Mio's Triumph *

“Amano-san, Mio was feeling cold. I offered to warm her up. As you can see... not only did she take my blanket, she also fell asleep.” Delivering that excuse flawlessly and without faltering while I put on an embarrassed smile, it made Amano’s eyes shake a bit as the hint of embarrassment flashed upon her face.

As for Kanzaki, I sensed her face moving slightly. My shamelessness probably brought a smile to her face.

And with my voice a little louder than normal, those close to us surely heard it. Aya and Satsuki peeked at us. The former gently smiled and gave me an approving nod while the latter scowled before propping herself back to her seat.

For sure, even if they also failed to see what was exactly happening, they already had an idea that Kanzaki was set on maximizing this opportunity.

Behind us, Chii and Hana also peeked at us. The former reached for my ear and pinched it while the latter grumbled. They also expressed themselves clearly.
