“Then”

Hajiht into Kaori’s eyes

“Will you protect me?”

“Eh?”

He are of what he was saying, and as athis to her it ashamed him His face was already red with shaht Kaori understood the situation well

“You are a healer, right shi+rasaki-san? Healer was a class that had an innate talent for healing et injured, you can cure me Will you protect me with this power? If so, I believe I’ll be fine”

Kaori just stared at him for a bit Hajime just endured desperately the sha contact with Kaori’s Even though his body rithing

The biggest cause of a person’s insecurity is the unknown Kaori right noorrying about what could possibly attack Haji, if they had the confidence to face the unknown that would attack him

For a while, they stared at each other The silence was broken when Kaori started to smile

“You never change, Nagumo-kun”

“?”

Hajihed at his expression

“Naguh school I knew you since the second year of middle school”

This revelation caused Hajih his roaned as he thought, and this caused Kaori to giggle at him

“It was a one-sided eza (Prostration) Since you were in such a position, you did not see me”

“Do-Dogeza!?”

Why did she see hiain, but for a different reason this time Where and when did she see him in such a position? He frantically searched his led as she saw Hajime make so many comedic faces

“Yeah, you were surrounded by shady people Even when they spit at you, poured their drinks on you, or stepped on you, you did not stop Before long, the left appalled”

“I showed such an unsightly sight…”

Haji a little It would have been the sa from his Chunibyo And it would have to be the worst scene in his dark past Only a humorless smile came out The same humorless smile that came out when he found out that his mom had found his hidden Ero doujinshi+ stash and placed them neatly on his bookshelf

However, Kaori just gave hientle look One that was free from contempt and ridicule

“No, it wasn’t unsightly Rather, when I saw you like that, I thought you were a very strong and kind person”

“Ha?”

Hajime couldn’t believe what he heard That’s not the kind of impression someone would have, if they saw that Perhaps, shi+rasaki-san had a special fetish for that? Haji

“I randrandson”

It started when the little boy accidently hit delinquents, and smashed his Takoyaki onto them The little boy started to cry, the delinquents started to niggle the grandrandmother cowered in fear, they were in a very difficult situation

By chance Hajirandmother started to take out her wallet, his body ht in his life before He had only practice his Chunibyo Special Moves at hoainst such opponents, so he perforeza In public he did it It was unexpectedly e away It went as planned and soon the delinquents left

“Strong people would have solved it easily with violence Kouki would defeat the person that was causing the trouble But I don’t think there are many people ould help others even when they were not strong Especially someone that would prostate themselves for the sake of others In fact, at that ti like shi+zuku, but I just stood there and did nothing Just asking someone to save them”

“shi+rasaki-san…”

“So, I believe you are the strongest person I know When I saw you in high school, I was so happy to see you I wanted to becoet to know you But you just fell asleep…”

“Ahaha, Sorry”

Hajime was shy and embarrassed when he knew the reason Kaori interacted with hih opinion she held for him

“Therefore, even if I a crazy in the dungeon Like when you faced the delinquents”

Kaori looked at Hajime with determination

“I’ll protect you, Nagumo-kun”

Hajiht at her, and nodded

“Thank you”

Ihed The role of the man and wo the hero While Haji the dah at the weird situation

They chatted for a few moments, then Kaori returned to her roos He wanted to find so he could be useful for Hajime wanted to rid himself of his incompetence It did not sit so ith him, that he was so dependent on others Hajime fell asleep with renewed determination in mind

nobody noticed the person that was staring as Kaori left Hajily distorted expression on their face
