Shiwasaki Shinke. I never expected him to come talk to me himself.
Did he see me earlier with Shiwasaki… the younger Shiwasaki?
"I'm surprised you remember my face. It's pretty average, honestly."
"That's an easy one—you're a cat."
"Ah… fair enough."
Shinke gave a gentle, cool smile.
Even that small expression was enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat. He really was absurdly handsome.
"I'm Shiwasaki Shinke. Kamika's brother. I graduated from this school last year."
He offered a handshake. I took it awkwardly.
"Akaya Makoto. Your sister bullies me, by the way."
"I see… sounds like Kamika's causing trouble again. Let me apologize on her behalf."
He gave me a polite bow.
I quickly waved it off. "Please don't—just kidding!" I hurried to raise his head.
