Chapter 1718: A Disappointment

I tried figuring out what was going on in her head but without proper information, it was difficult.

“Senpai, isn’t that what I’m doing already? Protecting Marika. Something you and her followers cannot even provide. Tell me, is restricting her movements fun for her?” I started as I looked down at her. I could hear the shuffling of footsteps behind me. Most likely those were the other followers. But seeing Tanaka already engaging me, they maintained their distance.

Well, if they meddled at all, I would have more excuse to simply walk away.

“No. I get what you’re saying. We, her followers, aren’t doing a good job at that. We’re a nuisance who’s only keeping her in check, locking her up in our circle.”
