Looking at Kushida Kikyo lying on his bed, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was thoroughly puzzled.
She had already arrived before he returned.
Thinking about how, after they held that celebration party last time, Ike Kanji and the others had secretly made numerous spare keys to his room, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt a headache coming on.
They could hardly be called close, yet she still had the nerve to act so shamelessly.
Kushida Kikyo, before him, was one of the people with a spare key. More than half an hour had passed since he returned.
Yet Kushida Kikyo had not said a word. She merely lay there with an arm over her eyes. But Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was certain that she was fully awake and had not fallen asleep.
"What exactly do you want?"
he asked blandly.
Hearing Ayanokoji Kiyotaka speak, Kushida Kikyo sat up and looked at him.
"Ehh~?! Ayanokoji-kun, your tone is so cold! Shouldn't you be happy that such a cute girl is lying on your bed?"
With an angelic smile, Kushida Kikyo asked him in confusion.
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and immediately put on a pitiful expression, looking at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka with a wounded face.
If this had been back when school had just started, seeing her act like that might have made him think she liked him.
But ever since he had accidentally seen Kushida Kikyo's other side, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had become immune to all of her expression-based attacks.
Still, one thing was strange. At first, his slight attraction had merely turned into indifference, but for some reason, seeing her again now stirred up a trace of disgust in his heart.
"There's no one else here. You can speak normally, can't you?"
Still in the same calm voice, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked at Kushida Kikyo.
