Chapter 656: Yukinoshita Yukino: Pfft! Scumbag! (cont.)

Miko gave a soft snort and turned her head away, refusing to speak to him.

Having never shared life-and-death adventures in an instance with him, Miko naturally couldn't truly put herself in his shoes. So she had never been able to accept Amamiya Natsuki's shameless harem-building.
