Chapter 87 – Making Up – Toki

Feeling a gentle warmth, I opened my eyes. A dejected-looking Assam was right in front of me. His spirit sound was filled with regret, condolences, and… fear?

I touched the downhearted Assam’s cheek and he lifted his head. Our eyes met. And then he immediately looked down again.

“I’m sorry…” he apologized in a tiny voice.

“I, didn’t do it.”

“Aah. I was taking my anger out on you. I’m sorry.”

He said he was jealous of Laham who could touch me while he couldn’t. That he was angry at himself for being immature and incapable of controlling his own sexual desires.

“I didn’t want to show you this pathetic side of me. I was scared you might be disillusioned. But when I heard you cried, my own problems didn’t matter anymore. I know that you’d never be unfaithful. Will you forgive me?”

As Assam apologized, I remembered something that I too had to apologize for.

“Assam. Me too, sorry.”

Not knowing why I was apologizing to him, the sound of fear coming from Assam swelled.

“… That… Do you… not like me anymore?”

“!! W-wrong!” I desperately denied Assam’s misunderstanding.

“Assam love! Want to apologize, different thing. Um, when Laham, em, when put fingers in mouth, I, um, felt it a bit… sorry.”

As I said that, Assam’s spirit sound turned calm again.

“You don’t need to mind such a trivial thing. I was so scared when I thought you wouldn’t like me anymore. This happened because I didn’t cast Assist on you right away. You have every right to be angry and you don’t need to apologize.”

When I made a face at Assam’s words, he gave a bitter smile and then drew me into a gentle hug. I heard him sigh next to my ear.

“Let’s call it even then. Can I kiss you? To celebrate our reconciliation?”

Of course, I nodded. I put my arms around his neck and kissed him.
