You can act, right?
That Tanaka-senpai or whoever was behind her was devious. But very predictable. The girl actually easily gave away the underlying motive for asking me to come and check on Marika way earlier this morning.
We had this kind of agreement that I would only move if it was convenient and also, she’d be providing me with the time and place where I could approach Marika. But the girl displayed that she could easily create that environment. This means… staking out for an opportunity wasn’t really needed.
And so, when I arrived here, I was already prepared for this occasion. I stealthily locked the door when I entered. Unless the guy had the key to open it, he could only knock and shout there in the meantime.
However, because Marika thought it was open, she immediately went frigid. Gazing at her shocked expression, the girl’s brain circuit had indubitably stopped.
I had to snap my fingers to jump-start it again and hold her chin to get her focus back on me.
