Chapter 81: The Angel and the boy’s dress up (2/2)

She however looked at Amane’s right hand with pity.

“…Have you been addicted to patting my head recently, Amane-kun?”

“Hmm, feels nice to stroke, or rather, touch. I’ll stop if you dislike it though.”

“I-I do not dislike it…I-I wish to pat you when I want to.”

“I don’t mind, but I waxed my hair.”

Amane dressed handsomely as he was going out with Mahiru.

Despite that, he did not put in as much effort as Mahiru. All he did was to tidy his heart.

He wore a white V-neck, a denim jacket, and black slim pants. He did not put much effort into dressing himself, and it was all very casual.

Amane felt he looked inferior standing next to Mahiru, but given that it was an issue of their facial appearances, that was to be expected.

“…May I pat?”

“It’s not like I hate it. Hang on for now though; we’re playing with cats today.”

“I-I am not thinking of doing so now. It is fine…I see, so I can touch…”

“I usually pat you. It’s expected that I can be patted back.”

Amane did not dislike to be patted by Mahiru…he found it comforting, on the contrary. There was no reason for him to refuse.

If this little act could satisfy Mahiru, Amane was more than glad to oblige.

Once she easily got his permission, Mahiru was initially at a loss, but soon after, she smiled happily.

“…I shall pat your head next time, Amane-kun. Today, I shall pat the kittens.”

“Oh.”

“Let us go then.”

“Yep.”

They left the same place, and Amane felt a little itchy. They left the house, harboring such thoughts.

Amane walked slowly as he paced himself alongside her. Then, he suddenly thought of something, and reached his hand towards her.

“Give me your hand.”

Amane said jokingly, and Mahiru’s face turned red as she smiled and held Amane’s hand.
