“Yes, please! That would help me lots!”, she fully turned her attention to Horaoku and bowed down deeply. Himeko couldn’t care less about Yachiyo’s reaction. Her cutesy act didn’t work as good on women as it did on men anyway and since she got what she wanted, she really felt no need to get her sympathy.

With a content smile she thanked Horaoku again, before turning around in order to observe what the rest of the group was up to and if anyone was maybe free to exchange a few words with her. Unfortunately, everyone seemed rather busy with their own matters, so Himeko decided to not stick around for too long. She also had an important appointment with her newly bought cocoa after this and she didn’t feel like waiting too much longer to finally consume some of it, to be honest.
