"Sorry, I seem to have asked a really stupid question..." Before Sogo Doma could speak, Utaha Kasumigaoka lowered her voice again. "If that bunny girl weren't so wonderful, Sogo wouldn't have brought her home. Besides, even for the sake of moving the story along, that bunny girl had to be gorgeous..."
"Wait, what does what that bunny girl looks like have to do with whether I brought her home?" Sogo Doma's mouth twitched as he whispered. "And what do you mean, 'moving the story along'? What kind of story is this...?"
Well, although Utaha's guess was right, Mai really could be considered one in ten thousand. After all, she was an immensely popular idol who had debuted as a child star. If she had looked utterly ordinary, she could never have gathered so many fans. The entertainment industry really did care about looks, but...
Did that have any necessary connection to him bringing her home? Did he need to judge people by their looks? If looks were all that mattered, then among the newly crowned goddesses in their class—Ako Tamaki, Yukino Yukinoshita, Mashiro Shiina, and Utaha herself—which one of them wasn't one in ten thousand?
"Of course, it's the story of a scumbag helping a bunny girl who suddenly fell into his life, then abandoning his childhood friend. In this day and age, childhood friends can never beat girls who fall from the sky..." Before Sogo Doma could finish, Utaha Kasumigaoka sighed softly as she looked over the story outline.
"Childhood friends can't beat girls who fall from the sky?" Sogo Doma asked, puzzled.
"Then let's call her the original girlfriend instead..." Utaha Kasumigaoka said coldly. "Based on my many years of accumulated romantic experience..."
"You? Many years of romantic experience? Don't tell me..." Sogo Doma wore a strange expression.
