Since removing his right hand from the

kettle he was holding would just make things worse, he endured the

pain as he returned the kettle to its stand.

I need to

hurry and cool my hand under water, he thought in a panic.

“Are

you all right!?”

Kusamakura, who was waiting in the living

room, jumped up and came toward him.

“Um, I’m all

right……”

“Idiot, hurry up and cool it

off!”

Kusamakura said as he grabbed Tatsumi’s arm roughly

and turned on the faucet. Cold tap water hit the area where the hot

water had hit him.

“Sorry……”

“It’s

fine.”

Kusamakura didn’t say anything, but he probably

thought he was more careless than he actually was. Or maybe he thought this sort of thing was inevitable since he was blind. He

wanted to explain that wasn’t really the case, but if he asked him

what had him so anxious today, he wouldn’t be able to give him an

answer. When he winced from the cold water making his hand numb, he

was told right by his ear to endure it.

—C-Close……

His

voice sounded like he was closer than he thought, it was at that

moment he realized their position was almost like he was being

embraced by him from behind.
