But he was not that worried, because he believed that Yaeko's decision had been based on sufficient certainty and consideration of the situation. As for where she was heading to, it was none of his concern.

Lu Shu turned and smiled at Chiba, who was standing by the door. He said, "Since Yaeko has recovered, it's time for me to leave as well."
"Kiriharakun, could you please hug me?" Chiba pleaded softly, "As Kirihara Yousuke, hug me, just once."
Before Lu Shu could react, Chiba threw herself into Lu Shu's arms and left at once. She said, "Please take care. Thank you."
Lu Shu was well aware that the feelings infused into the hug were not directed at him, but the face he was wearing. And it was an unfulfilled wish of the girl's.
