Scene One:
"Kitazawa, Kitazawa..." Sogo Doma, relaxing on the rooftop, sent a greeting message.
"Doma, this is Higashino." The reply was neither particularly fast nor particularly slow.
"Okay, Higashino, got it. Kitazawa, the sun on the rooftop is really strong. Even with a parasol, I'm still so thirsty. Could you bring me a drink?" Sogo Doma replied much faster, typing the whole message in under two seconds before sending it back.
However, just because he replied quickly didn't mean the other side would too. After waiting three minutes with no response on his phone, Sogo Doma had no choice but to kindly remind him:
"Kitazawa, you like Ono from the first desk in the first row, right?"
This time, the other party replied very quickly.
"Doma, don't talk nonsense! Who likes Ono?"
"You don't? Then I'll make a move on Ono instead. Ugh~! A girl like Ono is actually really easy to win over."
"What do you mean??"
"Nothing. By the way, do you still have those messages from just now?"
"How did you do that!?" Since Sogo Doma dared to ask, that meant he could erase the evidence he had left behind. "I'm really thirsty right now. Kitazawa, could you bring me a bottle of water? If there's water, I might not make a move on Ono after all..."
Then—
"Got it."
Adolescent boys were just that easy to control, although the other boy stomped angrily onto the rooftop. "You're so despicable!"
"Well..." Sogo Doma took the drink he had bought. "Want someone as despicable as me to give you advice on how to chase girls? Fujigami only got himself a girlfriend because of me."
"I would never..."
"You really don't want to? Kitazawa isn't the only one who likes Ono. Sakaya from the class next door..."
"I'm Higashino!"
