Capítulo 143: Chapter 143

The tense atmosphere between Xue and Shin disappeared quickly enough when Cecil appeared.

It seemed like she wasn't just a pacifier for Xue, but as well as Shin now.

Cecil looked between Xue and Shin, and that's when she noticed the torn and loose grey yukata Shin was wearing, along with the battered wooden slippers.

Cecil furrowed her eyebrows, walking towards Shin and crouching to meet his eyes.

Shin jerked back and he found himself unable to maintain eye contact with Cecil, looking away.

Somehow, the way her clear eyes pierced into him made him inexplicably flustered.

"Shin."

Shin only looked up for a second, before he hurriedly glanced away.

"Let's go buy you some clothes," Cecil said, extending her hand towards him, tilting her head. "Hm?"

"... no." Shin answered curtly.

"Eh, that's no good! Your clothes are all torn, and your shoes too!" Hana jumped into the conversation, crouching down beside Cecil. "Everyone deserves to wear nice clothes and shoes!"
