Chương 1947: Scolded

By the time we reappeared from behind that tree, we found An-rin standing next to Kushii facing our direction. The former had her eyes narrowed while the latter couldn’t look straight at me. But instead of her awkwardness earlier, it’s more about being apologetic for not being able to send An-rin away.

I searched the vicinity and found no Hino, Ogawa, or Fukuda around.

Did they return to the professor or did they go and finish the task by themselves?

Well, there’s no way to answer that myself.

At my side, Hana and Chii tried to compose themselves by straightening their backs and raising their chin. However, with their legs being wobbly while walking alongside me, that alone was enough indication that they were still a little out of it. Furthermore, they’re still donning their lovely and satisfied grins with flushed cheeks.

I did let us rest for a while there, but it’s surely insufficient to fully bring them back to normal like nothing happened.
