Chapter 220: Curious about Her House (1/2)

“Why do you look so gloomy, Amane-kun…?”

“Why exactly…”

Shuuto and Shihoko left the exhibition sales of the crafts club, and started touring around again. Mahiru leisurely followed them while latching onto Amane, not letting him run away.

Amane concealed his pouting emotions as he stared at the back of his delighted parents, looking completely unmotivated.

The stares hurt.

He could feel stinging stares upon him, for he was moving along with his parents who gained much attention.

He did not like the attention, but he started to get used to it, especially as Mahiru’s boyfriend.

The stares this time were different, for they were neither jealous nor malicious, but curious. The familiar looking faces had everyone all the more interested.

His parents flirted around as they went to another shop, and Amane could only trudge along behind them.

Having witnessed this, Mahiru lowered her eyes awkwardly.

“…We can split from them if you are that unwilling…”

“Not that I’m unwilling. It’s just, a little awkward…seeing my own family like this…”

“…It is hypocritical of you, Amane-kun. I think you are very similar to Shuuto-san.”

“How so?”

“…Well recently…erm, you will instinctively give that ‘you belong to me’ possessive vibe…”

You started holding my hands, grabbing my shoulders. Mahiru’s cheeks turned increasingly red, and she pursed her lips slightly. Amane was silent, and kept his mouth shut.
