"What’s the matter, Haruta-kun?" asked Natsuya concernedly when she saw Seiji looking somewhat sad.
Seiji let out an awkward cough as he averted his gaze. "It's nothing, really."
Shika Kagura had yet to wake up.
"All the spells on her have been dispelled, and there’s nothing wrong with her condition. She should wake up shortly," Natsuya explained.
Seiji nodded.
After that, he carefully returned Shika back to her room in Natsuya’s residence.
Having placed her on the bed and covering her with a blanket, Seiji sat down on her bedside and observed her face.
Just earlier… what he had just heard was probably Shika-chan’s gratitude… as well as her farewell…
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, Seiji still felt a twinge of sadness when he recalled the scene.
This was despite him knowing the young Shika-chan for barely a day.
