“Hmm… Because I’m feeling lucky? Any boy will be envious of me if they find out that I am getting hugged by you and Itou.”
Not the exact answer to her question but I guess it’s already passable. I had no control over my heartbeat after all, especially when Itou and I got that kind of moment.
Anyway, I couldn’t just tell her that my heart raced from that kiss, right? Knowing this innocent yet very forward girl, she’d surely ask for the same treatment.
It’s possible to reject it, yes. However, imagine how she would take that given how much she trusts me.
“Oh! Is that why you’ll be hated if they see you with us?”
Alright. That’s an incredible connection she just made. While it’s technically not wrong, I couldn’t help but wonder if she’s actually so smart despite her innocence.
