Seia! Back to the Tea Party! - 17
Pat pat-
Â
"..."
Â
"Seia-chan... I'm sorry... okay?"
Â
"..."
Â
Nod-
Â
Hoshino is patting my head.
Â
Thankfully, it seems cleared up the misunderstanding, and she must have felt guilty about tormenting someone who couldn't speak.
Â
Ultimately, Hoshino confessed her actions to Sensei and stayed behind to apologize to me one-on-one.
Â
"Actually, this old man is a bit suspicious... I had a bad experience in the past."
Â
A bad experience...? Did I trigger some PTSD...?
Â
"... Ehe~ It's not that it's Seia-chan's fault, I just... wanted to vent a little."
Â
"..."
'Hoshino must have some bad memories too...'
Â
My dreams don't reveal past stories.
Â
Ultimately, the limits of my clairvoyance are clear.
Â
In the end, I have to hear the story from the person themselves.
Â
"I'm sorry, Seia-chan. For tormenting you without knowing anything."
Â
'Everyone makes mistakes, so of course, with my generous heart, I can forgive you!'
Â
Thinking that, I nodded to Hoshino with a bright expression.
Â
Nod-
Â
"... You forgive me that easily?"
Â
"...?"
'Eh? You ask if I forgive you that easily? Isn't it natural to forgive?'
Â
Â
Â
As I tilted my head, not understanding Hoshino's meaning, she chuckled and continued speaking.
Â
"Even so, it's not easy to forgive someone who knocked you out so easily~ This old man definitely couldn't have done it."
Â
Saying that, Hoshino then removed her hand from my head.
Â
"Ehe. This old man should get going soon~"
Â
"...!"
'Ah?! M-my head...!'
Â
Squeeze!-
Â
"... Ehe? Seia-chan?"
Â
"...! ...!!"
Â
Hoshino couldn't understand the words, but she could grasp the situation to some extent.
Â
'Seia-chan must have liked my patting!'
Â
"Ehe~ You liked this old man's touch!"
Â
Feeling suddenly better, Hoshino sat back down next to Seia, who was holding onto her hand as she tried to leave.
Â
"Alright! Seia-chan! Lap pillow!"
Â
"...!!"
Â
Hoshino's lap pillow?! I didn't quite understand, but it was clear this was a rare opportunity.
Â
From observing Hoshino for a short while, she didn't seem like the type to do this.
Â
With that judgment, Seia's head settled onto Hoshino's lap.
Â
Thump!-
Â
As if drawn by a magnet, Seia clung to Hoshino's lap and closed her eyes.
Â
Wasn't this a clear signal to pat her head?
Â
Understanding the meaning, Hoshino chuckled "ehe~" and placed her hand on Seia's head.
Â
'To receive not only a lap pillow but also head pats from a cute person...! Amazing...!'
Â
Just as I was about to enjoy Hoshino's touch.
Â
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!-
Â
A tremendous roar came from outside.
Â
"...?!??!!"
Â
"E-ehe??!"
Â
'Wh-what was that??! Was it a terrorist attack?!'
Â
Turning my head towards the massive sound, what I saw was...
Â
"Ahaha☆ I've come to take Seia-chan back?"
Â
"...??"
'Mika...??'
Â
It was Misono Mika, who had smashed the door with her fist and entered.
Â
"Ahaha☆ Seia-chan~ Let's go back to Trinity!"
Â
"Ehe...? Who are you, smashing someone else's school door-"
Â
"Normally, Nagi-chan said she would send Ichika from the Justice Task Force! But I thought it would be better if I came myself, so I sent her back!"
Â
"...!"
'Wh-why in person?!'
Â
Reading my expression, Mika gave a somewhat suspicious smile and approached me, lifting me in a princess carry.
Â
"Seia-chan needs to return to her duties as a Tea Party host! Your adventure ends here!"
Â
"W-wait a minute... Seia-chan is a Tea Party host?"
Â
"Huh? Ahaha☆ Seia-chan! You didn't tell them?"
Â
'I didn't feel like there was a particular reason to...'
Â
As I made that expression, Hoshino muttered with a very bewildered look.
Â
"E-ehe...? N-no way... I got the phone number of a Tea Party host...?"
Â
She seemed surprised about something... a little different, but...
Â
Anyway, leaving behind a flustered Hoshino, Mika carried me out of Abydos.
Â
"... I'll contact you later, Seia-chan!"
Â
Nod nod-
Â
Â
Â
Of course, I didn't forget to respond to Hoshino's greeting.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â

* * *
Â
Â
Â
A peaceful Tea Party. Nagisa couldn't stop Mika from going to Abydos.
Â
"Nagi-chan! I brought Seia-chan!"
Â
"... So you brought her back after all."
Â
Seia is asleep in Mika's princess carry.
Â
"Ahaha... We came by helicopter, but I don't know how she fell asleep..."
Â
"... She fell asleep in the helicopter?"
Â
Falling asleep in a helicopter? Is that a unique talent?
Â
While thinking that, it was decided to send the sleeping Seia back to her room.
Â
"Hmm... I wonder what kind of dream she's having?"
