1923 Complaint

What I expected to be a thorough interrogation right off the bat was dashed. Instead, as soon as the Dean saw a glimpse of my figure when Shio brought me in, a warm and grateful smile was pasted on her lips. It’s like she’s already thanking me for what I did even before questioning the validity of the story.

If the praise and gratitude she showed me for ‘helping’ Shiina earlier could already be considered huge, this time, it was more than that.

How to explain it? Let’s just say she already believed that I acted on behalf of the girls’ well-being rather than my own impulsiveness. The result where I ended up using violence was given less importance. Because in her eyes, if I didn’t do that, something worse could’ve happened.

“Onoda-kun, isn’t it? Come here and sit down.” With the same smile remaining on her lips, she urged me to sit down at the seat opposite hers.
