Let's set aside Yukinoshita Haruno's regrets for the moment and rewind time slightly.
Lunchtime, Tokyo, Toyogasaki Academy, rooftop.
"Ah~!" The black-haired, straight-laced literary girl sitting on the bench took a bite of pineapple bread, then put it back down. "I really can't eat this at all..."
"That bastard really just left when he said he would, skipped school when he said he would. Hasn't Kirisu-sensei recovered yet? Is she not going to do anything about him?" Utaha Kasumigaoka was overflowing with resentment.
She couldn't understand it. Why had the pineapple bread she used to somewhat enjoy become nearly inedible now? That guy's boxed lunch had to be poisoned. She suspected he had drugged it, but she had no proof!
"It's only been one day without it..." Utaha Kasumigaoka felt a little miserable, because she had realized something important: the boxed lunch seemed to be a perk she only got for being a maid!
And the term of being a maid was only... one month?
"Hehe..." Utaha Kasumigaoka let out an eerie laugh. "Being a maid isn't really that bad, right? I can apply for an extension, right...?"
Her smile gradually fell apart.
A day without Sogo Doma at school. She missed his... boxed lunch.
That night, Angel Descends Bar, Chiba.
As usual, Yukinoshita Haruno ordered a pile of alcohol and set it across the table. Seeing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had just arrived, could only respond: ##^_^#
"Haruno, whenever something happens, do you plan to drink yourself to death? Tell me, what excessive demand did the Doma Family make this time? You said you could pull out in time, didn't you~?"
Yukinoshita Haruno was already slightly drunk. Hearing that, she threw her arms around Shizuka Hiratsuka. "That guy, that guy wants Yukino!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka: !!!∑(Дノ)ノ
"W-what happened? You agreed?
