She slowly clenched her fist, demonstrating her determination.

"I've never had any dating experience, so I don't really know much about this, but I will try my best to be a good girlfriend."

"I am the one who wronged you to make this decision. There's no need to rush. Just take your time."

"Take your time?"

"Okay, take your time."

"Thank you. Actually... I've had a dream since I was a child."

"dream?"

"Ok!"

Yang Gongfei nodded vigorously.

"I want to be the bride of the person I love."

A soft "tsk" sounded from under the bed.

Unaware of this, Yang Gongfeina remained lost in her sweet fantasy.

"I want to wear a beautiful wedding dress and become the happiest bride in the world."

"Oh! Isn't becoming a bride a bit too fast? I'm sorry! I'll do my best to be a good girlfriend first!"

"I will absolutely not let Mr. Tazaki regret accepting my confession!"

...Okay, that's heavy.

The girl's vow made Toru Tazaki feel both heavy-hearted and happy.

He still couldn't believe that he had actually chosen such a promiscuous path.

"I should be the one saying that. Thank you for liking me as I am."

Yang Gongfei's heart was pounding, and her smile made her mouth look even more crooked.

With her index fingers intertwined, she tilted her round face up and secretly peeked at Toru Tazaki, looking like she wanted to kiss him but didn't dare.

Perhaps because of Tachibana Rin, Tazaki Toru quickly saw through Hitomi Hina's budding ambitions.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly leaned down and lightly kissed the girl's lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Yang Gongfei felt so happy she was about to faint.

She let out a silly little laugh.

"Hehehe...it really happened, we kissed."

"Tsk."

Strange noises came from under the bed again.

However, the smacking sound was perfectly masked by the knocking.

[Knock knock knock—]

Yang Gongfei was so frightened that she almost jumped up.

Well, it's the third time.

"I'll go open the door," Toru Tazaki said.

"No, no, no, that won't do!"

Hinata quickly gripped Toru Tazaki's sleeve and whispered, "Everyone knows I went into your room last night and even kissed you..."

"I'll be so embarrassed!"

A girl who has just given her first kiss is almost mentally paralyzed and can hardly think straight.

"I...I'll hide!"

Yang Gongfei jumped up from the bed, frantically searched around, aimed at the space under Tazaki Toru's bed, and immediately lay down to crawl inside.

Tazaki Toru had no chance to stop it.

"Heave-ho... Eh?!! Rin... Waaaaah!"

Hina Yang still managed to spot the indescribable thing under the bed, but before she could scream, Rin Tachibana covered her mouth.

"Shhh!!!"

Rin Tachibana gave him a wink.

"If Hina finds out, I'm dead. Get in here."

"...Eh?!"

Without saying a word, Tachibana Rin dragged Himiya Hina under the bed.

Tazaki Toru rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and had no choice but to open the door.

"Tou-kun, are you asleep?"

Upon opening the door, standing outside was Mika Kohinata, and Rin Tachibana, who was under the bed, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tazaki Toru stood in the doorway.

"Still not asleep."

"Um, there's something I'd like to talk to you about, is that alright?"

Tazaki Toru naturally couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to let Kohinata Mika into the house.

"I'm a little worried about Toru-kun."

"Worried about me?"

Mika Kohinata nodded slightly, her eyes filled with unease.

"Yes, I know. Because Tou-kun is a very responsible person, I'm worried that you might be compromising out of a sense of responsibility. I hope you're not forcing yourself."

It turned out to be the case.

Mika Kohinata is such a worrier.

A warm feeling welled up in Tazaki Toru's heart.

"Meijia, do you remember what I said when we first met?"

"When we first met?"

"As I've said before, once I've made up my mind, I won't overthink things."

"I will never go back on my promises, and I have not compromised with anyone. There is only one reason why I do this."

"Because I like you all."

"Although the first half of the sentence sounds cool, the flirtatious statement is a bit bad."

"……sorry."

The girl placed her index finger on Tazaki Toru's lips, interrupting his apology. The maternal qualities emanating from her body warmed Tazaki Toru little by little.

"It's okay, because it was also my choice, so there's no need for you to blame yourself."

"Meijia..."

In Tazaki Toru's mind, he was convinced that Kohinata Mika harbored feelings of grievance.

What was originally a love between the two of them has now grown stronger.

Tazaki Toru felt deeply sorry for her, blaming it all on his own greed towards them.

But he won't reflect on his past mistakes.

Instead, we need to show them our sincerity and take action so that they don't regret their choices.

This is the arrogance that Tazaki Toru has always upheld, a arrogance unique to him.

Looking at the girl who had once saved him, Tazaki Toru couldn't help but move closer to her, just as his fingers were about to touch her.

[Knock knock knock—]

Tazaki Toru: "..."

With things having progressed to this point, the fourth knock on the door actually gave Tazaki Toru a sense of security.

Come on, everyone come on.

Without a doubt, the person standing outside the door at this moment could only be Hina Aoki.

Although Mika Kohinata was somewhat flustered, she did not react excessively.

The door opened, and when Aoki Hina saw Kohinata Mika inside, she exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Mika, you're here."

"Well, there are some things I want to say to Tou-kun."

"Ah... but I've already said everything. I'm going back to my room now. You guys continue chatting."

Upon hearing this, Hina Aoki waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you know where Rin-chan went."

"Rin-chan?"

Boom!

The bed frame in the bedroom suddenly made a muffled thud, immediately catching Aoki Hina's attention.

Immediately, Hina Aoki looked at Toru Tazaki, her exquisite cat-like eyes gradually narrowing.

"Tazaki-kun".

Tazaki Toru's inability to lie meant he couldn't cover for Tachibana Rin, so he said helplessly, "Come out."

A rustling sound came from under the bed, and soon after, Tachibana Rin emerged awkwardly, tidied her slightly messy short hair, and forced a less-than-elegant smile.

Hina Aoki had a look on her face that said, "I knew it."

Just as she was about to make her move, Yang Gongfei also crawled out from inside, bumping her head on the bed leg and letting out a cry of pain.

Even Aoki Hina was stunned by the sight.

There's an unexpected surprise too.

The room, which was originally quite spacious, was now filled with people, staring at each other.
