Cracking an Ego
Having declared that, Saionji somehow used it as a springboard, repairing her almost broken confidence. She tugged on my sleeve a bit strongly. And although forced, her lips curved enticingly, brushing away her moment of weakness.
It’s as if she’s declaring that it is impossible for me to move her from her seat.

Yep. If something’s unique about her, it was certainly this. She would never back down even if she’s doomed to lose.
Let’s see… Glancing at the girl next to her, there’s no doubt that Nao was also watching this interaction closely. And like Akane, she’s having a good laugh at it. If Saionji would turn her attention to the girl who brought her here, she’d definitely crack again.
Back then, Nao said she wouldn’t mind having a cheeky sister like Saionji and it still holds true to this day.
