"Geez, what if they know their intelligent and confident Master is a crybaby?"
Raphael sighed deeply after wiping off my tears with the handkerchief he had.
I sniffled and pouted, leaning my head against his shoulder.
"... I'm just tired."
"Hmm, is that so?"
He hummed, positioned himself into a position that I could get comfortable.
"Why are you tired?"
".... Because of the burden on my shoulder. It's so heavy."
"... Pfft."
He chuckled as I raised my brow in confusion.
"Why are you laughing!?"
"Well, I mean- pfft, there's nothing on your shoulder beside your clothes."
Hearing him say that made my eyebrows twitch in annoyance and veins were growing on my forehead.
"Relax~ relax~ That's not all, right?"
I pouted and avert my gaze somewhere else.
"... Yes."
"So? What is it? Tell me."
He started to stroke my hair softly, as if comforting me so I could feel better.
