After lunch, Kagura Hikaru had planned to head right back to the Disciplinary Committee.
But Ai Cheng Karen stopped him, seemingly with something she wanted to say to him.
Moreover, it had to be a private conversation between just the two of them.
"Eh? Karen-chan, are you going to confess to Mr. Kagura?" Upon hearing they needed to talk privately, Ruzaki Mami, told by Ai Cheng Karen to go back to the classroom and wait, asked in shock.
"Wait—Mami! Don't be so loud, someone will hear!"
Ai Cheng Karen quickly covered her best friend's mouth, then awkwardly turned back to smile at Kagura Hikaru who was not far away, then turned back sharply, glaring sternly at her best friend.
"Stop joking about that, and don't bring it up in front of Kagura. The two of us... we're not in that kind of ambiguous relationship."
Ruzaki Mami patted her hand, feeling the pressure on her mouth loosen, and muttered, "But, Karen-chan likes Mr. Kagura, doesn't she?"
