I don't know whether it was because she saw me injure my shoulder to save her, or perhaps Miss Kaori is truly frugal, but eventually the girl in the hospital bed bit into the piece of apple and began to chew gently.

Shirakawa Sawahei met the gaze of his family's Little Arrogant Study Girl. Normally, when she looked at him, there was always a confident and mysterious glow in her eyes. He always felt that Miss Kaori's deeper essence was like a cat—cats are actually very cruel hunters; they play with their prey to hone their hunting skills as much as allowed.
Though it doesn't sound very lead-like to say so, Shirakawa Sawahei indeed felt that sometimes, Miss Kaori looked at him as if he were an interesting prey.
