“Oh. Welcome home. Kengo-san, this is who I’m talking to you about. Koharu’s boxing instructor.”
Without delay, Ichihara-san stood up and introduced me to him. The way she immediately cleared up the conflicted expression on her face and even managed to sound a little lively on greeting him didn’t escape my notice.
Whether that was a genuine reaction or not coming from Ichihara-san toward her husband, I had no idea. But one thing was for sure, she’s hiding how troubled she is from him.
In any case, since getting the answer to my question was next to impossible by now, I dropped it from my mind and stood up just the same. Following that, I slightly bowed my head as a greeting while Ichihara-san was introducing me to him.
Even if I’m in conflict with Ichihara Jun, that doesn’t mean I have to antagonize everyone related to him right away. Furthermore, given that he didn’t even raise an eyebrow when Ichihara-san mentioned my name, he’s probably unaware of that said conflict.
