Who would think that much about it?
Besides...
Sakura had also taken the initiative to suggest avoiding suspicion.
Because what they wanted... wasn't this kind of thing either.
Even if they felt they had tried every possible means.
As long as it was to overwhelm the other factions... anything was acceptable. Even taking advantage of every opening and constantly proclaiming their sovereignty didn't seem like a big deal...
But at a time like this!
With something like this...
They still felt it wasn't interesting.
They disdained to do such a thing.
It felt!
Like restraint, yet also like confidence.
Because they had already taken the lead by far, far, far too much.
Rather than acting petty and provoking the other factions in this way,
it would be better to be open and magnanimous... which would instead better display the bearing of the hosts.
But speaking honestly!
Was there really no open or covert rivalry?!
Of course not.
There absolutely was!
It was merely a question of whether it was obvious.
After all.
This maneuver by Sakura.
Some factions didn't think much of it.
But other factions narrowed their eyes slightly. Their minds were as clear as a mirror. Whether they saw through it or not didn't matter.
Whether they scoffed at it, or even clearly found it somewhat distasteful,
it was all perfectly normal!
One had to understand...
No one was a fool.
Many girls could see through it!
Sakura had turned retreat into advance. This was truly a brilliant move, wasn't it?
On the one hand,
it eased the stereotype of their faction in Little Griseo's mind.
It showed that they weren't some extremely domineering bunch.
They could be gentle and considerate... too!
This naturally gave Little Griseo an even better impression of them.
And on the other hand?
