Start with me
As guilt and shame gradually covered Mina’s face, the girl eventually retreated and shrunk behind me in an attempt to hide from the two girls’ condemning eyes.
As it turned out, Mina was a little fearful of the two girls lowering their opinion of her.
Glancing at her to check if there’s something I missed, I noticed that it’s probably close to the reason why she turned into an outcast and closed herself off.
She could care less about other people but these two in front of us, they’re her friends and close to being her sisters.
As I buttoned up the uniform that became disheveled because of Mina, I clasped the girl’s hand reassuring her in my own way. And once that was done, I faced the two girls, meeting Minori-senpai’s hostile gaze head-on with an apologetic smile.
“I’m sorry for this display, senpai… This is my fault.”
