The next morning.
On the way back to the academy, Leona spoke to Rin with a strange smirk on her face.
"Hey, Rin."
"Yeah, what's up, Leona?"
"Looks like you didn't sleep well? Why the long face?"
She was pretending not to know.
"…I had a rom-com moment with an incredibly beautiful senior."
"…Oh? Who?"
"I don't know. If I knew, I would've slept well."
"She must've been really beautiful if you're saying that."
"Yeah. I couldn't see her face, but judging by her atmosphere, she must be beautiful."
"R-really? Hehe."
Damn it, you shouldn't be laughing there.
I wasn't some clueless idiot like Ryen.
Ah, man…
It felt a bit unfair that I was the only one suffering from this.
"She was a really, really beautiful senior. Good figure, beautiful voice, elegant—and she had a completely different aura."
"I-It can't be that much… could it?"
"No, my intuition is telling me she must be the most beautiful woman in this world."
