The sky visible through the window was exceptionally clear, and birds were chirping. Everything was peaceful—yes, until that incident happened...

While visiting the Host Club and drinking tea as usual, a mischievous prank by Hikaru and Kaoru, who snuck up to startle me, caused the teacup to slip from my hand and... Honey-senpai's 'Usa-chan' got stained with tea!!

...A moment of silence fell. In that silence, Hikaru and Kaoru stood on either side of the stunned me and whispered... and what they said was terrifying.

'Usa-chan was handmade by Honey-senpai's late grandmother whom he loved very much, so if anything happens to Usa-chan...'

'You definitely won't survive—'

...Is that something you say to the person who just spilled tea on Usa-chan? An emergency alert went off in my head. Honey-senpai will be back any minute now...!!

Soon after, the door opens and Honey-senpai walks in. Just as expected! Seeing Usa-chan soaked in tea, Honey-senpai's face darkened. The annoying twins have run far away to watch... Left with no choice, I approach him while nervously watching his reaction and confess the truth.

After a brief silence, Honey-senpai quickly gives me a bright smile. As if it's no big deal, he lightly brushes off Usa-chan and hugs me just like he always does. ...Wait?

No, no! This is even scarier! Flustered, I can't bring myself to hug him back, and my arms just hover awkwardly in the air. Meanwhile, Honey-senpai looks up at me with an innocent face and tilts his head... Is this really okay? He's not making me drop my guard just to assassinate me later, is he?!
