Chapter 214: Do not Bully (2/2)

“In terms of beauty and etiquette, I find them cute, but don’t worry. You’re the only one who makes me want to dote on for being cute.”

“…A-Again with such words…”

“Looks like you want me to explain. You’ll be jealous if I don’t say this.”

This time, Amane whispered so softly that others could not hear. She frowned, pursed her lips, and bashfully lowered her eyes again.

“…I feel like a fool for being restless.”

“You can check as many times as you want.”

“I will be embarrassed though.”

“I’ll dote on you again. You happy with that?”

“Are you intending to kill me?”

“That’s hyperbole.”

“It is not. You are always torturing my heart…it causes me much burden.”

“You hate it?”

“Not that I do…but erm, please show some mercy.”

Mahiru’s shoulders shriveled, and Amane’s desire to tease her was piqued, but at the same time, he remembered that she might pout if he overdid. Some moderation would be fine.

I’ll see, so he answered, but she glared back at him unhappy. It seemed he was not trusted on me.

“…I shall retaliate if you bully me next time.”

“Interesting.”

“…I shall ignore you if you do so again.”

Mahiru turned her head aside, and she was so adorable that Amane chuckled. She then snatched his cookie unhappily, turning her head further aside.
