"Yo..." Sogo Doma really was absurdly smart. The moment he came out and saw Eriri's expression, he guessed what she was thinking just as Yukino Yukinoshita had. Still, he hadn't expected Umaru answering the door to have this effect. If it had been Komaru instead, she probably would have already condemned his "evil deeds," right?
Well, they didn't really count as evil deeds. Rather, she would have bluntly explained the reason without any reservations. After all, Eriri had no image to maintain in front of Komaru, nor was she afraid that an elementary schooler would expose her. Unfortunately, the two of them had both hidden another side of themselves. In front of Lady Umaru, Eriri chickened out!
EMMM...
At this rate, perhaps he wouldn't even need to get rid of her to make her leave empty-handed! Fine, he would consider this little blonde mutt lucky to have her life spared:
"I wonder what business Yukinoshita has at my house?" Still, he didn't mention Eriri at all, instead directing the question at Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Uh..." The second daughter had nothing she couldn't say. "I came to see whether Mashiro was with you..."
"Hmm?"
"Because Sawamura said she left Mashiro at the Art Club, and the Art Club said that you had taken Mashiro away..." Yukino Yukinoshita explained.
Unfortunately, that explanation did not satisfy Sogo Doma. "So? What's the problem?"
"..." Could Yukino Yukinoshita say it was because...
But just as she was about to come up with an answer, Sogo Doma continued, "Why not just say you were worried about whether Mashiro had really been taken away by us? You really are so awkward, and you love worrying over nothing..."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."
Damn it, that bastard had seen through her again!
"W-What? What do you mean, awkward? We weren't worried
