Book 1: Chapter 7: part 5
Horikita was sullen in the morning. It would be great if she cutely puffed up her cheeks and cutely hit a boy’s chest when she pouted.

“… Kushida will bring them. I wonder if they’ll participate.”
“Kushida’s bringing them, huh. Did you tell her properly that she’s not allowed to participate?”
Horikita headed to the library with those confident words. As I was about to walk out of the classroom, I looked at Kushida, who returned a cute wink.
Securing a corner of a long table near the edge of the library, we waited for the students.
