Katsura was quite a dangerous guy, but...
No one was perfect. Perhaps because he was too powerful, he was remarkably guileless when it came to lying—just like Sogo Doma!
"So it really was Doma?" Kaguya Shinomiya gritted her teeth. What did he mean by changing the subject? The guy before her was practically saying outright that he was connected to Sogo Doma!
"It had nothing to do with Sougo..." Kotaro Katsura shook his head. "At most, he merely provided me with some information..."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "..."
Merely provided some information? And he said "merely"?
She was the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family. In ancient times, she could even have been called a princess. Was information about her really so easy to obtain?
"In fact, the reason I came here was..." Before she could speak, Kotaro Katsura solemnly said, "I wanted to know what kind of person Lady Shinomiya was! Sougo once told me that although Lady Shinomiya was born into the Shinomiya Family, she lacked the arrogance of a noble. She was a girl who looked fierce but was actually quite gentle..."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "..."
Is Doma trying to provoke me? Gentle, my ass...
Thanks to the Shinomiya Family's teachings, gentleness was practically synonymous with weakness and incompetence within the Shinomiya Family. To others, gentleness was a compliment, but to the Shinomiya Family's eldest daughter, it was absolutely an insult!
"That's right. I actually trusted Sougo's assessment as well..." Kotaro Katsura nodded.
"At least you have good judgment! I am..." Kaguya Shinomiya was finally satisfied.
"However..." Before she could finish, Kotaro Katsura continued, "after interacting with you these past few days, I have come to acknowledge Sougo's view."
"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Lady Shinomiya is a gentle person..." Kotaro Katsura went on regardless.
Kaguya Shinomiya: "..."
