"Eri Nai, Hoshino Sora, why are you two here?"
In a hidden corner, Saiba Asahi had just finished using the restroom and was passing by when he saw two people emerge from inside. Upon closer inspection, it was Eri Nai, whom he admired, and his rival, Hoshino Sora.
"Huh? We came to see the scenery. What about you? Why are you here?"
Just as they emerged from the Gourmet Manor, Hoshino Sora and Eri Nai saw Saiba Asahi. Their figures paused, and they inwardly thought something was amiss. Before they could speak, he spoke first.
"Seeing the scenery? In such a hidden place? What's that on your mouth, Eri Nai..."
He glanced at the spot where Hoshino Sora and Eri Nai had just been. This place didn't look like a scenic spot at all. Could they be on a secret date?
Suddenly, Saiba Asahi noticed Eri Nai's mouth!
"Ah?"
Hearing Saiba Asahi's slightly surprised voice, Eri Nai immediately looked at Hoshino Sora. At this moment, Hoshino Sora was pursing his lips and winking at her, seemingly indicating the right corner of her mouth.
Covering her face with her hand, she quickly moved her tongue, sweeping all the residue from the corner of her mouth into her mouth. The rich taste spread in her oral cavity, making Eri Nai's cheeks turn crimson.
"That was just residue left from tasting the dish. It's nothing special, and you don't need to pay too much attention to it. It's getting late, so we're going back to rest first."
Grabbing Hoshino Sora's arm, Eri Nai's eyes held a hint of trembling. After saying this, she pulled his hand and left the scene without looking back, leaving Saiba Asahi standing there in a daze.
That thing was a dish? He might not be well-educated, but don't try to fool him.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah! Hoshino-kun! It's all your fault, it's all your fault! This is really too embarrassing!"
After walking a considerable distance, Eri Nai secretly glanced back. Once she confirmed they were far from Saiba Asahi, she immediately raised her hand and 'punched' Hoshino Sora, her voice filled with a hint of frenzy.
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be any residue. And it wasn't discovered, was it?"
"What do you mean 'not discovered'?! It definitely was! That pathetic excuse, even a child could see through it! We just ran fast, that's all! Ahhh! Idiot, idiot, idiot!"
Feeling Eri Nai's attacks, which were like a kitten scratching, Hoshino Sora gave a wry smile. He also hadn't expected such a coincidence. They had just left the Gourmet Manor one second, and the next second they encountered Saiba Asahi.
He should have walked a few more steps and entered the Gourmet Manor from the dorms.
"Alright, alright, so what if he saw? Isn't it normal for couples to do such things? It's not your first time doing this, and you weren't caught in the act."
Seeing that Eri Nai still wasn't giving up, Hoshino Sora reached out and grabbed her wrist. With a slight pull, he pinned her against the nearby wall. Just a dozen seconds of eye contact made her heart race intensely.
"I understand."
Her gaze shyly shifted elsewhere. In the quiet environment, the sound of her heartbeat was especially clear. Eri Nai couldn't help but swallow, the atmosphere thick with tension.
However, just as they were about to take things further...
"Um, am I interrupting you two?"
A discordant voice came from not far away. Turning around, they saw a surprised Yukihira Soma. He was awkwardly scratching his head, looking troubled, as if he wanted to pass behind them but didn't dare, fearing he would disturb them.
"It's fine, we weren't planning on doing anything anyway."
