It was painful for Aki to watch your other colleagues praise you. Of course, he also admired your abilities as a public safety devil hunter. But that tiny feeling of jealousy did not leave him when he saw how other hunters treated you too friendly, you only recently became part of this organization, and already have such popularity.
Aki is a professional, besides, he is your captain and would not show jealousy because only he wants to be the one who praises you. It was difficult for him to express his feelings, he was not used to being so open, but you gave him pleasant and warm feelings that he could hardly restrain.
Oh, how awkward he was next to you, trying to beg for at least something good.
"Well done."
It was rude, he could have said something more encouraging, but instead your captain praised you so casually. To all this, he looked at you with such an indifferent expression, but in fact, there was embarrassment in his gaze, not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of his subordinate, whom he loves so much.
