Well, I somehow managed to recover from the mental damage I received earlier
...but as if the fact that my little sister couldn't pronounce my name was enough—I suddenly found myself on the same train as Emma.
Yeah.
Emma Roshfield, one of the main protagonists and daughter of the Mayor of Ashton city.
Sigh.
To make things worse, she was now sitting next to me with both of her eyes closed. Seemingly asleep.
It felt as if I was sitting on needles.
"...Huuuuuam"
"shut up"
An hour into the train ride, I couldn't help but yawn. But to Emma, who was sitting next to me, my seemingly quiet yawn instantly caused a reaction from her
The reason for her outburst was most likely due to the fact that she was looking for an excuse to pick a fight with me from the very beginning.
...and as soon as she saw the opportunity, she shot back at me.
I guess she still held a grudge against me for what I did to Jin...couldn't blame her though. I'd show a similar reaction if I found one of my friends suddenly being held by the throat. Not that I had any...mhhh maybe Smallsnake, but in all honesty I'd probably laugh first.
Briefly glancing at her, rolling my eyes I retorted.
"What?"
"That's your eighth yawn"
"You counted?"
Who in the world would count how many times someone yawned? That's not normal.
"I can tell what you're thinking. No. I don't have the habit of counting when someone yawns...but it's different when every time you yawn you stretch and nudge all the way over to my side"
Ah.
Make sense.
That indeed sounded like something I would do.
"Sorry"
"...you should be"
Since I was in the wrong, I rightfully apologized. But after hearing her response, I started regretting it.
In the end, I didn't say anything else and just leaned back on my chair. Wasn't worth the hassle...that was my original train of thought, however, as the train ride continued, I couldn't help but frown.
Noticing my change in attitude, Emma angrily asked
