Creative Relay

When I arrived at the gymnasium with Ryouko-san, I maintained a one-step distance behind her, keeping up the image of her student assistant. After a quick scan of the area, I joined our class, already lined up on one side opposite Class 3.

Although most students were aware of my role as her assistant, it wouldn’t hurt to be cautious about our relationship. Unlike my interactions with the girls in class, things with Ryouko-san could get complicated.

No. It would be disastrous.

Just take Shio’s ex-husband as an example. He’s still on the run after getting ordered to surrender himself.

While people might dismiss my flirting with Nami and the other girls as typical playboy behavior, being seen with Ryouko-san, Orimura-sensei, or even Shio would cause serious problems. For them, not me.
