After school, Haruto returned home to the Tōjō household, where he shared dinner with the family, including Kiyoko. After taking a bath with Ryōta, he was called to Ayaka's room. Sitting on the bed, Ayaka cleared her throat and then spoke to Haruto. "Alright, now it's time for your lecture." She patted the bed next to her, signaling for Haruto to sit beside her. "Um... What is this lecture about?" Haruto asked, cautiously as he sat down next to Ayaka. The lecture started after Haruto had…-

The moment I made eye contact with Terasawa, my heartbeat quickened uncomfortably. She liked Haruto, and I took him away from her. That fact, intertwined with my past trauma, weighed heavily on my heart. "...What's wrong?" I hesitantly asked Terasawa. She glanced briefly at Haruto before opening her mouth hesitantly. "Um... Tojo-san, could we talk... just the two of us?" At those words, I involuntarily trembled a little. Haruto noticed my small disturbance and gently placed his hand on…-

The noisy classroom was filled with voices from classmates saying things like, "Is Tojo-san really that forward?" or "Ayaka-chan is totally in love with Otsuki-kun." "See, Shizuku-chan, because of you, everyone’s got the wrong idea now!" "There’s no misunderstanding at all, is there? Everything I said is true." "T-that’s not… ugh…" For Ayaka, being talked about like this by her classmates was embarrassing. However, since she had decided to openly date Haruto, she didn’t want to lie…-

Through his part-time job as a housekeeper, Haruto had seen many sides of Ayaka. The way she looked surprised and flustered, the way her face turned red with embarrassment. The way she smiled happily, and the way she puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. Every expression was full of charm—she was an expressive and kind-hearted girl. That was who Tōjō Ayaka was to Haruto. And now, that very girl was angry right in front of him. Although she was smiling, there was an undeniable aura…-

Haruto had been firmly warned by Saki and Shizuku not to make Ayaka sad. "Alright, let's head back to the classroom." He offered his shoulder to Ayaka as he spoke. "Yeah." Ayaka nodded, looking happy as she accepted Haruto's help to stand up from the bed. Haruto handed her the crutches that Mr. Suzaki had lent and supported her as they left the infirmary. As they stepped out, Shizuku, who had exited with them, stopped before heading back to her own classroom. "Oh, right. Are you guys…-

When Haruto returned to the field, he drew numerous gazes from both the boys and the girls. Gathering all those mixed emotions directed at him, Haruto headed toward the P.E. teacher. "Otsuki, how is Tojo doing?" "It's a mild sprain. She was told to rest for the day, so she's staying in the infirmary." After Ayaka's condition was reported, the P.E. teacher nodded in understanding. "Thanks, Otsuki." "Yes. I'll get back to class now." After bowing to the teacher, Haruto walked over to…-

I lay on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. The silence around me made the sound of my heartbeat echo clearly in my ears. "If anything ever happens to you, Ayaka, I'll protect you. I promise I'll never let you feel sadness." The words he spoke, looking at me with such serious eyes. "Geez, Haruto... Are you trying to make my heart race like crazy? I might not survive this..." I pressed my hands to my cheeks, trying to cool down my heated face caused by my wonderful boyfriend's…-

In the nurse's office, the school nurse gently lifted Ayaka’s right ankle as she spoke. “Well, it’s a mild sprain. If you keep it taped up properly and rest, it’ll heal quickly.” Although her tone was somewhat brusque, the nurse carefully treated Ayaka’s injury. While securely taping Ayaka's ankle, she glanced at Haruto, who had been standing silently nearby. “For today, don’t put too much weight on your ankle. Got it? Since moving around school might be inconvenient, it’s your…-

The break after the third period. I headed to the changing room to change into my gym uniform for PE class. "It's still hot, and now we have PE outside? Ugh, this is so depressing." Saki, who was changing next to me, slipped her arms into her T-shirt and grumbled with a gloomy expression. "Totally. They should reschedule sports festivals to avoid heatstroke season." Agreeing with her, I unbuttoned my uniform shirt. "If someone collapses from heatstroke nowadays, it'll be all over the…-

Monday morning. By the fourth period, the sluggishness of the weekend’s end had started to fade. In the changing room, Haruto and Tomoya stood side by side, switching out of their uniforms and into gym clothes. “P.E. before lunch is such a pain,” Tomoya said lazily as he changed into his gym pants. “You think so?” “Yeah, I mean, it’s hard to perform well when you’re starving.” “What are you, some spinach-powered sailor?” Tomoya shook his head dramatically at…-
