Capítulo 2166: Clubhouse Inspection?

As I expected, Orimura-sensei flared up immediately from my question, her face turning a shade darker.

“Happy?! How can I be happy about that?!” she exclaimed, her voice rising slightly. She pressed her lips together in frustration before letting out a groan. “Ugh… Is this some brilliant idea of Hayashi-sensei?”

“Mhm… It’s only a suggestion though. You can refuse if you don’t like it,” I replied with a nod, still keeping my calm tone. “If it’s too much trouble, maybe I can ask Ryouko-san to take over instead. She’ll probably accept it in a heartbeat.”

Yep. That was a lie that I conveniently made up. Hayashi-sensei didn’t say anything regarding a possible refusal from her. By mentioning Ryouko-san, Orimura-sensei would definitely be agitated.

And sure enough, the moment the last sentence left my mouth, Orimura-sensei’s expression visibly hardened.

Her eyes inexplicably narrowed, and without missing a beat, she retorted with a firm, almost defiant declaration.
