Pretend
Upon hearing Sawano’s voice calling our names, Shiina’s reaction to it turned out to be a little lukewarm. She only stopped for a moment before acting like she was still out of sorts from earlier. Perhaps to complete the act, she didn't even glance back at him.
A moment later, she leaned closer to me and whispered while squeezing my hand.
“Is he coming over? Onoda-kun, tell him I’m not feeling well. It won’t be good for you if he turns hostile because of this.”
Hearing that, I couldn’t help but narrow my gaze which I directed at her. Did I hear that right? She was more concerned about the possible result of this rather than the fact that he saw us in this situation.
There wasn’t even any hesitation from her.
In any case, I kind of agree with what she said.
It wouldn’t be good for me if Sawano started crossing me out in his list of good students and hindering me on my plans to leave our cabin area.
