Bab 1130: Convincing her

The phrase ‘five minutes’ was obviously a trap. It was commonly used to stall for time. Once a person presented with it agreed, more often than not, it would not be honored unless he or she forcefully enforced it. And that’s even rarer than not agreeing to give those five minutes.

And so… Here I am, inside a girl’s room that I only met today as well as someone whose voice I hadn’t heard yet.

Given that my appearance made both mother and daughter react positively earlier, I thought that the same would happen when I had her face me. That’s why I did that instead of just calling out to her.

However, the girl, even after getting a glance at my face, remained unmoved. She only stared at me with a blank expression which gradually transformed into a frown.
