This sentence almost froze Arakawa Reina's blood. Please, please don't recognize me! she inwardly begged. The usually non-religious girl prayed to any god who would listen, desperate for her classmates not to recognize her.
Takahashi Saeko glanced her way, shook her head, and said, "I don't find her familiar."
"Indeed. If we'd seen such a pretty girl before, we would have remembered her."
Tama Chan echoed the sentiment, not noticing the class president's disguise.
It was mainly because Arakawa Reina's classroom image was completely different from her current appearance. Unless someone observed her very closely on a regular basis, or was like Ayatsuki Ayaka who could recognize people by instinct, it would be difficult to spot the difference.
I'm so relieved, Arakawa Reina thought.
"Is that so? I always feel like I've seen her somewhere," Ayatsuki Ayaka muttered, not pressing the issue further.
Arakawa Reina hastily said with a smile, "This way, please, Masters."
