The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1451

Adrian furrowed his brow, realizing his question was a bit off. He pouted slightly, saying, “Alright then. Let me rephrase that. Excuse me, big bro, where did you get your Mechanical Hero Kite?”

Tristan found something endearing about the boy’s earnestness and decided to indulge him with an answer. “I got it at the Mechanical Hero Toy Store in M State.”

Adrian silently noted this down, planning to tell his mom later. He then asked, “And did you get that Mechanical Hero mask you’re wearing from the same place?”

Tristan nodded. “Yep, same place.

Adrian pondered for a moment, realizing that even if his mom sent someone to M State to get him the toys, it would take a while. An idea popped into his head. “Could you sell me your kite and mask now, and then buy yourself new ones when you go back to M State?”

Tristan furrowed his brows, slightly taken aback by the boy’s forwardness.

He decided to ignore him and walk away, but Adrian tugged at his shirt. “It’s okay if you don’t want to sell them to me, but can I try on your mask? Just for a moment. I really love Mechanical Hero.”
