Their Surprise
A few minutes after Hayashi-sensei agreed to my suggestion, we returned to the Student Council.
Watanabe instantly excused herself upon seeing us while Shizu slumped down on her table.
There’s no more work for her to do at the moment and... it’s easy to guess the reason why she went straight to her desk. It’s because of what happened in the Principal’s Office.
Although I calmed her down, she’s still feeling ashamed of what she did.
The girl confidently brought me there thinking both Hayashi and I would instantly accept her suggestion. Unfortunately, the opposite happened.
As I stared at the girl who seemed vulnerable at the moment, my feet traversed the distance separating.
With Watanabe gone, I boldly picked up a chair and sat next to her, whispering comforting words to her ears while I stretched my arm across her shoulders. Perhaps slightly irked at what I was doing, Shizu eventually raised her head and glared at me.
