"Come to think of it, shouldn't you be heading back by now?" After dinner and some games, Sogo Doma felt Kaguya Shinomiya and the others had no reason to stay any longer. "Hasn't the driver arrived yet?"
Kaguya Shinomiya: #^_^
He was trying to chase her away, wasn't he? He was absolutely trying to chase her away!
Damn it, who wanted to stay here anyway? She had contacted the driver and bodyguards long ago...
Wait!
"You didn't do anything, did you?" She looked at him suspiciously.
Sogo Doma: "???"
"What could I possibly do?"
"Mr. Hijikata..."
Sogo Doma: "..."
Hi-Hijikata!
"You contacted Hijikata?"
"Of course..." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded. "Mr. Hijikata and Mr. Gorilla are both admirable men. I really don't know how you came to know them..."
Umaru Doma: "..."
Men? She was starting to wonder whether that was really the Hijikata she knew. Though, someone who followed Mr. Gorilla...
Meanwhile.
Sogo Doma: #^_^
If it was Hijikata and the gorilla, then he more or less understood what was going on.
With that thought, he took out his phone again.
"Hello, Mr. Hijikata?"
"Sogo?" Sure enough, Toshiro Hijikata sounded quite surprised over the phone. "Weren't you enjoying a romantic evening with Miss Shinomiya? Why are you calling? We didn't interrupt you..."
Kaguya Shinomiya: (⊙?⊙)
What did that mean?
"Who wants to enjoy a romantic evening with him?!"
Toshiro Hijikata fell silent.
So she was right there. This was awkward.
"Kaguya's there too? Sogo, Gorilla—cough, cough—Boss Kondo said today was your date with Miss Shinomiya. And you did this and that to her..."
"Stop!" Sogo Doma wanted to punch someone. "Mr. Hijikata, what exactly do you mean by 'this and that'?"
"..." Toshiro Hijikata was silent for a moment before saying, "You sprayed her all over the face."
"That was cola!"
