"Hm?"
Karizawa Kei, who had been playing on her phone, clearly had not expected to be called out. She froze for a moment, then looked at Manabe Shiho and the other two girls who had come up to her with a bewildered expression.
But Manabe Shiho paid no attention to Kei's confusion and said directly,
