Without knowing the real intentions of Shizuku, Shia and Kaori nod to each other and jumped at Hajime while he was reloading “Orkan”.
[Hajime-san! Leave it at this!]
[That’s right, Hajime-kun. You may drag Yue’s group into it!]
He desperately glares at Shia and Kaori clinging to him. Hajime seems to be dissatisfied and utters a twisted expressions and raised his voice with an [A?, a?]
The appearance was, no matter how you look at it, one of a person that wanted to free his head. However, as he sees the two going [Ne?, Ne?], he regained his composure after a while.
[Fuuuuuu~~~~~ I understand. For now I’ll leave it at this. I feel refreshed after shooting.]
Hajome relaxed his shoulders and called back the “Cross Bits” and put them away along with “Orkan” into the “Treasure Box”. Shia and Kaori regained their composure and let out a relieved breath.
[My bad, I made you take care of me.]
[Ie, I also got mad at their methods. It was inevitable.]
[Un, really, it was the worst….. In a sense it was expected from the great labyrinth.]
When Hajime regained his composure he showed a wry smile, the two shaked his head while shaking their own heads in denial.
When Hajime was talking in the background of a part of the sea of tree that almost turned into wasteland, Shizuku stepped forward while having a cramp on her cheek.
[Naguno-kun, if you calmed down could you do something about Kouki ….]
With the words [Ah, Now that you mention it.] Hajime turns around to Kouki.
Kouki was shedding tears while sobbing. His appearance was indescribably pitiful. Kaori immediately used recovery magic when it was suggested by a glance.
[Uu, This feeling. Is it recovery magic? Oh, i can see light] (TL: Yes he sees light, maybe he should also see a tunnel and go into it?)
Kouki is liberated from the pain in his eyes and is looking joyfully. In addition, when Hajime who is the ringleader of the pain is spotted, he lifted his eyes and raises a voice of protest.
Shizuku explains the situation and the other party shows a dissatisfied face.
[You see, Amanogawa, though i am at fault, i couldn’t hold back. It was a critical moment of whether my lover’s improper appearance was seen by another man. A mans …. eyes should be crushed, don’t you agree?] (TL: Written Tennokawa, read as Amanogawa. This took me some time. Maybe i should write down their surnames or something….)
[What’s with that “common sense?”. Don’t demand for an agreement in that tone. I almost became blind. In the first place, how can you tell the fake apart? Setting aside the real thing, when i think about how i tasted the pain because of the impostor…… I’m really angry.]
[You are foolish. Comparing your eyesight with Yue’s half-nakedness….. is like putting a stone from the roadside with a high-class jewel on a scale.]
[My eyes aren’t roadside stones!]
Kouki objects to Hajime and shows resentment towards him, while Hajime wards of his remark, he goes back to his search.
