Chapter 13: Prom (3)
"It wasn't too bad, though."
After Adilun finished dancing, she looked at me and said as if she was mocking me.
Someone might find her sudden snapping attitude strange, but I could understand that she was happy
It was clear that she had successfully completed the dance and the reactions around her had changed accordingly. Now all of a sudden talking to me in a rather ticklish or mocking tone would mean that she was back to normal.
A smile came to my face, and I told her.
"I'm glad."
"Yes? What?"
"The way you look at me and talk to me now, it's like the way you usually treat me. And It seems that the trembling of your hands has also stopped."
"...ah..."
Perhaps she too belatedly realized that fact, and a smile spread across her lips for an instant. But that smile disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she talked to me like nothing happened.
It must be because she doesn't want to show me her happy face.
I laugh internally
