Following that little punishment – or reward – from the two girls, I informed Shizu what I came there for and left the room with Satsuki. Although it didn’t show on her face, Shizu was clearly not happy hearing that I would be late again.
Perhaps noticing that as well, Satsuki returned to her and whispered something before we left.
Whatever it was that she told Shizu, it made the girl burst into sweet laughter while stealing glances at me. I was surely confused about what could make her laugh like that so I tried asking Satsuki. However, my inquiry was only met with a simple, ‘Hmph’ before the two girls shook their hands as if they had just reached an agreement.
“Don’t look at me, I also won’t tell you. Just come back soon. I’ll tell them that I sent you to observe the Basketball Club.” With a gesture as though she was shooing me away, Shizu sent us off while smirking.

On our way out of the Club Building, we ran into Watanabe.
