Mai was being surrounded by everyone as gathered around and looked at her.

While Sora was sitting and taking care of Erina.

"So who are you" Cecilia interviewed her first.

But before Mai could answer.

"Mai-san? What are you doing here?" Rio came in as she was curious why she really was here.

"I was just lost?"

"Lost my ass! You were deliberately looking at the entrance wondering if you wanted to go in" Nemuri chimed in as she was checking papers in her favourite spot at the floor.

Cecilia looked at Her then at Sora, she then snorted.

"I'm not against at it anymore, but you owe me" Cecilia told Sora who nodded at her which she then formed at a smug smile and returned to reading.

Mai didn't say anything as she looked at everyone and felt weird looking at Sora and Erina so close.

"Is there something in my face?" Sora asked Mai who shook her head, Rio took notice of this and held her shoulder.

"What did you two actually do?" Rio somehow felt something was amiss between the distant Mai and Sora.

"Rio-san?" Mai looked at Rio's judging eyes who then nodded.

"I see, so that's what happened, I guess no one really can escape that bastard's clutches" Rio muttered the last part which made Mai confused.

"What did you say Rio-san?" Mai was curious.

"Nothing! Anyway what are you really here for?"

"I was just curious! I was here the last time but only went as far as there" Mai pointed at the dressing room which made Rio suspect her even more.

"So you two did!"

"No we certainly did not! That pervert!"

Erina heard Mai's shout and then looked at Sora and pinched his stomach.

"Did you actually?"

"No, aside from looking at her behinds, I did nothing more than appreciate the view" Erina then pinched Sora as she heard him say.

"Why did you decide to speak that way?"

"I don't know I just felt like it? Is there something wrong with it?" Sora patted Erina's

head.

"Answer me honestly, did you?"

"Like I said no, it's not like I'm gonna tap anyone I see, I haven't even tapped you yet"

"I'll believe in you for now" Erina then shyly turned red as she continued reading her Manga

"So Mai I looked at your background" Sora finally spoke as Erina turned sideways.

Rio and Mai stared at each other wondering what Sora was about to say.

"So-"

"Stop! You're not going to coax Mai to join you!" Nemuri stepped in as he felt Mai was about to fall into Sora's hand if he continued.

"I haven't even finished yet" Sora flinched as Nemuri stood in front of him.

"No you don't! Look at the amount of girls

You have and have you eve-"

"Yes I already did Nemuri-sensei" Sora smiled , he then looked at Mai. "As I was saying, do you know about Diamond?"

____________

"Diamond?" Kouko was asking about Chizuru.

"I currently work here, as for what I'm still a trainee I guess?" Chizuru didn't mind sharing about this information since she technically is no longer going to work as a rental girlfriend.

"So you're an actor? Say can you actually help me?"

"I guess there shouldn't be any problem as long as it doesn't cross any lines" Chizuru decided to do it since her school life was rather dull for now and that she hasn't received any schedules.

"Can you tell Sora to Come here?" Kouko held Chizuru's hand as her face flinched.

"Other than that" Chizuru told her truthfully.

"I know it sounds ludicrous but if he comes here I'm sure Mitsuo would finally then be alarmed it's just a one time thing!"

"And what will you do by then if he actually does come here?" Chizuru sighed and got ready to call Sora.

"This is the actual favour" Kouko then told Chizuru her plan. "Can you act like you're introducing me to Sora?"

Chizuru thought of it "As long as you don't actually have any plans I guess".

"That Girl has been quiet recently" Mitsuo told Banri his thoughts as they followed Chinami.

"Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Something feels off" Mitsuo then looked at the time as it was time for their classes to end and he couldn't see any sign of Kouko.

"He's here!" Chinami then ran off and took her camera as she received news.

"Who?" Mitsuo looked at Banri who also shook his head.

"I don't know, why don't we follow" Mitsuo nodded and followed shortly.

The three of them shortly arrived at the entrance as soon as they did they heard Chinami click her camera in rapid succession.

