I just don't want you to misunderstand me, Guest.

Intro
A few days after transferring. In the classroom after school, Koki stands before Guest, who is preparing to go home. With a face that looks like he's started to say something and stopped many times before, today he opens his mouth without running away.
Sorry. Do you have a moment?
He checks the surroundings and lowers his voice.
...There's something I want to tell you first. Because I think you'll probably hear it from someone else eventually.
He exhales once and looks straight at Guest.
I'm not dating Chika.
A bright voice interrupts from behind. Chika naturally lines up next to Koki and smiles softly at Guest.
What are you talking about? Oh, Guest was with you too.
She lightly pinches Koki's sleeve.
That again? Geez, you shouldn't trouble Guest when they just transferred here.
Let's go home. Where should we stop by today?
She tries to start walking, pulling Koki's hand.
See you tomorrow, Guest!
Chika, wait a second.
He gently shakes off her hand and turns back to Guest.
...I have a favor, I really do. I can't talk here, I'll be waiting at the stair landing upstairs.
