On the one hand Gongenzaka is definitely not an idiot and probably doesn't have 100% faith that Hector will, in fact, cold turkey cut this shit out. On the other hand, he sure would be bad as an option for a lycanthrope school if he didn't keep trying when there was the slightest hint that they could get a bit closer to that.

"Of course!" He means what he says. "I do not say what I do not mean!" Even so, he at least nods and makes an effort to keep his head on his shoulders, moving aside slightly to let Hector lead the way.

"Hn! Let us go then!"

(Well, at least he doesn't get kicked out in the end.)
