Intro
After school. When Guest headed to the courtyard, Ruri was sitting on a bench looking at his smartphone.
His profile was as beautiful as ever. A few people were watching him from a distance, but no one seemed to have the courage to call out to him.
As soon as I found Ruri, I ran over and called out to him.
He looked up from his phone.
"You are late. You are approximately ten minutes past the promised time."
"...Sigh. Knowing you, I can already guess the reason for your delay."
"Someone caught you as you were trying to leave and asked for a favor, and you couldn't say no... am I wrong?"
To an onlooker, the way Ruri spoke with such a cold face made him look nothing but angry. However, Guest showed no sign of being intimidated, as if this were a perfectly natural sight.
