"W-wait, does that mean you'll go with me—"
"Um, Tsurugi-san… Can I… think about it first? I promise to get back to you as soon as I can… It's just that…"
Angelie averted her gaze from him. Kenji controlled himself and kept himself poised.
"It's okay, Fukushuu-san. I understand. I'll ask for your reply some other time, then."
Kenji smiled and bowed at Angelie before he walked away from her.
Angelie stood still for a few moments.
(Why did I suddenly think of that guy's face?! I would have been fine going with Tsurugi-san… So why didn't I just agree and accepted his invitation? Damn that stupid Demon Lord…)

That afternoon, the Help club met inside their clubroom. They had a meeting about the dance and other club matters. When their meeting ended, Sanaka was the first to stand up and leave. She had a gloomy expression and let out a sigh as she left the room.
