"By the way, you're not really going to keep Yuka away until after the fireworks festival, are you?"
"Why would I keep her away?" Hayakawa Kashi smiled, "I already said, it's for her to recuperate."
"...You're not going to trick her into going back for recuperation again, are you?"
"I told you, there's no need for recuperation this time... Does Shirakawa think I'm deceiving her?"
"Honestly, considering Hayakawa's usual image, it does seem possible."
Miss Kaori tugged at the corner of her mouth and said lightly, "Don't worry, since she agreed to go to the fireworks festival with you all, I won't stop her."
"Villains need to give a little bit of sweetness once in a while, wouldn't you say, Shirakawa?"
Hearing Miss Kaori's response, a smile appeared in Shirakawa Sawahei's eyes as he replied softly, "Revealing yourself as a villain so easily, isn't that a bit too rash?"
"Are you saying you're a deeply hidden villain, Shirakawa?"
