1145 Passiveness

Yesterday, despite resolving it easily, it left me some kind of notion to always double-check my surroundings regardless of whether I heard footsteps or not.

I did that with both Rae and Izumi-senpai earlier, albeit I kept it to a minimum to not freak them out or worry them again.

I mean, one wrong move, and I will make all of them a target as well. There’s nothing bad about being that cautious until I get to talk to Enomoto or if there’s someone else behind him as well.

The only protection we had was actually the absurdness of our relationship. If not for that, they would easily pinpoint who I cared the most about. For example, if I stopped at Satsuki or even with Aya as well, I would mostly be seen with either of the two. But because there are a lot of them, they could only label them as my friends or close friends.

And that’s the same case with Shizu.
