章節 2046: Trust

She kept her finger on my lips and continued, “Dear, you don’t have to be alarmed… I won’t be upset even if it turns out to be true.”

What did she mean by this? I couldn’t help but ask that to myself.

Did she figure it out herself or did someone tell her about it? Or maybe, the clues Mina and I left for her were already uncovered by her.

Based on her words, she’s not certain about it. At least, until I opened up to her by saying I wanted to apologize.

That settled her suspicion.

With this, one could say that I made a blunder. However, I’ve been meaning to confess it to her anyway. That’s one of my reasons for coming here.

At this moment, there’s no trace of unhappiness from Yayoi-san. In fact, apart from the hint of relief as though she pulled out what was prickling her, Yayoi-san's eyes still showered me with warmth and affection.

Like she said, she wasn’t going to be upset so an apology would be unnecessary.
