Kapitel 1845: A Risky Situation

It took a minute before Sara could reply to me and possibly at this point, she already realized that I became a cushion for her fall. She awkwardly lifted her head and nodded before attempting to get up right away.

However, she found herself being unable to and ended up pressing down on me again.

“...I-I’m sorry, Onoda-kun. This isn’t intentional. My leg felt numb.”

Sara was quick to explain herself there as her body continued to shake. Either she’s uncomfortable with our sudden closeness or she’s afraid that I would take this the wrong way.

To calm her down, I gently placed a hand on top of her head. “It’s fine. You should relax first, Sara-san. You’re not heavy anyway. I should be the one apologizing for touching you without your permission.”

“T-that... Don’t say that. I’ll feel bad. I was the clumsy one who tripped over nothing. Ugh...” With her face turning crimson from embarrassment, Sara hurriedly shook her head. Her eyes then moved up to see my extended arm.
