"But I'm fine, just..." she said, glancing at Fujiwara Reya, biting her lip and lowering her eyes, "I don't know, whatever."
The conversation ended, and she stood up intending to go back indoors.
"Wait." Fujiwara Reya called out, "I haven't finished talking yet."
Yukino Ritsuko halted her steps and sat back down.
"The feelings of the Snow Woman are the same as yours, right?" Fujiwara Reya followed his planned approach step by step.
"Uh, yes, yes..." Yukino Ritsuko's face turned bright red, and her body swayed, "So, uh, please, please don't touch..."
"So to speak, have I been touching your feet without contact for over a year?"
"..."
Yukino Ritsuko was so embarrassed she wished she could melt into a puddle of ice water on the spot.
"So what do you plan to do?" she asked in a voice so low it was almost inaudible.
"Can't just hover in midair like a dragonfly in love, right?" Fujiwara Reya's voice grew more sly.
"Um..."
In love?
What love?
When did I start a relationship?
