Chapter 332 - Struggle (1/2)
*UNEDITED*
Chauncey turned to the two culprits, who made their way down the stairs.” You didn't have to surprise us like that,” he mumbled. He wanted to lecture them for giving Setsura such a scare.
”You two were were up there?”
”Takajo-san told us that it would be alright to go up once the shooting was over. So we did, we sent you guys a message but neither of you replied.”
”Did you see the ghost?” Chauncey asked.
”Unfortunately no, but we did see a lot if spiders.”
He glanced up at the ladder area, ”Hmm, I wonder what the upstairs is like,” Chauncey muttered. For a theatre group, Chauncey didn't think they'd hold such big scale productions. But it turns out what he thinks is large scale isn't. This is small? Chauncey couldn't help but be amazed by everything in the Meiji era.
”I was surprised as well. Before the lights went out I felt a breeze.”
”That's the ghost then,” the man concluded with a satisfied expression on his face.
When he saw the girl go pale he can't help but chuckle. It's rare to see her like this. Still, how strange. Doesn't
”Do you want to go see too?” Takajo suggested.
”Ye--” he trails of when he saw the expression on Setsura's face. Chauncey knew she wouldn't it now. But, she must still be frightened.
”On second thoughts I'll have you show me tomorrow. Shall we head back to the apartment?”
As they headed out, he feels a tug on his back and found that the brunette rested her head there.
”Thank you very much, for looking out for me.”
”As long as your fine. That's it for me really.”
If he had the chance to learn anything other than swordsmanship. Perhaps, he could have taught himself to say something in a situation like this. Not these bull words but something better.
Chauncey glanced over and saw Setsura looking over at him curiously. He shifted about uncomfortably when he saw that gaze. ”What is it?”
”I was just thinking, you're actually a sweet guy.”
”...”
He stared at her speechless. What is she trying to get at by saying such words? He's sweet? So, what does that mean now? Even after they left the building, Chauncey was still trying to figure it out. Setsura's behaviour towards him is better now but she will surely hate him again once she finds out what he is hiding.
Chauncey stayed quiet, and so did Setsura. Both of them appeared to be in deep thought about something.
They both seemed to be looking for the timing to start up a conversation. But, nobody said anything. The two in front of them were awfully chatty and loud. More like it was Taiga one sided chatting away, the bartender looked exhausted.
Suddenly Setsura spoke up, ”Are you getting used to things here?”
