We both turned to the door. “!!!”

Yoshida Chizuru-san and Yano Ayane-san stood there, looking serious.

Kurumi smiled. “Just in time you two came. I’m just telling Sadako here who’s right for Kaze-“

“Kurumi, that’s going a bit too far now you know.” Ayane-san said. “Uh-huh. I don’t even sense the slight possibility in her to be a flirt or anything like that.” Chizuru-san said.

“What is the matter with you two?!” Kurumi shouted. “Kazehaya and I look way good together, ne? NE?!”

Chizuru and Ayane nodded. “But yesterday we talked to her here too. And she wasn’t like that at all.”

“Um…in fact, she looked kinda cute and nice.” Chizuru blushed. “Ok, now you’re the one being weird.” Ayane laughed.

I stood there, motionless. Kurumi almost bursted. She let out a sigh of grief and walked out. Chizuru and Ayane laughed. “Uh…umm…” I tried to speak up.

Ayane-san looked at me. “Don’t worry Kuronuma. I’m starting to get fed up with her attitude anyway.” “Yeah! ...hmm maybe we should stick with you instead…!” Chizuru-san giggled.

Ayane-san smiled. “Call us Chizu and Ayane and we’ll call you Sawako, ok? That’s a nice name you know.”

The three of us smiled.

I’m happy because…they defended me.
