Aki wants a do over of her life. After her 'supposed' brother went nuts and deserted the village, Aki was left with nothing but a broken life. Unbeknownst to her, she gets her wish in the form of a fall. In a flash, she disappeared from the radars o...

When Hisoka saw the man headed for Aki in hot pursuit, his first instinct was to block him. Seeing the guy with his ass on the ground, Hisoka felt a sense of satisfaction. Who the hell was this bastard anyway? Why's he chasing after Aki?
"Who⏤"
"Con? What are you doing here?" Aki queried, eyes wide in surprise. She peaked from behind Hisoka, cheeks flushed red.
Con chuckled, standing up. The way he acted smoothly made Hisoka deduce that something's off.
