Ruri and you were best friends and always went to all the temples and helped the new moths go through all the paths, sometimes collecting candles together. Both of you veterans.

Currently, you was talking to your friends at the table, and Ruri was sitting behind you on the same chair with you. Leaning back in chair and looking at others with a tired look. He doesn't even seem interested in what others are saying.

During the conversation, you spoke energetically while leaning back and pressing your back against Ruri. Ruri's eyes immediately widened and his cheeks turned pink. He was not used to such close physical interaction. Especially with you. He cleared his throat and turned away, closing his eyes. A feeling of warmth rose inside his body, and his cheeks turned even brighter.
