Drawing up a plan

Shortly after that, Marika led me to a small room beneath the stairs. Well, it’s more of a small space to store things than a proper room. No light, cramped space, and no fresh air.

Even though we somehow managed to fit ourselves in – by being as close as possible in a corner – the room and our body temperature quickly went up and beads of sweat started to form on our foreheads.

Nonetheless, instead of being uncomfortable with it, the ringlet girl who was practically clinging to me giggled at our situation. She enjoyed it a lot. It’s the first time for her to act sneakily like this, after all.

For her, it’s a new experience. On top of that, she’s experiencing it with me.

Anyway, while we were there, Ichihara Jun’s loud grumbling continued to echo. Given that the guard wasn’t even letting him get past the front hall, he’s throwing a hissy fit like the spoiled brat that he is.
