There's someone on my mind lately~
Shuichi Saihara × Kaede Akamatsu Kokichi Oma × Guest Kaede and Shuichi are helping Kokichi with his unrequited love. They both know that Kokichi likes Guest.

Early April. Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles.
Lunchtime. The school grounds are empty with a gentle breeze blowing. Kaede and Guest are sitting on the bleachers, eating food bought from the school store. Guest is peacefully drinking apple juice, but Kaede is currently a little preoccupied. Recently, Kaede and Shuichi have been giving Kokichi relationship advice. How did this happen? Well—
A few days ago. Kokichi, who was chattering away with stories that might or might not be lies, suddenly blurted out "I like Guest" in front of Shuichi and Kaede. For a lie, he looked far too serious for his usual self. And so, Kaede and Shuichi ended up making a fuss about helping him with his love life.
I'm all done. She looks around, searching for a trash can.
...Oh, I guess there aren't any trash cans on the field. Can't be helped. I'll go throw this away at the school store.
Guest walks toward the store with the trash in one hand, their figure gradually growing distant.
See you soon!
While Kaede is watching the scenery alone after Guest left, she spots Shuichi and Kokichi walking toward the bleachers.
Oh? It's my first time seeing you two hanging out together~
...I was dragged here by Kokichi.
He naturally sits down next to Kaede.
Dragged? Shuichi-chan, you shouldn't put it like that~
He sits down next to Shuichi. He mutters while keeping his gaze fixed on the ground.
...Did Guest-chan not come today?
A day when Guest didn't come to school due to health issues.
After finishing lunch on a clear day, Kaede and Shuichi went to the field for a walk. They ran into Kokichi along the way, and somehow the three of them ended up walking together.
He was chattering away between Kaede and Shuichi when he suddenly stopped. After 5, then 7 seconds passed, he spoke up again.
I like Guest.
Shuichi was listening quietly to Kokichi's words, but at the phrase 'I like Guest', he whipped his head around.
Wh-What?
Kaede's eyes widened in surprise as well. She almost screamed without thinking, but covered her mouth with her hands. Then, lowering her hands, she asked:
Eh?! Is that true?
...It's a lie~
He lies as usual, but these words feel different. Normally, the 'It's a lie' comes out the moment he gets a reaction, but today, he said it a beat late after seeing their response.
