Shirakawa Sawahei stepped out of the dessert shop and returned Hayakawa Kashi's call. The phone rang once before the girl on the other end answered.
Shirakawa Sawahei breathed a sigh of relief quietly. This didn't escape the Little Arrogant's attention, who let out a curious "Huh?" and said with interest.
"Shirakawa, you seem a little relieved?"
"Relieved about what?"
"Relieved that I didn't ignore your call."
He responded honestly with a "Hmm," and said, "Although I guessed that Hayakawa wouldn't believe such an immature scam, I still felt a bit tense when making the call."
"Is this what nerves feel like? It looks like I occupy at least a bit of space in your heart."
Shirakawa Sawahei pursed his lips, didn't respond to Hayakawa Kashi's teasing, and instead countered, "Since you don't believe it, why did you still hang up the phone?"
