I SENSED SOMEONE APPROACHING US from behind, moving quickly. It was obvious from their movement that they didn’t want to miss the chance to see me and Kei in close proximity to each other like this.

“Yo, Karuizawa. Oh, and Ayanokouji too.”

It was Hashimoto, who had been hiding his presence and tailing after me since I left the lobby.

“…Uh, who is he?” Kei, not seeming to know who Hashimoto was, looked to me for an answer.

“Hashimoto, from Class A. I was with him during the school camp.”

After greeting us, Hashimoto approached Kei.

“Whoa, for a guy and a girl to have a secret rendezvous like this… you’re quite the smooth operator, aren’t ya, Ayanokouji?”

I’d known Hashimoto would try to make contact eventually. So this was the moment he’d chosen, huh? In that case, I’d just have to turn his plans to my own benefit.

“It’s not like we’re really doing any—”

“Don’t try to hide it. It’s Valentine’s Day. Even if you’re not dating, I’m not surprised you two set up a whole secret rendezvous. In fact, it looks like you got something from her,” said Hashimoto. He’d witnessed me receiving chocolate from Kei and immediately putting it in my bag.

“She just happened to give me chocolates by coincidence. It wasn’t like we were meeting intentionally.”

I tried to deny it, but Hashimoto snickered, seeing through my excuse. “No, come on, man. You knew she was going to be giving you chocolates from the very beginning, didn’t you? I mean, your bag.”

“My bag?”

“You already went back to your dorm room, so there was no reason for you to bring your school bag when you went back out. Right?”

“…Well, I was actually planning on heading over to the library originally. It’s just that Karuizawa called me right before I left, and I agreed to meet her. That’s what happened.”

“So…you’re saying it’s just a coincidence, then?”

I nodded in response to Hashimoto’s question, then took two books out of my school bag, showing them to him.

“Well, it’s all the same, in any case. You still got chocolate from Karuizawa, anyway.” From Hashimoto’s point of view, it didn’t matter that I hadn’t been the one who reached out to Karuizawa. What mattered was the fact that I had gotten chocolate from her.

“I don’t really get it, but… Is there some kind of problem?” I asked.

“I’m just curious about why she’s attracted to you is all. I mean, come on, Karuizawa’s ex is Hirata. One of the most popular guys in the entire school, you know? So, what, she picks you after dumping Hirata?”

So he wanted to know how things had gotten to this point. Kei, who had been listening in silence so far, opened her mouth to speak.

“Uh, sorry, but I think there’s kind of a misunderstanding here.”

“Misunderstanding?”

“Yeah. I actually meant to give the chocolate to Hirata-kun originally. But I kinda thought it would be, like, a waste to just throw it away. So, I thought I’d give it to someone, and I just happened to choose Ayanokouji-kun,” said Kei.
