How Many?

As the train started to move to its destination, the shaking of the train started.

Without anything to grab onto for my balance, I naturally placed my hand just next to Chii's head, ending up for us to be in a position where I was seemingly covering her escape.

"Chii. Do you want to hear about it now?"

Because she had her head lowered without any sign of her lifting it to meet my gaze, I opened a conversation just to take her attention.

The train ride would at most last for 20 minutes so to make use of that time, it's better to have something to talk to than spend it without even looking at each other.

In the classroom or even when outside it, this girl was even more energetic than Saki.

She would greet anyone or would laugh with her fellow gyaru friends in their group.

However, every time she was with me, that gyaru persona of hers was always toned down to the point that she was only using it to mask what's really going on in her mind.
