[Mitsuzane's blatant ignoring of Ryouma didn't go unnoticed by either man. Takatora didn't say anything in response and neither did Ryouma, though the professor stared intently at Mitsuzane as though trying to put pressure on the other to respond.

Even if it was only in front of Ryouma, Takatora couldn't allow himself to relax as long as he was working.]
