Chương 1628: What to do now? (1)

For the next minute or two, none of us talked. Only the sound of our breathing and the noises coming from all around us filled our ears.

It was spent in awkward silence with no one knowing what to say.

Eguchi-sensei sat a bit of a distance from us while Satsuki, who was already truly exhausted, only had half-opened eyes. She surely understood what happened but she already lacked the energy to be upset about it. Maybe I’d hear it from her later. But for now, she’s trying to find more comfort in my embrace than anything else.

She’s on the verge of losing consciousness.

Perhaps to get us out of that situation, Eguchi-sensei sprang up to her feet and suggested something.

“Onoda-kun, can you support Maemura-chan? Follow me to my car.”

I nodded to that and she returned a smile, albeit a very awkward one.
