Kusanagi Hikotou was completely at a loss.
And maybe because of the inexplicable pressure the other guy gave off, his words carried a weird amount of persuasion—
So by the time Hikotou snapped out of it, he realized he'd already stuck his hand out like an idiot and, on reflex, taken that Stone Tablet. His expression changed slightly at once. Feeling the heavy weight in his hands, worried out of his mind, he lowered his head to look at the Stone Tablet he was holding, and forced a smile.
"You're joking. What do you mean it 'originally belongs to me'? I don't have the slightest impression of this thing... and you don't even know me, right?"
He forced himself to calm down and tried to play it off with a laugh.
