A question about something that I couldn't figure out: what was with the irritated reaction from Saki after Maria was done reading the story about the kid and the ogre? They were acting all friendly just a minute earlier.

It probably has to do with their earlier conversation when Saki said she wasn't good with the subject of Fiends and Karma Demons. Maria's response was that the class is actually more interesting because nothing is uncensored. Later after Maria's reading session, she looked at Saki as if to say, "I told you it was going to be interesting." And judging from Saki's reaction, she obviously enjoyed, but still stubborn to admit to Mari. Hence, the quick admission of defeat with a "hmph."

That was my take anyway.
