Yukari's feeling of tension was somewhat eased as she was affected by Mika's strong will.
Not long after, the van picked up Mayuzumi.
Seeing how the manga author had an obviously nervous expression as well, Yukari took the initiative to begin chatting about manga in order to ease Mayuzumi's tension. Mika also joined the conversation.
Now that everyone for the battle had been picked up, Kaede drove to Natsuya's residence.
All four got off the van and entered Natsuya's residence. Yukari found to her astonishment that Mai Houjou was the person who greeted them!
Mai Houjou had recently given the graduation speech at Genhana High School's graduation ceremony… Yukari had heard rumors about this beautiful senpai of hers who had the nickname of "Smiling Executioner". The rumors had left Yukari with a deep impression.
Yukari never expected to see Mai in Natsuya's residence, not to mention in maid attire! And, it looked so suitable on her!
