Jun's face deeply reddened at my words,
but he turned away quickly in an attempt to hide it.

"What for?" He asked, his voice sounding a little nervous.

"Hehe, just for bringing us here." I smiled to show my gratitude.

His sincere wish had reached me,
and even though there were no magical birds or gods involved,
it was heard and conveyed properly.

"Hey," Jun started to say. "Don't make that face."

Eh? What face?
His words confused me.
Did I make a weird expression?
I tilted my head in thought.

My response seemed to have set off a switch in Jun's mind,

because he subsequently burst out in rage.

"You know what I mean! That genuinely happy and cute face...it's so...unfair..."

His voice seemed to shrink as he tried to finish his sentence.

This time, it was my turn to blush.

Did he just say my face was cute?

Kame and Shuu turned their attention to us.
