บท 1760: Jumping into the Fire

As I expected, introducing Hanabi didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped. It raised a lot of questions but not from Satsuki or Eguchi-sensei. Instead, it was Kawakami-senpai who seemed keen on finding out who the girl was to me.

Moreover, because her mind was still in disorder with what I presented, the normally sassy goofball could only curl up into a ball as she took refuge at my side. Satsuki also didn’t help. I mean, she’s just as surprised as them. I did message her about the goofball but she failed to read it. It escaped my head that her phone was left behind in this waiting room.

Thanks to that, I was faced with Kawakami-senpai’s doubtful gaze. And when she found the opportunity, she asked Satsuki for permission to borrow my time again.

And that’s the current situation.

With my back against the wall, Kawakami-senpai got me pinned by her intense gaze as she waited for me to clarify Hanabi’s identity.
