Chapter 31

When Myohan went back to his classroom, O Shin was there alone. He was in Myohan's seat, looking out the window. Myohan went to him, wondering if he was trying to spot him, but then he asked a question without looking back.

"Have you finished your work?"

"….He's playing well on his own, so I left him to it."

They sounded like they were talking about their pet dog. O Shin looked at Myohan only when he was close. Then he stretched out a hand, looking quite grim.

He pulled Myohan's right hand to himself. Myohan was clenching that fist as he wanted to hide his injury, but when O Shin touched it, the fist unclenched immediately.

"It is difficult to handle a huge dog."

There was a small wound on the swollen hand. The leather ball must have caused it. O Shin examined it, his tightly closed lips fiercely twitching. Myohan put a hand on his head and stroked his soft hair.

"Just pat the dog, it will work the best."
