章節 2165: You can count on me

Initially, I had every intention of following Hayashi-sensei's instructions to leave her office after I finished massaging her hand. My thoughts had already drifted toward Orimura-sensei and our impending trip to the clubhouse. There was no real reason for me to linger any longer here, or so I thought.

However, when I heard Hayashi-sensei murmuring something, I remembered what I was missing.

But just as my hand reached for the doorknob, I caught the faint sound of Hayashi-sensei murmuring something under her breath. It wasn’t loud enough to make out the words, but it stirred something in me… I forgot I also want to hear her answers to some of my questions.

I halted in place and slowly turned back around, my eyes narrowing with a curious intensity as they locked onto her.
