The conversation about the Different World topic was lively in the tatami-floored living room. Hojo Shouko sat properly, listening to Phoenix Academy's Senior vividly talk about those experiences.
Yoshikawa Sayuri and Nomura True Wave joined in the chat centered around Phoenix Academy Maggie, yet without any sense of discord.
Under the brilliant light released by the young lady, others were like stars overshadowed by the moonlight.
Hojo Shouko quietly observed, her gaze passing with envy, occasionally looking at Aozawa, then quickly moving away.
In the art of brushing past someone without being seen, Hojo Shouko was quite experienced. She didn't want her frequent glances towards Aozawa-senpai to lead Phoenix Academy's Senior to misunderstand something.
She could feel, upon first entering the living room, Phoenix Academy's Senior's gaze examined her, like a lion ruling a vast territory eyeing an uninvited guest.
