Murderous intent filled Kanzaki Kaori's eyes.
"You said... you changed your mind?"
"That's right. Being able to hold a girl that soft whenever and wherever I want sounds wonderful to me," Roland said with a smile.

No matter how many times she told herself to stay calm, every conversation with Roland made Kanzaki Kaori feel surging fury
