Sogo Doma felt that he was always surrounded by all sorts of straight men. For some reason, many people who seemed serious at first would reveal their love for snark after spending enough time with him. The simplest example was—
In everyone's eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita ought to have been cold and aloof. But in front of him: "That's a crime, isn't it? Secretly taking pictures of other people is absolutely a crime!" She was like this: "Don't think punching a hole in your sketchpad counts as drawing!"
Or like this: "Doma, I've realized the air conditioner is far more useful than you. At the very least, the air it blows makes people feel comfortable. When you let out air, it only proves that you're still alive..."
She loved to snark, and her tongue was venomous. Sometimes, she even looked at people as though they were beyond saving, like she was looking at trash... Ahem. Anyway, that was Yukino Yukinoshita in someone's eyes.
Yet in everyone else's eyes, she was the very embodiment of cool detachment. And then there was Umaru, that little dumpling, who was also seen by outsiders as the perfect high school girl. Sogo Doma could only sigh. Why could humans never see the truth?
Take Shizuka Hiratsuka right now. Sogo Doma's former impression of her had been that of a hot-blooded female teacher—simple-minded, easy to fool, come one, come all... But now, he had discovered another one of her traits: snark. And such disappointing snark at that. Sigh.
What confused Sogo Doma the most was that she had actually asked him, "Who exactly caused this?"
This kid—cough, this old woman—was an idiot too. Could snarking possibly be blamed on someone else? If she didn't want to snark, who could force her? These people, these straight men...
"Actually..."
