So this was why Sakayanagi Arisu had used the excuse that a three-way meeting was about to take place and the venue needed to be prepared, allowing the second-year classrooms to remain unlocked for two days?
It was so she could put chocolate in Hachiman's drawer in the morning, then use it as bait to identify which girls had feelings for him.
In other words, this was an open scheme. She was fishing.
Was this the possessiveness of a girl in a relationship?
They had only just started dating, yet she was already investigating her romantic rivals.
Still.
Sakayanagi's investigation seemed necessary.
Because when Kamuro recalled following Sakayanagi's instructions that morning and stuffing chocolate into Hachiman's drawer, there had already been two chocolates inside.
In other words, someone had given Hachiman chocolate early that morning.
That meant two girls had feelings for him.
But.
Sakayanagi, you had only just gotten a boyfriend, and you were already this eager to catch him cheating? Wasn't that a little excessive?
As for Kushida, Kamuro felt certain that Kushida would give Hachiman chocolate today.
Although Sakayanagi's reasoning was that Hachiman's life goal was to become a househusband, so on Valentine's Day, the man should be the one giving chocolate to the woman.
Still.
Getting chocolate from a girl definitely felt different.
So.
Sakayanagi, you were actually one step behind. Did you know that?
Ding!
At that moment, the elevator arrived on the first floor.
"Let's check Hachiman's mailbox first," Classmate Sakayanagi said.
"..." Kamuro silently went to inspect Hachiman's mailbox.
Then.
Just as expected.
When she opened it, she found five chocolates.
In other words, Sakayanagi's fishing expedition had succeeded.
Sakayanagi only had three official romantic rivals, yet there were five chocolates here.
That meant not only had her rivals made their moves ahead
