curiosity, "Are you trying to extract the ability?"
Hinata tried turning back, only for the white-haired woman to redirect his gaze forward. "Hey, Tamara, what are you doing?"
