Influence

As someone who had nerves of steel to become a Student Council President despite her complex of being seen as a weak girl, it didn’t take long for Shizu to recollect herself and face my parents without stuttering again.

It was a surprise, true. And I received her silent reprisal for not telling her early through a pinch on my sides. She also tried ignoring me but she’s not that successful at that. I was holding her tightly, after all.

After the initial introduction when even my father looked at Shizu as though she was an adorable daughter, my parents invited us to go somewhere else. As the place wasn't really fit to hold our conversation, we moved inside the ministry and found ourselves in the lobby.
