Chapter 252: Honest Introspection

"What I wanted to talk about…?"

Sanaka stared at Teki as she contemplated the question.

"Yes. That's what Ketsueki-kun told me that day. So, can you tell me what was it?"

Teki had his hands clasped together on top of the table. His gaze didn't leave Sanaka.

"Oh… Ah! Y-you're right… But at this point, it really isn't important anymore…"

Sanaka forced a smile and laugh.

"Are you sure? It seemed important to me. I want to return the favor as much as possible. If there is anything I can do, please, just let me know."

Teki slightly smiled.

"Really… it's fine…"

"If you say so…"

(We're on a date already, so there's no point in telling you that that's what I was going to ask for! Even if you look a bit sad, I will never tell you the truth at this point! I'm sorry!)

Sanaka suddenly bowed her head repeatedly toward Teki.

"What are you doing, Sentaku-san? Are you feeling well?"

Teki tilted his head as he watched Sanaka.
