After the principal had finished his relatively long speech with little meat to it, the students left the grounds for the school in small groups.

Taiyou stood there and turned to Youran.

He thought he wanted to hear more about her thoughts about the student president.

As he began to open his mouth to ask, his friend Katsuki shouted out to him.

「Hey, Natsuno-kun! I got something to ask you…hey, who’s this hot girl you’re with?!」

Katsuki was in the middle of talking and noticed Youran, stopped, and was stunned so much his upper half bent back in an exaggerated awe.

With that loud, vocal overreaction, the students remaining in the school grounds turned their attention towards them.

This bad, Taiyou thought. Since Youran wasn’t a student, it might be hard to suddenly react to Katsuki’s words.

「Well, um… you see…」

「Did we ever have a super hot babe like this at the school? No, no way we did!」

As he sad that, he was suddenly cut short.

Why did he stop talking so suddenly? Taiyou silently thought with a tilt of his head.

「A pleasure to meet you. My name is Yurikago.」

Though Taiyou was in a rush to get her out of there, Youran calmly introduced herself.

He was surprised to hear her utter that nostalgic name again, but Katuski accepted the name she said without hesitation.

「I see! Which class are you in, Yurikago? What year? Are you a transfer student?」

「My – sec – ret.」

She said mischievously, as she put her index finger to her lips with a wink.

「Ugyaaaaah!」

Almost as if he had been shot, Katsuki put his hand to his heart and pretended to be knocked back.

It was the classic pose of a man being shot by Cupid’s arrow.

「He’s going too far again…」

「He really is, desu.」

Taiyou responded with a whisper, as Hera agreed.

However, they were the only ones that thought it an over-exaggeration.

As Katsuki was talking, another male student barged in. With a high of nearly 190cm/6 and a half feet, he was a strong looking member of the basketball team.

「I’ve always loved you, please date me!」

「Nice to meet you the first time, and no, I can’t.」

She smiled, but with a compassionless dismissal turned him down.

The strong-willed basketball player slumped his shoulders and dejectedly turned around.

「You idiot!」「Confessing your love like that, die!」「You’ve been turned down by the 50th girl, die!」

Guys that were waiting and seemed like his friends spewed out insult after insult at the student.

They don’t have to go that far…Taiyou thought.

(Well, even so… maybe he’s better off being turned down. That girl’s dangerous in some ways.)

『Shingetsu no Kami』or Youran, he remembered what it was like to get mixed up with her.

Taiyou remembered getting shot at by a rocket because of her and so it seemed like avoiding her was best.

(I wonder what will get fired at me next?)

He thought, but was still a bit interested to see where their roads would lead next.

「Hey, Natsuno, so you know this Yurikago?」

「Yeah, well, um…」

He turned to Katsuki, and wondered in his mind how to answer that question.

「As a friend, I guess you could say.」

He turned to her as if to confirm what he had said about their relationship.

「Of course we are!」

「Okay!」

Not only Katsuki, but everyone around them seemed to react in wonder.

「You really are something! All that stuff this morning and friends with Yurikago too? And friends with Kotone, Suzune, and Kazane!」

「Something? Really?」

「Yeah!」

「It’s not really that much. This morning was just what it was, and making friends with people isn’t that big of a deal.」

「No, you really are awesome, right everyone?!」

As Katsuki asked, everyone around agreed, yeah, wow, as the voices affirmed what he was saying.

Taiyou wasn’t as annoyed by all the fawning over as one would think.

The fact that Youran was friends with him had no real value to him but more to Youran, but he wasn’t put off by being told it, regardless.

Suddenly, he remembered that Youran had said the same thing about him as well, and he looked over at her.

「That reminds me, what happened to him this morning?」

She met eyes with him, and she asked.

「You’re right!」

Katsuki responded excitedly, and told Youran the whole incident about the car.

A car had sped into the street, and Taiyou had stopped it, as Katsuki described the scene passionately as if he himself had seen it happen.

「Really?」

Youran said with a laugh, the opposite expression of Katsuki, who thought it a bad reaction.

「It IS something.」
