I sat kneeling respectfully right in front of Erina-senpai's desk, keeping my head low as I explained yesterday's absence. I completely omitted the absurd truth about being chased by girls and knocked out, simply making up an excuse that an urgent personal matter had tied me down. Erina-senpai sat in her office chair with her legs crossed, holding documents and a pen. Though she had a petite stature, her furrowed brow and piercing glare exuded an extraordinary amount of authority. Hearing that I went completely out of touch, she snapped her documents shut, scolding me severely: "Even if you were tied down by personal matters, are you telling me you didn't even have a single second to send a text?! Do you have any idea how worried I was about you yesterday?! Reporting to your senior immediately is basic common sense, this attitude of yours is truly unacceptable!"
