He stood there rigid until Kusamakura spoke up.

“Hey.”

“Y-Yes?”

“You

“Personal

shrine?”

He had a feeling that would be something unusual

for a person who lived alone to have.

“I don’t.”

When

he answered, Kusamakura groaned in reply.

“Um……what

about it?”

“No, it’s nothing. Anyway—“

Tatsumi flinched at the sudden sharp sound.

“Aah,

“Um……?”

What

was that just now, he asked as he

tilted his head.

“What, there was a bug.”

Kusamakura

replied smoothly.

“Uuh, so what about the

shrine……”

“Nothing, don’t worry about it if you don’t

have one.”

He tilted his head as he wondered if it was to

pray to the gods to expel the stalker. Come to think of it, Tatsumi

realized he had worried about it being something like a ghost

before.
