Kiyohira and Rie let go of each other and look in a different direction. Rie studies the ceiling, looking like she is trying to understand the meaning of life. Kiyohira glances at Takeshi and frowns deeply.
"Are you being bullied?" Kamiyama inquires him directly. Rie glowers at him and purses her lips.
"Him?" Iori cries out loud. "Who has the ability to bully him?"
"Yeah, Takeshi is the type to bully others." Haru guffaws. "He is the type who can even make the teacher cry."
Kiyohira smirks at Rie. "My younger brother can make the teacher cry. He isn't the type to get bullied."
She purses her lips and looks at Takeshi. "Are you really not having any hard time?"
Kiyohira is peeved to see her like that. "He's my brother. I will take care of him. Don't interfere."
"He's my brother too. I will interfere if I want." She spats out in anger. In the next instant, she seems to understand the meaning of her words. Embarrassed, she bites her lower lip. "Damn!"
