"W-what?"
The Professor's face suddenly twists, expressing sheer surprise at my words.
His previously composed demeanor crumbles before my simple questioning, and the more my gaze of scrutiny rests on him, the further it diminishes.
I laugh silently, chiding myself in my mind.
Why am I teasing such a good professor? He must be anxious at the moment, wondering if his tightly kept secret has been let out. But he doesn't have to worry too much, since I don't plan to tell anyone.
In fact, I want to help him a little.
"The honest truth is that you're too sloppy with your methods. Both of you are too honest, and it's easy to deduce that something is up between you two. Sooner or later, as long as an interested party puts in just a bit of effort, they'll find out."
Klein's face immediately pales.
He is definitely worried, and I can see that his mind is spiraling in all kinds of ways.
There's no need for him to freak out, though.
