*Kiyoko Sasaki's POV*
//July 17, 2040//Tuesday//
What happened earlier was a huge misunderstanding.
"Oi, oi, oi, Sasaki. What the hell was that earlier?" Raku asked.
"I told you, that is not what you think it is."
I explained to the three of them that both Kei, and I got trapped in the elevator when we planned to investigate the whole place at lights out. But, Raku took it as a joke, and the three of them were not convinced of my explanation.
"B-Big Sister! I-I will support you!"
"Kanade! It's not like that!"
Kei left, ignored the three of them, and told me that he would continue investigating the place earlier.
We are here right now in the Cafeteria, and these three can't stop asking me questions or rather wanted something romantic from my mouth about what happened.
"Besides, Why are the two of you so early?" I asked.
It was 6:00 in the morning when Raku, Kanade, and Megumin saw us inside the elevator. Usually, Megumin is the one who wakes up early to cook breakfast. So it was unusual for these two to be awake at this time.
"Kanade and I wanted to help Megumin cook for breakfast. She has been cooking all of our food by herself, and we wanted to help her for once."
"We tried messaging you, Big Sister. But you didn't reply to us so we decided to help Megumin just the two of us."
I checked my phone, and Raku messaged me at 10:30 pm yesterday. I was asleep at that time, and when I woke up, Kei, and I had a long talk so I didn't have the time to look at my phone.
"So why are the two of you not helping Megumin right now?"
"Don't worry about me, Sasaki! I told them to relax since something juicy might have happened between you, and Machida."
Megumin heard my question from the kitchen and went outside to answer me. How come she is so attentive? Are those the skills of a professional chef in a Five-Star restaurant?
"That's right Sasaki. Now tell us the real reason why the two of you are inside the Elevator."
"As I told you, we were trapped inside the elevator!"
I gave a long sigh to these two who were pushing me to give a different answer. I kept on pinching my forehead from all of the questions Raku was asking me, and it was quite getting annoying already.
"Good morning!"
"Oh Ichika, Good morning!" Kanade said.
Now Asahi and Ichika enter the cafeteria. I knew right away what Raku was going to do, and I bowed my head down on the table to hide my embarrassment at what Raku was going to tell these two.
"Asahi, Ichika do you know? We saw Machida, and Sasaki sleeping together inside the elevator."
"As I said, we were trapped in the elevator at the time when lights went out."
"Come on Sasaki. Like anyone is going to believe that." Raku said.
"I believe her."
Ichika and Asahi sat down at the table we were sitting on, and Ichika continued talking with her hand on her cheek.
"I tried using the elevator one time when the lights were out, and it didn't work."
"Besides, Sasaki isn't the kind of person to lie about something." Asahi said.
Finally, these two understood what I said right away. I glared at Raku for not believing in me, and he scratched his head while on his way to his seat.
"Asahi, it's unusual for you to be up this early. You were even with Ichika when you entered inside." Kanade said.
Asahi's face turned red and scratched his cheek with his finger while avoiding eye contact with us.
"I went to Asahi's room, and we watched movies together."
"Wait, so the two of you slept together?!" Raku asked.
"Yua suddenly fell asleep on my shoulder, and I offered her my bed so she can rest comfortably. As for me, I just slept on the floor."
"S-Shut up!" Ichika said irritatedly.
I was happy that these two are going along really well as time passed by. When Ichika opened his heart to Asahi after he confessed, and when she started to trust us genuinely, the relationship between these two got better.
"Finally someone admitted their romantic event, not like some other chick in here."
*SMACK*
I punched Raku who was sitting beside me and gave a long irritated sigh at him. He held his stomach because of the pain and tried smiling at me.
"It was a joke, Sasaki…" Raku said.
"Sigh… When will you ever learn, Raku? Sasaki already told the truth."
I was glad that Ichika was defending me against what Raku is insisting that I am not telling them the real reason for what happened earlier.
"But you know what, Sasaki."
Ichika gazed at me with those beautiful eyes of hers while placing her chin above her hand with an attractive smile on her face. I blushed immediately when Ichika looked at me, and my heart started beating fast.
"You like Machida, am I right?"
