"Do you think Shirakawa might be secretly dating someone?" Tsukimi sakurazawa hesitated, "Given his personality... if he were dating, he probably wouldn't be living with Orikin..."
"But what if? What if Hayakawa Kashi is forcing him to keep it a secret..."
"Hey... I mean, Konatsuori... you seem to have an exaggerated view of Hayakawa... even if that's the case, what's in it for him to force Shirakawa to keep it a secret?"
"If I were in love, I absolutely couldn't stand a secret relationship!" proclaimed the whimpering creature earnestly. "There's no way I could hide it, not even in a million years."
Little Transparent clenched their small fists and nodded emphatically in agreement.
"Hmm? Minister Sakurazawa is really that assertive? If it were me, I'd weigh the benefits of hiding versus not hiding... if there's a profit to be made, it might be worth keeping it under wraps."
"Eh? What kind of relationship needs hiding... unless it's an idol or something?"
