Reincarnated Into A Dead Woman's Body In Another World

Hotaru set a glass of water at the counter, in front of Jotou. They shared a glance, "Drink it."

Jotou breathed, taking a sip. She looked up, "What's that?" Jotou pointed to the ceiling. A little latch dangled above as she set the water aside.

"Probably goes up to the roof but Jotou," Hotaru brought the blonde's attention back to her, "Are you okay?"

Jotou squinted, "I, I'm fine, what d'you mean?"

"Jotou... please. You helped me—many times. It's my turn to return the favour."

"No need to return whatever. I did that because, because, you're... a friend," Jotou gazed away. 'I... oh no... Do I have a crush...? Please don't tell me I have a crush, ugh...'

"You got angry... but it looked like the angrier you got, the more powerful your spell became... Was that how you defeated that giant velatos? You were... angry? For me?" Hotaru questioned.

'Was it anger?' "I'm not sure actually. But I wasn't angry just now; just, frustrated."

Hotaru's eyes shrank at the statement, "Fine. Just know I'm here to talk to, okay?"

Jotou sighed, "...I'll remember that," she sipped more water. 'If I tell her about my pathetic excuse for a life, I might end up getting her depressed. Besides, she's been through way worse than me.'

"That's all you called me here for? To cool off?"
