"You call that harmless? Why did I feel so harmed when she spoke then?"
Well…
Ara fought hard not to laugh out loud again. Her brother had a point, but his expression at the moment was just too much – too comical that she couldn't help the twitching of her lips. He totally looked offended and scandalized as no one else had noticed that Maki Yuuka just threw a barb at him but himself.
"I just got insulted right?"
"Don't be such a snowflake. She just said her opinion," Chiaki rebuked Aki which made Ara more amused.
Poor big brother…
It seemed Chiaki would be taking Maki Yuuka's side – and it was amazing. After all, it hadn't been an hour since they spoke to the other woman, and not only the secretary but Ara herself felt a connection with her. Since both Ara and Chiaki were with the people they love – at least Aki was obviously into Chiaki as she was with him, they found Yuuka's loveless situation quite pitiful.
