Lyria stood on the wooden bridge, leaning lightly against its railing as she gazed at the magnificent World Tree in admiration.
The enormous tree dominated the distant skyline, its vast branches stretching across the sky while countless leaves shimmered beneath the afternoon sunlight.
"Waiting for me?"
A voice suddenly whispered beside her ear. Warm breath brushed against her sensitive skin.
"AEE!?" Lyria let out a cute yelp and hurriedly stepped away.
Standing behind her was Noah, wearing a teasing smile.
"Noah! Don't sneak up on me like that!" she complained, her fair cheeks already turning bright red. A few strands of her golden hair framed her flushed face.
"Hehe. Come on, where's the fun if I can't tease you?"
"Hmm... Noah, you really are..." Lyria crossed her arms beneath her chest, giving him an exasperated look. Her huge chest looked more prominent because of crossing her arms beneath them.
