Erika who heard the circumstances from Senai came up beside me, folded her arms, and turned flat eyes on me.
Sorry, but was there a scene in that exchange to get flat eyes?
I thought the talk had ended peacefully. I tilted my head and stared at Erika's face.
"Raide-san. Enol-sensei wanted to keep it hidden, did she not?"
"…Aah. I think so."
"And Raide-san ended up knowing it?"
"Ah~. I understand what you want to say. Meaning I might be thought to use that as material and demand something."
"It is only a possibility. But a bad possibility?"
"I have to cut it off."
"Good."
I smiled with a troubled face and gave the answer. Erika nodded with a glossy smile.
True, in an exchange without words a wrong reading might be made.
If I had let a wrong reading stand, Enol-sensei would spend her days still frightened.
Something she did not want anyone to notice, I knew. She would be holding a bad feeling.
