Book 15.5,: Chapter 3: EVERYONE’S DAYS OFF (2)
“Um…Sakayanahi-san. Could you give me a little of your time?”
After lunch, I was resting in the ship’s café when Ichinose-san approached me and called out. I was just having tea by myself, so I had no reason to refuse.
“What can I do for you?”
I knew what she was going to say before she started speaking, but I dared to tilt my head curiously all the same.
“It’s about the special exam…I just felt like I had to apologise. On the last day, I did something really selfish…so, I’m really very sorry!”
Probably having prepared herself to some extent after knowing that I am not someone you can make excuses to, Ichinose-san bowed her head as hard as she could.
No, I don’t think she would have given a poor excuse, no matter who it was.
It would be no surprise if her actions had angered me, Class A’s leader, and caused the dissolution of our partnership.
I’m sure she felt that that was the least she had done.
