Meanwhile, as Seiji and Hisashi had their conversation, Kaede had been hugging Seiji all this time.
Seiji indicated to her that it was probably time to let go of him. However, she still hugged him tightly and quietly without saying a word.
"You scared her so much," Hisashi told him. "Seeing you shatter like that, we were under the impression that something terrible happened to you. She… worked her hardest to rush back as quickly as possible."
To be honest, he almost wanted to say 'as if she was insane' instead.
He had definitely witnessed for the first time just how much power a woman could explode with when she was worried about the person she loved… Even as her older brother, Hisashi was somewhat scared by his sister in such a condition.
It was because of Kaede going on a rampage that the remainder of the return process went unexpectedly smoothly.
Should he make a comment like "Even hell cannot stop a maiden in love?"
