A miscalculation—a huge miscalculation!
"I-I see..." Yukino Yukinoshita turned her face away. "M-maybe I remembered wrong. See you tomorrow, then..." Even she felt embarrassed when confronted with her own shortcomings.
"Phew..." Eriri let out a sigh of relief. She had thought Yukino had specifically come after her because she had led Mashiro astray. Who would have thought it was because...
Wait!
"Not that way either!"
"Huh?" Yukino, who had just turned around and was about to walk off, froze at those words.

"How could you only remember something so important now?" Before Eriri could finish, Yukino could not help saying, "It's already so late..."

"That's true..." Yukino nodded. "Then don't waste any time. Go to school first... No, forget it. I'll go with you..."
"Yukinoshita-senpai..."

Looking at Yukino, whose expression was calm as though she were merely mentioning some trivial matter, Eriri Sawamura: -_-
