Chapter 103 : Defending her position

"Haa… haa…" 

My eyes squinted at Halley while she panted hard. No, she practically had difficulty in breathing. I didn't even choke her and only put my hand around her neck, so why did she appear to suffer so much?

'Do I look that scary?'

Before I had a chance to speak more, I felt someone shoving me hard to the side. "Get away from her, you monster!"

I was unprepared for that attack, so I helplessly flung aside as the girls following Halley crowded over her in a protective stance. They fiercely glared at me, but one could easily see they were only putting on a brave front and shaking like a leaf. 

This scene should be touching only if the girl they protected was the victim and not the offender. However, witnessing how they willingly put their body at stake for her was proof that despite Halley's nastiness, some people were willing to fight for her. In a way, perhaps I might look like the villain here by the way I threatened her.
