Seeing Yui's signal, Sawamura shook his head without hesitation, leaving Yui looking somewhat at a loss.

Yui's cautious personality was a good thing, but his pitch selection was still a little too straightforward!
For someone normally steady but not especially decisive, in this situation, the pitch
