TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 8
In
the afternoon of the holiday, after training at the outer edge in the morning,
Nozomu and his friends had lunch at Ushitotei and resting for a while.
Originally,
they had no plans for today's training. However, because of Feo, they didn't
have enough training yesterday. So, Nozomu and his friends gathered and trained
again today.
However,
there was no Ena on their side. She joined them when there were no customers in
the shop, but right now, the seats at Ushitotei were filled with people having
lunch in the afternoon, and the hardworking girl was still busy with her job
serving customers.
Mars
also tried to help, but Ena said, "You've been training, so have a good
rest before helping me." So he's taking a break now.
"Even
so, it was quite bad this time, right Nozomu?"
"Ahaha
... well yea~h. I've always felt his strange gaze, and I was wondering what his
purpose was, but his reason was completely interest-oriented, and that alone
caused such a fuss ..."
Nozomu
answered Mars' words with a dry laugh.
"Sure,
the Fox Tribe is known to be pretty capricious, but I've never seen such a
lively Feo before."
"If
you're worried about it, you have to ask me thoroughly.
Tom,
who was in the same class as Feo, reiterated the difference when Feo and Nozomu
have a duel and the Feo on a daily basis.
Feo,
who was by his side, was scratching his head with a shady smile on his face.
"But,
I don't think challenging him so suddenly is a good thing to do. If you want to
know about Nozomu, you should talk to him and become his friend."
"Well,
it's a bit painful to say this, but there are places where I'm a little
lacking..."
However,
he was reflecting on it now. With Irisdina's harsh words, Feo awkwardly made
his gaze swim in the air.
"...
By the way, Feo, I want to ask something."
"Hmm?
What is it?"
As
Shīna opened her mouth as if she remembered something, Feo turned his gaze
toward her.
"...
Why are you here?"
“………………”
“………………”
The
air froze in an instant.
As
far as they remembered, Feo didn't come to train in the morning.
Nonetheless,
he was sitting next to Nozomu's chair before they knew it.
"What?
Why can't I be here?"
"Why
you say?..."
Shīna
asked Feo why he was here, but he asked her back and she got perplexed by his
words.
"Well,
I've received my punishment, right?"
"...I
don't think that's the place for me to say..."
"Well,
isn't it alright? Sure, I think he's repented..."
Feo
made an excuse one way or another, but Nozomu accepted it because he had no
particular reason to chased him away
The
other members were surprised, but they didn't seem to disagree with Nozomu's
decision. They probably already understand Nozomu's personality.
Although
Feo seemed to be causing quite an uproar, there was no malice or harm. He was
hard to understand because of his childlike behavior, but oddly enough, he
doesn't have any ill will towards Nozomu.
