Several minutes later, Tadano returned from outside. He cautiously peeked in first, most likely ascertaining that we’d finished whatever we were doing.

When he returned to his seat, the guy found it unnatural because Nina who was supposed to be seated next to him, wasn't there anymore.

Kikuchi wasn’t really a problem. She’s already aware of my relationship with the others, after all.
