Bab 101: I did sense something

Creak!

Ary came out and glanced toward the right corner.

Everyone was sitting there.

Ary smiled, and he stepped toward them.

"Hmm? Phew~ it's good that you found your book."

After seeing Almita at Ary's right arm, with a sigh of relief, Erica commented.

"Huh?"

Ary halted, then, while forcing a smile, he nodded,

"Ah, yeah. Hahaha."

He realised that it might be an excuse made by Almita.

He sat on the seat between Mio's and Erica's.

"How are you feeling now, big brother?"

With a worried expression, Mio asked, adding,

"I really didn't realise that I had made you eat too much."

"Ah, yeah. I'm sorry for that too."

While lowering her head, Erica apologised.

"....."

Ary didn't reply but nodded, pondering,

'I see. So, that's why Almita was so weary a moment ago.'

Then, he smiled at them, saying,

"It's fine. I won't mind this."

But unexpected,

*Growl~*

"Hmm?"

"Ah...?"

Mio and Erica reacted in confinement as Ary's stomach growled due to hunger.
