Ixy was looking at Hideki with a still expressionless face, then replied, "I don't want to go to your house. I just want to take a walk."
Hearing her reply, Hideki's face immediately turned red. He blushed, but not because he liked her, but he was embarrassed because he had accused Ixy of wanting to stay at his house.
"Gosh, I'm sorry. Alright, alright," Hideki said softly this time, and he started walking again on his way home.
Along the way, Ixy and Hideki did not speak at all. That girl even seemed to be walking behind him with leisure, until Hideki looked annoyed, then he stopped again and looked back at Ixy.
He then said, with a red face, "You... Don't walk behind me, Ixy! People will think that you are following me! Walk beside me!"
