"Ugh..." Beneath the setting sun, Miyuki Shirogane slowly opened his eyes on a bench. "Where am I this time?"
"Toyogasaki, obviously. You managed to knock yourself out just by shaking a cola. In a way, that makes you pretty talented. Want some? You bought it anyway, President Shirogane..." Seeing that the other had awakened, Sogo Doma spoke as he tossed the cola beside him over.
"Thanks..." After accepting the cola and thanking him out of reflex, Miyuki Shirogane seemed to suddenly realize something. With an uncertain expression, he said, "Wait! What do you mean, I knocked myself out just from shaking a cola?"
"Exactly what it sounds like..." Sogo Doma shrugged. "Otherwise, why would you be waking up here?"
"That's obviously because of Shinomiya..." Miyuki Shirogane answered instinctively. At the mention of Shinomiya, he shuddered reflexively.
"Shinomiya? You mean Kaguya Shinomiya? President Shirogane, you're talking nonsense again, aren't you? How could Shinomiya possibly come to Toyogasaki at a time like this? Or are you..." Sogo Doma wore a "suspicious" look.
"Wait, you told me yourself that you'd made the wrong call—that it wasn't a hallucination, that it really was Shinomiya..." Miyuki Shirogane clutched his head with both hands.
"When did I ever tell you that?" Sogo Doma's face was full of confusion.
"Y-you didn't?" Miyuki Shirogane froze. Wait, could it be that everything from beginning to end had been his hallucination?
"Of course I didn't..." Sogo Doma said firmly. "Still, even if you did see Shinomiya, you didn't need to get so excited that you fainted, President Shirogane."
Was that excitement? He had clearly been beaten unconscious! Back then, he had even seen his life flash before his eyes! No, judging by this guy's expression, he clearly had no idea what had happened. Could that really have been a hallucination!?
