There was a silent tension between the three, especially when Kanata was still hugging Tsukasa’s arm on her chest.

While Ayase didn’t understand anything, she could tell that there was something weird about the atmosphere. She didn’t know what to do and only looked at the three repeatedly without knowing what to do.

Ayase wasn’t sure, but she had a feeling that a big fight might happen, so if the fight really happened, she would save Tsukasa.

Tsukasa didn’t know what Ayase was thinking, and even if he knew, he didn’t have time to think about it since he needed to think about the countermeasure of the problem in front of him.

Touka’s eyes couldn’t be seen. The lenses of her glasses hid them. However, they seemed ominous for some reason, and they were like a storm that was about to raze the entire country.

Kanata was stuck there, and she didn’t know what to do since she just didn’t expect to see Touka when they were about to return. She wanted to explain, but no words came out of her mouth.

“…What are you two doing?” Touka asked after a pause.

During the storm, the rain had always accompanied it.

While Tsukasa couldn’t see the rain, he could see tears were about to come out from Touka’s eyes. “Sorry.” He didn’t mean this to Touka. Instead, he said this word to Kanata as he walked toward Touka. “Touka-nee, can you follow me a bit?”

“Eh?” Touka was confused, but before she reacted, she was pulled by Tsukasa somewhere.

When Tsukasa walked away, Kanata awoke and saw him get away from his arms. Hearing the “sorry” word that came from his mouth, she could only let out a long sigh, feeling disappointed but also glad at the same time.

Kanata was disappointed since Tsukasa moved toward Touka right away, but she was also glad that she wouldn’t hurt her childhood friend.

The three had been childhood friends together, and of course, Kanata didn’t want to hurt Touka.

However, the reality said otherwise since they fell for the same man.

While Kanata knew that Touka had gotten Tsukasa’s first, she just didn’t want to give up and threatened him as she kissed him. She felt that Touka was sneaky for taking his first, but at the same time, she also knew what she did was wrong, especially when she had a fiance and their relationship couldn’t be allowed by her parents.

However…

‘How can I give up, right?’

Still, when Kanata saw that Touka was almost hurt, she started to wonder whether what she was doing was right.

Kanata just wasn’t sure what to do, but one thing for sure, she didn’t want to give up on Tsukasa, and she also didn’t want to hurt Touka.

“Um… Totokubara-san?”

Kanata turned and looked at Ayase, only remembering that this girl was here. “Ayatsuji-san, can you keep this matter a secret?”

“Um… I…” There were many questions on Ayase’s head, but it was just too hard to ask, so she just subconsciously asked this question out, “Wh-What’s your relationship with Kugayama-kun?”

“…You’re really bold.” Kanata was speechless, then said, “I don’t mind telling you, but if you talk, then…” Her sweet smile seemed so scary, and from her expression, she was ready to erase Ayase’s family without hesitation.
