How busy can one be?

On our way to the Club Building, I told Marika that we didn't need to separate anymore. She could keep clinging on my arm and I would keep a firm hold on her hand, publicly showing our intimacy.

Given what happened, if I let things end up getting swept under the rug by Ichihara Jun's influence again, there's no doubt that it would just be more troublesome for us.

He could still act like the pompous idiot that he is to make things difficult for the girl. Not to mention, he'd keep obstructing me from approaching her.

About time to limit his interference.

Honestly, I'd happily hand him over to Takashima and Tanaka to be tormented. However, their involvement was still up in the air because of the guy's lack of courage to come out in hiding.

As a result, I decided to take the initiative for now.

And for starters, showcasing this kind of closeness publicly.
