  Being an airhead is scary .

  Herro, reizenchuu desu~

  Um, so I think you guys realized I only posted two chapters last week and also this week . I’m sorry about that . college year has started again last week and I had troubles managing my time, like the beginning of every year . Anyway, I will try posting three chapters a week next time if things go back to usual -

  cheers!

  “Here . ”


  “Thanks . ”


  I gave the tea can I bought from a vending machine in a public park to Kamaishi, and sat on a bench next to her .

  In front of us was a water fountain and voice of children playing around .

  The time was evening, it was already past noon so the heat had considerably decreased, but it was still a bit hot .

  “Are you okay?”


  “Yeah, I’m fine now . ”


  Checking is she was alright, Kamaishi replied to me with a smile .

  Well, she had already calmed down on our way walking to this park, so I guess she’s really fine .

  But that’s not the problem .

  I sidelong glanced at Kamaishi .

  Leaving the tea can closed, she played with it in her hands while hazily gazing at her surroundings .

  It felt almost as if she didn’t smile at me just now .

  I didn’t sense any might in her eyes and hesitated about what to say .

  (What should I do……)

  Pondering about what I should do next while drinking my tea, Kamaishi talked to me .

  “I’m sorry for involving you in this, Kamiya-kun . ”


  Fixing her sight ahead, Kamaishi said with a weak voice . Her expression gradually become gloomy thinking that what happened is because of her .

  Realizing the reason she was feeling down, I placed my tea can in her cheeks .

  “Hyaa!”


  Feeling the sudden sense of the cold can running in her cheek, Kamaishi let out a faint scream and trembled .

  She immediately bent back, placed her hand on her cheek and looked at me with a shocked expression .

  I responded to that expression in a nonchalant way .

  “Did you cheer up with this?

  “W-Why did you do that all of a sudden……”


  Confused by my unexpected move, Kamaishi rubbed her cheek .

  I laughed and continued what I wanted to say .

  “I don’t think about what happened earlier as a trouble . In fact, I happy that I made it in time before that guy caught your hand . ”


  I tried cheering her up with those light words, but Kamaishi still didn’t change her gloomy expression .

  “But, if Akuya-kun was to do something to you next time……”


  “Don’t worry . That guy won’t show up ever again . ”


  “What?”


  “Never mind . ”


  Due to my spell, That guy is believing that he will die if he event approached Kamaishi .

  He probably wouldn’t come back again .

  Even if he did come to face me again, I’d say that he’s reckless . I’d beat him up instantly is he did .

  Kamaishi seemed to have troubles understanding my last declaration .

  It would be bad if she was to ask me any further about it, so I concluded the conversation .

  “Well, don’t worry . I don’t think you will end up in such a situation again . ”


  I stood up and threw the can in the garbage box . Kamaishi seemed to be hesitating to say something at that time .

  “You won’t ask me what happened……?”


  “I’m not intending to ask you forcibly . ”


  She seemed to be waiting for me to ask her about the situation, but I answered her in a casual manner .

  Everyone got at least one or two things they don’t want the others to know about . I’d be lying if said I’m not interested, but there’s no need to make her speak out of her will .

  “Did you want me to ask?”


  Kamaishi shook her answered .

  “No, I don’t mind . But I wonder why I feel relieved every time I hear your words . ”


  “I’m happy to hear that . ”


  Kamaishi then suddenly stood up as well, and walked towards me, smiling .

  “Thank you for saving me and cheering me up . It’s all thanks to you . ”


  She honestly thanked me .

  I stiffened up a bit after seeing her cheerful smile and felt somehow awkward .

  It was the first time someone expressed their gratitude to me with such honesty .

  Not being able to stand her innocent smile, I diverted my gaze . It’s scary how she could make such a innocent smile .

  “What wrong, Kamiya-kun?”


  “N-No, it’s nothing . ”


  Finding it strange that I averted my eyes, Kamaishi asked me, but I randomly gave a bague answer .

  I was about to have my heart stolen by her just now, though she didn’t realize that .

  “Waaai!”


  “Here, here!!”


  “It’s nice to be a child……” ← Kamaishi

  “Yeah, I remember my childhood when I watch them playing like this . ” ← Yato

  “Your childhood?”


  “Yeah, the time when I could open up to anyone I meet . I can’t do something like that now . ”


  “It’s kinda hard for me to react when you give those nostalgic eyes……”