"I'm going to make a selling!" Chinami said while Mitsuo and Banri were finding out the source of the commotion.

Banri noticed that Mitsuo clicked his tongue then looked forward to see Sora waving his hand at Chizuru and Kouko.

"Surely he's not aiming for Kouko?" Mitsuo told his thoughts again.

"I mean you did say Kouko knows people from

Elite circle so shouldn't she also know him?"

"No" Mitsuo walked forward as he didn't know why he wanted to confront Sora as he thought he had bad intentions.

"Hey!" Mitsuo called out Sora as he went near, Chizuru elbowed Kouko as she thought this wouldn't end well.

"Hello" Sora who had just arrived after sending everyone home and came

To pick up Chizuru just waved at Mitsuo as he knew why he was called here for.

"What are you doing here?" Mitsuo even though he detested Kouko he also did partly care for her as a childhood friend.

"Am I not allowed to?" Sora innocently asked Mitsuo.

"That! What are you going to do with Kaga-san?"

"I just met her, is there a problem with that? You're not her boyfriend are you?" Sora then looked at Kouko and then at Mitsuo putting pressure on them both.

"Yes!"

"No!"

Both Mitsuo and Kouko had different answers as they didn't expect they were going to be questioned.

"That's not important!" Mitsuo felt degraded as Sora looked like he was about to smugly smile at him.

"Then what is important?" Mitsuo then looked at Sora's uniform.

"You're still a High Schooler! What are you doing at this college anyway? Trying your luck on College girls?"

"I don't need luck" Sora then grabbed Chizuru's and Kouko's waist and held them both closely.

"Hey!"

"As far as I know Chizuru is my Girlfriend, and Kaga-san here was just introduced to me, if anything I should be the one asking you what your relationship with them is?"

"Kaga-san is my Childhood friend!" Mitsuo grabbed Kouko's hand while Sora let go of Kouko.

"I see" Sora didn't say anything as he let go of Kouko. "I wish you both well."

"What the hell?" Mitsuo was confused as he didn't expect Sora would leave like that easily.

Chizuru as well was confused "I thought you were ready to fight or act like a young master?"

"Isn't this what she wanted? Besides You called me here for another thing right?" Sora then tightened his hold on Chizuru who turned red as they left.

"I'm lost, it just doesn't make sense." Chizuru muttered as she looked at Kouko and Mitsuo.

"What do you think were doing? That's not

Important!" Mitsuo saw that Chinami was gone and sighed, he then looked at Banri "You're also coming with me!"

______________

"So what did you want to talk about?" Sora asked Chizuru as he drove her home.

"I was curious about your Idea's on Diamond?"

"Well to be honest I let Mother do everything for this quarter only while after that I'll fully take over as she needs to adjust some important stuff." Sora said it nonchalantly as he continued driving.

"I see" Chizuru couldn't think of anything until. "Hey, help me move out tomorrow."

"Sure, I'll be there to help you, besides"

"What?"

"Nothing, I'll save it for tomorrow"

Chizuru pouted as she was curious but didn't say anything else as Sora continued driving.

"Listen here Kouko" Mitsuo sat in front of her with Banri beside him.

"Are you finally going to confess to me?"

"Far from it! I'm here to tell you that even though we're friends, I dislike your attitude, You're annoying, and that I would rather be romantically engaged with Chinami! And I could care less seeing you with another guy! Today was just an exception." Mitsuo soon took a deep breath after saying that to Kouko.

"Mitsuo-san isn't that a bit excessive?" Banri said it as he looked at Kouko.

"Is that all you want to say?" Kouko looked at Mitsuo.

"Oh? Are you gonna quip back?" Kouko didn't say anything as she stood up and took her bag and quietly leave. "Good Riddance"

"Mitsuo, I think you crossed the line there?" Banri wanted to stand up and slowly did as he wanted to comfort Kouko.

"Go after her if you want" Mitsuo said nonchalantly.

Banri stood up and immediately went after her.
