1017 Parting

I had to admit, Fuyu's observation was at least on point. Miho was never a friendly girl to anyone. In fact, I’d never seen her be that friendly to any other girl before I stole her. That’s why seeing her with us and even claiming that she’s close to both Akane and me was a valid point of suspicion.

Nonetheless, Fuyu acting like this when there’s not even a shred of evidence and she’s once again relying on her own judgement was definitely a little off-putting

Normally, I should be mad at her but given that I was guilty – even if it’s not considered cheating in our complex relationship – I couldn’t be compelled to do so.

Besides, before I could even turn and respond to her, the girl had already returned to Akane’s side and hid from my gaze. Seeing her side frame that still resembles a wet chick, weak-looking and shivering, the girl was still afraid of me, or rather, afraid of how I would react.
