Supervillain Idol System: My Sidekick Is A Yandere

Chapter 292 - 292: The Citadel (Part 4)

Several minutes later, Don found himself walking down another corridor, this time a few steps behind Elle.

She led the way, her posture slightly stiff, showing her nerves as her eyes flitted about,

Don returned her look with a faint smile, trying to keep his tone light. "What makes you think something's wrong?"

She hesitated, her hand lifting to rub her opposite arm awkwardly. "Y-you, um…" She paused, as though searching for the right words. "You give off a certain energy when something is bothering you."

Her other hand moved to push a stray strand of hair behind her ear, the gesture shy and unguarded.

Don tilted his head slightly, curious. 'Does she mean figuratively or literally?' he wondered. But he dismissed the thought before it could sidetrack him, answering simply, "I see."

He then offered her a small, reassuring smile. "Don't worry. It's not anything bad."

Elle nodded faintly, though her unease lingered in the slight downturn of her lips. "Okay."
