Bab 93: Repressed Memory

Once Hajime reached Aoi Umi Dormitory, he started asking around where Akamine-sensei was.

"She's by the dining room with all the other teachers."

Thanking his classmate, Hajime headed straight to the dining room. He totally forgot that the teachers were having a brief meeting at the moment and that he shouldn't disturb them. There were no doors by the dining area so by the time he stepped foot in there, it was already too late. All the teachers had already seen him.

Fortunately, Akamine-sensei was quick to act and she immediately stood up, excused herself from the other teachers, and then went toward Hajime as if everything was pre-planned. On the other hand, Hajime saw it as his cue to bow to the teachers and excuse himself. Everything went natural and smoothly and all the teachers even began doubting whether Hajime was a delinquent or not. He even spoke in a hushed tone so as to not disturb the meeting even though he accidentally interrupted it.
