Nami supported Mami for a little bit longer and their conversation continued. In consideration of her junior, I stepped away further to make the girl feel comfortable. Nami would tell me about it later anyway.
After a while, the two girls finished their conversation. Still guiding, Mami, Nami returned to my side. I could still sense Mami’s wariness so I didn’t say anything but Nami opened up a topic. Something she wanted me to hear.
“Are you sure you’re fine going back? Why don’t you sit with us? There are still empty seats we can give to you and Nina-chan.”
As always, my girl cared a lot for those she was close with. And this time, it’s now even influenced the consideration she picked up from me. She even winked at me as though she was trying to rate how she was doing. I could only smile furtively so as not to make Mami uncomfortable.
In any case, even though she looked like she was close to bawling her eyes out, Mami’s eyes glinted with determination.
