Luck Provides
For the next ten minutes until the first of my girls arrived, I conversed with Wakaba, Kashiwagi, and some other classmates or girls from different classes who approached this corner.
Of course, most of them tried to probe me about what was real or not based on the loads of rumors I was involved in. Like always, I didn’t give a straight answer so they also immediately gave up and we just had a mundane conversation where I ended up only answering yes, no, or maybe on their topics.
I filtered their topics in my head and only took note of some interesting bits. In the end, Wakaba even confessed that I caught her off guard back then and declared that it wouldn't happen again.
In response, I whispered to her that she could try – and she immediately shrank back like a snail hiding in her shell.
Kashiwagi and the others got a good laugh from that.
