[NEXT DAY...]
"Ne, Tsuge-neechan!"
"Oh, hey Kintaro-kun. Did you n—"
"Do you like anyone?"
CLINK!
The sound of a falling cup echoes in the bistro. No one knows who it was or where it came from. All eyes were on the two standing the middle of the room as if on stage as the first act starts with a bang. All the girl could do is stare blankly at the grinning junior.
"...Um......what?"
"I said do you like anyone, nee-chan."
"Uh...you mean...like a friend?"
"No, silly," he laughs, "I wanna know if nee-chan is dating a guy."
SPURT~!
COUGH-COUGH-COUGH!
Again, the first-year redhead leaves everyone in shock. Most reacting in a dramatic way. As for the young chef, she motions for Kintaro to lean forward.
"Did somebody put you up to this," she whispers.
"Eh...no...Shiraishi and Kenya were talking about some of the guys who—"
"DAAHH~!"
That's when the very same people swoop in and cover Kintaro's mouth.
"K-Kin-chan, you shouldn't ask something like that out of the blue!"
"He's right!"
"W-Why? Isn't it true what the others are—mph!"
"Please, ignore him, Alivia-san!"
"Y-Yeah, he's not himself when low on food!"
"But I just finished eating!"
"Kin-chan/Shush~!"
"Pfft...buahahaha!"
"Huh/Uh/Eh?"
The trio look up and see Alivia laughing without any restraint.
"...A-Alivia-san?"
"I-I'm—I'm sorry...hehe...I'm not laughing at you, I swear."
She regains herself with a deep sigh.
"Kintaro..."
"Hm?"
"Do you even know what you're talking about?"
"Yeah. Shiraishi told me all about it before."
Alivia gives an amused smile towards Shintenhoji's captain, who sheepishly grins. With a shrug, the girl ruffles Kintaro's hair.
"Would you like to know?"
"Eh...?"
[Moments Later...]
In the lounge/break room, Alivia sits on one of the tables, facing the furniture and fireplace.
"Here's some juice."
"Thank you, Hirakoba-kun."
Alivia watches him pass out juice to the others: Yukimura, Shiraishi, Oshitari, Kintaro, Otori, and Sengoku. Unaware to them, their teammates were hiding just above them. Behind the pillars, the pool tables, and down each end of the halls.
