Uh... what's going on...

Ami... isn't that supposed to be Damia's nickname for Emile!?

What kind of trick is this? They changed her name just so Emile, who has an exaggeratedly cruel personality, could become a teacher? Hey, even if you're going to change it, at least change it completely! What's with just changing the last character? Are they afraid no one will figure it out?

And then, there's Irian senpai...

Mysterious, with a look that screams main character of a book. Could she be some sort of behind-the-scenes boss...

"Well, if you're not willing to confess, then so be it."

Irian senpai's expression once again turned gloomy--

"But you better stay away from Emile. Because she..."

Likes girls even though she's a girl herself, I know.

Aya: "Anyway, let's go to the cafeteria, okay?"

Wakaka: "Yeah, senpai has been living here for six... cough, four years, so she must know some good places to eat, right?"

"Hmph," Irian leisurely walked back to her own bed, flipping through the books on her shelf with her glasses on. "I'm not interested in getting along with any of you."

Aya whispered, "Tsk, so cold."

Wakaka whispered, "Hmph, what an attitude."

"... " I forced a smile. "Anyway, let's go eat something... Huh!?"

A strong wave of dizziness washed over me--

Aya: "Huh? Molly Ann?"

Wakaka: "What's wrong!?"

Irian: "Ah, wh... what's happening?"

This sudden feeling of weightlessness, coupled with the pain in my stomach, reminded me of a very important fact...

...which is that since I ran all the way from Nana's city to here, I haven't eaten a bite of food yet...

——————————————————————————

I felt the groggy sensation before waking up from a deep sleep.

Ah, I actually fainted...

Could it be because I haven't eaten for too long?

Hey, Molly Ann, passing out from hunger... do you think that's pathetic...

I felt someone's presence nearby, indicating that someone was looking after me.

So now I need to come up with an explanation for when I wake up...

Hmm, I accidentally tripped and hit my head, that's a good enough reason.

I opened my eyes and smiled at the person beside me--

"It's alright, I just accidentally fell..."

What appeared before me was Irian senpai's gloomy face.

The cold aura emanating from her made me want to scream.

"Ah... I'm so sorry! I just... haven't eaten for so long that I fainted... I'm really sorry!!"

Irian senpai ignored me and nodded towards someone behind her.

"Hey, this person woke up."

Aya: "Thank you, senpai. Thank you, senpai."

Wakaka: "We don't know why we're thanking senpai for someone we just met, but thank you, senpai."

I heard a hurtful comment...

Irian senpai shrugged without denying it, sat back on her own bed, crossed her long and slender legs on the bed railing, and leisurely closed her eyes.

Aya whispered in my ear--

"Senpai just fed you, you know?"

Wakaka: "Mhmm!"

"She's so considerate!"

"I didn't expect her to be such a good person!"

"She's really cold on the outside but warm on the inside!"

"---Huh?"

A chilly voice came from the bed beside me.

Seeing senpai's cold glare, both of them immediately shut their mouths and awkwardly smiled at me--

"Cough, it's getting late, so let's go to sleep. See you tomorrow."
