Volume 2 Chapter 1 Part8 (2/2)

「The members of the Yahata clan were servants of the Yatono clan since the day they were both established, so of course we know about it Lords are the beings that far surpass mortal comprehension, and they bestow their Gifts to those they deehts based on their coeneration, Yatono clan chooses its Knights from the ranks of the Yahata fa with that logic, Kuhoh and I were chosen to be Knights of our respective Lords because of our assassin abilities, and shi+ki was probably chosen by shi+nae and analytical abilities Yet another useful piece of knowledge about the world that I didn't even knew existed up until a while ago

「Ugh, look how it's raining out there now, it's like a torrential downpour We were lucky we ot this bad」

Asagao was right The droplets of rain were banging against the 's glass as if they were being shot froround was not totally soaked As she said, ere really lucky ere not caught in the middle of it

「That re? Did they made your heart skip a beat? I helped everyone put the how you are going to react to seeing them, Monjiro-san」

「Hearing so so serious from soirl say so from time to time? I know I don't look like it, but I have ao pouted her cheeks and tightened her lips, throwing a fake tantruuess I'm just happy that we seem to have similar world views, that's all」

「I-Is that so? Then you should've said so right off the bat! Monjiro-san, could this be your hobby, by any chance? Making girls all flustered like that?!」

Today is such a strange day First Yugao-chan, then shi+naao, it looks like everybody is blushi+ng for one reason or another at some point, why is that? Once we return to the first floor, I'll have to ask shi+ki about it Or Fujisato Or perhaps Kuhoh Yeah, she's less likely to probe me for a reason behind such question or turn it into a co on sexual harassment, so Kuhoh it is
