"Mako!"
"Why are you looking so down?"
Gojo Satoru came over to Amikura Mako and casually pinched Kobashi Yume's cheek. Seeing Amikura Mako with her head bowed in thought, he couldn't help feeling curious.
At his question, Amikura Mako raised her head and stared blankly at Gojo Satoru before explaining unhappily,
"I just feel like I don't understand Satoru-kun at all.
Not your abilities, or even your actual physical condition."
?????
Hearing this cryptic remark, Gojo Satoru froze. Why was she suddenly saying this?
He'd only been gone for a little while. Why had she gotten depressed after going for a run?
"Why are you suddenly thinking about all this?"
"Hey, look. These sunglasses are completely black, so there must be something wrong with Satoru-kun's vision!
I knew it. There's no way such beautiful eyes could be normal.
And that's not all—I don't even know how fast Satoru-kun can run!"
How would anyone know that?!
The first point was understandable enough, but who would go out of their way to find out how fast a normal person could run?
He'd thought something serious had happened, but it was just these little things.
He gently patted her head and reassured her with a smile.
"That stuff doesn't matter, does it? They're just little things.
If Mako comes in first in the race later, I'll tell you one of my secrets tonight!"
"Really?!
A secret about Satoru-kun?!"
As if she'd just heard something incredible, Amikura Mako immediately perked up, eyes wide as she stared at Gojo Satoru.
"Exactly! It's a really, really amazing secret!
Once Mako finds out, you might be so happy you faint!"
Gojo Satoru held up his right index finger and waved it around, making a big mystery out of it as he teased her with a mischievous grin.
