"Of course, if one day Cat Monk does fall and starts targeting ordinary civilians, I won't be able to maintain a friendly attitude towards him."
After saying that, Aoto instinctively raised the teacup in his hand to take a sip, but upon reaching his lips, he realized the tea was already finished, so he awkwardly put the teacup down.
At this moment, Mukiwa's slender, velvet-like eyelashes fluttered a few times.
After sending a long glance at Aoto, the corners of her mouth slowly lifted, a smile emerged, ultimately turning into a child-like pure expression.
"Mr. Tachibana, you as a 'Three Times' Dōshin say you like Cat Monk... Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Aoto chuckled, then raised his right index finger to his lips, making a "hush" gesture.
"Then, Miss Kinoshita, you must keep this secret for me," Aoto teased.
Mukiwa raised her hand to cover her lips, smiling sweetly.
"Okay!" After lowering her hand from her lips, she nodded vigorously, "I will keep it a secret!"
