"Mika and I just happened to be shopping around here, and we thought that this store seemed interesting, so we decided to check it out. We didn’t expect to see you here," Chiaki said naturally.
She made it sound so believable. Mika, who was standing beside her, chose to remain silent.
"Oh... what a coincidence," Seiji muttered, still dazed.
"Who’s this beautiful girl sitting across from you? Are you on a date?" Chiaki turned to Yukari and smiled.
"She’s—" Seiji started.
"I’m Yukari Asamiya, from Year 1, Class 3." Yukari was no longer smiling; there was a sharp look in her eyes as she faced the tomboy. Hello, it's nice to meet you... You don’t know me, but I know you two, Chiaki Wakaba... and Mika Uehara-san."
"You know us?" Chiaki's smile faded when faced with Yukari’s imposing manner.
