Chapitre 77: Drowning in her Guilt

She took a deep breath and said, "Listen. I don't know why you're so adamant about this… but I'm really fine. As usual. Look at me." She pointed towards her face, and moved it from left to right.

"Is that so? Then why did you cancel the group study?" I nodded as she said that, but replied with my own question again.

"Ugh! I told you I'm not in the mood." She sighed.

"You're not in the mood or you don't want to be with Kizhashi-san and Gaisen?" I looked into her eyes and she averted her eyes again. She could afford to make eye contact with me, that means she is in a state of conflict with herself right now. She can't validate herself.

"Wh...What do you mean?" She asked. Now that I have piqued her interest, I'm in control of this situation.

"I'll tell you, let's go for a walk." I pointed towards the door with my eyes. She looked outside the door and then back at me. After giving it thought for a few minutes, she nodded with a sigh.
