Chapter 238: Friend
Masatsuki Aozaki, who had seen his fair share of such reactions, naturally understood the girl's shy demeanor.
"I don't have anything to do either. With Gyōkaku handling the banquet, that's more than enough..."
Rurichiyo Kasumiōji tightly clutched the corner of her clothes, pouting slightly as she muttered,
"Gyōkaku has always taken care of these things."
"Oh? What's with that pitiful expression?"
Masatsuki Aozaki didn't comment, simply gazing at Rurichiyo with interest, his eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.
He was genuinely intrigued—what exactly was this cute young lady planning?
His unabashed gaze was like an X-ray, scanning Rurichiyo from head to toe, making her heart skip a beat.
She felt as though she had been completely seen through.
"You came to see me specifically, didn't you, Rurichiyo-san? Is there something I can help with?"
