“…?!”
Far too late, she subconsciously held down the skirt of her uniform. She bit her lower lip with a flushed face.
No doubt she was recalling the incident that had taken place when she’d encountered Kojou the day before. And realizing that she herself was the cause of the sexual arousal Kojou had felt.
“P-please forget about yesterday.” Yukina spoke with a tone containing all the calm she could muster.
“Er, even if you tell me to forget it…”
“Please forget it.”
“…”
As Yukina glared at him, Kojou silently slumped his shoulders. He realized that if he got her overly upset here, she might break that lance out and go on a rampage just as she had the day before.
“Also, please return my wallet. That’s what you came here for, isn’t it?”
Yukina made her legitimate request in a gentle tone. However, Kojou did not fulfill that request. He raised the wallet up high, beyond where Yukina’s hands could reach.
“I want to ask you a few things first. Who the heck are you? And why are you looking into me?”
“…Understood. So I may take you to mean that I will have to take my wallet back by force.”
Yukina gave Kojou a long stare as she made her declaration. As if drawing a katana from its sheath, her hand reached toward the guitar case on her back.
So this is how it’s gonna be
, Kojou thought, halfheartedly giving up as he lowered his center of gravity. As though playing defense in basketball, he adopted a posture from which he could deal with any attack. Yukina’s eyes grew guarded.
Grrrrrrr.
…The next moment, a low sound reverberated across the corridor.
Kojou’s eyebrows rose without a word.
When Kojou realized what that low growl was, a somewhat awkward expression came over him. It was a grumble from Yukina’s stomach.
“Err… Himeragi, are you hungry, by any chance?” Kojou asked Yukina as she remained frozen stiff.
Yukina was silent. That
was
her answer.
“Haven’t you eaten since yesterday? Ah, because you didn’t have your wallet? Himeragi, you actually live alone, don’t you?”
“Wh-what of it?!”
Yukina tried to keep her voice calm, but of course it came out a bit flustered.
Somehow he’d felt like that was the case, but apparently Yukina had come to live here on Itogami Island apart from her family. Since she’d just transferred, she didn’t have any friends yet, and having dropped her wallet, she had no money. That had to be why she hadn’t had a bite to eat since the day before.
With a somewhat flustered look, Kojou tilted his head and gently presented the wallet in front of Yukina.
Even as Yukina became agitated, as if wondering,
Wh-what are you doing?
her guarded expression never faltered.
“So, uh, treat me to lunch. The guy who picked up your wallet has a right to ask that much, right?”
Kojou spoke with a voice drained of tension.
Yukina blinked over and over, looking at Kojou as if trying to weigh his true intentions.
Like a plaintive, hungry puppy, her stomach made a low growl once more.

Yukina Himeragi ordered a retro-version Classic Teriyaki Burger, onion rings, and grapefruit juice combo. They were a five-minute walk from Saikai Academy at a big burger chain franchise on Island South.
With refined etiquette, Yukina, sitting up straight in her seat, gripped her teriyaki burger with both hands, a happy look on her face. Kojou watched her absentmindedly.
“What are you looking at?” Yukina asked dubiously, noticing Kojou’s gaze.
“Ahh, er… I was thinking, so you eat hamburgers like normal people, too, Himeragi.”
“What do you mean?”
Yukina’s eyebrows flattened in a scowl.
Kojou sipped on an iced coffee that was heavy on the ice and thin on the coffee.
“Err, somehow I had the impression you hadn’t been to this kind of place, like you’d be asking where the knives and forks were, and stuff…”
“I am not entirely sure, but might you be making fun of me?” Yukina made a sigh, as if a little
