We finish our conversation with Yuuji and continue to eat our lunches.

“Hey, Mizuki, is there anything troubling you?”

“Hey? I, I’m not bothered, you know?”

“It’s useless to lie, Mizuki. Your lies are easily seen through.”

“Uu..e, even if you say so, Minami-chan, you look even weirder. You’re more worrying than me!”

“Ah..ahahahaha. I’m alright, I managed to deal with it!”

“I-I’m alright as well. There’s no need to worry!”

“So it means it’s settled, right?”

“..According to the plan, it’ll be settled after a while.”

“After a while will mean..”

“Once we beat A class, everyone will have a happy ending.”

“Fm..so we just need to win in order to settle this?”

“Yes!”

“Sorry, but you’re not involved in some bad or weird thing, right?”

“Yes!”

“Really? Since you say so, Mizuki, I’ll believe you then.”

“Sorry to make you worry..”

“Don’t worry about this..speaking of which, this really feels like the summoning tournament during the cool summer festival.”

“Summoning tournament?”

“Yes. You had something bothering you, Mizuki, and I asked you and you said that winning can solve everything in the end.”

“Ahh..”

“Isn’t it similar?”

“You’re..right..”

“..It’s really..feels like..that time..”
