"I see.
So they told you."

Natsume mumbled out.

"Yes.
They realised it was a mistake after all.
It's thanks to you, Natsume-kun.
And also that cat.."

She gave a soft smile.

"I'm glad then.
But are you sure you're okay?"

Natsume replied.

She blushed lightly,
and she nodded.

"I'm sorry for making you all worried.
I'm fine now so.."

"That's good.
But were you okay with your past?"

Her movement stopped,
she gave a forced smile.

"I am.."

Natsume, Taki and Tanuma frowned.
They know that smile too well.

"You should rest up more."

Tanuma then advised.

"You should."

Taki supported Tanuma.

"I'm really fine,
I'm sorry for making you worry."

She gave a smile.

"You don't have to lie to us."

Natsume voiced out.

"I don't know what kind of childhood you have,
but if it's that bad that it had to be sealed
it must've been bad."

He softly told.
Tanuma and Taki nodded too.

She bit her lower lip
but still smiled.

"I'm really okay."

She insists.

"It's nothing much."

She mumble out.

"Kou-chan and the others had also helped me."

She sincerely smiled.

"I'm fine already,"

Natsume nodded.

"Alright then.
If you say so."

She swallowed back the words.

'Natsume is nice.'

She quietly thought.

'Everyone is..'

She couldn't help but smile.

The bell rung, indicating recess is over.
They all went back to class
bidding byes.

"Natsume-kun..!"

She called out.

As she knew Natsume is paying attention to her
she contimued.

"I have something to tell you,
later after school."

She announced,
blushing.

"Okay."

He casually replied.

"I'll see you later then."

Natsume went to his class.

She couldn't help but to be happy.

'I just need to say it.
Yes, I can do it.'
