Her Reasoning

“I gotta ask you something. What’s the deal with Juri holding your hand earlier, Onoda-kun? You two look like you’re in your own world back there.”

That’s the first question Setsuna-nee threw at me upon pulling me away from Juri. Well, not exactly pulled away like I got snatched by her but… the woman asked Juri if she could talk to me in private.

Yeah. She asked Juri instead of me. But well, there’s no point nitpicking on it anymore. I’d still say yes if she asked me anyway. Rather than give her a reason to doubt me or us, it’s a lot better to just be upfront with her and satisfy whatever curiosity she picked up.

At the moment, we had already left the fast-food establishment and were on our way to the bus station that would send us to the Hinatsu Lake Camp.

Given that it’s in the same direction as their dorm.
