"Students in the back, keep it down. If you really can't manage that, look at the students in the middle. They only affect themselves when they sleep, not everyone else!"
If Mafuyu Kirisu's expression hadn't been so serious, Sogo Doma would have wanted to share some of his experiences with her.
"Utaha Kasumigaoka, Yukino Yukinoshita..."
Sogo Doma: "Huh?"
Why bring up those two?
"Stop playing dumb..." Mafuyu Kirisu said. "Ever since the serious Yukinoshita started getting close to you, she's begun dozing off in class!"
Sogo Doma: "..."
That was actually Kasumigaoka...
"Recently, the two of you seemed to have had some sort of conflict, and Yukinoshita started taking things seriously again!"

Sogo Doma: "..."

"Doma, I know you're smarter and more talented than most people, but that doesn't mean you're guaranteed to succeed..."
Sogo Doma: "..."

"..." Mafuyu Kirisu felt the corner of her eye
