Anger

As soon as I finished saying that, I closed my eyes and waited. Waited for a hand to drop on my cheek.

With that kind of revelation, if that didn’t happen then... I would suspect that Arisa-senpai was truly blinded by her attraction towards me.

Well, that’s not an issue anymore as a few seconds later, I felt Arisa-senpai’s hold on me instantly loosened followed by a rather forceful push from her. And for the finishing touch, a sharp stinging pain landed on my cheek along with the crisp sound of a slap.

Even though I expected and prepared for this, that slap still hurts. It felt like she used all her strength on it.

In any case, I knew I deserved it so I took it without even a grimace on my face.

“How dare you?! Stay away from me! Stay away from Nanami!”

Following that hatred-filled voice from Arisa-senpai, I slightly nodded, released her in my embrace and took a few steps back. Giving her the distance that she needed.
