Kagura Hikaru stopped in his tracks.
He never expected to suddenly hear such words from Saijo Mari.
He hadn't been without his suspicions.
Like the strange competitive spirit she showed towards Ai Cheng Hua Lian at the sports festival and several other small gestures.
Saijo Mari was an open and forthright girl, thus, her feelings were plainly laid out in front of Kagura Hikaru.
Previously, he had simply chosen to ignore them.
In his high school life, Kagura Hikaru didn't intend to dye it rose-colored.
"I'm sorry, I had planned to wait until graduation before saying this, but I really can't do it, suppressing these feelings isn't right,"
With her right hand pressed against her chest, Saijo Mari took a deep breath, looked earnestly at Kagura Hikaru and said, "Mr. Kagura, I like you, please give me an answer!"
"..."
In conclusion, he rejected her.
He apologized for his response to Saijo Mari's confession.
