Then we started eating.

Rino-chan kept quiet and didnt even touch her chopsticks.

The reason was because Mikoto was next to her.

I dont approve of you, okay? Hmm?

She kept glaring at Rino-chan like this.

I stood up and pulled Mikoto away from Rino-chan.

Stop it! I dont approve of it! I dont accept this new woman!

I thought you approved Eda!

I, its okay Nee-san!

Shirota and Mia were talking, not paying any attention to us.

Eda, who was looking at me, was not going to say anything.

In the first place, your opinion doesnt matter!

Why not!? Im also Koumeis girlfriend! I have the right to refuse!

Mia is the only one who has the right to refuse!

Discrimination! Intra-girlfriend discrimination!

Intra-girlfriend discrimination. A new word was born.

Somehow I managed to pull Mikoto away from Rino-chan and I took her to Eda.

Please do something about this idiot.

Dont call me an idiot! Koumei is the idiot! Baaka!

Mikoto, be quiet.

Yes.

It was the voice of a crane.

Mikoto unconditionally obeyed Edas words.

No, what happened, really.

When I returned to my seat, I said to Rino-chan, who was sitting next to me.

Im sorry, her name is Mikoto, shes my childhood friend.

Ah..Thats why you were so close.

Are we close?

Rino-chan finally picked up her chopsticks.

Mikoto, who sat beside Eda, became terribly demure and quiet.

Shirota and Mia were chatting happily.

I.

Rino-chan suddenly said.

I was the only one who was listening.

I dont think I can compete with them.

Eh?

Mia-san, Shirota-san, Eda-san and Mikoto-san

Rino-chan said that she came here to declare war.

But when she saw the four of them, her will seemed to have faded away.

I lost before I even fought.

Then why dont you just try to fight them?

I heard Mias voice.

It seemed that she heard what Rino-chan said.

She seemed to know why Rino-chan was here, as Shirota had explained.

Its a strange relationship, but Im sure itll be fun.

Yes?

After carefully setting down her chopsticks, Mia smiled at Rino-chan.

I was confused at first, but now I like it a lot. Ive been able to make friends with Mikoto-chan and Shirota-san. I also made up with Eda-san.

But youre Okutani-sans girlfriend, right?

Before I knew it, everyone was listening to what Mia and Rino-chan had to say.

I nodded and Mia laughed even more.

Yes, everyones Koumeis girlfriend.

If then, you want to be the only one for him, you want him to only look at you, that kind of thing!

Yes.

Mia looked me straight in the eyes.

There seemed to be no lies in her eyes.

But as much as I want him to only be mine, or as much as I want him to only look at me, its more than that. I think the relationship I have with everyone here is also important.

II dont understand.

Rino-chan shook her head, still unsure of what to say.

Maa, usually, yes. But since we got to know each other like this, and since we like the same person, dont you think we can get along?

..get along?

I think its a shame to decide the outcome first.

The words that Mia said had a mysterious power.

I have no intention of discriminating against them.

However, Mia was still a very special person to me.

I dont know whats going to happen. Bad things may happen as a result. But something good might happen as well.

Thats right, but.

I think that if you decide ahead of time that things wont work out, then thats how it will turn out.

At last Rino-chan became silent.

Smiling like a honeycomb, Mia said.

To sum it up. I want to be friends with Rino-chan too.

Rino didnt answer at all.

It was Eda who unexpectedly broke the silence.

Thank you for your kind words, Kurusu-san.

Ill take it as a compliment.

No matter how you look at it, Eda was probably being sarcastic.

Mia replied sarcastically.

Just when she said we should get along. The two of them create a delicate atmosphere.

I cant imagine what the future holds.

Then, heres my proposal.

The beautiful woman in the kimono straightened up a bit.

On summer vacation. Lets go out with all the people here.

Going out?

Shirota curiously looked at Edas face.

Smiling at her best friend, Eda looked at Mikoto next to her.

Mikoto-san, please explain.

Yes.

My childhood friend, who got tamed by Eda, stood up.

For some time now, Nee-san has been planning a summer vacation getaway for all of us.

For a long time. Its like revealing that they have known each other for a long time. However, there was no one who would poke fun at them now, and it seems that they had no intention of hiding it.

So, were going to borrow my sisters familys villa at Mt. Omuro for a three-day, two-night trip.

Eh? Staying overnight?

The one who sounded troubled was Shirota.

Im sure shes worried about her club activities.

Dont worry, Yotsuba. Ill fit it into the softball teams schedule.

Eda immediately replied.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Mikoto took over.

And with that, everyone! Im looking forward to getting along with you!

It seems that Mikotos character is collapsing more and more.
