[And that's the voice of experience talking.]
It's just that there's someone in the village now whom I would like to avoid as much as possible, or rather to have them not know that Keiichi Maebara is here as long as possible.

Perhaps there is something I could do to help?

[He scratches his head as he thinks, yes he's considering it but eventually shakes his head.]
Nothing comes to my mind, it's really not that important. But if it gets serious I'll let you know. Anyway I think you're quite capable of staying safe yourself, right?
Reply
[But he'll leave it at that. Keiichi doesn't seem to be in a divulging mood.]
And yes, thank you for your concern, but this lady has a few tricks up her sleeves. You needn't worry for me.
...
Although it's cute when you do.

Anyway it's just temporal, but as little as that time may be I need it. I promise I'll let you know as soon as that's settled.
[There's also the fact that a part of him doesn't want Takano to learn about his friends here, but it's not a risk high enough to warrant something dramatic from him.
He smiles as he hears him confirm that he has a few tricks up his sleeves.]
I'm glad to hear that. Still I can't help to worry, I don't want the people I appreciate to be hurt, much less because of something that should be just my own problem.
[The last comment earns a small blush.]W-Well, whatever. If you need help you know you can call me, right? I may not be ( ... )
Reply
[Or, really, he would, but he can't. Damn being good.]
But do know that your friends are there to be relied upon, hm? And I am certain you are plenty strong, Kei~ichi. If only you were a bit older, I wouldn't mind being protected by you.
Reply
I know, Grell-san.
But until I'm older enough to protect you, I suppose I'll have to content myself with fighting besides you if you need me and to avoid you little problems because of me, right?
Reply
I suppose. You truly are a unique child, Keiichi.
Reply
[What, it can be used as an insult too. Being unique doesn't have to be a good thing.]
Reply
And yes. I get ever so tired of the boring people.
Reply
[Don't like boring people, uhm?]
Then I'm glad that you find me interesting enough to not get tired of me yet. Though maybe I should take this as a hint and be more mysterious or something with you, wouldn't want you to get tired of me too quickly, right?
Reply
Nfu, if only you were older. Don't worry, Keiichi. I don't think I could ever grow tired of you.
Reply
Yeah, there are many things about which is no good to dwell on them until the proper time comes, if it ever does.
[You know, maybe if he counted the worlds they have been through he would be far older. Then again those don't really count given that he barely remembers them and those which he remembers are pretty vague.]
That's good, Grell-san. I really enjoy to hear about you and your company after all, and I prefer it when the other part thinks in similar terms regarding that.
Reply
Oh, you shan't be rid of me that easily. Not when there are so few here I actually like.
Reply
[Or maybe he does, but from Keiichi's point of view it's unlikely. He misses the creeper tone completely, but he talked with an experienced tone. Specially since Haruki told him how the dreams were actually real worlds he had gone through... It was as if his memory activated more with knowing that.
He chuckles at the last part.]
You sure know how to make a man feel special.
