He understood. Sogo Doma felt that he understood everything now!
Shizuka Hiratsuka currently had a childhood friend blocking her way in front, while a gorilla relentlessly pestered her from behind. No wonder she had no mind to deal with Taihei...
Setting aside the childhood friend, just the gorilla's relentless pestering alone was practically harassment. Yet for women—especially women like Shizuka Hiratsuka, who were desperate to get married—being harassed like that could still satisfy their vanity, even if the culprit was a gorilla wearing human skin!
Still, understanding was one thing; this development did not align with Sogo Doma's interests! So—
"Um..." Before Shizuka Hiratsuka could finish speaking, Sogo Doma said, "Don't be fooled by that... Kondo Isao. He might harass humans at the drop of a hat... Ahem, I mean, harass other people, but when it comes to Tae Shimura..."
"Tsk, tsk..." Yet upon hearing that, Shizuka Hiratsuka could not help but laugh. "What, you're not even pretending anymore? What do you mean by 'that Kondo Isao,' and what kind of description is 'harassing humans'? Haven't you expelled that gorilla from the human race too?"
"..." Well... fine. Sogo Doma ultimately gave up. "What do you mean, expelled from the human race? When did gorillas ever belong to the human race?" Of course, he had said it deliberately—no matter how desperate Shizuka Hiratsuka was to get married, she could not possibly be interested in a gorilla, right?
"Then why did you say I was eating from the bowl and then cursing the cook once I put it down?"
"..."
"Besides..." Shizuka Hiratsuka continued, "if you know that gorilla harasses humans whenever it gets the chance, then don't let it out..."
Though her wording was crude, Sogo Doma breathed a sigh of relief. Since Shizuka Hiratsuka was calling him a gorilla,
