Chapter 93: A little step (2/2)

“You’re not tidying your hair?”

“That’s a different matter. I don’t need to do so now.”

Itsuki probably was hinting at Amane to maintain that old hairstyle, but Amane was unsure if he could actually cultivate this confidence in this state.

Also, there was a simple, major reason. If he were to appear as the boy they were talking about, Amane had a feeling the other boys would slaughter him out of envy. He thus chickened out.

The ‘important person’ Mahiru spoke of seemed to have shocked many boys.

When they used to talk about the Angel, none of them mentioned anything about love. She just personally mentioned the term ‘most important person’ however. The power was enough to discourage her admirers.

The last time someone spotted her walking with anyone else, she denied it, saying they did not have such a relationship. It appeared she was hinting at one this time, which caused much guessing, and a major incident.

Amane was the rumored boy. He really wished others would not discuss this before the true identity of the boy.

“I just hope that you can finish your transformation soon and scare them. At least I can brag to others that you’re a friend I can be proud of.”

“What’s the point?”

“Hm, if you get a positive opinion, I’ll be happy, you know?”

“…Really?”

Amane felt a little bashful when Itsuki said so, but he did not know if he was just overimagining it.

He felt he did have a very good friend. he turned his face aside, not wanting this emotion to appear on his face, but Itsuki burst out laughing, as though he had seen through Amane completely.
