When he replied to the words that

finally came from Kusamakura, he got quiet again. Maybe he had

noticed his ulterior motives and was upset. That suspicion arose as

he swallowed down what he was chewing. He didn’t think it was

tried joking, but Kusamakura didn’t reply.

“Um……?”

he opened his mouth to ask him a little frantically if he were still

“—I

can’t do nights.”
