Kotoha and Ichijo glare at each other. There isn’t that much time until the… departure time, and more than anything, the stares from the surroundings hurt, so please stop.

But…

“Useless? Tsuzuri-kun, did you just say useless? This is an important exchange to crush this lowly thieving cat! There are some battles a woman can’t lose!”

My modest words were obliterated by a fierce protest from Kotoha.

Yeah, I mean, Kotoha is either careless or unaware. That’s like saying you like me, right?

“Hey, you three! Stop talking and get on the bus!”

I don’t know why he always comes at such a good time, but he does.

“…-sensei!”
