Have we met?
The bell for the end of the third period rang and after finalizing everything we discussed in that room, the three of us left. I escorted Nao back to her classroom, ignoring the curiosity from the other students as well as dodging the group of Eguchi-sensei and the Principal somewhere on the same floor.
Right. They still hadn’t finished with their inspection. And from what I saw from afar, Kanno-sensei had already given up looking for me and rejoined their group.
I had no idea what kind of excuse Eguchi-sensei used to stop them from questioning my whereabouts. I sure am very grateful for her though. I accomplished my task and even got that time with Nao. Later, I’ll make sure to repay that to her. Whether it be doting on her or it’s the opposite, I’ll let her do it along with my own conceived way to thank her in our private moment.
