Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Therefore, she definitely wouldn't know what kind of girl Shiro Shiro likes.

Although the three of them had never discussed this matter, they all agreed that they had no intention of revealing it.

Because it's unnecessary!

Who would share such important information with their competitor?

Chitanda Mirai thought that since Maejima Rika was already talking about this topic, she might as well give her a heavy blow.

If Maejima Rika knew that she truly had no hope with Kamishiro-kun, she would surely back down this time.

Chitanda Mirai pretended to remember something and said:

"Oh, right, Erina-chan."

"Didn't you say yesterday that Kamishiro-kun likes mature older sisters like Kubo-sensei?"

Erina Kamishiro's lips twitched again, but she didn't dare say that she had actually made that up.

However, since Chitanda Mirai had asked her this, she pretended to nod solemnly and said:

"Yes!"

Watanabe Hina looked stunned:

"what?"

"So, Kamishiro-kun actually likes mature older women like Kubotai-sensei?"

"Erina, is this true?"

"I've never heard you mention that before."

Chitanda Mirai smiled and explained:

"We didn't know because Watanabe-senpai didn't come, but Erina-chan happened to come to the coffee shop yesterday, so she told us about it."

Watanabe Hina felt her head spinning and fell into a long daze.

Does Kamishiro-kun like mature older sister types like Kubo-sensei?

Or did his sister Erina say it herself?

this.

If that's true, what will I do?

Watanabe Hina was completely at a loss, unable to imagine any solution.

Even though Rika Maejima knew about this yesterday, hearing it again today was still very impactful and made her feel very sad.

Erina Kamishiro asked curiously:

"Mirai-chan, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Did you discover something?"

Chitanda Mirai nodded solemnly and said:

"Yes!"

"After hearing what you said yesterday, I didn't really care."

"But today, Ms. Reiko Kubouchi and Ms. Asami Matsueda suddenly came to the classroom."

"So I took a quick look."

Erina Kamishiro couldn't help but interrupt:

"Eh?"

"Did they both come today?"

Chitanda Mirai explained:

"Yes, Erina, you didn't come today, so you don't know about this."

"Actually, around noon, the two of them came over to inquire about the literature department, and also about the physical fitness test and swimming lessons."

Rika Maejima grew increasingly anxious.

"Since you've said that, Mirai-chan, did you discover something?"

At this moment, Watanabe Hina finally came to her senses and looked at Chitanda Mirai with a tense expression, eager to know what she had discovered.

Chitanda Mirai looked at Maejima Rika's anxious expression, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips.

However, because Chitanda Mirai only wanted to hurt Maejima Rika, she didn't notice Erina and Watanabe Hina's expressions at all.

She explained with a serious expression:

"Yes."

"Because of what Erina-chan said, I've been paying a little more attention to Kamishiro-kun."

"I noticed that his gaze would occasionally scrutinize Reiko Kubouchi's body."

"It seems like they really like the bodies of mature older women."

Chitanda Mirai's words were like a nuclear bomb dropped on the minds of the three, leaving them in a daze for a long time.

Among them, the one whose emotions fluctuated the most was Erina Kamishiro.

She looked bewildered and helpless.

what?

Do you really like mature older sisters like Reiko Kubouchi?

Isn't this just something she casually said to fool Rika Maejima?

How did it come true?

Hina Watanabe's mind went blank, and she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

Kamishiro-kun actually likes the type of Kubo-sensei?

what to do? what to do? what to do?

She herself is not the mature and cheerful older sister type!

Rika Maejima, on the other hand, felt dizzy.

Done

This is really the end.

Since Chitanda-san has already observed it carefully.

Does that mean that Kamishiro-kun really likes mature older women?

No wonder he wouldn't accept my confession no matter what.

It turns out I wasn't his type at all.

Chitanda Mirai's words plunged the entire attic into a somber silence.

But she, the one who started it all, was secretly delighted.

Clearly, Maejima Rika is quite satisfied with her current appearance.

I just felt that now that I've said that, she'll definitely back down.

As Chitanda Mirai had predicted, things turned out just as she had imagined.

Rika Maejima was deeply saddened, tears welling in her eyes. Her once resolute heart, like the flickering flame of a candle, began to waver at this moment.

"So it turns out that Kamishiro-kun really does like Erina-chan said—he doesn't like student types, but rather mature older women."

Chitanda Mirai, who was initially overjoyed, was stunned upon hearing these words, and then gradually fell into silence and self-doubt.

Done

Looking at it now, I realize that I prefer mature older women, not student types like them.

Why am I so happy?

As Chitanda Mirai also fell into self-doubt, the atmosphere in the attic became even more deathly silent.

The only person who was sober at the scene was Junko Urahara.

As she ate her food, she tilted her head and looked at the silent group, then spoke haltingly:

Why isn't anyone eating?

The food is all cold.

Junko Urahara's words plunged them into an even deeper silence.

She noticed that no one responded, and she didn't want to eat their food.

But because I wasn't full yet.

So Junko Urahara wanted to send a text message to Shirakawa Kamishiro.

Knowing he wouldn't reply to her texts in the morning, she had no choice but to send a text to Yui Nagasawa.

[Junko Urahara: Nagasawa-senpai, I'm hungry!]

[Yui Nagasawa: What do you want to eat?]

Junko Urahara: Parfait!

[Yui Nagasawa: Sure, I'll talk to Kamishiro-kun about it.]

Just as Junko Urahara sent the message.

Chitanda Mirai knew she had made the atmosphere heavy, so she looked at Maejima Rika, whose eyes were slightly teary, and began to change the subject:

"Of course, those were just my personal speculations."

"You don't really need to care so much about Pear Blossom Jam."

"And now Junko has already finished her portion. If we don't eat soon, the food and drinks will get cold."

Upon hearing this, Erina Kamishiro, Hina Watanabe, and Rika Maejima began to eat, somewhat helplessly.

The three of them were eating in silence.

Shiro Kaede walked up with the parfait and handed it to Junko Urahara.
