Upon reaching the second floor, Marika and I ran into Tanaka-senpai.
The girl was pleasantly surprised to see us together and found we were closer than ever. Although she had yet to fully transition from being a follower to Marika’s actual friend, I could see how much she was trying to throw away her old ways. There’s also her conscious effort to atone for her attempt to use Marika as a tool for their vengeance.
Although I could only hear what she was doing from either Marika or Watanabe, she seemed to have started fighting back against those who continued to pretend to be Marika’s followers when in fact, they were in Ichihara Jun’s pockets.
As for the side of Takashima, the vengeful dude, she stopped associating with him. However, she could still pull some information from him – or rather his plans.
With Ichihara Jun taking this week off, Tanaka-senpai said he was planning to deal with the pompous bastard when he returns next week.
