PROTIP: The Roman numeral 'X' stands for 10. Similar to the game, 'X' is the max bond limit, meaning Yuuen and Akira's relationship is finally maxed. The author would have called the chapter "Faith MAXED" but it just looked strange so she kept it 'x'.

"You better be finished before you get back!" Morgana glared daggers at Akira, who just gulped and turned away from the two other individuals.
"Finished?" Yuuen questioned, not really understanding what he meant.
Morgana didn't respond but just scurried away, probably taking a shortcut to Leblanc as Yuuen and Akira just continued their slow walk, now completely alone.
Yuuen sighed, whatever had to have been bothering Akira was beyond her.
"Hey..." She said softly, looking forward, as Akira gave her a curious glance.
"I heard what you did to save me, and I was there for part of it too." She continued, unbeknown to her, the blackette quietly flustered around behind her. "You went all this just way to save me."
"Thank you, Akira." She turned around, smiling gratefully, a glimmer of true gratitude and a little bit of something else shining in her eyes.
Akira just smiled awkwardly as his heart picked up its pace a bit.
"You're really kind, you know that?" She mentioned as the boy raised his brow curiously.
"How's that?" He questioned, now curious about where the topic was going.
"You sacrificed your life just to save someone like me, that's not a feat many people are willing to do." She explained as Akira just furrowed his brow.
"It's not like I did it just for someone like you." Akira blurted out before covering his mouth in embarrassment.
Yuuen whipped her head in confusion as Akira flustered on his next words.
"Oh! Not like that! I mean-... Uh! That's not what I meant to say..." He fumbled around, trying to regain a proper sense of speech which seemed almost impossible for the boy.
He just coughed awkwardly as the two of them came to a stop in their walk, Yuuen eyeing him curiously as Akira just gulped back the lingering fear hanging in the back of his throat.
"What I meant to say... is that I didn't risk my life for you simply because I'm a good person, I risked my life for you because it's you." He finished, building up his confidence as he peered into Yuuen's eyes, true sincerity shimmering in his gray orbs.
"W-What...?" Yuuen stuttered out, her face showing a clear tint of red as a familiar rush found it's way into her chest.
The same rush she felt on that day when he apologized to her in the rain, and a rush she'd been feeling in all the moments they've been together since then.
But she'd never heard heart pound as erratically and ferociously as at that moment.
"A-Are you saying-...?" She stuttered out, her lips trembling slightly as a deep red rose on her cheeks.
Perhaps it was from the embarrassment of having to say any more, or maybe just the familiar rush the boy was also feeling at that moment, but he didn't hesitate before crashing his lips onto hers.
"Mhm!" Yuuen's eyes fluttered closed as her mind drifted more towards the tender hand that hung on the side of her cheek than the soft lips of the boy she loved resting upon her own.
She'd never been kissed before, but surprisingly it wasn't that exploding firework feeling that she'd read about in storybooks. Instead, it was a warm, yet loving sensation that filled her from head to toe.
