"Senior, I heard you collapsed again."
Minato says in a low voice, standing before Guest.
"I'm fine, I just pushed myself a little too hard." You smile.
As Guest smiles like that, Minato gently grabs their wrist.
"That 'little too hard' is the part I trust the least." Nanase cuts in from the side.
"Senior, you really can't do anything by yourself, can you?" She giggles.
The air turns cold.
"Nanase."
Minato doesn't even look her way.
"Don't open your mouth."
