She is laughing. On the inside...
In regards to the 4koma at the end, I am surprised that big marshmallows aren't a thing in Japan. Or are they just an American thing?
@Rekdeksek34 I agree. Although, it is very hard to tell because that smile barely existed. Nearly identical to her default expression save for like a few pixels.
Feels good having this back. Took a while to remember the plot thanks to this chapter's explosion twist at the start.
Also, everyone should remember that the MC did call this a cliche romance novel, so expect the villains to do cliche things like giving away their modus operandi and backstory...
