I'll do something about it

Nothing much happened after that, I didn't repeat what I did last time -- hugging her. As soon as I finished my tale and Hayashi-sensei gave her opinion about my boldness in going to Marika's doorstep, I spent another minute to properly give her relief with my massage before excusing myself.

I spied a hint of expectation on her face as though she already anticipated that I would overstep my bounds again.

However, because I didn't do anything, it unnoticeably turned into a hint of disappointment. She probably didn't realize it herself as she told me to return and report again tomorrow.

Well, I have no more time to waste, after all. If not for that, I might've held her again upon noticing her anticipation.

With my destination clear in my head, I walked down the stairs and then ran along the corridor to quickly arrive there.
