Three people trudged the length of the corridor from the Koutaishidenka's room where Ara rested. Yayoi, walked in front, while Emi and Gin walked side by side. The three of them were quiet as if lost in thought. However, Gin was in reality fighting to smile as his very obvious girlfriend kept giving him surreptitious glances from beneath her lashes. Also, her face hadn't lost its scarlet hue since he teased her earlier.
Before they walked past the private residential area however, Yayoi suddenly halted and turned to them.
"Young Master Gin, I'll be taking my leave now. Please do not follow me and do your thing," she told them with a knowing expression before turning around to walk away.
