Chapter 140: Wagnaria
"Really?!" Mahiru's eyes widened in surprise. "I actually attend that school too." She blinked, taken aback by the coincidence that Shido would transfer to her school.
"Wow, what a surprise," Shido chuckled. "What year are you in, by the way?"
"I'm in my first year." Mahiru replied casually.
"I see... that's a pity." Shido said, a playful grin tugging at his lips.
"Pity? Why?" Mahiru tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Shido laughed, his tone light and teasing. "I thought I'd have a beautiful senpai to look up to. Guess it's a pity."
Mahiru's cheeks flushed a soft shade of pink, and she let out a small huff. "Mooo, Itsuka-san, don't tease me!" she said with a pout, her voice tinged with embarrassment.
"I'm just stating the truth." Shido replied with a sincere smile.
"I didn't expect you to have such a slick tongue," Mahiru said, recovering from her embarrassment as a playful smile danced on her lips. "I wonder how many girls have fallen for your sweet words. Hmm?"
"None," Shido replied without missing a beat. "I don't say things like that to other girls."
Mahiru's smile brightened, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh? Are you saying you only say those kinds of things to me?"
