While Usa slumped on the bench in a daze, unable to get up, feeling exhausted by the trial he had encountered, Shishio and Shiina were alright, and they didnt seem to be affected by the haunted house.

On the other hand, the reaction of Ritsu and Hikigaya was slightly strange. They were tired and didnt want to move, but many of them could see some blushes on their faces.

While they didnt seem surprised by Ritsus blush, they felt strange by Hikigayas blush, and they must admit it was quite disgusting.

Oi!

Hikigaya wasnt sure, but he felt someone was thinking something rude about him. Still, since he had walked out of the haunted house, he needed to calm his pounding heart. He knew the reason why his heart pounded because of the haunted house, and it definitely had nothing to do with a different reason.

Definitely!

Still, Shishio didnt know why, but he decided to put some distance with Hikigaya and talked with Yui, Yukinoshita, Rui, and Momo, wondering whether there was something they wanted to play.

Shiina was obedient since she played on a roller coaster and haunted house, listening to the story of the theme park around the country with stars in her eyes.

While they talked to each other, they decided to try another attraction.

Ritsu-senpai, do you want to come with us? Shishio asked.

Ritsu looked at Shishio for a moment before she looked at the girls around him before she said, Its alright, I need to take a rest for a while. She took out her book and opened the page where she had bookmarked before continuing to read it. However, she looked up and asked, Where are you going to play?

Mirror house, Shiina said.

Ritsu hesitated for a moment before she closed her books. Okay, lets play. Anyway, she could read her book later, and it was a rare time for her to play with everyone in the theme park. It might be her first time doing this since she usually puts her book as the first priority, yet this time, she didnt. Still, she didnt regret it and followed them.

Usa and Hikigaya were the same, and they also joined them since they might not come here shortly. The price of coming here also wasnt low either, so they didnt want to waste their money and continued to play around until they were dead tired.

Still, Usa was looking for a chance to confess, and hopefully, that chance would come before they went home. He looked at Shishios back and gave him a signal.

..

While Shishio was speechless, he only nodded helplessly, making Usa feel happy. Frankly, he hated this type of person who said they loved someone to their acquaintances, so their acquaintances wouldnt make a move on their crush.

Usa was like that, and it started to annoy him.

Still, Shishio had promised to help Usa, and this was the last time, whatever the result be.

However, Hikigaya frowned, but he didnt say anything since this wasnt his problem.

Since they had played all the attractions that gave them adrenaline, they played various others attractions with a happy smile.

Still, Ritsu kept staring at Shishio from time to time, feeling helpless and complex. She had always thought of Shishio as her friend, and he had always thought of her as his friend. There was nothing more, and there was nothing less. However, sometimes, she felt it might be wonderful when she thought of having a relationship with more than just a friend.

Still, Ritsu didnt know how Shishio felt about her. They might be friends, but she must admit she was troublesome and she was awkward. When she thought from the first time they met until now, she felt had always caused him trouble one after another. She also kept receiving help from him and wondered whether there was something she could do.

However, Ritsu knew she didnt think she could help him unless she could give him her

..

Ritsu was in silence and lowered her head since she felt embarrassed.

Whats wrong, Senpai? Nanami asked, feeling weird by Ritsus action.

It-Its okay. I-I am a little tired, Ritsu quickly said.

Ah, do you need to rest, Senpai? Do you need a drink? Usa, who heard Ritsus words, quickly said while looking around worriedly.

..

Its okay. Ritsu wasnt sure why Usa suddenly said all of that, but this was the only thing she could say. She looked at Nanami and said, Nanami, can you accompany me to rest?

Nanami was surprised, but she nodded. Okay.

The two walked on the bench and sat together, resting while talking to each other.

Usa looked at Ritsu for a while before he let out a long sigh, wondering whether there was a chance for them to be alone, but then he felt someone touch his shoulder. He turned and saw it was Hikigaya. Senpai?

Lets play for a while, Hikigaya said, knowing it was out of his character, but he felt it was necessary to do so since he could see how desperate he was. Furthermore, he had this type of experience in the past, so if possible, he wanted to calm Usa down.

However, was it possible?

Usa looked at Ritsu for a while before he reluctantly nodded. He could see Nanami would be there for a while, and it might take a while for them to talk, so it was better to spend his time playing since he also wanted to play for a bit.

Still, on this condition, Usa felt it was quite hard to play, and he just wanted to utter his real feeling to Ritsu.

When Usa and Hikigaya left, Nanami looked at Usas back before she shook her head. She then looked at Ritsu and asked, Whats wrong, Senpai?

