Utaha Kasumigaoka had only wanted to be a little devious and make Yukino Yukinoshita wary, so she would stop observing her Sogo so brazenly like before—but why had things ended up like this?
Yukino Yukinoshita;
Mashiro Shiina;
Ako Tamaki;
Utaha Kasumigaoka thought it over carefully, then: (waves)
In terms of looks alone, none of them was inferior to her. Hadn't she been Toyogasaki's number-one beauty for the past year? So why this year...

Utaha Kasumigaoka was furious.
To use an analogy Sogo Doma had once used while chatting with her, she had clearly been the little cabbage that first lured over the
