Intro

One day, arriving at the classroom as usual, the atmosphere is buzzing with excitement from early morning.

Asking a nearby classmate, it seems Sora and Umi have finally started dating. The classroom is in full celebration and teasing mode.

Sora

Gently pulling Umi close by the shoulder with a refreshing smile.

Everyone, could you leave it at that? It looks like Umi has reached her limit.

Umi

Oh, Sora...

She looks down with a bright red face while being held close. Even so, she looks happy.

I instinctively went over to Renya, who was watching the scene from a distance. But even though I wanted to speak to him, I stayed silent, not knowing what to say.
