"Finally, the big day's over!" said Jitsukawa as the student council, Leah, and Rika, were cleaning the event hall.
"Yeah, I'm beat!" said Kenshin.
"Are we done cleaning now? Can we go home?" Jouho asked.
"Not yet, Ryouka-chan. But you can rest for now, I guess. You must be tired because of the contest." said Poku.
"Hey, don't spoil her too much." said Miyazaki.
"O-okay, sorry." said Poku.
"Yeah, she might get used to being lazy." said Asano.
"Shut up, Asano-kun!" said Miyazaki and Poku.
"Why are these two always mad at me?" Asano thought to himself.
"By the way, congratulations on your win, Jouho-chan." said Jitsukawa.
"Congratulations!" said everyone.
"Thank you, everyone." Jouho coldly replied.
"Try to show some energy, Ryouka-chan!" said Miyazaki.
"Yeah, do it!" said Poku.
"Energy...?" Jouho whispered.
"Hey, don't force her, you two." said Asano.
The two of them replied "Shut up, Asano-kun!"
"These two!" Asano thought to himself.
"By the way, are you all free?" Kenshin asked.
"Yes." everyone replied.
"How about karaoke?" Kenshin asked.
-KARAOKE-
As Kenshin was singing a song, he said "Cheers! For Ryouka-chan's victory and for a victorious event!" said Poku.
"Cheers!" everyone replied.
"Y'all acting like it's alcohol." said Miyazaki.
"Don't be such a kill joy, Miyazaki-chan! Here, have a drink as well!" said Jitsukawa and she offered an iced coffee.
"Whatever." said Miyazaki and then she took the iced coffee and drank it. She thought to herself "It's delicious!" as she blushed.
"What do think? Is it sweet? Like you?" Jitsukawa asked as she smiled at Miyazaki.
"W-what? Are you kidding?" Miyazaki replied.
"Jeez! I'm just kidding!" said Jitsukawa.
"By the way, I hope you're not culture shocked right now, Daikuhara-kun, Boutsuki-chan, and Sakurai-chan." said Poku.
"Oh, don't worry about me!" said Jousuke.
"Me too." said Leah and Rika.
"Are you all sure? You're all quiet since we got here." said Kenshin.
"Yeah. Well, you know me, Kenshin. I don't talk that much if I'm not that close to someone." Jousuke replied to Kenshin.
"Is that so? I see." said Poku.
"Me too." said Leah and Rika.
"Same response, eh?" all of them thought to themselves.
"Okay! Stop talking so serious and formal, let's all have fun!" said Asano.
"Yes!" everyone replied except for Jousuke, Leah, and Rika.
The three of them added "Y-yes!
After that, all of them had fun. They sang, ate, had drinks, and even played some games.
Hours later, they were all tired; still, they're happy as they enjoyed.
"Man, I wanna go home and sleep!" said Asano.
"Yeah, me too. I'm beat." said Jouho.
"It's been fun, everyone!" said Poku.
"Me too! I had a great time! What about you Miyazaki-chan?" said Jitsukawa as she giggled.
"Hey...stop teasing me." said Miyazaki.
"So, what's your answer then?" Jitsukawa asked as she smiled.
Miyazaki blushed and whispered "Y-yeah...me too..."
"I'm glad!" said Jitsukawa as she smiled and hugged Miyazaki tightly.
"Hey, stay away from me, Jitsukawa-chan!" said Miyazaki. Jitsukawa laughed as her reply.
"And how about the three of you?" Poku asked.
"I had a great time as well. But I'm too tired; I wanna lay down until tomorrow. Anyways, yeah, I enjoyed and I'm looking forward for more hangouts." said Jousuke.
"Me too!" said Leah and Rika.
"Thse two..." Poku thought to herself. "Let's all hangout more often; not just as acquaintance, but as friends." said she.
"Sure!" the three of them replied.
"Anyways, let's go home, everyone. See you all tomorrow." said Kenshin.
Everyone greeted each other a goodbye and stood up. But since Jousuke and Leah were sitting at the corner, they are last one to stand up. The moment they stood up, they bumped into each other and they had an unintentional close face-to-face contact. They both blushed and stared at each other for a moment. They were left in an awkward moment. When everyone saw them, they were all speechless.
"S-sorry! I didn't mean it! Are you hurt?" Jousuke asked.
"N-no. I-it's fine, it's m-my fault!" said Leah.
"Let's go." said Jousuke as he offered a hand to Leah.
"Y-yes." said Leah. When she took Jousuke's hand, she thought to herself "Why does my heart always flutter when I get to have an unexpected contact with you? My heart never does this to anyone..."
"Hey! You can't be doing such inappropriate things! You're wearing the school uniform!" said Miyazaki.
"Y-yes! Sorry for that, Miyazaki-san!" said Jousuke.
"S-sorry! I didn't mean it!" said Leah.
"W-whatever, let's all leave this place!" said Miyazaki as she walked away. The moment she left all of them, a tear dropped from her eyes. She thought to herself "He's not yours!"
"E-excuse me! Did I bother her?" Leah asked.
"No. She's always like that." said Kenshin. He thought to himself "It's different this time though."
"L-let's go, everyone!" said Poku.
-JOUSUKE'S HOUSE-
"It's fine. You can win next time." said Jousuke on the phone.
"No, Jousuke! Ryuusei made fun of me because of my confidence earlier!" Natsu replied as he was crying.
"More like arrogance..." Jousuke thought to himself. "Hey, it's fine! You can just try again next time and make sure that you'll win!" said he.
"No! I can't make sure of that!" said Natsu.
"W-well, I don't know what to do!" said Jousuke.
"If that's so, can I please come to you place?" Natsu asked.
"Will that make you happy?" Jousuke asked.
"Of course!" said Natsu.
"Fine, I guess." said Jousuke
-LEAH'S HOUSE-
As Leah remembered what happened in the karaoke, she thought to herself "I hate this! I frickin' hate this enigmatic affection of mine! Just why? Why? Why do I like him so much? Screw this! Why do I think of your face every single time? Why do you always make me excited and nervous? I don't get it. But I do know that I like so much!"
After that, she looked into her room's mirror and said "I'm gonna make you mine, Jousuke Daikuhara!"
Litsuko smiled as she secretly listened to Leah. She thought to herself "Do your best, my dear daughter!"
