It may have been too forward. However, as if he were being nudged on by the kindness of the voice that had asked him if he were all right earlier, Tatsumi continued.
“Since I live alone&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;and make sure to lock the door, I can’t relax with this happening.”
“Well, but&h.e.l.lip;”
“It’s not just, what if someone has been coming and going, when I think, what if they’re somewhere in the house, I get creeped out&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;if only someone who could see would tell me there was no one there, everything’s fine, I’d be relieved.”
Since Tatsumi was unable to see, he had no certainty, and felt unnecessarily frightened. That’s why if Kusamakura, who was able to see, told him for sure, there’s no one in this room other than you, Tatsumi, he felt as though he could relax for the time being.
“Got it.”
Perhaps because he had implored him so desperately, Kusamakura agreed after a brief moment of silence.
“If it’s all right with you.”
He added, even though Tatsumi was the one who asked him for a favor. He blinked. Was he trying to refrain from stepping into his private s.p.a.ce? He could understand that, but he liked that about Kusamakura.
