Chapter 21 - Making Up

Self-edited.

Ambient’s pointed ears drooped as she observed Sakito’s actions.

Trying not to startle her, Sakito called out as gently as he could, “Ambient- san .”

“… Sakito.”

Ambient’s wandering gaze eventually settled on him.

—Leaving a girl this anxious alone… I’m really a good-for-nothing.

“Could you come down, please?”

“Yes… just a moment.” Nodding, she lightly jumped down from the branch. Just before touching the ground, a sudden gust of wind slowed her fall. Using magic, she easily landed from a height of about three stories. At least, it seemed that way—

“Ah—”

Startled, Ambient lost her balance at the moment of landing and almost stumbled.

Sakito quickly stepped forward and caught her just before she fell.

“Ah, uh…!”

Their eyes met the moment he caught her, and Ambient immediately looked down, completely averting her gaze. Sakito pondered what to do and finally decided to speak up.

“Ambient- san , I’m sorry about earlier. I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that… Please forgive me.”

“ Un . Me too… I’m sorry.”

After they both apologized, Ambient looked up at Sakito.

“Saki… to… Ummm…”

As she spoke his name, she closed her eyes, almost like a maiden yearning for a lover’s kiss. However, what she desired was something different.

“I know.”

Sakito gently pulled Ambient closer, and her forehead rested against his chest. She then began to rub her forehead against him, much like a pet seeking affection from its owner.

“Mmm~~~”

Seeing Ambient act like a pet seeking comfort, Sakito felt relieved. It seemed they had successfully made up.
