1716 Corrupted Innocence

As careless as we were for being caught by Hayashi-sensei, we were still fortunate that it was her; otherwise, it would have been really damaging to Marika’s reputation if it was another teacher or the old principal.

Due to that, I didn’t leave right away and stayed for a bit to calm her down first, assuring her that she could be as open as she could to Hayashi-sensei. And backing me up, Hayashi-sensei also guaranteed her that if she ever feels uncomfortable answering a question, she can choose not to answer it.
