The girl Saya, realizing that the hands that were squeezing her were no longer squeezing her, quickly broke away from them and ran in the direction where the voice came from.

Reaching the source of the voice, she moved behind it as if seeking protection.

After the girl walked away, Matsuda, Issei and Motohama snapped out of their shock, turning their heads robotically and came face to face with the source of the familiar voice.

There, standing there with a frown, a clearly displeased look and a hand on her hip, that guy's sister looked at them.

They just stared at her in shock without showing any physical reaction, while looking at her, the girl spoke again.

"So, are you guys going to just stand there like idiots or are you going to give me some explanation?"

And the words she said finally caused a reaction in the three of them, making them snap out of their shock as they fumbled to regain their composure.

And with that, the first to speak of the three was Motohama.

"D-don't worry, there's nothing wrong going on, right guys?" — Motohama spoke as he poked Issei in the side.

Receiving the signal, Issei continued. — "Okay, everything's fine, right Matsuda?"

And just like Motohama, Issei elbowed Matsuda in the side, prompting him to respond.

"Y-yes, it's okay." — He responded, but the tearful tone in his voice still remained.

Looking at them now with an eyebrow raised in a clear expression of distrust, Mari observed their strange behaviors without saying anything for a moment, speaking only when they seemed to get uncomfortable with the look.

"If nothing happened, then why was that weird bald guy grabbing Saya?" — Her calm tone sounded eerily familiar to someone else's tone.

Feeling a shiver without knowing why, Motohama and Issei didn't know how to respond, with Motohama even muttering in a failed attempt. — "Well, about that...uh..."

Matsuda, who was still processing the situation, ran his hands over his head as he muttered, almost shedding a tear. — "Weird bald..."

Seeing that they had no answer, Mari turned to the girl behind her and asked. — "What happened?"

The girl stood behind her with her arms still raised defensively, with the question asked, she shifted her gaze to the other three with a hesitant expression as she began to speak.

"Uh, I was walking back to our class when I heard someone shouting towards me, when I looked I saw that bald senpai running up to me with a strange expression."

Mari looked at the three seeing that two of them had tight smiles while the said bald man patted her head with a tearful expression, she then turned her gaze to Saya as the girl continued.

"After he got closer, he said some weird things before asking me out, I refused and then he started acting weird and grabbing me by the shoulders until you arrived."

With the girl finishing explaining, Mari turned her gaze to the three and stared at them as she spoke. — "Saya, you don't know who these three are, do you?"

"Uh? Who are they?" — The girl Saya asked with a confused expression as she looked at Mari.

Crossing her arms, Mari continued to face them while speaking in a calm tone. — "These three are the infamous perverted trio, that trio of pathetic idiots who spy on girls and talk about porn for everyone to hear."

Issei twitched as if he had been punched in the stomach upon hearing what Mari called him, Motohama had the corner of his mouth twitching as he pushed his glasses up while muttering. — "P-pathetic?" 

Matsuda seemed to not have heard Mari's words as he continued to stroke his head and mutter 'bald'.

Upon hearing Mari's words, Saya frowned, she looked at the trio in disgust as she asked in a weak tone in confirmation. — "Serious?"

Mari nodded as she continued to speak calmly. — "Yes, that's them, even though I thought they were a bunch of losers, I still considered them harmless for never going beyond what they already do, not that what they already do isn't despicable enough, but it seems like this time they've decided to fall even further this time."

The look of disgust on Saya's face grew as she looked at them behind Mari.

And Issei and Motohama's faces twitched at the meaning of her words.

While still looking at them with a calm gaze, Mari spoke with the same tone of voice that sounded strangely familiar and frightening. — "So? What happened? Did you guys get tired of just spying and decided to go straight to sexual assault?"

With the question asked by her, Motohama was the first to respond.

"But of course not! What the hell are you talking about!?" — Motohama's response came with an indignant tone as he pointed at her.

Issei beside him seemed equally indignant at the meaning of her words.

Mari just looked at them calmly while raising an eyebrow, her gaze speaking for itself.

Upon being stared at by her like that, Motohama's indignation withered as he spoke softly. — "Well, I mean, we may be perverts, but we are gentlemen."

Receiving a judgmental look from the girl behind, Motohama continued trying to explain himself. — "Kuhum, I mean we're more than happy to just spy, we'd never force ourselves on a girl."

Issei beside Motohama quickly nods his head in silent agreement.

With Saya behind her giving them an even stronger look of judgment and disgust, Mari now with a calm expression spoke dryly. — "You know that this "explanation" you gave doesn't improve your situation, right?"

"I-It doesn't matter, I just can't let you defame our name." — Motohama spoke while pushing up his glasses and Issei beside him nodded but with a strange expression on his face.

Then, looking back, Motohama slapped Matsuda on the head.

Slap—

"Hey idiot, stop raving and help us out here, we're in this situation because of you."

With the slap to the head, Matsuda was snapped out of his reverie state as he regained focus, he then looked at Motohama and Issei in confusion.

