Obstinate Girl
When I stepped out of the car, one of the two men in suits approached me to say something.
He didn’t do that to intimidate me but instead to leave a reminder. He said, “Kid, don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against you. However, it will be best if you start distancing yourself from Marika-ojou-sama. I’m certain you’re aware of her circumstances. We might not be from the Ichihara but it won’t be long before they pick up on this.”
The man returned to the car without waiting for my response.
Well, that’s surprising, to say the least. The two are loyal to Marika making that concern totally understandable. And obviously, they cannot advise the girl themselves or it will be defying the one they’re supposed to be serving so… they went after me instead.
They’re not clueless about my developing relationship with Marika. They definitely noticed the change in her or just the difference between her behavior around me and the way she conducts herself towards Ichihara Jun.
