It’s kinsa dumb, he’s like a newborn chick that imprinted on the first person it sees, in this case the first person that kisses him.
There was no romance from him before that, he held no such feeling nor was it hinted. But, he was bothered by that kiss and that was all. I bet if Valkirye kissed him first, he’d have “fallen in love” with her first.
And wtf, reaper. Reject him and then you want him back? Just keep it professional girl, he’s still gonna be your mercenary for your money. And you can sell my that reaper is actually in love with mc but she does not want to acknowledge her feeling for some dumb reason. Nope, she does not like him. At all. The most she wants is to use him to raid dungeons.
Author, please, don’t turn this manhwa to trash. We donmt need romance at this point. Go on with the main plot.
