Fired up
Just when our situation had just started going in our desired direction, Hana’s challenging declaration fired up the girls more than I thought.
It’s actually the first time that they have been like this. They clearly expressed their desire not to back down against the challenge.
Shizu’s possessive declaration failed to produce that same effect. I mean, with how she’s accepting of my relationship with the others, everyone treated that as the girl’s stubbornness to accept that she’s one of the many.
Yue’s introduction earlier also didn’t cause that much of a problem. They even welcomed her excitedly. But thinking about it, Yue clearly expressed how she wanted to fit in. She easily accepted that she couldn’t be the only one.
In this case, Hana openly and courageously stated how she desired to steal me using any means possible. It’s a declaration of war… with me as the trophy.
