‘This guy definitely isn’t as harmless as he appears.’
Seiji had this impression of Naoki and warned himself to be cautious of the blonde boy before him.
While having a discussion with this Naoki Hasegawa might not be the best option, it still seemed better than discussing with his younger sister, who was probably still fuming with anger.
At least it seemed like Naoki would be more reasonable.
"As long as you’re someone sent by Yui Haruta," said Seiji, "it doesn’t matter who I talk to—as long as we can discuss things properly."
"That’s fine, then."
Naoki smiled as he looked at the black-haired girl across from him. "Before our discussion," he said, "I’d like to ask Kagura-san here to leave for the time being."
"Why’s that?" asked Seiji coldly.
"Because this is an issue about the Haruta family."
"She’s my adopted younger sister. I have nothing to hide from her."
