บท 1832: Second Task

Thanks to the eventual arrival of Sawano and the rest of our class, Shiina’s attention didn’t linger on me long enough to recognize me by face.

Still, she did pause and creased her brows when I thanked her for the towel though. Most likely, she found my voice familiar yet she couldn’t match my image to what was registered in her memory bank. Or at least, she didn’t have that much time to think about it yet. The moment she learned my name, that familiarity would definitely click.

Back when Miwa-nee, Minoru, and I met them, it was before sunrise so that’s probably helping my case here. Some lamps placed on the path guided the hikers in the dark and hikers brought flashlights to see clearly.

Sara would possibly fail to recognize me at all since she fell unconscious halfway through being carried by me and that useless boyfriend of hers was even supposed to be from a different college. What was he doing here? Why did she not break up with him yet?
