“It’s fine, isn’t it?”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;what is?”
“I honestly don’t know what you’re so worried about, Kusamakura-san&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I won’t be able to see those strange looks anyway.”
See, Tatsumi pointed to his own eyes.
“Right? That’s why I’m not concerned about how anyone looks at me.”
Since that sort of dark joke would just make people feel awkward, he didn’t normally say things like that, but he had a feeling it wouldn’t affect Kusamakura. He didn’t say anything for a moment, but afterwards, Kusamakura suddenly let out a small laugh.
“You’re a strange guy.”
He said as Tatsumi felt his presence sit beside him for the first time. The bench slanted to the left just a little. Just that small difference made Tatsumi happy.
“What are you smiling about?”
“No reason. I was just thinking, you’re pretty obedient.”
“Wha&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;hey, you.”
You’re the one who told me to come over here, he mumbled in a quiet voice.