Seeing her confused expression, Motohama rolled his eyes before speaking. — "That girl thinks you were trying to sexually assault that other girl and now she's accused the three of us of being sexual predators."

"Uh?" — Matsuda kept the confused expression on his face as he processed the words until he finally understood.

With his face changing into a serious expression, Matsuda shifted his gaze towards Mari and Saya as he spoke in a tone equally serious as his face. — "I'm sorry but you can't accuse us of such a thing, we are perverts but we are knights, we are more than happy to just spy, we would never attack a girl like that."

While Mari gave them a dry look and Saya looked at them with more disgust, Motohama looked at Matsuda and shook his head while Issei made the same gesture.

Looking at them confused for a moment until he thought he understood as he quickly bowed as he said. — "That being said, I'm sorry for my behavior, I wasn't in my best judgment, I apologize for scaring you!"

Motohama and Issei let out sighs of relief upon seeing this.

The girl Saya blinked her eyes in surprise when she saw this, Mari just continued to stare at them in silence until she muttered dryly. — "Wow, what a surprise."

Her tone made it clear that she was not swayed by what he said, on the contrary, it was a response that she found predictable.

Mari continued to face them calmly while speaking in the same tone. — "You know that the answer you gave doesn't improve your image, right?"

"I know, I know, but try to be understanding, I wasn't in the best of moods!" — Matsuda exclaimed as he clasped his hands together.

"And what does your state of mind have to do with it? This seems to be just an excuse that is worse than the previous one." — Mari questioned him with a dry look.

"That's not an excuse, I just wasn't in my right mind because..." — Matsuda started to explain himself, but stopped when he remembered the cause of his behavior.

"Because what?" — Mari asked, still looking dry.

"Uh..." — Scratching his head, Matsuda didn't look directly at her as he tried to think of an excuse.

He wouldn't say he was acting like this because he was afraid of her brother, that would be very humiliating for him, (even if he had no reputation to maintain) he still had his masculine pride.

But while he thought of an excuse, Mari decided she had had enough of the three of them.

"Alright, I've had enough of this, enjoy the rest of your day, because I'm sure the student council won't like this." — She said, turning around.

And seeing this, Matsuda, Motohama and Issei began to panic.

"W-wait, please! Let's talk about it!"

"C-calm down! There must be a way to resolve this peacefully!"

Issei and Motohama gestured quickly as they spoke in an attempt to change her mind.

Seeing the failed attempt and being the main perpetrator, Matsuda decided to try it himself.

"Wait!" — He reached out his hand, with the girl turning around and looking at him sideways, he immediately knelt down.

"Please, I ask you to search for kindness in your heart and forgive me for my mistake, I will do whatever it takes to redeem myself!" — Matsuda spoke with a serious expression as he clasped his hands together in a kneeling position.

Issei and Motohama looked hopefully at her waiting for the answer.

Mari looked at him silently with an unimpressed expression, then a faint smile appeared on her face as she responded.

 "No."

With that answer shattering their hopes, they looked at her with devastated faces as she, still with a faint smile on her face, turned away again.

While Issei and Motohama remained in defeated silence, Matsuda gritted his teeth as he decided to go further.

He intended to bow down completely and press his forehead to the ground, his masculine pride wouldn't be as important if he was expelled from school.

...After all, his male pride wasn't as important as staying in this place full of pretty girls that was school, he couldn't be expelled anyway!

He cannot be expelled from this wonderful school!

Then, without hesitation, he was about to bow while loudly shouting for forgiveness.

But another familiar female voice interrupted him.

"What did these three idiots do this time?"

That feminine voice made everyone stop and look in the direction it came from, and looking to the side, the five saw a girl with brown hair, double braids and glasses.

And the trio immediately recognized her, with Issei's face turning sour, Matsuda's face twitching, and the corner of Motoham's mouth twitching as he muttered.

"Kiryuu...-san!"

Looking out of the corner of her eye and seeing how the trio reacted to the girl, Mari looked back at her, seeing how the girl smiled slightly at the three before looking away at her.

Seeing this, Mari asked her. — "Do you want to know what they did?"

Coming close, Aika stopped as she placed her hands on her hips and looking at Mari with a smile, she replied. — "Exactly." 

Seeing how the girl smiled calmly at her, Mari decided to stay and respond. — "Well, long story short, that weird bald guy over there was acting weirder than usual and grabbed my friend here when I arrived, I was about to report them to the student council when you arrived."

Losing her smile and looking at the trio, Aika raised an eyebrow as she asked. — "Are you serious, Matsuda-kun? Have you reached the point where you want to attack a girl directly?"

"It's not that!" — Matsuda exclaimed, raising his arms to the sky, the tearful tone in his voice was evident.

"Sigh, it's not exactly like that." — Motohama said with a sigh, pushing up his glasses.

"The situation is a little...uh, complicated." — Issei said with a strange tone as he rubbed the back of his head.

As Aika looked at him suspiciously at those answers, she heard that girl speaking to her.

"Excuse me, but do you know them?"

Looking away from her, Aika replied calmly. — "Yes, I know these three idiots, we are actually in the same class."
