章 177: Natsuki's Newfound Team, Kazuichi and Arisu

Lea watched as Arisu moved efficiently, her movements precise and caring. She felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. "Thank you, Arisu. I don't know what I would have done without you and Kazuichi. And pardon my late introductions. I'm Natsuki Lea..." She trailed off.

Fidgeting, she kept glancing at the door to the bathroom. Although she wasn't in her usual self for the past couple of weeks, she knew that she had acted rather rudely to her saviors... especially to Kazuichi whom she had mercilessly bitten. 

'I should say sorry... but how?' She contemplated, closing her eyes as she felt slightly embarrassed.

Arisu smiled as she filled a basin with warm water. She could smell her emotions from a mile away but she didn't pry too much into her thoughts. "Don't worry about that. Kazuichi is not someone who holds grudges. A simple sorry would suffice."
