Chapter 172: A Tussle

As I walked out of the room, I heard footsteps coming after me. I turned around, seeing September behind me, as she looked at me with worry in her eyes. I smiled at her and then walked over to her.

"Is everything okay?" she asked softly. "You seem really worried."

"Yeah…" I replied softly as I looked into her eyes. September looked at me, embarrassment all over her face, as she blushed a bit before she spoke up.

"I'm sorry," she said, "I didn't mean to get you all worried about me."

"I'm not worried about you," I said with a laugh, "but about all of us."

"And uh…about um…Masaru," she said, tingling her fingers, as if she wanted to touch him but couldn't bring herself to do it.

"What about him?" I asked her with a concerned expression on my face.

"Well, what we just did," she said as her blush deepened, "I just wanted you to know that I don't regret it."
