"It's my first time seeing a high school student fall down and cry like that."
"...You talk too much."
"Next time, remember to fall where I can't see you."
"I don't want to."
Kiryu Hina's grip around Kagura Hikaru's neck tightened, and she pressed her upper body against his back.
Right now, she was being carried by Kagura Hikaru on the way back home.
The fall had resulted in a scraped knee and elbow and a twisted ankle.
Kagura Hikaru couldn't just leave her there, so with a somewhat disgusted expression, he had to carry her into a taxi and take her home.
After the taxi arrived near the Kiryu household, the last stretch of the journey had to be shouldered by him, as he carried Kiryu Hina back.
At first, Kagura Hikaru said he wouldn't accompany her home, yet now he did the exact opposite.
She hadn't expected to accomplish her goal in such a way, not even Kiryu Hina herself anticipated it.
A pretty girl playing the sympathy card indeed proves useful.
