down the stair rail and leaped right in front of Kojou’s eyes.
    It was a girl with a very excitable air about her.
    Her hair was in a short bob with the ends curled up. She wore a sports brand hoodie over her torso. Her long, curvy legs extended beyond her short pants. Her slender calves and rugged basketball shoes made for an oddly cute pair.
    “Whoa?!” exclaimed Kojou.
    Kojou somehow managed to catch the girl, right in front of Asagi and the others’ shocked eyes. As a result, the two were in a tight embrace as Kojou gave the girl a dumbfounded look.
    “Y-Yuuma?!”
    “Heya. Long time no see, Kojou.”
    The girl called Yuuma narrowed her eyes as she made a mischievous smile. Her smiling face was off-the-charts adorable in a very boyish way. Kojou put her down with an annoyed look.
    “…You almost made my heart stop there. You’re just totally reckless, you know that?”
    The girl laughed eloquently, looking around the area. She seemed to finally notice that her antics had drawn the attention of the entire lobby upon them. She stuck her tongue out a bit as if slightly put off, looking at Kojou. Kojou was about to let out a very deep sigh when Nagisa stepped between them, as if to keep him from doing so.
    “Yuu!”
    “Nagisa, you’ve grown so beautiful. I didn’t recognize you.”
    “Oh, there you go again…! I sent you a picture practically yesterday.”
    “No, no. The real thing puts the picture to shame.”
    You’d think that line was sweet enough to make your teeth rot, but it was oddly persuasive when coming out of a girl’s mouth.
    Asagi gazed dumbfounded at the Akatsuki siblings’ conversation with the mystery girl as Yukina, standing beside her, grabbed her shoulders and strongly shook her.
    “What’s this? What’s going on here?!”
    For once, Yukina sounded completely baffled. “D-don’t ask me, I have no idea…”
    The watcher of the Fourth Primogenitor had no idea whatsoever how the meeting with the boy he’d apparently been friends with back in elementary school had morphed into an intimate conversation with a beautiful girl.
    Finally regaining her senses, Asagi forced her way to Kojou and asked, “Hey, Kojou. What’s the meaning of this?”
    Kojou seemed at a loss as he looked at his friend, who looked much more bloodthirsty since he’d last checked. “Of what?”
    “Who is this person?”
    Yukina circled around Kojou’s back as she asked. Strangely, she and Asagi seemed like comrades in arms. Kojou, the pincer movement having cut off all avenues of escape, uncomfortably shrugged his shoulders.
    “My childhood friend. Duh.”
    Yukina and Asagi interjected at nearly the same time.
    “This is a girl, though?”
    “And a really good-looking one?!”
    Kojou looked even more bewildered.
    “…What are you guys worked up for? You saw the picture back at my place last night.”
    “Oh yeah, you never actually said you were meeting up with a guy,” Yaze calmly pointed out.
    “Muu,” went Asagi and Yukina, biting their lips in silence.
    Now that he mentioned it, sure, when Kojou said he was meeting an old friend, they naturally thought he meant a guy, but neither sibling had ever actually said so. Indeed, thinking back to the picture they’d seen, the person seemed too pretty to be an actual boy.
    Plus, the vestiges of the person in the picture were evident on the face of the mystery girl Nagisa was happily speaking with. So, they were indeed one and the same. QED.
    “—So they’re friends from your school, Kojou?”
    The mystery girl approached Asagi and the others, who had not recovered from the shell shock of which she was the cause, and made a very warm smile at them. She wasn’t much taller than Asagi, but her tight frame without a single bit of excess flesh created a near-perfect body shape, which seemed blatantly unfair.
    Plus, she had that radiant, smiling face. If she wanted, she could probably make anyone young or old, of either gender, swoon for her.
    But perhaps
