Kapitel 1520: Acceptance

Using the window of opportunity provided by Juri’s temporary absence, Setsuna-nee continued to remain beside me.

Taking another glance at her, I found her tilting her head up with her eyes closed. She’s contemplating about something. And obviously, it concerned the issue she has with me.

Well, not counting how she hugged me earlier, it’s already a progress that she didn’t appear restless sitting next to me. For what it’s worth, her problem with men in general was probably not that worse compared to Edel. She could still socialize with them as long as they wouldn’t show any hint that they were interested in getting closer to her.

She’s not like Eguchi-sensei as well who had her bad encounter one time and attended an all-girls school until college. Setsuna-nee had her fair share of interaction with the opposite gender just that... she kept a high wall that no one could climb. And even if one dared to, she would shoot them down from the top of that wall.
