Only after failure did people long for a hero's appearance... The blonde girl clearly didn't understand that, which was probably why she saw Yukinoshita as a formidable enemy?
"Your friend?" Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't understand either.
"Who's friends with her?!" Before Yukinoshita could answer, the blonde girl retorted. But after glancing at Utaha, she found the two inexplicably similar—equally aloof, equally... well, this one just had a bigger bust.
"I have no interest in stepping into their ecosystem..." Yukinoshita replied in kind, of course.
"An ecosystem..." Utaha Kasumigaoka instantly understood. Though she and Yukinoshita often traded barbs, Utaha was fiercely protective in front of outsiders. "That truly is a territory humanity shouldn't set foot in." Even one-on-one, the blonde girl was no match for Yukinoshita. Let alone one against two.
After several rounds of verbal sparring, the blonde girl nearly burst into tears with a "Wah!" Even the "friends" behind her were trembling, which showed that when these two joined forces, their intimidation factor toward ordinary people was far more than one plus one equaling two!
It could only be said that it was far, far greater... Luckily, Hayato Hayama, the little sun, and Shizuka Hiratsuka stepped in to save the situation in time, preventing the elementary schoolers from making fools of themselves. Otherwise... Of course, that was also because Sogo Doma wasn't stirring things up from the sidelines. If he had been, not even Jesus could have saved the situation. His words!
As for why he wasn't stirring things up, it was simply because: "Hikki, are you sure you've never seen an older man with silver natural curls and dead fish eyes?" That was right—Sogo Doma and the other two were still some distance away from the main group.
Hikigaya: "..." Hey, hey, wasn't this guy way too familiar? Since
