"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." —Sherlock Holmes
Sayuri Sawamura calmly glanced over Sogo Doma. If there was any point at which Tomoya Aki and Sogo Doma intersected, it could only be Eriri...
And then there was that video she had just watched—
Several years ago, Sogo Doma had actually gone out of his way to investigate Tomoya Aki for the sake of her Eriri. Well, well...
Sayuri Sawamura thought that if things were really as she imagined, then Sogo Doma's actions made perfect sense. After all, he had been dealing with his "love rival," a thorn in his side!
That was right. Sayuri Sawamura believed that Sogo Doma liked her Eriri. Otherwise, why would he have gone to such lengths several years ago just to investigate some shut-in otaku?
Fortunately, Sogo Doma had no idea what Sayuri Sawamura was thinking right now. Otherwise, he would definitely have been speechless: "..."
Gone to great lengths? What? He had merely done it in passing.
Then there was Eriri's assessment of Sogo Doma—that bastard was like a devil, always taking pleasure in teasing her...
At that thought, Sayuri Sawamura became even more convinced. When it came to romance, boys always realized things later than girls and matured more slowly. But that did not mean boys could not feel affection when they were young; they simply did not know how to express it...
That was why so many immature boys, when faced with a girl they liked, would instead tease her, trying to attract her attention that way. Clearly, that idiot Eriri had no idea that the Doma boy teased her so often only to get her attention. Sayuri Sawamura continued piecing everything together in her mind.
That also made it much easier to explain
