Lira’s gotten her handkerchief out first. Standing on tiptoe, she presses it to his forehead, smiling at him as if she’s proud of herself. This time, Walt really is left speechless.

Somebody overhead finally shouts down an apology, but Walt finds himself unable to respond.

Although his partner should be busy with his other job, scandalously, the man is lying face-down on a couch in the corner of their master’s office. Kyle, who came to the office to retrieve something Claude has forgotten, frowns at him.

Is he slacking off?

He walks deliberately over to the couch, making sure his footsteps are audible, then frowns for a different reason.

“…What’s the matter?”

Walt has flung his arms and legs out across the couch, and they lie there limp, as if he has no energy left in his body. “Kill me, please…”

What’s more, his response makes no sense. At the very least, it’s clear that he isn’t just slacking, so Kyle folds his arms and rephrases his question. “What is it? What’s the matter? Did you mess up somehow?”

“…Listen. You said you met a fairy, right?”

Kyle blinks. Then he nods, flushing slightly. “Yes. It was in a garden on a moonlit night. Come to think of it, she may have been a fairy of sweets…”

“Nobody cares. What I want to know is exactly when you thought that. At what point.”

“Right from the start.”

“I’m asking you what made you fall for her!”

“Wha—? M-my feelings are nothing that impure!” The way Walt puts it is so commonplace that it leaves Kyle at a loss for words.

However, as if in response to the heat in Kyle’s cheeks, Walt’s gaze gets colder and colder. “After you spouted all that moony nonsense? Don’t mess with me.”

“Who’s messing with who?! I don’t see her that way; I just want her to have all the happiness in the world.”

“Argh, you should get over those sorts of dreams and fantasies when you’re in your teens, idiot! Come on, there must have been something. The moment you mistook her for a fairy.”

“I didn’t mistake her for—”

“Shut up! I’m seriously irritated right—now!”

Even though Walt was limp and listless just a moment ago, he gets behind Kyle in a weirdly agile motion, loops an arm around his neck, and starts to choke him.

“Hey! Wha—? Are you serious…?!”

“Forget that, just answer my question! What was it that clinched it for you?!”

“What clinched it…for me? There was, nothing, like…”

Right from the start, she was… Kyle thinks about it, but in between his increasingly rapid breaths, he suddenly remembers. “—I, got, hurt.”

Walt’s arm eases up. Kyle keeps going, remembering as he speaks. “I cut my hand on some glass. It was just a scratch, so it healed up in no time, but… She saw it happen. And she wasn’t repulsed. Even so, she said it would be better to treat it…and she wrapped that handkerchief around it…”

A soft warmth spreads throughout his chest, and Walt sinks back, collapsing onto the couch. “I see… Yeah, I get it… Ha-ha-ha. That makes sense… We’re weak to that sort of thing.
