Mysterious Senior

As I thought, some of the students passing by couldn’t help but stop once they heard our exchange. Moreover, Eguchi-sensei focused solely on me as though she didn’t care about the reaction of those who heard her.

She then put a hand on her hips as her expression somewhat relaxed, there’s even a trace of worry in it. “As I thought, it’s like that, huh? Have you been affected by your speech yesterday?”

Ignoring the whispers coming from the students behind me, I replied, “Uhh… A little. Also, I had to do something important yesterday.”

Meeting my girls and spending time with them was certainly important… Although I could honor prior appointments that I made, there’s no going around it if I accidentally forgot.

“I see. Well, I won’t be petty. Don’t forget to come later. This concerns your new position, by the way.”

Thanks to that last sentence, the ones speculating about Eguchi-sensei’s words were finally relieved. And that took off the pressure on me as I continued on my way.
