Chapter 111

"Sez."
Rayton called out to Sez once more since she didn’t answer, and his face became timid as he saw Sez’s face. On top of her pale face, she looked as if she were about to cry, eyes full of tears and lips closed tightly. Sez hurriedly looked away as their eyes met.
"I'm sorry… I didn't know you were here."
"……."
"I was lost in thought…!”
Sez’s words were cut off as Rayton suddenly bent down and looked up at her face.
“'What's wrong?”
“N-Nothing.”
"You were about to cry.”
"I wasn’t. I just couldn't sleep well last night, so...”
“You’re lying."
What a ridiculous excuse it was when she clearly looked like she was about to cry. At that moment, Rayton reflexively tried to reach for her cheek. Sez flinched and jerked her head back.
"……"
Rayton's expression quickly turned surprisingly timid.
