บท 80: Gingerbread Cafe (2)

"..."

I stared at Yuki for a little while. In response, Yuki stared back at me with a smile. I sighed inwardly, knowing that she won't tell me a thing. I can't do anything about her not wanting to tell me, it's her own choice. However, I want her to know that she can tell me anything, so in that way, there's someone whom she can lean on other than herself.

"Okay... If you say so."

After I said that, Yuki nodded in response. If that thing is too personal, then I will not poke my nose on that matter anymore. Otherwise, it could leave a sour taste if things went south. I'd rather keep it to myself than escalate to that level. I hope Yuki can deal with it, knowing her—She'll be okay. Yuki is a person with a strong sense of responsibility because of her prestigious status as the heiress of the Hatsumi Family.
