I leaned back in my chair, smirking at Mutsumi-senpai's playfulness. "I suppose it is. Still, I can’t help but feel like there’s more to this than you're letting on. How much did my mother tell you about me, senpai?"
Mutsumi’s smile faltered slightly, but only for a moment. "Oh, we had quite the chat. She didn’t hold back much. I know more than enough now... But don’t worry, Ruki. It only made me want you more."
She didn’t hold back, huh? Did my mother tell her the extent of my complicated relationships? Or was it just the positives? Knowing my mother, she’d definitely lean toward that.
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued but also cautious as I playfully warned her, "That sounds dangerous, Senpai."
She shouldn’t get burned with me when she could easily jump away, right? But then again, I can't deny that I’m also looking forward to meeting her again.
