The Story of Demon Hunter

209

“What kind of explanation do you want?”

Satoru put a wry smile on his face. Taking a few steps back, he raised both of his hands and continued.

“I don't think there's anything to explain, right? I mean ... This is just a minor misunderstanding. Not so important at all.”

“See my face then say it one more time!”

Natsumi said with a hateful expression. Because of that young man, he could not sleep well at all. Not only did her appearance appear to be deteriorating, but the girl also felt that her body was tired and also sleepy.

Looking at the panda eyes, lethargic face, and the gloomy expression of Natsumi made Satoru feel somewhat embarrassed. He was really confused what to say. As for saying frankly ..the young man felt somewhat embarrassed.

“WHAT? Are you really not going to say anything?” natsumi said as she gritted her teeth.

Seeing the hateful expression on Natsumi's face, Satoru knew he would be in trouble if he didn't say anything.

The young man was silent for a moment. After a while, he turned his head in the other direction while holding the back of his neck. Having a somewhat awkward expression, the young man muttered in a voice that could barely be heard.

“I feel a bit uncomfortable with our closeness.”

Natsumi who did not hear clearly raised her eyebrows with a dissatisfied expression.

“Say clearly!” firmly the girl.

“I feel uncomfortable with our closeness.”

“...”

Hearing Satoru's words, Natsumi was instantly stunned in place. He had absolutely no idea that the young man would say such words to him. At that moment his anger disappeared, immediately replaced with disappointment and sadness.

Satoru became somewhat panicked when he saw the obvious change in Natsumi's expression. Feeling somewhat dizzy and confused, he immediately explained.

“I started thinking about it when I received the package from home. At first I wanted to ask for your e-mail address or mobile number, but suddenly it occurred to me that we were a bit overdone.

I don't know if it's because you're a bit tomboyish or the girls in this place are a bit open. It's just, I feel that male and female relationships can't be like this. I mean ... too close without having any relationship.”

“You don't like it because I look a bit tomboyish?”

“Not.” Satoru shook his head.

“Then you are not satisfied because I am a country girl and feel I am low?”

“I said no to that!” satoru firmly with a somewhat depressed expression.

“Then why?!”

“I told you, we shouldn't be like this!

Even if we are only a dozen years old, we are no longer children. I think we better keep our distance.”

“...”

Seeing that Natsumi was silent, Satoru became even more depressed. At first he felt that their relationship was fine because it did not do things that were out of bounds. However, the longer the young man felt that they should not be too close because they did not have a special relationship.

Not only would it bring trouble upon itself, Satoru felt it was not good for a girl to be too close to the young man either with or without a clear relationship.

“I don't know if the local people are indeed so close to each other. It's just, I'm not used to this kind of thing. You are a friendly, cheerful, and kind girl.

I feel like you've been teasing me a lot since our first meeting. Maybe I'm a little sensitive or something, but I guess if you're just flirting with a new underclassman you find plain or interesting ..”

“Do you think I'm close to all men and like to tease someone? Kind of shameless girl who likes to mess with feelings?”

Natsumi did not consider Satoru to be a small child or an ordinary underclassman. He became more interested in the young man when he started to get to know him.

Maybe at first a little curious because of his looks and identity as a young man who came from the city. However, that was not what made Natsumi become more interested and comfortable around her.

His indifferent attitude, but also good. So intelligent that it is easy to learn something, but so insensitive and blunt. The young man was like a box full of mysteries that made him feel curious and without feeling made it difficult to get away.

‘Maybe for him I'm just a naughty senior who likes to tease, even ruin his reputation.’

Thinking that, Natsumi wiped her tears and forced a smile on her face. He knew he couldn't be like this. Moreover, soon people will come. So it is better not to make an action that makes them misunderstand.

Satoru himself was shocked when he saw Natsumi's tears. With both hands clenched, he slightly lowered his head while explaining.

“Not because I think like that. I feel you are a beautiful, friendly, and kind girl. So, I don't want misunderstandings and obscurity.”

“What do you mean?” asked Natsumi with a puzzled expression.

Looking at the girl who was usually cheerful but turned out to be a bit foolish it made Satoru sigh then shake his head. Taking a deep breath, the young man then forced himself to smile.

“Nothing.” Satoru shook his head. “If there are no other problems, I will go to carry out the task.”

After saying that, Satoru immediately walked away. It completely left the girl who had just cried alone. Standing in his place with a stunned expression.

***

Her night.

After a tiring day where she could not focus, Natsumi immediately returned to her room after dinner. The girl lay on the bed with a dazed expression. There was a feeling of anger, disappointment, and confusion with the attitude Satoru showed him.

“Are you okay, Natsumi?” asked one of his friends with a worried expression.

“Yes! You are obviously out of focus for these two days!” add one of his friends.

“Is it because of a junior from the city? Didn't I tell you that the people from the city are no good?”

Just then, a cold and indifferent sounding girl voice entered the ears of the three girls. Natsumi glanced towards the study table. There, looked the figure of a beautiful girl with hair braided in two. He wore glasses and loose clothing, but could not at all hinder his charm.

“What do you mean, Hotaru?” asked Natsumi with a flat expression.

“Young people from the city are like that. They're all rotten. I like to approach beautiful girls and try to benefit from them. After that they will leave him and look for another girl.

Moreover, the girls from the countryside were very innocent and easily duped. So I suggest to forget about the young man from such a city.”

“You're wrong Hotaru! Satoru-kun is not that kind of person. Moreover, he never used me at all!” natsumi.

“Then why are you sad and dazed? Appeared?” reply Hotaru with a flat tone.

Hearing Hotaru's frank remark, the other two girls couldn't help but breathe a deep breath. They did not expect that the two friends would argue because of a man.

“Yes! He told us to keep our distance so that there would be no misunderstandings that made the rumors wrong. He said that it was not good for us, especially since we both did not have a clear relationship.”

Hearing that, the other three people were stunned. They stared at Natsumi as if they were looking at a stupid girl. They even complained in their hearts.

‘Doesn't that mean he wants to confirm your relationship? Want to go further?’

‘You said Satoru-kun is insensitive? You are not the same!’
