Monimoka Cafe.
Still with his foot being stepped on, Sogo Doma took a sip of coffee. "All right, let's get serious. If Mai-chan merely changed into a bunny girl outfit, then we'll have to start the experimental data from scratch..."
"An experiment?" Mai Sakurajima frowned. "Does this experiment mean having me do all those things you just mentioned?"
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, Mai-chan. You only need to cooperate with me." As he spoke, Sogo Doma placed the coffee cup in his hand onto the table.
"If..." Mai Sakurajima wanted to say more.
"If the process makes Mai-chan feel like she can't accept it, you can refuse!" Before she could finish, Sogo Doma had already added what she had wanted to say.
After hearing Sogo Doma's explanation, Mai Sakurajima's heart skipped another beat. She felt as though the guy before her could always guess what she was thinking, then resolve everything without putting her in a difficult position. Perhaps her current unobservable state had actually been for the sake of meeting someone?
And that person...
Mai Sakurajima looked at Sogo Doma again. He was refined and handsome, with a good background and a rather gentle personality. Even when she stepped on his foot, the smile on his face remained unchanged. He sounded flippant when he spoke, yet when he analyzed and tried to solve her problem, he was quite serious...
Even the troubles she might encounter during the process of solving the problem—this guy had asked about them in his characteristically unserious way. In Mai Sakurajima's view, Sogo Doma had probably asked those questions because he was worried she would get caught up in disputes after she recovered.
The proof was that he had just said she could refuse any step she was unwilling to take.
