Seiji didn’t get a chance to answer Nozomi Uehara’s question as Kaede had already answered for him.
"Harano-kun saved me once before! On the street... when I was being harassed by someone, he acted the part of the hero and saved me."
Nozomi looked at her searchingly upon hearing this. She noticed the blonde beauty had a coy look in her eyes and was blushing slightly.
"That’s why I… feel gratitude towards Harano-kun, and I know that he’s a really strong boy. I’ll feel very safe being by his side."
Seiji had no idea what to say to all this.
Nozomi covered her mouth to suppress a smile as the curiosity in her eyes changed into a look of understanding. She looked back and forth between Kaede and Seiji.
"I see. I understand now; this... is just like my daughter’s situation."
‘Hehehe, Haruta-kun, you’re such a...’
All of Seiji’s hairs stood on edge as he saw the landlord’s smile, which was filled with such deep meaning!
