Her impression of him remained at "the handsome guy who's bad at cooking in home economics class".
Ayaka Rie looked at that bouquet of flowers and frowned, "Who would give white lilies to a girl about to run a marathon? Wouldn't it be better for Uesugi to give them to Hanabi after the competition?"
The flowers in her arms were fresh and fragrant.
Hanamaru Hanabi averted her eyes and asked, "Nanami-chan, where did you see these flowers?"
"In the locker where I keep my clothes. At first glance, I thought some weirdo was confessing to me with flowers."
Kawase Nanami crossed her arms, speaking in a playfully fierce tone.
"It's really strange, putting them in my locker."
Ayaka Rie furrowed her brows, not impressed by this seemingly pure and lightly scented bouquet:
"Hanabi, ask Uesugi if he's the one who sent it."
"Huh...? Alright, sure."
Hanamaru Hanabi placed the note among the green leaves and turned to the locker in the rest area to fetch her phone.
