Her cheeks flushed, and she immediately covered her face with her shaky hands, all the while averting her gaze from Hajime who showed up out of nowhere.
"Ah, Hajime, what is it?" Keiichi asked with a somewhat heavy tone. There was an odd underlying message in his tone that screamed 'don't get in the way' as he spoke to Hajime with such clarity.
