They say that people who look polished on the outside are often only putting on appearances. Where you can't see...
Ahem!
Shizuka Hiratsuka thought there was something wrong with Sogo Doma's way of thinking. He'd already mistaken the mess in her apartment for something he'd caused, yet not only had Sogo failed to help her clean up, he'd even...
He couldn't be allowed to keep making mistakes without showing any remorse. She had to set him straight. That was the earnest concern of an educator, Shizuka told herself—not because she got a headache every time she returned to her apartment.
Whenever she thought of the rooms, which looked like a typhoon had blown through, Shizuka got so worked up she wanted to hit someone. As someone hopeless at housework, wasn't asking her to tidy up the place like asking too much of the poor... Ahem, Shizuka?
She'd given the place a rough clean, but compared to how it had been before, everything still felt off. And whenever something felt off, she thought of the indirect culprit behind the state of her apartment: Sogo Doma!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
So when she spotted Sogo Doma at school, she simply ignored the gap in their fighting abilities and strode after him.
An ordinary person would definitely have felt guilty. Fortunately, Sogo Doma had seen all kinds of storms and stresses. This was only a little problem; he could change the subject in an instant.
"What happened at the apartment? Do you mean when I introduced you to Taihei?" Changing the subject was easy. All he had to do was steer the conversation toward something the other person cared about more.
Sure enough, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was almost thirty and still hadn't gotten married, blushed at once.
