Chapter 58

Chapter 58
Being an airhead is scary .
Herro, reizenchuu desu~
Um, so I think you guys realized I only posted two chapters last week and also this week . I’m sorry about that . college year has started again last week and I had troubles managing my time, like the beginning of every year . Anyway, I will try posting three chapters a week next time if things go back to usual .
-cheers!
“Here . ”
“Thanks . ”
I gave the tea can I bought from a vending machine in a public park to Kamaishi, and sat on a bench next to her .
In front of us was a water fountain and voice of children playing around .
The time was evening, it was already past noon so the heat had considerably decreased, but it was still a bit hot .
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine now . ”
Checking is she was alright, Kamaishi replied to me with a smile .
Well, she had already calmed down on our way walking to this park, so I guess she’s really fine .
But that’s not the problem .
I sidelong glanced at Kamaishi .
Leaving the tea can closed, she played with it in her hands while hazily gazing at her surroundings .
It felt almost as if she didn’t smile at me just now .
I didn’t sense any might in her eyes and hesitated about what to say .
(What should I do…)
Pondering about what I should do next while drinking my tea, Kamaishi talked to me .
“I’m sorry for involving you in this, Kamiya-kun . ”
Fixing her sight ahead, Kamaishi said with a weak voice . Her expression gradually become gloomy thinking that what happened is because of her .
Realizing the reason she was feeling down, I placed my tea can in her cheeks .
“Hyaa!”
Feeling the sudden sense of the cold can running in her cheek, Kamaishi let out a faint scream and trembled .
She immediately bent back, placed her hand on her cheek and looked at me with a shocked expression .
I responded to that expression in a nonchalant way .
“Did you cheer up with this?
“W-Why did you do that all of a sudden…”
Confused by my unexpected move, Kamaishi rubbed her cheek .
I laughed and continued what I wanted to say .
“I don’t think about what happened earlier as a trouble . In fact, I happy that I made it in time before that guy caught your hand . ”
I tried cheering her up with those light words, but Kamaishi still didn’t change her gloomy expression .
“But, if Akuya-kun was to do something to you next time…”
“Don’t worry . That guy won’t show up ever again . ”
“What?”
“Never mind . ”
Due to my spell, That guy is believing that he will die if he event approached Kamaishi .
He probably wouldn’t come back again .
Even if he did come to face me again, I’d say that he’s reckless . I’d beat him up instantly is he did .
Kamaishi seemed to have troubles understanding my last declaration .
It would be bad if she was to ask me any further about it, so I concluded the conversation .
“Well, don’t worry . I don’t think you will end up in such a situation again . ”
I stood up and threw the can in the garbage box . Kamaishi seemed to be hesitating to say something at that time .
“You won’t ask me what happened…?”
“I’m not intending to ask you forcibly . ”
She seemed to be waiting for me to ask her about the situation, but I answered her in a casual manner .
Everyone got at least one or two things they don’t want the others to know about . I’d be lying if said I’m not interested, but there’s no need to make her speak out of her will .
“Did you want me to ask?”
Kamaishi shook her answered .
“No, I don’t mind . But I wonder why I feel relieved every time I hear your words . ”
“I’m happy to hear that . ”
Kamaishi then suddenly stood up as well, and walked towards me, smiling .
“Thank you for saving me and cheering me up . It’s all thanks to you . ”
She honestly thanked me .
I stiffened up a bit after seeing her cheerful smile and felt somehow awkward .
It was the first time someone expressed their gratitude to me with such honesty .
Not being able to stand her innocent smile, I diverted my gaze . It’s scary how she could make such a innocent smile .
“What wrong, Kamiya-kun?”
“N-No, it’s nothing . ”
Finding it strange that I averted my eyes, Kamaishi asked me, but I randomly gave a bague answer .
I was about to have my heart stolen by her just now, though she didn’t realize that .

“Your childhood?”
