"M-Minamiya! There's someone looking for you outside!"
Just as Rozen was lost in thought, a boy at the front door of the classroom, with a slightly stiff tone, called out to Rozen inside the classroom with these words.
At the sound of these words, all the voices inside the classroom disappeared.
"Oh..."
Motoki's voice sounded somewhat astonished.
"That's..."
Kojou, sitting next to Rozen, also seemed breathless.
"Ugh..."
Asagi glanced at the door, then seemed unable to look away, surprised.
"Someone's looking for me?"
Rozen, interrupted from his thoughts, raised his head in puzzlement, looking towards the direction of the classroom door.
The next moment, Rozen also froze.
"Sorry for the interruption."
It was seen that, at the direction of the classroom door, a middle school girl carrying a guitar case politely bowed to all the seniors in the classroom, looking prim and proper, with a hint of unmistakable nervousness in her eyes.
"Himeragi Yukina?"
Rozen was somewhat surprised that this girl would come looking for him.
Not only Rozen, but the students in the entire classroom were buzzing.
"Isn't she the transfer student from the middle school section?"
"Isn't she the princess?"
"So cute..."
"So beautiful..."
"No wonder the boys from the middle school section were so active yesterday..."
The students in the class made various reactions.
However, at the same time, similar voices began to emerge.
"Why would the princess from the middle school section come to find Minamiya..?"
"Does she have any connection with him?"
"It's Minamiya again..."
"Wait a minute, suddenly encountering such a formidable opponent, what should we do?"
The students in the class showed signs of unease one after another.
Specifically, the boys were gnashing their teeth, while the girls cast warning glances at Himeragi Yukina, making her somewhat puzzled.
As for Asagi, Kojou, and Motoki, their reactions were even more exaggerated.
"Just started school, and you've already caught the attention of a transfer student who just arrived yesterday, and she's such a beautiful girl," Motoki said with a teasing smile at Rozen.
"Nagisa kept telling me how pretty and cute she was yesterday, making me a bit curious, but I didn't expect you to..."
Kojou said with some disdain.
"...Truly, Nichiyo, it's amazing how quickly you attract new schoolgirls, especially transfer students rumored to be so beautiful," Asagi said stiffly, her tone filled with dissatisfaction and resentment.
Rozen endured the suspicions and suspicions of many people present, sighing helplessly.
At this moment, Himeragi Yukina had already walked in.
"Sorry for the interruption."
Himeragi Yukina also bowed to Rozen, her attitude somewhat cautious, perhaps due to the tense atmosphere yesterday.
"Is there something you want to discuss with me?"
Rozen was direct, wearing a perfect smile on his face, but his tone was extremely straightforward, surprising those students who didn't know Rozen's true face.
Instead, Himeragi Yukina, seeing Rozen's perfect and kind smile, was a bit overwhelmed for a moment.
Compared to yesterday, Rozen's performance now was too good and too different, so it was no wonder Himeragi Yukina reacted like this.
But Himeragi Yukina didn't waste any time, her face tense as she met Rozen's gaze.
"Actually, I'd like to discuss something with you."
Himeragi Yukina used such a phrase.
And hearing this sentence, Rozen could basically guess what was going on.
After yesterday's events, Himeragi Yukina must have sought approval from higher-ups and conveyed Rozen's message, right?
After learning about Rozen's attitude, reaction, and abilities, the Lion King Agency made a decision regarding Rozen's situation, which led to Himeragi Yukina taking action.
"I hope it's something I can accept."
Rozen expressed such an intention.
"At least, I think it's something that both you and I have to resolve." Himeragi Yukina didn't hesitate, staring straight at Rozen and said, "So, can I ask you to go somewhere with me after school?"
At this, all the students in the classroom buzzed once again.
"Is... is this an invitation for a date?"
"She only transferred here yesterday, yet she's so brave."
"Too bad, she's too naive."
"Yeah."
"Do you know how many people have wanted to invite Minamiya out until now, only to be politely declined?"
"Even if she's a bit pretty and cute, if she thinks that's enough to win over Minamiya, she's too naive."
"That's right."
The girls in the class whispered like this.
As for the boys, they were already in tears.
"It's Minamiya again... It's always Minamiya...!"
"Why is it always Minamiya when something good happens...!?"
"Is being handsome that great...!?"
"Is having good grades that great...!?"
"Is being good at sports that great...!?"
"Is coming from a prestigious family that great...!?"
"What's so great about him...!?"
The boys pounded their chests and stamped their feet, full of resentment.
If the girls knew, they would definitely respond with, "That's exactly what's great about him."
This sentence would definitely make all the boys burst into tears.
And whether they were boys or girls, nobody thought Rozen would accept Himeragi Yukina's invitation.
There's just been too many similar occurrences.
Everyone present had never seen any student other than Kojou, Asagi, Motoki, Nagisa, and Avrora successfully invite Rozen.
So, even Kojou, Asagi, and Motoki thought Rozen would refuse, right?
So...
"Sure."
Rozen agreed very readily.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Asagi, Kojou, and Motoki were stunned.
Not only these three, but all the students present had wide eyes, frozen in place.
Taking advantage of this moment, Himeragi Yukina nodded with relief.
"Thank you very much."
Himeragi Yukina left these words behind.
"Well then, let's meet at the school gate after school."
"Okay."
Rozen and Himeragi Yukina agreed on the meeting place and time.
Then, Himeragi Yukina left amidst the stunned reactions of the entire room, and Rozen took out his textbook and began to read.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Then...
"WHHAATTT!?"
Screams echoed throughout Saikai Academy.
On this day, the most popular prince of the academy accepted an invitation from a transfer student from the middle school section, spreading rumors of a date after school throughout the school.
And it caused quite a stir.
