Ichihara-san's Troubles
“I apologize, sensei. I have no idea that she enrolled in your course.”
Several minutes later, we’re now inside Ichihara-san’s car. While she hadn’t started driving yet, the engine was already turned on.
Earlier, when she and Marika met at the entrance of the boxing gym, the latter cautiously asked her. Most likely, the ringlet girl thought Ichihara-san was there for her. She’s wary, for sure. But considering Ichihara-san had no idea about her enrollment in my Basics of Boxing Course, she’s probably keeping it a secret. Or at least, only her escorts know about it.
“It’s fine. You don’t have to apologize, Ichihara-san. I don’t find her troublesome at all.”
“Really? Have you gotten closer to her? I remember. She’s with your...”
Right. She’s aware of my relationship with Sena. So, seeing Marika with the girl most likely filled her mind with ideas as to what has happened.
“Closer. Maybe, yes. But only to her and not to the guy engaged to her.”
