บท 188: Chapter 188: Worrisome Thoughts and Resolute Actions

"You had the option to refuse this quest," uttered Seijurou stoically as he and Satsuki turned a corner on their way to school, but he was the only one in uniform, and she was not. "You and I both know you have good reason not to jump into action again, Satsuki."

Strolling through the streets leading to FSG carefreely in full armor, the redheaded Heiress smirked sheepishly at her partner as she teased him. "Eh? I don't think I know what you're talking about, Seijurou-kun."

Seijurou already had a lot of things in his mind, including the whole ruckus surrounding Himiko's abduction, which he deeply feels that he was responsible for, so he truly did not have the time to play around.

However, even if he was greatly troubled by the circumstances, Satsuki's playful antics did not aggravate the immense amount of stress he was holding in. Instead, he found himself calming down to avoid an angry fit.
