Terrible Friend
Five seconds is a short time.
Even before I could step forward to explain the situation to Saki. The silent guy’s hurried footsteps stopped right before the door we entered from.
The volume of the footsteps was at the level of silence, considering it’s that guy. However, being near it, I clearly heard it along with his rather rough breathing. Possibly because of his sudden burst.
If a prefect from the Disciplinary Council was around, getting a warning not to run in the hallways was the least he could get. Luckily for him, there’s none. In fact, that kind of council was nonexistent. Everything was handed over to the Student Council.
But being too short-staffed, I doubt they could also have that kind of function.
Well, that’s not the issue right now.
The girl I pushed inside was already out of her daze. She tilted her head slightly before looking down at the shadow spilling beneath the door.
“Ruki.” With a questioning gaze, Saki only called out to my name.
