Bab 1385: Sneak out

Not long after Kanno-sensei left, she returned empty-handed. Apparently, that student ran away even before she could approach her.

Too bad. But it’s not like I’m that invested in knowing her. Even if she’s someone from my past, she’s probably not someone I stole or just an acquaintance. Otherwise, I would’ve at least remembered a memory about her, even if it was just a fraction of a moment.

For her to show up there at that exact moment must’ve been a coincidence.

“Why didn’t you chase after her? We cannot tolerate truancy.”

While I was lost in that thought, the principal spoke, a hint of displeasure in his voice. Most likely, he’s trying to keep up appearances or he’s just being cautious about not letting that small incident be reported by Eguchi-sensei.

“I apologize. It’s not within my ability to chase after a quick-feet like her. On the other hand, I do recognize that she’s a second-year student.”
