"So it was yuri..." Mai Sakurajima's expression suddenly turned strange, while Utaha Kasumigaoka began to lose some of her confidence. It was no wonder—despite being a girl herself, discussing yuri in front of a group of beautiful girls was like a guy talking about what being gay meant in front of a bunch of handsome men. Who wouldn't be embarrassed...
"Love Metronome..." Before she could defend herself, Mai Sakurajima continued, "I was wondering why the name Utako Kasumi sounded so familiar." Utaha Kasumigaoka: "..." Damn it, the last person she wanted to recognize her was the woman in front of her. After all, this woman had big breasts and long legs—if she were the standard, she had practically grown according to Sogo's tastes!
More importantly, this Mai Sakurajima was clearly eyeing Sogo... As a fellow girl, did she think Utaha couldn't see through her intentions?
This woman was far more threatening than Yukinoshita and the others—she even knew Umaru! Fortunately, Sogo Doma forcefully changed the subject from the side. "From the sound of it, has Mai-san read Shiba—ah, I mean, Utako Kasumi-sensei's work too?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I haven't. It wasn't me..." For some reason, Mai Sakurajima instantly fired off the triple denial.
But even Muse was left speechless: "..." Could this Miss Mai even lie?
"Ahem..." Perhaps realizing that her reaction had been too intense, Mai Sakurajima quickly coughed twice. "It wasn't because I wanted to read it. My manager said I should keep up with market trends, in case there was some kind of collaboration..."
"Wait a minute..." Mentioning that made Sogo Doma seem to think of something. "Mai-san, I wasn't thorough enough today. Actually, you're not suited to coaching these girls..."
"Huh!?" Muse hadn't even decided whether to accept the arrangement, yet Sogo Doma's words left them
