They are here

With that question hanging in the air, all eyes began to gather on me.

It was directed to me. I could keep my silence but all these people waiting and to mess with this guy trying to pull me down, I briefly scanned my gaze around me.

Sakuma promptly closed his mouth shut. Perhaps, afraid that he would blurt out my relationship with Satsuki if the focus turned to him. We did ask him to keep it a secret after all. And with this guy moving on and focusing on Satsuki’s sister, he’s probably thinking that if he behaved well, Satsuki would say good things about him to her sister.

Tadano also reacted by shifting his gaze between me and Nami who was having a straight face as she waited for my answer.

Well, not only her, although they were expecting me to say their names, they’re aware that I wouldn’t be able to do that or else it would be hard for the others to approach me because rumors would continue to pop out.
