Chapter 344: Disgrace
Alright.
To put it simply—Senjumaru Shutara had given in to temptation.
It might not match her elegant and noble image, but it was absolutely something she would do.
And judging by how smoothly this played out, this wasn’t the first time.
That’s why neither Masatsuki Aozaki nor Kirio Hikifune looked particularly surprised. Normally, she wouldn’t face any severe punishment for something like this.
At this moment, however, Senjumaru, thoroughly intimidated by Masatsuki’s imposing aura, muttered under her breath:
"Well, it’s only because you were too slow, Masatsuki-chan... I just couldn’t help myself..."
"You two ran off to have fun without me, and I had to do something to pass the time..."
"What?" Masatsuki’s eyes narrowed. "So not only did you sneak around, but now you’re trying to shift the blame? You really are a mature adult, huh?"
"...I—I’m sorry! I truly apologize!"
At this point, Senjumaru Shutara looked just like a newlywed wife caught making a mistake.
