Amane returned soon after, having concluded her battle.
"Nya~ I'm bwack, everyone!" she announced, kicking the door open.
"You won, I'm assuming?" I raised an eyebrow.
"What, you weren't watching?!" she cried in shock, on the verge of tears. "How could you, Xuwan Kwai…"
"U-Uh, no, look. I was using the bathroom, that's why," I said, making a lame excuse.
"Hmph…" she pouted, not buying my lie at all.
She then walked over closer and tilted her head down, as if waiting for something. Her arms were folded as she glanced at me silently, seeing if I would understand what she wants.
I raised my hand and gently patted her head. The gesture she was making was too obvious to not understand what she wanted. At this, her lips curved up into a smile.
"Meowkay, I forgive you~"
I sighed in relief and moved my hand away. "Okay… who's next to fight?"
