Afraid? Whether it was Yukinoshita or Kasumigaoka, the word "afraid" had never existed in their dictionaries!
However, before they could respond—rather:
"You can mess around all you want..." Just as the fiercely competitive girls were about to come to blows, Sogo Doma said, "But don't forget about Mashiro and the others..." Well, he suspected they wanted to use the bet as an excuse to shirk their review sessions with Mashiro and the others.

Even though all three of them looked as if they were seriously reviewing and explaining things, Sogo Doma could still sense a faint pressure in the space where their territories met, as though something like lightning were constantly colliding there.
Thanks to that, Eriri—even Mashiro—became well-behaved. And not just the two of them; even Umaru Doma, upon seeing this scene, was...