No, I am just tired, but I dont want to be alone, Ritsu said frankly, but she wasnt sure why she said this. Still, she was dumbfounded when Nanami chuckled. Wh-Why did you laugh? She pouted and felt slightly annoyed.

I just didnt expect you to say this. After all, if it was before, would you say you didnt want to stay alone? Nanami said that she remembered how Ritsu would stay alone while reading books all the time, ignoring her surroundings.

Ritsu was silent since she knew Nanami was right. However, after she had stayed with Nanami and Shiina for a long time, she knew their relationship had become closer, and they became friends with each other.

Nanami didnt say anything and just sipped her cola. She didnt need to do hard work again, skip meals, or do anything to save her money since she was being taken care of by Shishio. If there was something hard, it was quite hard to take care of his sexual urge, and she only succumbed to him every time. However, she would be lying if she didnt like it.

Still, Nanami was somehow in a daze when she thought about their last play. She acted like a housemaid who was being forced by her master. While the play might be weird, she was so excited and cried even harder. Her nectar also kept dripping at that time, which made her want him to bullet her more.

However, Nanami knew this shouldnt be said to anyone, and it was better to keep this matter a secret.

The only thing that Nanami was worried about was whether it was okay for her to get excited about this matter.

Nanami didnt know, but as long as Shishio loved it, she would try it too.

Nanami, whats your relationship with Shishio? Ritsu suddenly asked, causing Nanami to choke.

Cough! Cough! The cola almost entered her nose, but she held it, and she was glad she didnt have to show an embarrassing scene. Still, she kept coughing hard since the cola entered her throat the wrong way.

Are you alright, Nanami? Ritsu panicked while patting Nanamis back from time to time.

Nanami had tears in her eyes, but she quickly got better before she sipped the cola again gently. She then let out a long sigh and said, I am okay, Senpai. She then looked at Ritsu and asked, But then, why did you suddenly ask that?

Well, I was just curious why you often stayed in his room for a few hours Ritsu murmured.

Nanami was in silence, and if Ritsu realized what she was doing, then shouldnt the others too?

Nanami thought for a moment and looked at Ritsu for a while. Dont tell anyone, but were in that kind of relationship.

.. Ritsu blinked her eyes and asked, That kind?

We had sex, Nanami said with a blush.

.. Ritsu opened her eyes wide, but she didnt scream or anything and only asked, You you arent dating, right? If it was another, she didnt overthink, but Nanami was different since she had never heard Nanami was dating Shishio. She only heard Nanami was working as his maid.

No.

..

Was it alright? Nanami asked.

Ritsu nodded since this was the question she wanted to ask.

I say it depends on who that person is, whether it is alright or not, but right now, I just want to be with him even if I cant become his lover, Nanami said firmly.

Be with him Ritsu murmured.

Well, you shouldnt put me as an example, Senpai. Nanami also knew her relationship with Shishio wasnt something one could be proud of, especially when they werent even lovers. Still, she was okay with it and satisfied with it. However, she would be lying if she didnt want their relationship to be even closer.

Ritsu nodded and didnt ask about Nanamis relationship again, and they talked about many things, but it was mostly about Shishio.

The time felt as if it moved so fast with a happy time.

Before long, it was already evening, and they thought about going back.

Still, before they returned, they wanted to ride on the Ferris wheel and take a picture together.

However, it might be deliberate or a coincidence when Ritsu was waiting for everyone while reading a book, Usa sat near her and suddenly asked, Senpai, do you have fun?

Ritsu looked up and saw it was Usa. Frankly, they werent particularly close, and they didnt really talk to each other besides greeting. Still being asked, she nodded since she had fun.

Thats great. Usa let out a sigh of relief.

Ritsu lowered her head again and continued to read her book, but Usa didnt let her.

Senpai Usa took a deep breath and asked, Can I ask something?

Ritsu wondered what Usa wanted to say and looked at him quietly. Do you want to say something?

Usa nodded and said, Senpai, I like you. Be my girlfriend.

..

Ritsu was in a daze, and she didnt expect she was being confessed out of the blue. If it was someone else, she would reject it without hesitation. Still, she had already had an answer on her mind, but she wondered whether it was okay to say this.

Senpai? Usa was so nervous that he felt his heart could jump out anytime. Still, he thought he would be accepted since he recalled how Ritsu would reject anyone without hesitation.

However

Sorry Ritsu apologized, and right now, she felt everything was so awkward, but she knew she couldnt be so rude, especially when Usa was Shishios friend. I cant accept your confession since I dont feel that way toward you. I am sorry. She then left after a moment of hesitation since she just didnt know what to say or react to at this moment.

On the other hand, Usa only sat there, turning white pale before disappearing into the dust.
