บท 1079: Concern

Seconds passed without Ishida-senpai coming up with an answer. It’s either she didn’t really have any reason or the reason was something she found hard to tell me at this moment.

We didn’t have that much time. Even if that Kenji was only standing before the door, he’d soon lose his patience. And surely, I didn’t want her to be put in a situation where that guy would put her to question.

That’s why half a minute later, I raised her head and stared directly into her eyes to get the answer to it.

“T-that…” Ishida-senpai quickly averted her gaze, afraid to prolong eye contact with me. But because of that, I understood… This girl didn’t have any excuse to call me out here. She’s just trying her luck…

Or that’s how I interpreted it at this moment. It didn’t matter anyway. It just so happened that I read her message when I was about to go home. And seeing that I had time to spare, I went here to see her.
