Chapter 34 Secret Romance

Under the maple tree in the courtyard, the relaxed atmosphere of the lunch break vanished instantly.

A serious conversation was underway.

"Ruzaki Mami, it's about time you told us the truth," Kagura Hikaru said calmly as he packed up his lunchbox and chopsticks. "Even if we want to help you, we at least need to know where to start."

"I, I understand..."

Ruzaki Mami also put down her chopsticks, "But, you must keep it a secret."

"I've said before, I can't guarantee that," Kagura Hikaru replied.

"If you can't keep it a secret, then I won't tell you!" Ruzaki Mami mustered her courage and met his gaze.

Ai Cheng Hua Lian glanced at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "Mami, just tell us what happened. If it really is something that can't be leaked, we'll help cover it up."

"...All right, since Karen-chan says so..."

Ruzaki Mami pouted, "Karen-chan, you should remember, right? I told you before that I got a boyfriend."
