Chapter 336: Arc 5, - 30: Adventurer’s Life
"Hotaru."
Hotaru let go of the railing and looked behind her.
The blonde had poked her head out the purple-painted door, "Seriously, are you okay?"
Her crimson ears pricked, "I’m fine. Go, work on figuring out the case," she turned away and flapped her hand.
Jotou’s brows knitted... ’Yeah, I’m sure you’re absolutely fine...’ Doubt arrived at her face in a pout. "Alright," she uttered with a sigh, "Enjoy your tea," she shut the room door.
The redhead’s wolf-like ears waited... till she knew Jotou was nowhere near the door. She let out a noisy sigh and held her forehead; her palm lowered till her fingers rubbed her eyes.
...Her breath was going out of whack again. Were the walls spinning or was it just her...? "Ngrh..." she gave her head a sharp shake. With an arm on the railing, she walked to the edge of the stairs—lightheaded.
"Ho-ta-ru~ Hm? What’s wrong?"
It took Hotaru a second to register the voice behind her, "Asobi. Right, your room’s here," she spun around and faked a fanged smile.
"Mhm! But you already know that part," Asobi had her hat taken off, her raven-black hair brushed along her shoulders atop her black blazer—she tilted her head, "You, don’t look so good..."
The wolf-girl hid her slightly shaky hand behind her back and gave a mock pout to the elf, "That’s a rude thing to say. I know we’re all a little tired, but my morning routine hasn’t changed."
Asobi raised her hands and waved them with an awkward laugh, "Sorry! You look as pretty as ever, but that’s not what I meant... uhm... uhhh-would you like to see my room? You haven’t seen it yet, right?" her teeth all shined.
