Before turning in for the night

Before we set off to escort the two girls home, Hifumi and Chii told me to take another minute or two with Hana.

From how they secretly whispered that to me when Hana wasn’t looking, it’s probably their conceived way of apologizing for that misdemeanor that they never really addressed during their talks.

Well, even though there’s nothing much to talk about anymore, I still followed it just for their peace of mind.

After taking their bags and books from my arms, the two girls went out of the door first, leaving me alone with Hana.

“Hmm? Did you forget something?”

Perhaps wondering why I didn’t follow them, the girl charmingly tilted her head. Yep. Despite everything that happened, she already returned to her almost immaculate image that could send any boy into a frenzy even if she was not smiling.
