Sometimes, it was surprisingly easy for humans to feel satisfied. For instance, Utaha Kasumigaoka suddenly felt a strange sense of fulfillment right now. In contrast, Eriri was unwilling to accept it and felt somewhat dejected. As for why things had turned out this way, it was probably because...
Umaru and Erina had come looking for Utaha Kasumigaoka.
Eriri Sawamura: "..."
She'd lost, she'd lost! Damn it, they had both agreed they were otaku, yet this woman had secretly become one of the popular crowd!
Utaha Kasumigaoka: (￣︶￣)
That was right. She had friends too—friends she could visit festivals with!
"My, Kashiwagi-sensei, do you understand now why I said I couldn't catch up to you? When it comes to being an otaku..."
Eriri Sawamura: ▄█?█● She dropped to her knees!
B-But damn it, this was the one area where she absolutely didn't want to surpass this woman! So what if she had friends? Wait!
"You're still calling me that na—"
However, before the little blonde could finish, Utaha Kasumigaoka cut her off. "Shh..."
"Huh?" That left Eriri completely at a loss.
"Don't be so loud..." Utaha Kasumigaoka said. "You don't want your identity as Kashiwagi Eri to be discovered either, do you?" Fine, she might have been mean-spirited, but if she said she wouldn't expose the other girl, then she wouldn't. Besides, while Umaru, Erina, and the others had found them, they were still some distance away.
"..." Eriri finally relaxed at those words. "Got it..."
She wasn't stupid. She knew the other girl had no intention of exposing her. Still—
"Can you stop phrasing it so evilly..." she muttered.
"My..." Before Eriri could finish, Utaha Kasumigaoka said, "Evilly? I can only say that people with filthy minds find everything evil..."
"Who are you calling filthy-minded!?" Eriri couldn't take it anymore.
