บท 2157: Interrogated again

“Hey, Onoda-kun. Are you here for Kana?”

I had just reached the door of Year 3, Class 4 when I ran into Momoiro-senpai. who appeared out of nowhere. She stepped into my path before I could even peek inside the classroom to look for Kana and Rumi.

Her timing was quite impeccable as if she had been waiting for me specifically.

It couldn't be, right?

Her face lit up with a round, cheerful expression. Her big, bright eyes sparkled with curiosity and a hint of mischief, and her pink-tinted hair tied into a ponytail bounced with each step as she moved closer.

There was something different about her demeanor this time. It's like she was extremely pleased to see me but at the same time, there's the usual hint of apprehension because of my identity as her close friend’s boyfriend.
