章節 2083: Opening up

With the atmosphere starting a little light and humorous thanks to the eventful lunch, I finally got to hear the two seniors’ genuine laughter albeit only for a few seconds. Furthermore, Yuika-senpai who was acting meek and somewhat afraid to meet my gaze finally managed to hold eye contact with me for more than five seconds. It flustered her though.

Minori-senpai raised her eyebrows at that but seeing that it was not intentional, she let it pass.

One thing I was truly glad to see was that… the hostility they had for me was gone. Maybe only a little wariness remained. Although it might just be set aside for now, it made me feel that my efforts in talking to them were bearing fruit.

I still couldn’t forget Minori-senpai’s sacrificial attitude telling me to start with her. Although I never planned on doing that, their impression of me started on the wrong foot. It might be their prejudice but I guess it has to do with their experiences as well.
