"..." Oreki.
So why did she have to be so obvious about it?
Did she really want him to wipe off his sweat?
Oreki accepted the towel Yanagi handed him, wiped his face, and returned it to her.
But Sakayanagi Arisu then passed the towel to Masumi Kamuro.
"..." Masumi Kamuro.
Kamuro felt that she really should not have been there at that moment.
She had come over after discovering that the exam situation might have changed.
And now, she stood there blankly, holding a towel by herself.
