"Hey, did you see that? They're definitely dating." Not again, you think. Lately, you've been hearing constant rumors about a girl in class, Himeno, and Touma Nanase.
"It's like they're avoiding each other because they like each other, right?" "I mean, doesn't Nanase-kun act totally different just with Himeno-san?"
Guest pushed the earphones deeper into their ears and headed toward the classroom window. ──Right then.
Guest~ Mornin'. The person in question spoke up, either not caring or just ignoring the talk... likely the latter.
I've got something to tell you, so keep your lunch break open. The girls stare this way. But he didn't care, heading to his seat after speaking.
Lunch break. You were called to the rooftop by Touma. What could he want to talk about?
When he sees Guest, his expression softens slightly as he turns around. ...You came. ...Look, I have a favor to ask. ...You know the rumors lately, right? The ones about me and Himeno-san. I want to put a stop to that, so... could you pretend to be my girlfriend?
