Chapter 249: Second Surprise

"D-did I make y-you wait long? I-I'm sorry for being late!"

Sanaka clasped her hands together and bowed toward Teki.

"No, no! I had a bit of free time and decided to go here early. You are not at fault, Sentaku-san."

Teki placed his hand behind his head as he slightly bowed to Sanaka.

"I-I see… I'm sorry for being presumptuous, then…"

Sanaka raised her head and looked away. She forced a laugh to hide her blushing face.

"There really is no need for apologies…"

Teki stared at Sanaka with his usual smile.

The two of them went silent for a while. They just stood and faced each other. As each moment passed by, the silence became too awkward to bear, and Teki was the first one to budge. He cleared his throat first before he spoke up.

"S-so, Sentaku-san, I heard from Ketsueki-san that you wanted to talk to me…"

"A-actually, it's really n-nothing important and will probably just waste your time to even talk about it…!"
