“Alright. I’m going. Have fun, you three. I’ll see you later. And Shio… Good luck.”

I said as I stood before the front door, ready to leave after preparing everything and making sure that the girls were also aware of my whereabouts for today.

“… If only it is that easy, Akane…” Shio was still not convinced. “Uh, Mirae-chan. Do you think the same?”

“Yes. Even now, you’re different when you’re at school, Kinoshi—Uh… Shiori-nee. Though, you’re a little obvious with your fondness for Ruki whenever he’s coming to pick you up after class.”
