Stealing Spree

Chapter 2405  A kiss to end the night

“... Yes. I understand. Are you sure you want me to tell him to go home with me? I thought you wanted him to come back. Is that not the case anymore?”

“... I see. You’re too embarrassed to face him now. See you tomorrow, sensei.”

That’s all I managed to hear from their conversation while waiting outside the Director’s Office. Shizu intentionally raised her voice for that while Hayashi-sensei probably controlled the volume of hers.

When Shizu stepped out, the first thing that caught my eye was her confident smile. It was practically glowing. She carried herself with an air of triumph, as though she’d just won a game only she and Hayashi-sensei were playing.

“Numbskull...” She approached, her hand arm instantly hooking on mine, “Looks like she’s letting you off lightly today. Why do you think she changed her mind about keeping you here?”

"Isn't it because of you? She took back her words because she's afraid you might misunderstand her intention." I answered as I glanced back to the now-closed door.

For sure, Hayashi-sensei was holding her forehead again, sighing to herself.

We came here as soon as Shizu woke up and for some reason, the two of them asked me to step out. Clearly, apart from the reason why she visited Shizu at her office earlier, I became their core topic. Or rather, what happened between us and what Hayashi-sensei witnessed.
