Episode 6

　A week has passed since the gym uniform changing problem .

　We somehow managed to return each other's things, and although we can say that everything was safe, our beloved daily lives returned.

　However, two things have changed since the incident.

"Impurity sexual intercourse..."

"…………"

　When I entered the classroom, as if a sensor had reacted, Usami turned towards me and shot me a meaningful look.

"Hey Aika. I told you it was a misunderstanding, right?"

"I've decided to steer in a more interesting direction."

"Stop that."

　Tohsaka sighs in exasperation.

　Then she looks at me with an apologetic look.　

　The first reason is that Usami, who is always with Tohsaka, has caught her eye like this.

　And the second one is,

"Good morning, Rintaro."

"Oh, Reo. You're late today."

"Maybe it's because I'm still growing, but I'm on my third bowl of rice now."

"If it gets any bigger, it will affect population density."

"Just how big do you think I'm going to get..."

　Reo smiles modestly.

　Suddenly, I noticed Tohsaka and Usami looking at me, and they looked at me and Tohsaka before slightly raising their eyebrows.

"...Huh?"

"What's with that reaction? If you have something to say, say it clearly. Later."

"That's the moment I want you to say 'now' with confidence, as a man."

　The second reason is that Reo has started trying to tease me about strange things related to Tohsaka.

　This is absolutely annoying and bothersome.

"…………"

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Hmm? What's the matter Usami?"

　Usami looks suspiciously back and forth between me and Reo.

"Oh, Aika?"

"...That's fine too."

"Aika?!"

　Usami nodded in strange understanding.

　Even without her saying it, we can understand what Usami was imagining and what her intentions were when she made that statement.

　Reo seemed to feel the same way, as he looked at me with a blank, dopey look on his face.

"Yes, it is possible."

"That would be more interesting."

"What are you two saying..."

　Tohsaka muttered, sounding a bit troubled by what Reo and I said.

　after school.

"The sports festival is coming up soon."

"Yeah. Hearing about the sports festival kind of makes me feel like it's summer. It feels a little hot, too."

"Yeah."

　While having a casual conversation with Reo, we enter a fast food restaurant marked with alphabet marks.

　Just when I thought it was finally cooler, the store was crowded and I was greeted with dense air instead.

"Wow, it's really crowded."

"Looking at it, it's mostly guys from my high school. Well, it's exam period and club activities are banned, so I guess everyone is thinking the same thing."

"I can definitely concentrate better if I study at home."

"You came here because you can't concentrate at home..."

　Reo sighed openly.

　I feel like sighing too.

　If this continues, I won't be able to sit down and study.

　To put it more bluntly, you can't have Reo teach you while munching on potatoes.

"I wonder if there's a seat available somewhere?"

　Looking around the store.

　Despite being the largest restaurant in front of the station, every table was filled and it looked like there were no vacancies.

"Hmm... Ah."

"What's wrong, Rintaro ?"

"No, I saw a familiar face."

"Where is it?"

"That pink head over there."

"It's a very rude way of informing people, but it's accurate."

　Ahead of us, on a four person table spread out her study materials on a table, Usami groaning as she struggled, her head shaking from side to side.

"Maybe she will let me share a table? There's only one person using a four-person table."

"No, there must be other people there. Judging from the remains of the items on the table, there are at least three more people."

"You can't rule out the possibility that Usami is a big eater, can you?"

"At the same time, you'll be confirmed as a monster customer who will monopolize a four-seater seat by yourself. Monkama for short."

"Don't abbreviate or make up new words."

　But, from my point of view, I'm sure there's one more person... Just as I was thinking this, I saw two male students approaching Usami's seat.

　One has blonde hair and the other has short hair.

　Clearly, both of them have their sights set on Usami.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Would you like to chat with us for a bit?"

"……-_-?"

　Usami's eyes were filled with caution.

"How cliche..."

"That's a West High uniform. No wonder he looks so lawless on the street."

"That looks like a bad face."

　Reo sighed, as if exasperated by my statement.

　Meanwhile the blonde put his hands on the table with a faint smile.

"You're so cute! Haha, I'm surprised. Are you a model or something?"

"I haven't done it though."

"Then she's an idol! Definitely in the entertainment industry."

"I am just a normal, cute high school girl."

　She just said that she is cute.

"Well, can you not see it? I'm studying right now. I'm busy, so can you ask someone else?"

　Usami glared at the two men and pointed at the teaching materials.

　However, the men pay no attention to Usami's open hostility and continue to approach her.

"That's fine, that's fine! I guess I'll just take a little break."

"Huh? This isn't a break."

"Of course it does! You know, talking to people makes you feel at ease, right?"

"If it's a person, that is."

""""

　The two men take a slight step back after hearing Usami's words.

　Those words packed quite a punch. If they had hit in the wrong place, it could have been fatal.

"Usami is strong."

"She's such a cute looking girl. Well, that's not surprising at all."

　Usami returned her gaze to the study materials as if to say, "That's the end of the story."

　Perhaps taken aback by Usami's cold attitude, the men froze for a few seconds, and then, unable to back down any longer, they forced themselves to sit next to Usami.

"Hey!? Hey, can you please not sit next to me without permission?"

"You're pretty guarded. But I guess that's what makes you cute, don't you think?"

「I know what you mean! I'm really good at conquering things, you know? Just give us a little bit of your time!」

"You're such a nuisance, go home now!"

"Don't say that."

　Even Usami looked confused and distorted by the two persistent men.

　I exchanged looks with Reo, who was watching next to me, and we both nodded at the same time.

"I can't just stand by and watch this happen any more."

"Right."

　I walk alongside Reo to Usami's seat.

　And just as we about to call out to the persistent men...

"That's my seat."

　Her clear, beautiful voice passes through her smooth throat and makes the air vibrate.

　The two men turned towards the voice and froze with their mouths hanging open.

　Its slender figure is the very definition of beauty.

　Her entrance was like that of a prince riding a white horse, and I couldn't help but let out a gasp of admiration.

"Can you get out of the way quickly?"

　Tohsaka spoke coldly, bringing out all the sharpness that her beauty exuded, and glared at the men.

　In Tohsaka's hands, even an ordinary, unadorned store like this can be transformed into a first-class stage.

　At that moment, I realized that beauty is not limited to the location
