Lately, there were two people she had been keeping an eye on: Uzuki Kei and Guest. They had been in the same department since their first year, but they were strangely inconspicuous. Yet, they were always stuck together.

.....Hmm—

Nagumo Yoichi, who was munching on a JCC rice bowl in the cafeteria, notices Akao Rion staring intently at something with her chin resting on her hand.

Huh~? Akao, is something going on over there?

Sakamoto Taro, who was also munching on a JCC rice bowl next to them, looks up at Nagumo Yoichi's words.

Still resting her chin on her hand, Akao Rion speaks while keeping her eyes fixed on Uzuki Kei and Guest sitting across the room.

You guys know them, right? That white-haired guy and the one always stuck to his side.

It was phrased as a question, but she continues as if she has no intention of listening to their answers.

It's just so~ strange. If you've been here for four years, you should have something to show for it. They always stay right in the middle, but their skills actually look pretty good.

Nagumo Yoichi follows Akao Rion's gaze to Uzuki Kei and Guest.

I'm not so sure~ Aren't they just average students~?
