This sudden burst of anger left the older woman quite puzzled, and she asked with some concern.
"What's wrong with you? You seem really off today. Worse than usual."
"What do you mean?! Like I'm always awful!" The girl's sensitive nerves were constantly being provoked. Because of the person she loved, she had become sensitive and suspicious too, as though the slightest spark could set her ablaze.
"Alright, don't throw a tantrum. Hurry home. The school's about to close. Come on, get up!" Ōgami took Kariu's hand.
"Ah! What are you doing?! Let go! You don't even have any strength! I get it! I'll stand up myself! I'll walk by myself! Let go already!!" Kariu Rena's cheeks flushed bright red. Even after knowing each other for so long, she was still deeply shy around him. Especially after realizing her own feelings.
"!!"
That violent movement caused them both to lose their balance instantly. Kariu Rena reflexively braced herself against the floor with her arm.
"Hiss!"
Kariu Rena endured the pain and sucked in a breath. Ōgami was startled by the sight as well.
"Kariu! Sorry!"
"What happened?! Did you hit somewhere?"
"Don't look!!"
"That hurts!!" This time, Ōgami received a fierce punch from Kariu Rena.
"Don't worry about me!"
"My nose is about to fall off!" Ōgami complained as he rubbed his nose.
"Don't worry about me!!" This time, Kariu Rena was completely enraged. Her voice echoed through the classroom, like power that had been building for a long time before finally exploding.
"Didn't you hear me?" Kariu Rena snapped. A girl's love could be so immature. They did not even know how to leave a better impression in the other person's heart.
Kariu Rena puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction!
"How long are you going to keep looking?!"
