Although Fuyu probably felt a little embarrassed about what she did last, she hid it from her face before Akane or the others could see her. It was like she put on a mask that veiled her embarrassment.

Nonetheless, that didn't stop Eri and Futaba from being curious. And with Akane just sitting there with her meaningful smile that seemed to say 'I didn't tell them anything', it fell back on us to satisfy their curiosity.

Fuyu was prepared for it. Even when I readied myself to back her up just in case she stuttered or found it difficult to answer, the need to step up didn’t come at all.

And since there was already a considerable distance between us, I didn’t catch what she told them. However, I managed to pick up Eri and Futaba staring at me as though they learned something new about me.

They didn’t come to ask me about it though. Furthermore, Akane who was watching closely found that amusing. Most likely, she could already guess what Fuyu told them.
