“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;well, I should be departing soon. Make sure to lock the door.”
“Ah, s-sorry, don’t worry about me.”
I’m not, he replied curtly, he then heard his footsteps head toward the front door. He chased after him frantically, but when he started to put his shoes on, he was told there was no need to escort him further than the door.
“But.”
“Walking around at night is dangerous, so it’s fine.”
Kusamakura’s words made his heart skip a beat once again. He felt for a moment he was being treated like a woman, but he must have meant that there were a lot of bikes and cars going by at this hour. He may have also meant there could have been muggers or something too. However, feeling as though he didn’t want to part with him, Tatsumi chased after him.
“A long time ago I had night blindness, but since it doesn’t matter if it’s day or night, I’ll be okay, right? Besides, it’s a path I normally take.”
