You're selfish

“Sensei, good morning.”

As a response, I turned my head to greet Orimura-sensei while evidently ignoring her question. Moreover, I kept my hand on Eguchi-sensei, caressing her cheek with my thumb.

Was there a relevancy to doing it this way? Maybe. However, this decision was based on my own understanding of Orimura-sensei.

She’s already suspicious of us. Even if I tried to make an excuse, she wouldn’t believe it. So, why not try a different approach and openly face her moral high ground? Not to mention, it’s really a blunder on my part for forgetting that piece of information that Eguchi-sensei told me.

This was the best way to, at least, throw her off.

“Good morning??? Is that all you have to say?”

Yep. There was a need for that emphasis there. Orimura-sensei’s response was overtly coated with her incredulity. Although it was short of her pointing at me while looking royally pissed, her expression alone was more than enough to show how unacceptable it was.
