"Mars! Help me!"
"Don't push it. At that time, I split up and acted separately. I don't know the details of the battle..."
While saying so, Mars has a grin on his face for some reason.
Certainly, when Nozomu was confronting Anri-sensei, Mars wasn't there, so he may not be able to answer the question well. But surely, he was there for the other fight that followed.
Apparently, he was amused by Nozomu's mess, and Nozomu could only say, "you bastard!" to Mars while giving him a gaze full of grudge.
However, the storm of questions didn't seem to subside, and Nozomu had no choice but to stare at Mars while gnashing his teeth.
But he wasn't in an uncomfortable mood. Sure, it was frustrating to be teased by Mars, but there was nothing malicious about the way his classmates were looking at him.
It might be a temporary thing, and they might drift away again. In fact, the rest of his classmates who hadn't come to listen to Nozomu were still looking at him with suspicion.
Even so, for now, he was happy that his hard work had been recognized.
